debe continuar ell temporal de lluvias
on Ia isla, juzgar por la paralizaci0n
de las Operaciones. La provincial de Ia
Habana es la unica en- que estos dfas Sc
repiten los encuentros. Ell tltimo nar-
te acusa dos nuevos: uno con las parti-
das de Delgado otro con grupos de la
de Aguirre, que son, como va diiimos.
los Gnicos cabecillas que dan ahora Ia
cara. A la partida de Delgado pdsola
en- dispersion una carga de dos escua-
trones al mando del general Figueroa,
las guerrillas de Madruga los hGsa-
res de la Princesa batieron los grupos
de la de Aguirre, EN- el ingenio San Mi
guel.
Datos llegados posteriormente del
combate librado en- Ojo de Aqua, & que
aver aIudimos, demuestran que Aguirre
fu6 derrotado por los batallones de
Puerto Rico y Guadalajara, en- iuris-
diccion de Jaruco; de manera que per
manece Ell la parte oriental de la pro-
vincia, al amparo, 10 mismo que Del
gado, de los montes de Madruga.
Lo que no acertamos explicarnos
ci6n que q los rebeldes prestan los cam
pesinos, es la facilidad con que los in
surrectos llevan a sitio seguro sus heri-
dos, que deben ser muchos Y acupar
bastante lugar. Esto no obstante, no
hay noticia de que Sc descubra nunca
su paradero.
Ofrece EN- estos momentos la guerra
un caracter muy singular. ST no fuera
por los combates que Sc hbran en- la
provincial de la Habana porque Sc sa-
be que Maceo continua en- las Tomas de
Pinar del Rio, creerfase que la terra
Sc habfa tragado las demas partidas;
porque nj en- Oriente, nj en- ell CANA
gUey, nj Ell las Villas, nj en- Matanzas,
dan apenas senales de vida. Bien esta
81 semejante inacci6n es indicio de su
impotencia. Pronto 10 hemos de saber,
porque nuestros soldados no permanece-
ran mucho tempo inactivos.
