TAMPA, Fla, March 2S.-Passengers
on this evenings steamer from Havana
report that city at last in state of ex
element over revolutionary move
ments. The efforts of Cuban patriots
70 rise on February 2S proved futile n
the city of Havana and country i'm
mediately surrounding on account Of
the absence of Gen. Sanguilly. who
was to have led them. But now thei.
forces are well organized under abs
leaders, and may be expected to rise in
arms at any moment. Puer to Prin
cipe is declared in state of rebellion
by the Spanish government, which
makes four out of the five provinces
of the island in state of revolution.
The report that Maximo Gomez is in
Cuba is confirmed, and he is now al
the head of the uprising at Puer to
Principe. These passengers declare
that so soon as it is officially known
Gomez is at the head of the insurgent
army the whole army will rise en-
masse. Two engagements were had,
one at Bayamo and one at Eogin. Col.
Santcildes was in command of the
Spanish forces, and Masso of the
Cuban at the former place, and at the
latter Garrich was in command Of the
Spanish and Miro of the Cuban. The
insurgents were successful, and had
not reinforcements arrived Santcildes
and his troops would have fallen into
the hands of the insurgents.
The manifesto issued by the rebel
leaders inviting Spaniards to espouse
the Cuban cause has succeeded in win
ming valuable support-Miro, who
fought Garrick at Holguln, General
Popa, General Estaban, Tamaya, Col.
Liens, aide to Tamaya, and many
other chiefs of the Spanish forces in
the last revolution, have joined the
Cuban forces and are fighting for Gu
ban liberty. On Saturday battle was
fought at Guantabano, and the Cub
ans defeated the Spaniards with heavy
losses. Robi is at the head of over one
thousand men. He was at Baire four
days last week and went from there to
Los Negroes. Two engagements oc-
CURED at ManZanillo this week. Cap
tain Guerra was in command of the
Cuban and Col. Avoiz of the Spanish
forces. The latter was defeated with
heavy losses, including two officers.
When the two thousand Spanish troops
arrived Monday at Havana, portion
of them was hurried eff to Santiago
inside of two hours. Two of the soldi-
ers died on board ship and many more
are sick. There passengers state posi-
lively that the insurgent troops pay
cash for all they get to eat and wear
in the towns and only take horses sad
dies and arms. The negroes Of the
island are with the patriots, reports to
the contrary Notwithstanding.
