Havana, Dec. 3.-The insurgents at
tack on Guanabaco, on the outskirts of
this city, on Tuesday last was much
more serious affair than at first stated
According to insurgent accounts Guiana
baco was attacked simultaneously with
several points, while another insurgent
force fred upon the Spanish Outposts at
Bucaranas, on the coast. The garrison
of the fort, it is added, left that place to
resist the attack on the town, but was
ambuscaded between stone walls and
farm fences by abou+ 800 insurgents, and
in spite of the gallant defense made all
the Spaniards were killed. The exact
number of soldiers slain is not known.
1t is admitted that number of insur-
gents were also killed. but here again
the number is not stated. On the other
hand, the insurgents are said to have
burned seventy houses in Guanabaco,
instead of 100, as the official report of the
affair stated.
Further details state that the attack
on Guanabaco began at 1880 Tuesday
night. The insurgents first fired upon the
Spanish outposts of the city and suburbs
and in spite of the fact that the local
garrisons were almost Immediately placed
under arms to repel the invaders, the
latter, after an hours skirmish, broke
through the Spanish picket lines, entered
the city and set fire to large number OF
houses. These included private resi-
.dences or cheap buildings occupied by
refugees. Only one store house of i'm
portance was burned, it is said, although
the insurgents made many efforts to set
fire to other stores. The local authorities
are doing everything possible to conceal
the real facts in the case, but there is no
doubt that they have received bad scare
and that the insurgents have demonstrate
ed that it would not be a very difficult
matter, in spite Of the reports of the mill
tary commanders, to create just such an
other "scare," to say the least, in the city
of Havana itself.

General Stumpf Of the immigration bu-
reau has made his report to the secretary
of the treasury on his recent mission TO
Rome in the interest of the proper OBJ
seryance of our American laws. On
his arrival in Rome the Italian ministry
expressed to Mr.. Stumpf its earnest de-
sire that persons who would not be per
mitted TO land in the United States
should be restrained from embarkation
and that such regulations as the minis
try had authority to enforce should be
promulgated with view TO preventing
further undesirable immigration and at
the same time save persons who intended
TO migrate n fruitless voyage.
The result of Mr.. Stumpf's several CON
feronces with the Italian authorities
was the issuance by Minister di Rudini
of proclamation giving in detail the pro-
visions Of our immigration laws and -
comprehensive explanation of each. The
minister requires each emigrant to pro-
vide himself before his departure with his
own penal certificate, setting forth in de-
tail his criminal record. if he has ever
been under arrest, which must he deliv-
cred to the immigration officials at the
United States port of entry. The proc
lamation also instructs all local immigra-
ton agents to refuse passports TO persons
not clearly entitled to land in the United
States.
Mr.. Stumpf regards his mission as
highly successful and anticipates very
