THE REBELS.

Province of Matanzas.
WIDE FIELD OF OPERATIONS
Almost Within CunShot Of the
Spanish Troops.

HABAyA, Jan. 1.-The most conflicting
the movements Of the insurgent forces
under Generals Gomez, Maceo and Ban,
dera and others. The Spanish officials
continue TO claim that tho Insurgents are
in retreat and that the Spanish troops are
pursuing them cut of the province oil
Matanzas.
In spite OF these asseverations In official
circles, reportz continue TO be received oi
engagements at different points in the
province OF Matanzas, in which the insur.
gents are invariably reported To have been
routed and sent into retreat.
All the Spanish rc-enforcemcnts possible
have been pushed to the front from this
place and from every other available
point; but the insurgents burned the rail.
road station mt Cabezas, south OF Matan.
zas yesterday, in addition TO burning
more caneficlds, plundering stores In diff.
ferent villages and doing other damage.
They also plundered stores in the village
of la Giura, which is only short distance
from Union dc Reyes, supposed 10 be tho
hea 1quarters Of the Spanish troops oper'
ating in the provinces OF Matanzas against
the insurgents. From this fact alone IL
would appear that the Cubans are very
bold for people in full retreat 1t requires
considerable nerve, their friends assert, tO
plumber "a village almost in rile shot OF
the Spanish headquarters, and to burn
railroad stations not much farther away
from the concentrating point of the Span
ish troops. yet this is what was done yes
terday and what is possibly being donc
today, in spite OF the reported retreat oi
the insurgents from the province OF Ma
tanzas.
Then, again. Quintin Bandcra, third In
command of the CuDan forces, at the head
Of strong column of insurgents, said ta
number several thousand men, is reported
to be near Macurijcs Coral Falso), hal (
way between Union de Reyes and Jaguey
Grando, where the Spaniards claim Go.
mez is retreat!ng or has retreated inta
Santa Clara.
Now, IL IL il true that the Spaniards ara
pursuing Gomez through Jaguey Grandn
and into Santa Clara, tho insurgents com.
manded by Quntin Bandera are behind
the pursuing Spanish columns, and be.
tween them and their base of supplies u
Union de Reyes. not very pleasant posi-.
tion for the Spanish troops TO be ia.
Finally, IL is asserted upon geed-ati-
thority That Lacerca another OF the i'm.
portant insurgcnt commanders is moving,
int he direction OF Cidra, north of Sab
anilla and westward of Union tic Reyes.
If the railroad station of Cabezas, an
nounced TO have been burned, is that oi
the quite important town of Cabezas,
southwark and westward OF the port OF
Matanzas, then the insurgents are away
on the other side of Union de Reyes, and
have passed Matanzas. going in the direc.
ton. northward, OF Jaruco and southwark
Of Cuines, two important towns within .
short distance of Habana.

sible that a body OF Uitlanders may have

probable that the point Of junction would
be somewhere on the high open veldt be-
tween Pretoria and Johannesburg.

recklessness which will go far TO strip tho
