FROM CUBA.-General Maceo is

FROM CUBA.-General Maceo is a
prisoner and General Crombet has been
killed. Without these two leaders all
is chaos in the insurgent ranks, and
liberty's most ardent friends admit that
the Cuban cause is lost. On Saturday
the Cuban army and the Spanish SOL
diers met at Palmarito. The rebel
forces numbered 1000 men, while that
of the Spaniards was 5000. A des-
perate battle followed, and Maceo was
captured. His secretary was also
taken. and all the personal and private
papers of General Maceo were confs-
Gated.
The capture of the Cuban rebel chief,
Maceo, and the disastrous defeat of his
army of 1000 men at Palmarita last
Saturday is said to have taken all heart
out of the insurgents and ended the re-
bellion. The war is over, say the loyal
Cubans, before the Spanish troops of
Gen. Campos arrive in Cuba.
