Il Cuban Developments.
Havana, via Key West, Fla, Dec. 13-
| 1t is officially announced that the Span
ism forces under the command of Gen
erai Pando, in the province Of Puerto
Principe, have been pushing the insurl
gent leader, General Maxine Gomez, 81
closely that he was obliged, with about
200 men of his escort, to seek refuge in
the woods and mountains OF Las Deli
cias.
The commissioners sent by General
Pando to different parts of the Island
| with instructions TO negotiate with the
insurgents for their acceptance OF the
autonomous feature of government pro-
posed by Spain, have not returned in
single case, which seems to confirm
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 Belgado, 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 autoromic cabinet
for Cuba will not be formed until the
reformiSts and autonomists unite in one
party, and il is added that the reform
ist deputy Amblard, who is now in Mad
rid will, on his arrival in New York,
offer to Manuel Rafael Angulo, a MEM
Der of the Cuhan revolutionary jurta,
a portfolio in the new automatic cab

Cuba.
1t is, announced serni-officiaily that
General Sanguilly, the insurgent leader,
has written to Marshal BlaEco tender
ing his services unconditionally.
Some of the richest Spaniards in Cuba
have had further meetings here, at
Cieufuegos and Sagua, to consider the
advisability of sending petition to
President Mckinley asking for the es-
tablishment OF a United States protec-
torate over Cuba If within six months
the governments plan for the pacifica-
ton of the island gives no results.
Later advices from Madrid seem to
show that Deputy Amblard will be en-
trusted with the task of making new
proposals to the Cuban junta when he
reaches New York. He is said TO have
informed the Spanish ministers that he
counted upon the adherence Of General
Sanguilly to the new order Of things,
and if it is true that the latter has Of
fered his services to the captain general
the influence of Amblard at Madrid will
be greatly increased.

had capitulated, but that he did not at |

effect upon the insurgent leaders Still in
