the Cabanas Principe, Alares, Santa
Clara and Reina troops, with heavy
artillery, and by 10000 volunteers with
10000 more loyal citizens in the city
willing to take up arms. With these
forces at command the authorities ex-
press the opinion with great confidence
that it would be impossible for the in;
surgents to capture the city unless
they were provided with siege ar
tfllery. 1t is claimed that only small
bands of insurgents are engaged in
the operations under Gomez, and that
they are successful only in small
towns. The main force Of the insur-
gent army is now in the province of
