MACEO AND RABI JOIN GOMEZ.
Eastern Insurgents Unite With the
Forces of Gomez.

GeneSal Jose Maceo and his chief lieu
tenant, General Rabi, according to latest
advices received from Cuba, have succeed
ed, after three weeks of forced marches
starting from the extreme eastern end
of the Island of Cuba, in effecting a juno
tion with General Maximo Gomez's forces
In the province of Matanzas.
About January 10 Generals Maceo and
Rabi started on the march of COO miles
With them We're 1900 of the best men
doing service for the cause of Cuba Nearly
all We're mounted on good horses, but what
was far more important to them was the
great quantity of arms and ammunition
which they carried with them. Eyer since
Generals Antonio Maceo and Gomez have
been keeping the Spaniards busy in PinaI
del Rio and Havana, General Jose Maceo
has been aiding expeditions to land in San
dago de Cuba. The result has been tha:
in the last two months there have been
over lo,uoo stands of arms and great guam
titles of ammunition and some artillery
landed.
Arms for Gomez.
TO get these arms and ammunition to
General Gomez was by far the most i'm
portant object Of this march The Spau-
iards We're well aware of the value of what
General Maceo had with him. and they

the line gave him an enthusiastic welcome
and many Joined his forces His SUNNY of
arms enabled him to equip these men, and
as nearly all these men had horses they
were organized as cavalry. Finally by
brilliant marches and breaking through the
Spanish lines the leader reached Limonre
IN the province of MalayZas, on Monday
January 20, with force of nearly 5Wy,
men.
He could have taken twice that number
with him, it is stated, had he not been re-
qulred to reserve the greater part of his
supplies for General Gomez. The forces of
General Gomez, simultaneous with the ar
rival OF General Maceo in MatanZas, start
ed to meet him, and it is now stated they
have met and united their armies The
march of GOO miles has been made in less
of the march the Spaniards have tried their
utmost to harass the insurgents.
The Fighting.
During the march the greater part of
the fighting has depended upon General
Rabi. General Maceo seeing that the bay
gage train got through safely. On more
than dozen occasions the Spantards have
announced that Generals Rabt and Maceo
were separated, and only yesterday Min
lister Dupuy de Lone announced that Macno
was not in Matanzas. General Rabt. sc
cordns to Madrid advices has been de-
clared to have been wounded.
me especial significance of the success
or General Maceo's march Is the aid he will
render General Gomez in equipping new re-
cru1ts. At this time, when SO many men
are leaving the cities on account of the
fear OF General Weyler, the arms come in
good season, as these refugees can at once
