How the Insurgents Manage to
Fire a Suburb Of Havana.
HOW GENERAL SANCHEZ DIED.

His Last Words Were Cheers for Free
Cuba-A Belief in Havana That General
Maoeo Has Defeated tho Forces Of Cap
tain General Weyier.
HAVANA, Dec. 4.-The insurgent attack
on Guapabacoa, on the outskirts Of this
city, was much more serious affair than
at first supposed. The place was attacked
simultaneously at several points while
another insurgent force fired upon the
Spanish outposts at Bucaranas, on the
coast Tho garrison Of the fort left that
place to resist the attack, but was am
pushed between stone walls and farm
fences by about 800 insurgents, and, in
spite of the gallant defense made, all the
Spaniards were killed.
The attack began at 80 last Tuesday
night. The insurgents first fired upon
the Spanish outposts Of the city and sub
urbs, and In spite of the prompt precau-
tions taken by tho military commander,
and the fact that the local garrisons were
almost Immediately placed under arms to
repel the invaders, the latter, after the
skirmish, broke through the Spanish
picket lines, entered the city and set fire
to large number of houses in Aguacate
and Palo Blanco streets These thorough
fares, as rule, contained private resi-
dences or cheap buildings occupied by
refugees. Only one store of importance
was burned, it is said, although the in
surgents made many efforts to set fire to
other stores
The local authorities are doing every
thing possible to conceal the real facts in
the case, but there Is no doubt that they
have received bad scare, and that the in
surgents have demonstrated that 1t would
not be very difficult matter, in spite Of
reports of the military commanders, to
create just such another SCARE" to say
the least in the city of Havana itself.
News has been received here that the
troops of the Spanish garrison at San Jose
de Las Lajas, twenty miles southeast of
Havana, abandoned their post and joined
the insurgents. Many Of the citizens ac-
companied the troops and carried ammu-
milton with them. The news caused great
excitement at the palace, and fresh troops
were Immediately sent to the post, and
order was restored. Before the troops ar
rived anarchy reigned, and when the
troops reached the city many residents
were shot down in the streets.
No more social or family gatherings
will BIO held in Havana unless special or
ders shall be secured from the authorities.
All of the homes Of the leading Cuban
families are watched, as well as the move
ments of foreign correspondents, and are
reported to the police. The postoffice Of
flcials open letters Unfortunately. Out
going passengers when suspected, are
searched aboard ships, and steamship Of
flcers are closely watched.
Rumors are rife In Havana that fight
has just occurred between the vanguard of
Weyler' army and some of Maceos men,
with large forces on each side. The au-
thorlties are more than unusually reti-
cent. 1t is believed, therefore, that Maceo
gaineda victory.

RETALIATION ON GERMANY.

Vessels Entering Our Ports from That
Country Must Pay Tonnage Dues.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4. The president
has issued proclamation restoring tom
mage duties on German vessels entering
the ports of the United States On Jan.
20, 1883, q proclamation was issued allow
ing free entrance to German vessels, but
1t now appearing that American vessels
entering German ports are taxed, the
PRESIDENT directs that this government
retaliate The effect of the proclamation
is to reimpose upon the vessels entering
from Germany the same tonnage dues that
are imposed on vessels entering the United
States from Great Britain, France, Italy.
Spain and other maritime nations In
Europe and Asia.
During tho past year the state depart
ment has made full investigation into
the charges imposed upon American YES
sells In German ports and the fact has
been developed that while the imperial
government does not impose taxes on
shipping, yet the governments of the Ger
man maritime states for years have I'M
posed shipping taxes, so that there was no
real reciprocity.
ASH puslneSs proposibiou INC hfruhsor
ment has been considerably detriment
to the United States. The annual loss OF
revenue to the United States has been ap.
proximately CSC, 900, while the exemptions
which American vessels would have gained
in German ports would have amounted to
barely $500 a year. As a matter Of fact
these taxes have been levied on American
vessels in German ports. and it is under.
stood that the United States will make a
claim for the recovery of the amount 80
extorted.
Beyond this fact the exemption Of Ger.
man vessels from tonnage taxes In ports
of the United States has been in fact
discrimination on the part Of the United
States against It's own transatlantic line.
The terminus Of the American line steam.
ers Is at Southampton, and the st. Louis,
st. Paul. ETC., have been required to pay
tonnage dues, whereas the North German
Lloyd steamers have entered the United
States entirely free from tonnage dues.
