FIGHTING IN CUBA.
Great Victories Claimed for the Insurgents
Under Gomez.

-
Under Gomez.
Martial law was declared in the Provinces o.
Havana and Pinar del Rio, last week, on &C.
count of the advance of the insurgents. The
apparently irresistible progress of the Cubans
has encouraged their. sympathizers near Hav-
ana, and the Spanish authorities fear great &C.
cessions to the insurgent ranks.
Dispatches from Havana last week brought
news that the Cubans were making very rapid
progress toward Havana, and Sunday ispatch
brought information that they were within a
few miles of the city limits The cane-fields
had everywhere in the path of the insurgents
been destroyed, and the railroad station at
Xenes near Bainosa, had been burned.
Preparations were in progress Sunday for the
final struggle. Gen. Campos had slowly been
driven back before the advance of the victorious
army. and the best troops that Spain could put
IN the field had been p0werless. in the face of
the insurgent host. The Cubans divided into
three columns commanded by Generals Gomez,
MaceO. and Bandera, were then marching on
Havana's defences. The insurgent army at
that time numbered in the neigh borhood of
10000 men. The Spanish forces numbered
nearly $4,000 men. Up to Sunday there had
been no severe fighting.
Although denied by Spanish authorities. it
is known that there have been large number
OF assertions, and many of the Span ish soldiers
are in sympathy with the Cubans, as are also
the people of the country through which the
insurgent army passed. To this may be at
tr buted much of the success achieved by the
Cuban army.
The III Heroldo of Madrid stated on Monday
that Gen. Campos, Captain-General Of all the
Spanish forces in Cuba, had resigned 1t was
rumored about Madrid that further reinforce
ments would at once be dispatched to the aid
