months passed in compiling data which is
confirmed by competent, well-informad
impartial parties, the correspondent Of
the Associated Press is able to announce
that in the country comprised between
Cape San Antonio, Pinar del Rio and
the Jucaro-Moron military line of the
province of Puerto Principe, there are
5000 insurgents, well armed with rifles
and sub-divided into small bands. The
latter live during the greater part of the
year in the woods and mountains. Be.
sides these bands there are many thou.

camps who are either unarmed or only
armed with machetes. In the "conceII

bers of men, the greater part of the in.

A certain amount of dissatisfaction is
felt among certain battalions of the reg.
ular troops on account of the paper
money question, but no riots have oc-
Cured and it is believed Capt. Gen.
Weyler will shortly settle the monetary
question. In the meanwhile the finan-
cial situation is becoming more depress

The Greek newspapers all publish the

Advices from Constantinople are equally
pessimistic. Ii is alleged that Tewfk
Pasha, at Saturdays council of minis

issued a fetva declaring that territory
once acquired by the sacrifice of Ottoman
blood can not under the Ottoman law be
surrendered. If this be true, it will re-
