Cuba.
TAMPA, Fla, July 22.-Passengers
from Cuba and private letters announce
that General Campos is wounded and
besieged in Bayamo. The Spanish pa
pers state that besides Santocildes va
rious other officers also fell, and it is
rumored that one of them is the son of
Campos. Passengers claim that rail-
way car arrived at Villavueva station
in Havana closed 50 that no one knew
it's contents. Some say this Car con-
tains Campos and others maintain that
it holds the body of his son. The Span
ish press gives no details Of the encoun-
ter, and this makes Cubans believe that
Santocildes' body was left in the pos
session of the insurgents in Santa
Clara. General Gomez insists On his
orders prohibiting the entrance of pro-
visions in Puerto Principe. One OF his
officers was hung for dlsobeying these
orders. On this account large num-
