ceived by mail that Maceo has
crossed the trocha at Arte-
misa and joined other insur-
gent forces in Havana prov
ince. They declare that the
report circulated by Maceo of
his encampment at Cacaraji-
cara and contemplated at
tack on that town was a bluff
to concentrate the Spanish
troops at that point. That
the ruse was successful was
proved by the fact that Gen
eraf Gonzales Lunoz. with
large forces, was sent in that
direction to attack Maceo, but
upon their arrival at Cacaraii.
sara the Spaniards found a
deserted camp.
Maceo's followers, under
forced marches, then made a
detour through the southwark
and suddenly appeared at
Artemisa, the central fort on
the line of the troclla. Giving
bis. men temporary rest, the
msurgent chief sent word to
the commandment that he in
tended to lombard the town,
giving the inhabitants five
hours in which to leave the
city. Not needing Maceo'
threats the Spaniards woulc
permit no one to leave. The
result is known from the re
