by arrivals here from Cuba that $500
soldiers from Spain arrived in Havana
by a man-of-war OH Wednesday of this
week. They are said to be largely
youths from IA years of age and up
wards. From Eastern Cuba, the dis
turbed district, come reports that Henry
Brooks is in charge Of about 1000 men
at or about Barre. General Maceo has
forces about Bayalo. General Joselaire
is said to be near Puerto Principe, or
ganizing forces. General Masso, who
vent from Santiago, is reported to have
fought Spanish troops near Mazanillo,
on March II, with reported loss to the
Spaniards and unknown loss to Cubans.
Rely on Fever and Rain.
General Guillermon is reported to be
near Santiago with 1900 men, divided
into five companies. For the next two
months it is stated there will be no vio-
lent progress in the revolution, as the
Cubans do not intend now to assume
the aggressive. Early in June, the
opening OF the rainy season, the Span

against their force and kill more troops
than the Cubans might with rifles. The
new Spanish guns of delicate mechan-
ism are relied upon to rust and fail in
the heavy rains, while the Cuban rifles
Of American make are relied upon for
better service. After this season, the
Cubans expect to begin their aggressive

sanguilly's Treschery.
General Sanguilly, who was the Rev.
olutioaist leader in the Havana district
Of Cuba, and who was arrested and
tried by q" civil court, along with
Aguirre who was arrested with him, is
said by the latest arrived passengers to
have collected *26. 500 on Thursday
night preceding his arrest. He then
told his fellow i~nsurrectionists to be
ready for action Sunday. On that day,

Trusted and Revered Him.
Being y battle-scarred veteran of the
revolution of 1858, the i~nsurrectionists
trustedsand revered General Sanguilly.
Confidence in him was absolute. The
statement now ONE from u passenger
just arrived that the insurrectionists
have now discovered that General San
gully for about eight years past has
been receiving $500 per month from the
Spanish government to keep it advised
Of any plots against the government by
the Cubans. In support Of this state
ment is quoted the fact that while now
in prison General Sanguilly is daily
visited by prominent ladies Of Havana;
that he is banqueted in prison; hat his
family visits him at will, and that his
son sleeps with him nightly
Cannot Live in Cuba.
The in]surrectionists interested are
now determined that if Sanguilly is re-
leased his life shall pay the forfeit of
what they say is treachery to their
cause.
Bearing upon the above, and vet
freshly independent of it, there came
here from Cuba information that the
Spanish government intended to send
General Sanguilly to the Philippine
islands, ostens bly, as All exile prisoner.
The insurrectionists claim to have
learned, however, that it is the plan of
the government to send General SAN
gully to the Philippine islands to lead
the government forces against the up
rising now i'll progress there, and that
he is to be given $40. 900 for so doing.
1t Is TO be presumed Sanguilly will be
glad To do this to escape the peril that
Will surround him should he be set free
