supporters who serve as scouts, spies. and camp
followers. AZ a matter OF fact there are to-day
moro than $4,000 fighting mon In the Cuban
ranks, equipped with artillery, small arms and
ammunition. The most formidable nuclei of
the patriot forces are in tho extreme
western province OF Pinar del Rio, under
the command of Gen. Antonio Maceo, whose
force 10 variously estimated at from / ], 900 to
10000 armed men; and in the negh hborhood Of
Puerto Principe, the capital of the eastern
province OF that name. whero, according to the
latest authentic reports, Gen. Maxine Gomez
was In camp about twenty miles from tho city.
All tho Cuhans are heart and soul in the patriot
cause. They may not be fighting In the field,
but they are insurgents none the less, and they
are assisting the insurrection by every means in
their power.
Insurgents Strong IN Cdud,rp The patriots
have striking advantage In the fact that their
banda for the most part, are mounted, and thus
they are able TO move more quickly through the
country and can easily elude pursuit. The
Spanish columns. ON the other ha,id. are mostly
infantry. Tho Spanish authorities spoke too
late when. In December last. they issued
proclamation requiring all owners Of horses to
place them at the disposal Of the military COM
manders out OF reach of the enemy. The patriots
had already got all the horses they needed, oven
in the provinces of Matanzas and Havana.

The fall and winter campaign In Cuba has
opened. II Is the purpose OF this article TO give
a brief outline of the situation at the present
time, whom the struggle for Cnban freedom has
been actively resumed. Tho period from June
until this month was tho rainy season, and the
heavy downpour made the roadless country Inn
pasSable for Spanish infantry or cavalry. But
though no vigorous campaign 10 possible under
such circumstances the insurgents have not
been idle. They have destroyed many small
villages and sugar plantations that escaped de-
struction last spring. They have been particu-
larly active in this direction in the provinces of
Havana and Pinar del Rio. They have greatly
damaged the railroads, particularly the West
ern Railroad, running from Havana to the
town OF Pnar del Rio; have carried away miles
of rails, and destroyed many bridges. As tho
Spanerds, to this day, have made no efforts to
organize II commissariat and transport service.

the railroad service will make II all the moro

purpose The Spaniards will find 1t far more
difficult now than last season to make
long marches owing to the scarcity of
food through hout the country. Moreover. the
Spanish atrocities have vastly increased the
bitter feeling among all Cubans. and the in
vaders will encounter a great deal more passive
resistance from the population than they have
experienced heretofore. Gomez, Garcia, and
their comr ades are expected very effecteally TO
divert n good share OF Weyler's attention from

Terrible Condition Of the Coua,ry.-This cam

completely paralyzcd by the acts both OF the

The Spauiards have done their full share in the
work of stopping all industrial activity. To-

west OF this line. and the plan Is to pen him up

prevent Gomez or any other insurgent COM

trocha which is about fifty miles long plays

shown by the fact that be has sent 10000 OF the
green recruits to occupy IL md has withdrawn
