Key West, Fla, March 31.-(Sent
from Havana March % to avoid press
censorship 25, 900 insurgents under
Gen. Maceo are swarming over the
provinces of Havana and Pinar del Rio
destroying property, ripping up rail-
roads and tearing down telegraph
lines $4,000 Spanish soldiers are in
the same territory and more are COM
ing. Gen Maceo is in immediate COM
mand Of the center column of rebels
with about 5000 men. Gen. Masso IS
in the southern part Of Havana prov
ince with about 5000 men, and Gen.
Lacret is lowering about the outskirts

The other 1000 men are divided into
small bands of pillagers. The insur-
gents are well equipped and have plen-
ty of ammunition and are capable OF
giving the soldiers a warm reception.
The activity noticeable about the pal
ace of Gen. Weyler seems to bear out
the idea that crisis is near at hand.

ANGLO-AFRtCAN CONTEST
ENGLAND SCORED, BUT FRANCE
HAS CONSOLATION.

London. March 29.-Politically the
last week has been a most exciting one
Egypt, the Matabeles, Mr. Joseph
Chamberlain's speech, the transyaal
and the Madagascar matters were mat
tiers of first-class importance and then
came the resignation of NJ. Betherelot,
French minister of foreign affairs. The
resignation is interpreted as the out
come of Frances abortive attempt to
prevent the use OF the Egyptian funds
by the Nile expedition. England scored
in that matter, but France has the con-
ISOLATION of knowing Germany's action
was Influenced by Italy's predicament,
not by love of England, and is likely to
leave England in the lurch later in
the game. Italy may be compelled by
public opinion to retire from the Afri-
can campaign. African schemes are
becoming popular. There are in
dications that the beers in the trans
vaal, in the Orange Free State and
Cape Colony are making common
cause against Great Britain. It is
charged that German and Dutch agents
or that Cecil Rhodes, or both, are at
the bottom Of the movement. Cecil
Rhodes dream is of a great south At
rican republic.
