GOMEZ A SPLENDID GENERAL.
HAVANA, March T. Maxine
Gomez, in the recent movement of
the main body of insurgents, east
from Havana province, across Ma.
tanzas to the line of Santa Clara,
and then back to the centre of Ha-
vana province, has displayed once
more the genius which has made
his military operations remarka-
BILE. General Weyler, with more
troops, better organization, more
thorough preparation for transpor-
tation and more largely augment
ed cavalry than Martinez Cam
pos had, has been outgeneraled
by the insurgent chief. Weyler's
first failure was when Maceo
was allowed to enter the Havana
province from Pinar del Rio and
effect junction with Gomez in
spite of the wall of men across the
island. Then all available troops
were sent out to strengthen the
columns, which were closing in on
the two rebel leaders within ytwen-
ty miles of the city. Official re-
ports had two large rebel columns
surrounded by three columns of
Spanish troops with cavalry, in
fantry and artillery. Gomez's new
forces backedf their lines in
the shape 81 a triangle and
f5r "a few days report
of serious engagement was await
cd. Just what occurred is not clear.
From all that is learned, 1t Is be-
lieved Gomez pushed one side Of
the triangle back, while Maceo
pushed back the other, and the in.
surgents passed out at the OPEN
ing. The fighting which occurred,
was not serious, for with about ten
Thousand on the insurgents side,
and double that number Of Span
ish troops, the losses all told were
less than 100. When it was
learned that the rebels had gone
east into Matanzas, the troops
followed. Other columns were
sent by rail to head them off at
Santa Clara. There were no en-
gagements of importance there,
for when the troops had all been
started east it was learned that
both rebel leaders were going west.
They had sent their wounded over
the line into Santa Clara, and were
unincumbered for future opera
tions.
Gomez counter marched to the
middle of MatanZas province,
where he stopped to see that the
estates should not obey Weyler's
order to grind cane. Those found
to be preparing had their cane
burned. Maceo returned to Ha-
vana province. He brought with
him his own column of about five
thousand men and as many more
belonging to the column from the
Orient, which have been moving
west for about a month. These
forces, added to those which re.
manned in this province make the
situation more serious here than
at any time. The outposts of the
enemy are within ten miles of the
city.
