~ .
HAVANA, Jan. 4. Unless all indiea-
tons are misleading, the end Of the
Cuban insurrection is at hand, and
the result, itwould seem, must be in
favor of the insurgents, whose armies,
under Maxine Gomez, Antonio Ma
Geo and Quintin Bandera, are nearing
this city from three different direc-
tons. 4h
lnsurgent cavalry scouts are be-
lieved to have been sighted from here
this morning. As these advance
bodies of the Cubans were at Tapaste,
eighteen miles from Guanabaco,
practically suburb of this city, last
night, it is by no means improbable
that the report that the Cuban
scouts have been sighted from the
lines defending Havana is correct.
1t is no longer cry of "On to Ha-
vana" from the Cubans. They are
here, slowly but surely surrounding
this capital in their triumphant
march from the eastern end of San
tiago de Cuba to the capital of this
island, in spite of all the best troops
of Spain could do to prevent them.
Step by step Gen. Campos has been
driven back before the advance of the
victorious army, until here prepare
tions are being completed on both
sides for the final and decisive
struggle, a3 g 7G'
TAMPA, FLA, Jan. 5.-An Ameri-
can passenger arriving from Cuba
tonight reports that the Cubans are
within seventeen, miles at Havana.
According to his statement, Gomez
hasni22, 000w men, The insurgents
burned QuiYican, San Felip, Duran,
Melena, Del Sur and Aguira Friday
night, These places are twenty miles nile
from. Havana.
