MARTIAL LAW IN HAVANA.

The news in our dispatches of Tuesday
that martial law has been proclaimed In
Havana is a strong indication that the
Spanish officials feel themselves in an
extremity. Whatever may be the real
designs Of the insurgents, their enemies
evidently intend to be fully prepared for
the most desperate advance on their part,
namely, the attack on Havana, and for
an uprising on the part Of their SYM
pathizers in that city. The assertion OF
Gomez some time ago TO the effect that
the Cubans would either secure freedom
or leave nothing but bare burned fields
for their oppressors, furnishes one ex-
PLANTATION for the westward march by
slow degrees instead Of an immediate at
tack or Havana near the beginning of
the insurrection. II nothing better comes
OF the raid they will retreat with the
spoIls Of their forage into the Businesses
OF forest and mountain. leaving an i'm
poverished country behind them. The
rainy season will soon be coming on,
when further militGry operations Will be
impossible to the spanlards, and mean
while the holiness and success Of the
Cuban raid will inspire the natives of
the island with new hopes, and attract
fresh supplies OF men, arms and stores.
Meanwhile Spain Is already 20 far ex-
hausted with her costly but unsuccessful
attempts to subdue the cubans that she
