Havana, Dec. 5.-The insurgent at
tack OH Guanabacoa. on the outskirts
of this city, on Tuesday last. was a
much more serious affair than at first
stated. According to insurgent ac-
counts GuandbacOa was attacked ST.
simultaneously at several points, While
another insurgent force fired upon the
Spanish outposts at Bucaranas, on the
coast The garrison of the fort left the
place to resist the attack on the town,
but was ambushed between stone walls
and farm fences by about 300 in
surgents, and, i'll spite of the gallant
defense made all the Spaniards were
killed. The exact number of soldiers
slain is not known. 1t is admitted
that a number of insurgents were also
killed, but here, again, the number is
not stated. On the other hand, the in
surgents are said to have burned sew
enty-four houses in Guanabacoa, in
stead of one house, as the official re-
ports of the affair stated.
Private adyices from Santiago de
Cuba say that the Province of Puerto
Principe has been exceedingly quiet
since the last engagen ent of Gen. Cas-
tellanoS with the combined insurgent
forces of Gomez and Garcia The in
Garcia is reported to be returning
eastward, while Gomez is moving west
to reinvade the Province of Santa
CLARA The latest advices indicate that
Gomez crossed the trocha between
Jucaro and Moron when the military
train there was dynamited. The dis.
patch was dated Nov. %, saying that
the local Spanish guerillas of Remedies
and Caibaron. mistaking each other for
insurgents, have had serious encoun-
ter.
Gen Ynclan, in Pinar del Rio, re-
ports say, has arrived at Artemisa
with 100 sick soldiers, brought in carts
from Cayajabos. The battalion Of As
truias alone is said to have $50 men on
the sick list in Pinar del Rio hospitals

tration of insurgents in the rear of the

Jacksonville, Fla, Dec. S.-A speclal
to the Citizen from Key West says:
The steamer Whitney brought HaVaifl
news this morning in relation 20 Maceo
and Weyler Passengers state lllat
Weyler himself is now encamped ten
miles from Artemisa, and his army Is
scattered along the trocha and through
the Pinar del Rio districts. When
Maceo retreated from Weyler III his
first campaign his plan was to surprise
WeyIer at the first opportunity, and
now Maceo has his army on either side
of Weyler and they are having daily
skirmisheS. Weyler is completely
hemmed in, and if he shall attempt TO
move he will be compelled TO so TO
Artemisa. Small bands have crossed
the trocha into Havana district ana
are attacking the outposts and villages
OF that province.
Insurgents numbering 1000 are Ell
camped in Havana Province, twenty
miles from Havana. and Will go To
Maceo's assistance when needed. Spies
in Havana are keeping the insurgents
posted as to the movements OF the
Spanish posts. A movement IS on
foot to capture Weyler If he shall at
tempt to go to Havana by rail. Fire
men and volunteers in Havana are be-
ing sent to Weyler's relief. Hereto
fore these troops were used in the de
Tense of the city. Since Tuesdays raid
on Guiana bacoa the city has been at
tackled almost every night and Thurs
day night $50 Cuban cavalry rode FOR
two hours through the city. The dam
age done amounts to thirty-siX houses
burned and a large quantity of sup
plies and ammunition seized; also
large number of mules loaded and
ready to leave the city were taken.
Firing Near havana.
Jacksonville, Fla, Dee. 7.-To-day's
Havana advices report an excited con-
tiict of opinion there as to whether the
forcing of the trocha by the CubanS
yesterday was by guerilla bands or by
the van guard OF Maceo's army in
movement to unite with Gomez.
Spaniards have given no definite news
from the front for a week and at the
same time have redoubled their censor
ship of the press. Sharp firing has
been heard in Havana from the neigh
borhood of Guanabacoa and other sub
urbs of that section, and all Havana is
excited over the occurrence. Nearly
all the Havana volunteers have gone
10 the front. About 100 soldiers have
been killed or wounded in these en-
gagementS.

Intense Excitement at Madrid as to
What He VIII Say


New York, Dec. S.-A dispatch from
Madrid to the World says: Intense
anxiety is felt by all classes concerning
what President Cleveland may say in
his message about Cuba and subse-
quent action by the American congress.
In Official circles this anxiety is even
keener than it is in unofficial circles.
Most Of the Spanish Conservatives per-
ceive that many people in Spain are
inclined to believe that il. President
Cleveland's language is sufficiently
conciliator to pave the way for an un-
derstanding between Spain and the
United States for an honorable settle
ment, implying no infringement of
Spanish sovereignty in Cuba, such an
impression probably will be made on
the public mind and on the court itself
as may induce Queen Christiana to
change the present war and repressive
policy in Cuba for q more liberal one
The government will allow no demon
stration when the news Of the attitude
assumed by America arrives. The au-
thorities are instructed to act energet-
ically.

Gromer, the British agent at Cairo, In

money necessary to repay to the caisse
the Egyptian debt of So, 100000 paid
out to meet the expenses of the Anglo
Egyptian expedition to Dongola. which
the court of appeals at Alexandria OH
Dec. 2 decided should not have been
used for the war expenses, and must
be paid back to the caisse by the
Egyptian government. In certain cir
cles, far from being a defeat of british
policy in Egypt, as prominent f ,ench
newspapers regarded it, the decision Of
the Alexandria court of appeals, in vil-
tually making Great Britain pay the
expenses of the expedition to Dongolia,
strengthens the hold Of that country
upon Egypt, turns the affair into a
purely British undertaking and post
pones indefinitely any idea of the eyac-
uation of that country by the British
troops.
