LETTER FROM A CUBAN.
Ten Thousand Men Fighting the
Spanish Troops at Santiago.

TAMPA Fla. April 3.-The following let
far has been received by prominent Cuban
here from a friend in Central Cuba, under
date of March %: sit is the object of this
letter to give you some account OF matters
around here. The autonomists here are
very much afraid, but by and by they Will
t,ke the proper way and it will not be
long before they get into the rebellion. The
reformists are quite disappointed with af-
fairs, but are waiting for Martinez Campos.
They are preparing for the election of a
deputation unique. The government is dis
posed to give them all they want, but the
country does not want that. The Conser-
vative party, it is said, wants the annexa-
ton of Cuba to the United States.
FAT Santiago there are 10000 men with
the insurgents They fight the Spanish
troops every day in engagements of two,
three and four hours firing A great num-
TO the Cubans and besides that they may
go on in this way, for Spain has no money
TO pay the eImy. and necessity will oblige
them to desert the Spanish flag. At the
very moment that i write this news has
reached me that a large party is under
arms at Jaguey Grande and this, as YOU
know, is III the province of Matanzas. 1t
is not strange that after this will follow
some new uprisings, for there is great ex-
citement all over the country. The Amer
lean fleet Is around this shore and all the
Spanish men of war are at port on account
sion of them. But this is not enough, the
Spaniards think the Americans must send
some more VESSELS here to give more pro-
lection to Cubans who are American citi-
zens- The people here are ready for
the contest. All we want from you. is to
send arms, ammunition and plenty of pow
der. III there are some meE wanting to
come here TO help us, ii is necessary that
all be in accord. The mail now is opened by
the Spanish Authorities, so that you must be
careful when you write to me. The arrival
of MaNimo Gomez is awaited with great
anxiety DO not answer TO my name and
as you can write to me in Greek. ii seems
better TO do 50. You know why / tell you

CITY OF MEXICO, April 3.-The press
generally speaks in high favor of the action
of Mexico in finally averting war with
Guatemala Few people in this capital are
aware how narrowly the sending of a war
message to Congress by President Diaz
was averted. Diplomatic negotiations had
been given up and Foreign Minister Maris-
cal had decided the correspondence closed.
The Mexican government admitted nothing
could be done with Guatemala and the
whole thing was shelved until Congress
should meet to give the President power
to declare war. AS the time for the opcn-
ing of the session of the Mexican Congress

kept hot with long messages. Numerous

Conde De Venadito is cruising IN the
