Santigo de Cuba, July 2s, via Kew
West, Fla, Aug. After fifteen days
OF doubt and anxiety concerning the
fate of Captain General Campos and the
column that accompanied him from
Manzanillo to Bayamo and was suddenly
attacked by large force of insurgents
on the way, the captain general himself
arrived here on the night of the 26th
INST. on the Spanish gunboat Cristobal
Colon. Many preparations We're made tc
receive him. All the buildings on
streets II was expected he would traverse
were decorated with flags and illumi-
mated, and two bands of music to sere-
nade the viceregal visitor were stationed
in the plaza before the governors palace.
The captain general. however, told those
who protfered him these snowy evidences
OF loyalty on the part of the city that
the times were not for such things.
Wounded in the Leg.
General Campos did not even come
ashore here, but, after having passed
from the gunboat to the steamer Villa
verde, he sailed for Havana at 5 o'clock
yesterday morning. According to The
commonly accepted report the captain
general was wounded in the leg in the
battle between Manzanillo and Bayamo.
and was obliged to return from Bayamo
to Manzanillo on litter.
Macco's Noble Act.
According to a letter received here
yesterday from the late field of acton.
the captain general, after taking refuge
with his troops i'll Bayamo. sent a mes
senger to Antonio Maceo. asking him to
allow the Spanish troops to go back to
the battlefield and gather up their
wounded and to give his word Of honor
not to molest them. Maceo answered in
the affirmative. adding that the Spanish
might not only come to take away their
wounded on the field, but that they
might come and take away those of their
wounded to whom he had himself at
tended. and accordingly the Spaniards
took all their wounded to Bayano.
Campos Expresses His Gratitude.
1t is said here that this action Of Maceo
so much pleased the captain eueral that
on his return to hanzanil.o Ne set at
liberty all the political prisoners i'll that
city. 1t is said also that he will do the
same with the political prisoners all
over the island, declaring, SO il is said,
that this is the least he can do in return
for sucn noble conduct on the part of
the rebels.
Spared Church Paraphernaiia.
At present the insurgents are very
much in movement around Baracoa
After burning SaDana. as told in the last
of these letters. they burned the village
of Jamal Before doing so, however
they removed from the church of the
doomed village, all the ecclesiastical
paraphernalia they found there and
stored the articles in private house.
They declared that they burned the
church only because the Spaniards used
it as fort. In addition they have had
in the same district several unimportant
engagements.
Baracoa in Danger.
A Spanish gunboat arrived here to-day
(July 26) from Baracoa with sealed
documents for the governor. A sailor
employed on the gunboat told the writer
of this letter that it was feared Baracoa
would soon be taken by the insurgents.
The rebels of this district are concen-
trating their forces aronnd San Luis,
with the object, it is said, of taking the
town
