NEGRO INSURGENTS RISE IN CUBA
Declare That the Whites Arc powerIes IS
to Free That Country.


New York. March 21.--A special to a
morning paper from Nassau, New Prov
dence, says; Additional news continues
ito be received from Cuba of insurgent
Victories in the east. The latest and most
startling yet received Is that CUTLER Mon
acadia, the negro leader of a band near
Guantanamo, is one of the few men who
want TO turn the revolution into race
war. 1t is also reported that Monacada
surprised a large detachment OF Spanish
troops near Guantanamo recently and
completely routed them. In this battle
1t is said 200 Spaniards were killed and
wounded. This was followed by cruel
and inhuman treatment of the Spaniards
by Monacada's forces. There was but one
white man in Monacada's detachment.
After the battle he ordered this man TO
leave camp, saying the whites had failed
to free Cuba in the last war and now in
dependence would be secured by the ne
groes. Monacada's idea seems to be to
make another San Domingo of Cuba.
His attitude Is deplored by the sympath
ers of the revolutionary movement

Mrs Hardy made no violent demonstra-
