THE SITUATION IN CUBA.
A Detailed Military Occupation of the
Island Considered Necessary.

LONDON, Oct. "a dispatch to the
Times from Havana, dated October 5,
which will be published tomorrow, will
say:
~ have Just returned from
long tour through the province of
Santa Clara. l found that the bitter
ness OF feeling between the Cubans
and Spanish is growing stronger,
while the number of insurgents
in the province of Santa Clara
have increased lately, and l do not
see how it is possible for the insurgents
to make an attack upon the Spanish
forces unless they obtain a great ad-
dition Of arms and ammunition. Judg-
ing from the conversation of Capt. Cam
pos and the general distribution of
troops, it is evident that detailed mill
tary occupation of the island is consider
ed necessary at the present Wlie ana
probably continuing next year. The
sugar planters Of Santa Clara express
great uncertainty whether to make
sugar.
The crop is lost and this means a0so-
lute ruin to many estates. | saw a cir
cular letter, sent to the sugar planters
of the southern districts of Santa Clara,
demanding contributions for the insur-
gent cause according to the value of the
property, and stating that if the de-
mands were not complied with destruc-
tioa would follow.
"In an interview, copy of which was
cabled on Thursday last, Capt Gen. de
Campos expressed annoyance at the
IL &C. TT,4+oI n{ hn
sent time and especially regarding the
attempts of the Spaniards to prevent the
landing of expeditions and quoting the
Allianca steamship affair as an instance
of unnecessary troubles
"The damage done by the late hur-
ricane to the Western railway is estimat-
ed at $50, 900 sterling and through
traffic is still impossible. "
