NEW YORK, Feb. 26.-The out
break in Cuba is said to have been
Matched here in New York. 1t is
said that cipher dispatches received
here by members of the Cuban rev.
olutionary party, to whom the date
for the uprising has been known
since February 9, state that the
revolution has been begun. Jose
Martinez, twice banished from
Cuban soil for his hatred Iof Span
ish domination, and Generel Maxi
mo Gomez, who commanded the
eastern wing Of the Cuban revolu-
ton of 1868, left New York two
weeks ago for Vera Cruz, and the
news received last night from Cuba
tells that they have landed, for
their arrival was to be the signal
for the uprising.
This movement will be known as
the Marti revolution, for 1t is Jose
Marti, now on Cuban soil for the
third time, who will be the head Of
the provisional government il the
revolutionists are successful.
Gen. Gomez, who accompanied
him, is the commander-in-chief Of
the revolutionary forces. 1t was
here in Now York that the revolu-
ton was planned, and it was from
here that the order was sent which
started the trouble in Cuba.
The insurgent forces, at Natanzas
near Barria, where one wing Of the
patriotic army raised it's standard,
are under command OF Major Gen
eral Kuleo Sanguily. The point
mentioned is about &C miles east of
Havana, on the west end Of the
island. The scene of the other up
rising, Guantanamo, is on the east
end Of the island, and the fact that
these widely separated places are
given prominence, was accepted
by the Cubans in New York last
night as showing that the uprising
extended throughout the island,
and that the Spanish authorities
were attempting to belittle its eX-
tent.
The revolutionary forces in the
eastern end of the Island are COM
manded by Gillermo Moncada.
1t is estimated that he can raise
four thousand men. The Spanish
forces number about Is, 900 regulars
of which about 5000 are stationed
at Santade, Cuba, and are within
reach of the rebels at Dunkemo.
The bulk Of the remaining Spanish
forces are stationed at Havana and
are near the center of the starting
point of the opposition.
Generals Gomez and Marti are
expected to land on the south coast
but there is some uncertainty about
their destination, as they are forced
to move with great caution.
Men who are high in the council
of the Cuban party here and who
are entrusted with the dates set for
the uprising said last night, the
arms will have to be struggled in to
the country under cover Of dark
ness. General Gomez will be able
to arm 5000 men at once and many
more in a very short time.
Meager advices received by mer-
camille houses in New York con-
firm the fact concerning the revo-
lutionary movement. The plan Is
more complicated than in previous
revolutions which have invaded
Cuban soil. To begin, relying upon
the fact that the disaffection is gen.
eral the arms and supplies Of war
struggled to Cuba were landed at
widely distant points, for it's upon
patriotic troops that Marti and
Gen. Gomez must rely, and they
aim to,fire the entire island with
the spirit of rebellion at the same
hour. And to this end the ban
ished leaders and the trusty men
who are already upon Cuban soil
will all be given similar instruc-
tions.
The Cubans will be handicapped
in the matter OF arms but the lead
ers here say that their .countrymen
know every foot of the hills and
the roads and can endure priva-
ton.
They fought for ten years before
when their chances for success
were not as bright as they are now.
