THE CUBAN REVOLT.

Moot Severe Fighting Since the Beginning
of the War-The Spanards Abandon Their
Plan to Force a Battle with Gen. MaceO,-
and Hasten TO the Relief OF Beleaguered
Towns, and Find All the Fighting They
Want.
HAVANA, Feb. s, via Key West, Fla,
Feb. 10-The fgh ting in Pinar prov
ince in the last few days has been the
most severe since the beginning of the
war. The condition to which the;
Spanish forces in the west are reduced
has led Gen. Marin to abandon the at

Maceo,s forces include the bands of
Miro, Sotomayor, Delgado, Zayas and
Berlnudez. The official government
report gives them strength of 600.
probably much greater. The combined
forces fought pitched battle with
Gen. Luque at Paso Real Monday.
The latter reported that the rebels
formed in line of battle and charged the
Spanish lines with great valor Luque
claimed complete victory and asked
for the San Fernando cross, having re-
manned In command though shot
through the leg. After the fight Luque
withdrew his force to the capital OF
the province.
Wednesday the same parties of reb--
els besieged Candelaria, railroad
town near the Havana province bor-
der They had apparently recovered
from the battle with Luque. The vol
unteers and small detachment made
heroic defense of Candelaria for 20
hours. Marin, who was about leaving
Artemisia for Havana, ordered CaneIla
to the relief of Candelaria and to at
tack Maceo. He took all the available
forces and proceeded in person to sup
port Canalla. The latter made "a re-
marlable march, reached Candelaria-
and found insurgents swarming in the
towns in that vicinity.
The garrison held out, though many
fell. The troops of the Simancia and
Zamoria battalions attacked the be-
siegers, and the fight continued two
hours. The insurgents made several
machette charges against the Spanish
troops. The latter used artillery.
The losses were heavy on both sides.
The troops finally entered Candelaria.
Thursday night. The insurgents
moved west to San, Cristobal. Marin'ss
column arrived at Candelaria, and
Canella followed Maceo.
Another battle is expected. II is
impossible to learn the losses at Can
delaria accurately: The government
says &c dead insurgents were found on
the field of battle and 10 more were
found afterwards. Their own losses
are given as five dead and 4S wounded.
The American correspondent Manning
remains pending the result of the ac-
ton of the state department at WASH
ington against his summary expulsion.
The government reports Jose Maceo-
wounded in the leg in Santiago prov
ince, and also Bermudez killed.
Neither report is confirmed.
