GREAT SUFFERING IN HAVANA,

Herald from Kingston, Jamaica, says:
Cuban residents have received an
nouncements giving the safe arrival in
Cuba of an expedition in aid of the in
surgents, which recently left this island.
The vessel conveying the expedition was
chased by Spanish cruiser and COM
PEELED to land her men and cargo in the
vicinity of an encampment of government
troops. which, however, was avoided by
n flank movement.
GREAT SUFFERING IN CUBA.
New York, May "a special to the
Herald from Havana says:
The condition of Havana is deplorable.
Important business houses are closing
every week, others are threatening to
close. reducing their forces, cutting down
the salaries of those who remain, while
the price of living, always high here, is
constantly increasing. Stories of want
and misery are heard on every side and
everybody looks forward to the worst
summer in the history of the island, The
great cigar and cigarette houses-the
main industry of the city-are holding
down their orders ms much as possible,
as there is not enough leaf, tobacco in
sight to carry them through the sum-
mer Maceos destructive campaign in
the Nuelta Abajo district will ultimately
compel many factories to suspend and
deprive thousands of families of their
means of subsistence.
Smallpox has increased in Havana re-
Gently and the authorities have been
stirred to take action to isolate patients
to some extent. 1t is learned that the
health of the soldiers massed along the
trocha is very bad. The turning up of
ground across the island and the mass
ing of men without sanitary arrange
ments, result in innumerable cases of
malaria fever. The insurgents say this
is hardly a beginning. When rains come
the bitches will become muddy streams,
the little forte along the edges will crum-
BILE and fall and fever will decimate the
ranks.
Antonio Maceo's private secretary took
advantage of Gen. Weyler's recent offer
of amnesty to the rebels in the Pinar del
Rio district He surrendered and was
Immediately released. He is quoted as
saying he became very tired in the
mountain camps, where negroes FREEDOM
mate. He says Maceo has big army
in good condition, quite well armed. The
general remarked:
Whenever | get ready to cross the
trocha, l can cross it. The troops can
not stop me any more than they can de-
feat me where | am"
When Maceo was asked jokingly if
he intended TO surrender to escape pun
ishment, he replied:
THE Spaniards may some time get
my dead body. | will neither surrender
nor allow them to take me prisoner;
would kill myself first
