Rebels Are swseping Cuba.


SANTIAGO DE CUBA, May l9.-The in
surrectioA grows with tremendous
strides. General Martinez Campos has
changed his mind about ending the
trouble in three months. The chiefs
are greatly elated over the progress Of
the revolution. They say that more
has been accomplished during the last
month than during the first five years
of the last war They declare that this
war viii not last more than two years,
and may be terminated in a very much
shorter time if the people of other
provinces do what is expected Of them.
The original plan for a simultaneous
rising in all parts Of the island failed
and the plan now is to extend the wave
of the revolution westward, sweeping
the Spanisrds before it until all Cuba is
in arms.
For this purpose Gomez and Marti
have gone to Puerto PrinciPs, and
already comes news Of encounters be-
tween government troops and bands Of
Cubans formed in anticipation Of their
arrival in this province the rebels now
have more men, more arms, ammuni-
ton, horses and facilities for obtaining
subsistence than they had at any time
in the ten years Of war. They have
forests in their rear which are impene-
tEable to the Spanish troops, and they
have mountain retreats where 100 men
can hold their own against 900.

report and conclusion which was dis
tinotly felt all through the city and as
towns around the bay for a distance Of
20 miles, was at first believed to be
caused by an earthquake, bat proved to
be an explosion in the niToglycerine
and mixing houses, store houses and
gun cotton departments of the Cali.
forRia Powder works at Pinole, across
the bay. The crew Of the glycerine
house, four in number, and the foreman
of the mixing house were all killed, as
were nine Chinese working in the latter
department. The explosion occurred in
the niToglycerine house and was prob
ably caused by the Chinese dropping a
can Of the explosive. The cause cannot
be definitely ascertained, however, as
all connected with the building are
dead There were 200 Chinese in the
adjacent mixing room, and at the sound
Of the explosion all ran and the majority
escaped. The force Of the explo-
sion was tremendous. Hugh trees
were thrown into the bay a
distance of half a mile
and nitroglycerine tanks weighing
a ton each are lying now 500 yards from
the scene. Hands, toes, legs and other
parts Of the mutilated remains of the
dead are scattered along the road for a
mile. The nitroglycerine house first
went up, then the mixing house, store
house and the gun cotton premises fol.
lowed. The nitroglycerine house, of
which not vestige remains, was a 3.
story frame structure, I,200x5O feet. It
contained 5000 pounds Of nitroglyeerine
and 1000 pounds Of hercules powder. A
remarkable feature of the explosion is
that although the store house contain

completely wrecked, its contents are in.

MADISON, Fla, May 2t.-There is no

who outraged and murdered Miss Min
ME Armstrong were flayed and burned.
A man who has just reached this place
from Lafayette county says the belief is
that the negroes were tortured to death.
One man who yentured into the swamp
into which the negroes were carried as.
serts that he found the place where they
were put to death. He says that it was
evident that the negroes were tied to
trees and the skin stripped from them
with knives. Then wood was heaped
about the bleeding forms, the match ap-
piled and they were soon dead. This
man says that he found some strips of
skin about the place, which bears out
the assertion that the negroes were
fayed. Everything is quiet in La.
