NEW YORK, March 5.-The
steamer Vigilance, which arrived
yesterday, brings news from the
revolution in Cuba. According to
the passengers the revolt is Of
more formidable character than
the Spanish authorities seem will
ing to admit. The leading paper
OF that country under date Of
February Is, gives the following
account of the revolution:
"The first news of the revolt was
received in MonZanillO February
90. A party of over fifty men at
Calicito had broken out into the
familiar cry of the Cuban patriots:
"Viva Cuba lebre :" "long live
Cuba" The band was headed by
Don Bartolo Maso, one Of the lead
ers in the revolution in 1864. He
was accompanied by Don Amador
Guerra and Don Enrique Cespedes.
Calicito is very rich district, in
which there are many sugar plan.
tations, and among them Central
Salvador, of which it was the aim
OF the revolutionists to take pos
session, on account OF its arms and
ammunition. The Alcade OF Mon
zanillo sent troops to Salvador and
these prevented the insurgentsfrom
securing the plantation, but the
work OF making sugar was stopped.
The government tried to capture
the band without blOOdshed and
made overtures to them. A COM
mission, composed Of Don Juan
Ramierez, Don Leon, Don Stakmon
and Don Ramon Rica, was ap-
pointed to treat with them, but the
revolutionists had returned and
the commissioners went back with
out accomplishing anything. Don
MaZo's band retired in the direc-
ton Of Yara, the historical spot
where the first cry for liberty was
sounded a quarter Of century be-
fore. They are still under arms.
Another outbreak was in Barre,
but the object there was to procure
the removal of the Alcade of Jigu-
ami and the immediate establish
ment of reforms long recommend
ed by Don Maura in the Spanish
courts.
Still another revolt manifested
itself in Jogney Grande. The in
surgents Immediately raised the
cry of Cuban liberty. There sue
cess was of short duration, for they
were met by a detail of government
troops and defeated. They retired
into Cienga de Zapata, where it is
very difficult if not impossible to
follow.
In the eastern part of the island
there is an outbreak that seems OF
a most serious character, as the
government has sent from Havana
a battalion OF troops belonging to
the regiment Of Isabel La CattelOCa,
under the command of Col. Fidel
Santoscildes to subdue it.
Another party Of revOlutiOnists
has been discovered in Marrero,
near Colon. The last revolt report
ed was in Seiba Mocha and was
headed by the famous bandit, Man
uel Garcia. He proposed to plum
der in the name Of freedom, but one
day his party murdered a mulatto
called Jose Lopez. The report OF
the gun which killed Lopez fright
ened Garcia's horse and he dashed
away. When he was returning, the
whole party met him with vol
ley. He fell from his horse des-
perately wounded. He was
placed on another horse to
be taken to Seiborucal, but
he died in the woods. There it was
discovered Monday by an officer Of
the civil guards and afterwards
was taken to La Mocha and buried
in the cemetery at that place.
Everybody thought at the time
that the body was that Of Juan
SaZa, another Bandit. The body
was exhumed February 26, on or
der Of the Alcade and recognized
as that of Garcia.
