He Declines to Walk Into the Trap Pre-
pared by Campos.
HAVANA, Jan. 11--News has been
received that Maxine Gomez, with .,
COO of the insurgent force, has again
passed the plantation of San Antonio
and the towns of Alquizar and Guira
Melana. His present whereabouts and
his proposed destination are not at
present known. but his movement is
practically a counter march over
the same route by which he
entered the province of Pinar
del Rio. Guira Melana is on
a line almost directly south of
Havana. Gomez is therefore well out
of the region in the province of Pinar
del Rio, in which it was said he was
being enmeshed as in a trap.
The insurgents, according to late adj
vices from the front, are still moving
in the province of Pinar del Rio, and
as they are keeping near the coast, it
is believed that they are awaiting the
arrival of an expedition, having with
it a large supply of ammunition, arms,
