A dispatch from Havana under date
of December 4 says: Reports current
for several days that Antonio Maceo
had crossed the military line of La
Trocha on November 20, are confirmed
He was accompanied by the bands of
Miros, Cebreco and Quintin Banderas.
The crossing was effected between the
forts of La Sanchez and La Redonda on
the line north Of Ceigo de Avila. Upon
crossing the line force of the insur-
gents was detached to make an assault
upon La Redonda fort, thus creating a
diversion 70 prevent pursuit, while the
main force pushed on to the borders of
Santa Clara province, which 1t is pro-
posed to invade. Maceo's force Is close
ly pursued by Gems. Aldave and Aide
Goa and Gems. Suarez Valdes and Ma
yarro have also been sent to attack him.
An important engagement is imminent.
the Spanish object being to divert Ma
coos advance upon Santa Clara and to
prevent his junction with the forces OF
Maxine Gomez. The munitions and
baggage belonging to Maceo's forces
have been carried on schooners from
the Manzanilla coast to Santa Clara in
order to enable insurgents to go unen-
numbered and move more quickly. An
attack upon a fort near Santa Clara has
been made by 800 insurgents. A col
umn Of $50 troops was sent to the relief
Of the fort and the insurgents were
dispersed. Lieut.. Aguilar, at the head
Of twenty EIGHT guerrillas, was sur
rounded by band of 200 insurgents
under Rios. near Manzanilla. The troops
fought bravely and the official report
says dispersed the insurgents, who left
three killed and five wounded when
they retreated. The troops had one
killed, the lieutenant, and six wounded
