ceived. He was then reported to be
marching westward from Cristobal in

whereabouts of Maceo's command, but
it is thought that they are retreating
before the advance of General Weyler.

day were unimportant. They only re-
ported skirmishes in which the losses
on either side were triflng
Rebels to-day blew up a bridge near
Zeba Mocha, Province of Matanzas,
while train was passing over it. The
armored car attached to the train was

THE CAPTURE OF GUAIMARO.
NEW YORK, Nov. 30-The first
definite news in the shape of details of
the capture Of the town of Guaimaro, in
the district of Camaguey, Cuba. by the
patriots arrived in this city to-day in
the form of personal letter from Gen
eral Calixto Garcia to the Junta in
New street. 1t was directed to one Of
his Adjutants. who brought it to this
city.
The report of the siege and capture
which was cabled here some time ago
has been denied by the Spanish author
tiles. The siege, according to the let
ter lasted twelve days. When the
officers surrendered the Cubans took as
prisoners all the men in charge of the
fortifcations, which included one Cap
tain, two Lieutenants, two subLieu-
tenants, eighteen Sergeants. one sur
geon and sixteen Corporals. All the
officers were paroled, but the men were
sent to the mountains to work on the
Cuban plantations. The constitution of
the republic provides for the release of
these men, and they were sent to the
plantations
The booty captured by General Gar
cias men was great boon to the
patriots. 1t included 800 centenas "a
gold piece worth 81 60) and other
moneys, aggregating S21 900. The arms
and ammunition captured were 5000
cartridges. 200 Mauser rifles, 160 Rem
ington rifles and two field pieces.
This confirmation has caused the Gu
bans here to rejoice. as Guaimaro is the
most important interior town thus far
taken by the Cubans. and has been con-
sidered Spanish stronghold
General Garcia further states that his
men are in good condition, and that he
will not march westward to join Maceo,
but will remain in Puerto Principe
