Prisoner OF War.

Havana, Cuba, April 1.-THE govern
meat is exceedingly reticent about the
Whereabouts Of Maceo. Reports from
other sources indicate that he has
entered Havana PROV nce crossing the
new trocha along the Pinar del Rio line
between Marie and Majana. The au-
;horijies declared the line impregn2ble.
gsarthWorlls have been built extending
almost continuously across the island.
Maceo is absolutely certain that Ma
Geo is penncd up in the west. the
Spaniards are confident that he is
doomed. At least 80 900 troops are sta
toned along the trocha. Gen. Arolus
is in command.
The columns of Linares Inclan and
half a dozen others have been pursuing
Maceo since the landing Of CaliXto
Garcia's Bermuda expedition, but no
serious engagement has been fought.
The latest exploit of the rebel COM
maider- in chief was to enter the capt.
tai of Santa Clara province. His forces
swarmed into the city filling the place.
mounted guards patrolled the streets
from midnight till morning to secure
shoes. clothing and considerable am
munition.

troops in the city, rushed about dressed

roof of the theater as a safe place to
direct operations The insurgents de-
parted at dawn with the loss of two
men.
General Pando has been ordered back
to Spain for permitting Gomez to en-
ter Santa Clara province without a bat
tie.
Walter Dyart. the American prisoner
about whom the Senate asked inforrna-
lion and about whom the state depart
nent wired peremptorily to Consul
General Williams, is now doomed.
while his present whereabouts is still a
mystery.
Consul General Willisms received a
letter written by Dyart while in Guines
laiL The letter contained remarks
which were construed into an admis-
sion of an intention to join the insur-
gents.
Williams furnished a copy of the let

Neyler Before the letter reached the
palace the officials said Dygart would
probably be released owing to the lack
