THE CUBAN WAR,
THE INSURGENTS REFUSE TO
 ACCEPT WEYLER'S PAR DON.
MaceO Not Hemmed in but Will
 Cross the Trocha at Pleasure.

NEW YORK, April 27.-A dispatch to the W orld from Havana says. ''Gen. Weyler's offer of pardon to all insurgents who surrender with their arms in Pinar del Rio within twenty days was published in the hope of weakening Gen. Maceo. But the rebel commander knows his brother Jose is on the others side of the trocha with 5000 men. He also knows that Gen. Gomez and Calixt0 Garcia are organizing columns in Puerto Prin- cipe to relieve him. Gen. Maeeo will never surrender. He sends word to Havana that he will cross the trocha when he is ready and that the im- mense Spanish army massed along the barrier cannot compel him to make the assault until the right day arrives. Ii is said that Gen. Maceo is deliberately waiting in Pinar del Rio in order to keep one-third of the whole Spanish army idle at the west ern extremity oi Cuba, while Gomez, Calixito Garcia and other command CTS organize an army and thorough ly drill their columns in the central and eastern provinces.
 Even now a rumOr reaches here that a large town in the east has been taken, but rumors are abund- ant and trustworthy facts are scarce.
 It is certain, however, that the power of the insurgents in the east is increasing daily and that Gen. Maceo's heroic position in the west ern hills is part of q great strategic plan of campaign.
 Gen. Weyler looks upon the trocha as the key to the war. In my talk with him he made that plain. It has been said, and is generally believed by the Spanish leaders, that Gen. Gomez and the other white com manders would make terms forpeace but for Gen. Maceo and his fierce negro followers who will consent to nothing but complete and uncondi- tional independence. The Captain General believes that if Maceo is con quered now the war will end in a few months.
