REVOLT IN CUBA.

The Spanish Government Announces
That 1t Is Practically at an End.
PHILADELPHIA, May 13.-The Spanish
Government has notified the Cramps,
shipbuilders, that the contract for gun
boat to be used on the river Cauto, in
Cuba, will not be needed. as the Cuban
rebellion is practically at an end. This is
due to reports made by General Campos,
Commander-in-C Chief of the Spanish
troops in Cuba, that no further ships or
materials Of war be sent him.
THE TAMPA STORY DENIED.
puy De LONE OF Spain says the Tampa
or more Spanish troops were slaughtered
is absurd. He does not regard a denial
necessary, but ne ex presses surprise that
the public should be misled into crediting
tragedy which. if true, would be OF such
magnitude as to be known by the whole
world. The Minister points out that such
great engagement would not have es-
capped the attention of the American COR
respondents on the ground. He says the
reports Of Geographic wires being cut are
untrue. The wires are in full use, and
there is no restriction on communicating
full information to the outside world
The Spanish Government knows of no
such battle, nor has word of it reached
the Minister. as he said would be the case
II such great engagement had occurred.
Senior Dupuy De LONE says there can be
no battles, as there is no enemy other
than small scattered bands who are car
rying OH guerrilla or swamp warfare.
