that Mr.. Sewall is president of

his name was sprung in the con-

there would be further gain Of nearly

CUBANS ARE SANGUINE.

Tampa, Fla, March 9.-Among
the passengers arriving from Cuba
last night was an insurgent ennis
sary with important dispatches
Antonio Maceo to the junta in New
York. This gentleman gives some
interesting facts about the progress
of the revolution and of plans
which Gen. Gomez intends putting
into effect. Maceo, he reports, is
now at Cano, five miles from Hav-
ana, with 5000 men. At Cano
they had a skirmish on Friday
morning. The people of Havana
are alarmed, but Gen. Weyler, the
agent says, does nothing to dis
perse the enemy, who are occupy
ing strong positions all over the
island awaiting Gen Weyler's
nromised attack. Among other
things mentioned in Maceo's report,
is that from January Is to Febru
airy 20 he captured from the Span
ish $500 Mauser and Remington
rifles, besides other arms and am
munition by intercepting convoy
trains and the capture of small
forts. Several field pieces were also
taken Maceo has now 5000 well
armed men and 1000 miscellane-
ously equipped. His losses at Paso
Real, Caldenaria and Alquizar were
POO men and forty officers. These
are all the losses he mentioned.
Since Weyler's proclamation fully
5000 men have joined the insur-
gents In Puerto Principe. Gen,
Maceo, the agent says, will return
there to raise an army of $4,000,
that he may by April, in conjunc-
ton with Gomez and others, con-
solidate an army of 10000 men
near Havana and be prepared for
an aggressive campaign.
The insurgents say that if the
United States recognizes them they
will win within year, if not they
will ultimately win, but the end
will be delayed.
