GOMEZ AND MACEo.
HAVANA via TAMPA. FLA. Jan. =.
Gomez and Maceo are now widely sepa-
rated. The former Is operating IN TINS
province. and when last heard from was
about twenty-five miles southeast OF TINS
city. He Is awaiting the arrival OF JOS
eph MaccO and the forces from the east
ern district They may join him before
TINS Is printed. or within "A day or w"
after Antonio MaceO did not turn BACK
to the eastward after reaching the pro-
vince OF Pinar del Rio. and meeting Dtla-
goa. the eN-bandit who led the iirst MS
ing at the western end OF the Island.
They destroyed telegraph communication
but doing no injury TO crops ana towns,
so far as can be learned.
Cubans say that all towns m the pro-
vince hoisted the white flag at once, ana
that Is why no towns We're burned mere.
while I'm Havana and Maianzas province
many were laid In ashes.
The city or Pinar del Rio, capital or
the province. did not surrender. as 10 was
garrisOned by Spanish troops under Gen.
Luquez. No news Of its being attacked
has been received.
Alaceo has had two engagements. one
was on tho 18th. when he SURROUNDED
forty soldiers and twenty guerrillas under
Colonel Sanchez who were on their way
TO the coast 10 meet the Governor OF me
province. who WIS returning from fa-
vana. and 10 escort him across coun-
try TO the canital. Maceo has 900 men
armed and mounted The little band un-
der Sanchez would probably nave peen
wlped ont but for the OppOrtune arrival
OF about three hundred regulars. who
heard the firing and went % their ai1'
The new arrivals attacked Maceo's men
from the rear and rescued what was
left OF the sixty A. an the wires are

ties which saws that Maceo's band Was
defeated Two days later Maceo was at

than five miles from where the FIRST hght

"A hundred times since they be
gan their march through the provinces or
Camaeuey. Santa Clara, and Matanlas.
10 the eastern end of the island, H. is
believed that they viii get together
again.
LACK MUNITIONS OF WAR.
The truth OF the matter is that the in-
surgents have not the arms ana IN" am
munition. even if they have the nerve 20
fight pitched battles, and no real battles
are fought
The Spanish officers i'm the field who.
after days OF marching their weary
troops succeed In coming mp Win me
-ear guard. or with meeting small de-
achmeut of the enemy and eNchangins
few shots, report battle ana glofiF
Inc bravery and hcrOism OF their men.
The number of their enemies Is eNag-
yerated and the loss on the cuban side
while that on the Spanish side
s. reduced 20 almost nothing.
Insurgents have gained many recruits
md captured considerable arms and am
nunition since invading this province,
pat Gomez does not want 10 eNpeud hmf
nunition in "a prolonged battle. Ute ana
.faccO both are said TO be anxious Tor a
ight. and there BIS no question that they
lave upwards of 1900 men, nut Do D..
rot believed the fight will come until
more ammunition is obtained.
