Anxiety Is Felt
Associated Press Special Wire.

Associated Press Special Wire.
HAVANA, Jan. 3.-The authorities con-
fess the grave condition of affairs by pro-
claiming martial law for the provinces of
Havana and Pinar del Rio. Maximo
Gomez has declared his purpose to pene-
trate into the province of Pinar del Rio,
although his forces have not reached the
borders of that province, the action OF
the authorities is understood to indicate
that they have no hope of preventing him
from carrying out his threat.
Latest advices indicate that the insurg-
ents are making swift advance directly
upon Havana.
The advance guard of their cavalry under
General La Crete was at latest reports at
Paste. which is only about eighteen miles
from Guanabacoa, the latter being but a
suburb of Havana, five miles from the city,
where bathing beach frequented by the
citizens of Havana is located.
General La Crete with his cavalry seems
to be but scouting party in advance OF
the insurgent wing commanded by Ban
dera. Word received from La Catalina, a
town between Guines and Bainoa and
about twelve miles from La Paste, reports
that there are indications of a rapid ad.
vance movement in considerable forces on
the part of the insurgent wing under Ban.
dera.
Nothing definite is known as to the
strength of Banderas column, but the
news OF the near approach of the insur.
gents has caused the utmost anxiety among
the authorities and every preparation il
being hastily made to have the city's de.
fenses in readiness to repel an attack or
prevent damage being done within the
city
So far as is known. Gomez is still oper.
ating in the region about Guines with a
large force of insurgents, and nothing has
been learned of the movements of that
wing of the lnsurgent army that indicates
an immediate movement to cooperate
with Bandera in direct attack upon
Havana.
1t is believed that a large band of the
insurgents is still trying to force it's way
into Havana by way of he mountains
about Ell Guanamon, which is on the Dor.

Havana. going thence south of San Nicees
