| SANTIAGO DE CUBA. May 81 via
Key West, June 10, 1S95.-The state of
affairs in this oriental region of the
island grows darker and darker every
day, and the rebels are increasing in
| numbers daily The death of the inde-
| fatigable agitator, Jose Marti, has
doubled the enthusiasm of the insurgents,
and not a day passes in this district
| that they do not have an encounter with
| the troops.
! In Guantanamo the two Maceo brothers
are constantly keeping the Spanlards
| busy, and news came today OF recent
| skirmishes there.
The rebels have begun to impose taxes
on the planters, sending them letters IN
| which they argue that If the Cupans
who do not go to the field, wish to see
| Cuba free. they must at least help with
| money, as it does not seem correct TO
pay taxes to the enemy and not to
| them. OF rcouse, some have agreed
and have given it very quietly, but others
have raised a terrible cry and have de-
| nounced the fact to the authorities,
| showing them the letters they have re-
ceived.
| The rebels have begun to burn the
plantations and small villages very free
| ly. Yesterday they burned a village
called "Cuatro Caminos," near the new
American Railroad station; LA Maya
| and five or SIX country houses in that
direction.
The General in Chief of Guantanamo
has decided to keep constantly under
military surveillance the railroad that
| connects said town with the seaport, as
| the rebels frequently destroy the line.
| The news received here from the
| United States saying that probably Sam
gully or Gonzalo Quesada will take Mar
it's place has pleased the sympathizers
of the revolution.
Marshall Martinez Campos is still con-
stantly on the sea. and no one knows
what he is doing or what his plans are.

WASHINGTON, June 13, 1Ss5.-"There
| would never be any such thing heard of
as a Cuban uprising" said Minister
Dupuy de LONE of Spain, ''if it We're not
| for the Florida c:garmakers and their
| sympathizers in New York, Philadelphia
! and Baltimore Florida has been the
base of operations of this last so-called
| rebellion, as we'll as of those that have
preceded it,
The Spanish Minister is naturally much
gratified by the Presidents proclamation
enioining strict observance of the neu-
| trality laws of the United tates. He
| frankly states that the securing OF some
such action ON the part of the United
States was the chief subject entrusted
to him by his government. It's accom-
| nlishment IS regarded as giving a fatal
| blow to the disorders in Cuba, and as
manifesting on the part of the United
| States a friendly feeling towards Spain,
which fully reciprocates Spain's cordial
| response to United States demands in the
Alliance affair.
| Secretary Olney, when Attorney Gener-
| al, did not hesitate to express personally
| his strong dsapproval of the course OF
T! the United States Marshal and District
Attorney of Florida in attending a pub
| licly announced meeting of Cuban SYM
| pathizers. 1t is known that the immed-
| late removal of these officials was only
| averted by their telegraph.ng a technical
denial asserting that statements that they
| had participated in the meetings were
false, though they never denied the fact
I that they were present The whole
| course of the State officials of Florida
| and the attitude of at least one of the
| United States Senators from that State,
| have been such as to put the United
! States in most embarrassing position in
regard to it's attitude towards friendly
| power, and also in regard to the proper
| enforcement of it's own statutes. These
diaiculties # is believed. will now dis
annaar in view of the expressed deter
| n,ination of the government to suppress
| all future tilihustering expeditions fitted
| out in Florida ports.
