1t is officially announced that the
Spanish forces under the command of

Principe, have been pushing the insur-
gent leader, Gen. Maximo Gomez so
closely that he was obliged, with
about 200 men of his escort. to seek
refuge in the woods and mountains of
Las Delicias.
The commissioners sent by Gen. Pam
do to different parts of the island. with
instructions to negotiate with the in
surgents for their acceptance of the
autonomous feature of government
proposed by Spain, have not returned
in single case, which seems to con-
firm the report that some of them have
been hanged by the insurgents, and
Others have elected to remain with the
enemy.
1t is reported that Juan Delgado, the
insurgent leader, has hanged the two
commissioners who were sent to him
with peace propositions.
A dispatch recently received here
from Madrid says that the autonomic
cabinet for Cuba will not be formed
until the refOrmists and autonomists
unite in one party, and it is added that
the refOrmist deputy, Amblard, who is
now in Madrid, will, on his arrival in
New York, offer to Manuel Rafael An
-
tionary junta, n portfolio in the new
autonomic cabinet in order to induce
him to return to Cuba.
