and bis sketch Of the rebel leader dis,
proves the recent reports that he was
seriously wounded and was dying OF
consumption. He found him actively
engaged and planning bold attack
upon Havana. Informed of the recall
of Gen. Caimpos,y Gen. Gomez expressed
regret. He said Campos did not want

They wanted him to treat and fight the

Loyalty to Spain cannot be Questioned, but
he was more loyal TO God and his manhood.
We regret because the change will mean
more bloodshed and misery for Cuba It will
mean the secret hunting of suspected rev.

perhaps the numbering OF prisoners taken.

Speaking fthe movements Of the diff
fcrentdivisionsof the army, Gems Gomez
said that Gen. Maceo would remain for
some time in Pinar del Rio, where he
was gaining many adherents. Banderas
would keep the troops in Havana prov
ince busy, and Jose Maceo would con-

in the east. Gomez is pushings forward
to meet reinforcements of 5000 men uni:

at hospitals in Cienago, obtain new
supplies and return to Havana province.

he was asked, and his reply: THAT re-
