HAVANA, Jan, 23.-The latest
movements reported of Gen.
Maxine Gomez were that yester.
day he was at the plantation Of

Chimuarazo, province Of Havana,
going southwark. He does not
appear to have camped last night,
but divided his forces and sent
them on the march in several dir.

closely pursuing the insurgents,
and it is said that he will be un-
able to escape east, north, or west

upon here as being rather critical.
