Assistauce.
 Havana, Jan. 3.-There is no doubt that the insuwection is gaining strength daily and the rebels obtain ing assistance from sources that have hitherto been thought to be loyal to the government The success of Gomez and Maceo in passing hitherto invulner- able Trocha, the military line that in previous insurrections kept the rebels in the province of Santiago and their dash across the province of Santa Clara into Matanzas, have led many men and youths who We're WaVering in their allegiance to cast their lots with the insurgents. The whole island is now in @ state of war.
 The restlessness in the provinces of HaVan and Pinar del Rio, the two westernmost political divisions of the island, has caused the government to adopt measures to prevent risinga there. Heretofore the leading papers here have had correspondents with the army who have sent reports of the various engagements which, after being so prepared as to meet the views of the censors have been published. These papers will now not be permitted to publish even news of this character, an order having been issued that the news rapeTs shall print no news concerning the instruction except such as is con- tained in informati ton officially furnish ed them by the government.

 Boston, Jan. S.~-The Journal will say tomorrow:
 "The Boston Journal, voicing the wig orous sentiment of the republican party of New England, declares for Thomas 5. Reed for the presidency.
 If New England's delegates to the national convention are to represent New England they must be Reed men, all of them.
 "Mr Reed is the biggest, busiest, best-developed man in the great repub. lcan party. He is by far the strong est champion of it's principles and policies, identified with all and de- voted to all, but making a particular hobby of none.
 He is the ideal republican. He is strong, alert, wise, patriotic, deter mined, good-tempered, thoroughly trained, of great public experience and yet in the prime of life.
 If he lived in Arizona or Oregon New England would just as enthusias- tically support him, as a duty to the re- publican party of the nation.
 The Journal considers this the time for a declaration of belief and pur- pose"
