The War in Cuba.
A Passenger From Havana
Brings News Of a Fight.

JACKSONVILLE. June 30.-A special
to the Times Union fron, Tampa. Fla,
says: The Mascotte brought heavy
passenger list from Key West this
morning. among whom was number
of cigar makers for new factories open
ing here. The llss from Havana was
Ii eht, but among them was gentle
man who is we'll posted on Cuban at
fairs. He states that Maxine Gomez
surprised garrison Of 1900 Spanish
at Alta Gracia aud had a severe battle
with them. He cut their ranks all to
pieces, and routed the enemy With
heavy losses After be had taken the
town be burned it. Col. Borero, one
of the Cuban leaders, was killed by his
own men, bat it is said. by some, acci-
dentally. Others say some of the Span
ish soldiers who have deserted their
Aag and gone over to the Cubans, are
responsible for his death. 1t is as
serted that the Cubans distrust. and
rightfully. these Spanish recruits.
Mar,i was murdered by supposed
friends. wno had come to the assist
ance of the Cubans. but in feet only
came to bribe Olivia to lead the patriotic
leader into the death trap Of the Span
iards.
Gomez is marching on Havana with
8 900 men, aud asserts that within a
short time he will water his horses 10
Rio Del Almendares and command the
port with Cuban forces.
Campos has made demand for H.
900 more troops. and nov asserts that
before the rebellion can be quelled
thousands of heads will have to be cut
of. These passengers assert positively
that the insurrection is spreading aud
gathering force everywhere. The Span
iards thought that the rebellion was
crushed when Marti was slain. If such
an idea had ever occurred to Campos it
is now dispelled. and the Spanish gov
ernmcot is greatly alarmed over the sit
uation.
The Spanish minister at Washington
discredits the dispatches sent from
Tampa aud Key West. Very likely
they do rot have their origin with a
Spanish author. but come direct from
the field of battle, FROM Cuban sources
in many Instances, and represent to
some degree the Cuban side of the
question. If Mr.. DeLorme will come
to this city be can learn the reason why.
After announcing. with flourish of
trumpets. that the insurrection was Of
little importance and that it vas crush
ed out when Marti was murdered.
Martinez Campos made demand for
40. 600 more men and equipments to
help suppress the same rebellion be had
reported as already crushed out The
American people can read between the
lines.

The United States government is
taking steps to force the Spanish gov
ernmeut to pay the Mora claim which
has been due for several years. The
payment has been postponed from year
to year by the Spanish Government ou
one pretext or another, until now our
government has become tired of wait
ing and will force payment at once.
Il is said that the United States has
taken advantage Of the Cuban compli
cation, knowing that with this on her
hands Spain will not dare to refuse the
demand Of this government. when a
refusal would mean another row on her
hands, aud a row much more serious
than the Cuban resurrection.
