The Spanish commander narrowly. escaped capture
 in the latter part of July, and his ex- perience led him to admit that the strength of the, insurgents was greater than he had given them credit for.
 Campos was at the head of 5000 troops, including the Sixth Peninsular battalion, and had advanced to Bayamo- to engage Gomez, whom he hoped to catch between two fires. He expected to destroy the Cuban commander and follow up that coup by advancing on Maceo and either capturing or killing him. This he felt certain would crush the rebellion. But General Campos, in- stead or dQing eltner or theSe things, not only suffered disastrous defeat but almost lost his own life. His vanguard fell into an ambush and suffered heavy loss. .s--o. ae".
 His main column was about mile in the rear, with himself and General Santocildes at it's head. A quick ad vance was made. and an engagement ensued which lasted six hours. Gen eral Santoeitdes was killed while gal lantly defending his superior officer. The Spaniards~were forced to retreat and took sheIteEin a building which was fiercely besieged by the Cubans. Toward sunset the firing ceased and General Campos ssuecaeded in making his escape by being carried out on a

The departure of General Weyler from Havana marks an epoch in the Cuban struggle for liberty. The downfall of the Weyler rule in the unhappy isle means that the rebellion will soon come to an end and that the army of Gomez will victoriously occupy Havana before Christmas.
 The recent defeats of the Spanish arms in Cuba point inevitably to the early withdrawal of the Spanish army. Never since the beginning of the war have Cubans been more hopeful or bet ter prepared to carry on the battle for liberty. Never were they so well SUD- piled with men, money and munitions. The campaign now in progress is mill itary movement in the true sense. and the Cubans thus far have carried all

decided that Marti and Gomez should move their-fprces farther to the west and enter Cainaguey, where they were to proclaim the civil government. When they reached Holguin, they were greet ed by 1000 recruits under Colonels Manduly and Miro. Immediately after their arrival at Camaguey the mani festo was issued to the world, and the march was continued to Dos Rios. where, May 1, a Spanish force was en- countered, and a battle ensued. Here the .Cubans suffered their first serious loss, General Jose Marti, while lead ing. a charge, was shot through the heart. On the very day that he met his death the eloquent appeal which he prepared and proclaimed at Camaguey reached the United States and was published throughout the country.
 The commander in chief of the Span ish forces at once announced that the loss of Marti had broken the backbone of the rebellion. but in this, as he had been in his previous statement. he was. mistaken. Instead of discouraging the Cubans, .Martfs death seemed to in tensify their feelings. Recruits focked to the insurgent ranks, and the sub scriptions to the war fund increased. 1ne liOcHd, WHICH was to nave DeSil such an effective bar to the progress of the rebels. proved a complete failure. Gomez crossed it and entered the south ern part of the province of Puerto Prin- cipe where his force was augmented by the enlistment of several hundred of the most prominent young men in the prov ince.
 General Campos saw by this time that the task he had undertaken was by no means an easy one. He was forced to change. his plan of campaign, and. in- stead of following Gomez up and crush ing him out of existence, he declared the province of Puerto Principe in a state of siege. But the declaration did not stop Gomez from making a circular

stretcher as though dead. With his troops he fell back toward Havana
 The battle of Bayamo, which was the first in which Campos had come into personal conflict with the enemy, was responsible for his subsequent recall to Spain and the substitution of General Weyler. More than 300 Spanish sol diers and 25 officers were killed dur ing this engagement. The Cubans lost 2 officers and 50 men.
 The next signal defeat of the Span- iards was at Sac del Indio, Aug. 31, 1895, when an attempt was made to capture Jose Maceo, who was lying i'll in a hospital. Antonio Maceo came to the rescue of his brother and drove the enemy off, punishing him severely.
 With the coming of September. the rebellion, instead of showing signs of weakening, was stronger than ever. The island was afiame from Santiago de Cuba in the east to Pinar del Rio in the west. Gomez had materially strengthened his forces. More expedi- tions had been landed and more ammu- milton distributed sy ise
 Sept. 13 republican form of govern ment was established. Representa- tives from each of the provinces met at Jimaguayu and constituted them- selves a constitutional assembly. They adopted constitution and elected by ballot officers to represent the Cuban government.
 Although Maxine Gomez had been selected by the New York Junta as the commander in chief of the army of lib- eration, he was again chosen by ballot cast by the assembly, and Antonio Ma eco was elected second in command, with the rank of lieutenant general.
 The failure of General Campos to full fill his promise and his retreat to Ha- vana were followed by the. first serious war measure on the part of the Cu-

patched to the suburbs of the city to guard against surprise and all the gun boats in the harbor of Havana were or dered to patrol the coast.
 The government at Madrid was well aware that the situation it had to face was a serious one, and in the hope of striking an immediate and decisive blow, sent 1000 picked men to join the regulars. The endorsements proved to be of comparatively little value under General Calleja, for in several minor engagements his troops were so harass- ed by the guerrilla mode of warfare waged upon them that they were loath to take the aggressive and were content to rest on their arms and await further orders.
 In accordance with a prearranged programme the brothers Maceo, Jose and Antonio, had sailed from Port Li- mon, in Costa Rica, and landed on Fortune island, near Baracoa, with 20 followers and prepared to join the forces which were then waiting for a leader The Spanish government had every reason to fear the influence of An tonic Maceo, because of the part he had taken in the latter part of the Ten Years war, and it was determined to crush him first.and then deal with Mar ii and Gomez.
 General Martinez de Campos, the ablest and bravest soldier in the Span ish army, was selected to proceed to Cuba and crush out the rebellion with out any delay. He arrived in Havana in the middle of April. and. not being aware of the exact whereabouts of Ma eco, determined to make war on Co., meg, who was then known to be in the east. His plan of campaign was to construct a trocha. or barrier, between the province of Santiago de Cuba and the province of Puerto Principe and so hem in the enemy and destroy him, but Gomez was too willy and refused to be trapped. although General Campos announced officially ten days after his arrival that the insurrection would be queled within five months
 Meanwhile the Cubans were carry ing out their plans as originally decid- ed upon. General Antonio Maceo took command of coco men in Santiago de Cuba.

the letter, and with such unanimity that the authorities realized that they had an organized movement to meet. The, home government at Madrid imme- diately was notified. and the situation was deemed serious enough to warrant the minister of foreign affairs, Senor Abruzza, in announcing that martial law had been proclaimed in Cuba. say ing that it was in order to check the brigandage instigated by Cuban refu- gees in America.

before them. It is a reasonable conclu- sion, therefore. that the dream of the Cuban patriots soon will be realized.
 The war in Cuba is merely continu- ation of former struggles of freemen for the priceless gift of liberty The Ten Years war. extending from 1863 to 1878, it is true. ended with disaster to the Cubans. but the leaders hoped on and planned for another and more pow erful blow at Spanish supremacy.
 Jose Marti, a Cuban by birth, headed the new movement. Marti imbibed the love of liberty with his mothers milk As boy he had seen his parents struck down by Valmacedas assassins. He had barely escaped with his own life. Coming to this country. he studied and waited for the time when the militant spirit of the Cuban people would rise to the fighting point. He formed home rule party in Cuba and in the Va rious American states, and collected funds with which to carry on the work of reform, meanwhile earning his own living as a writer. In 1892 Marti formed the revolutionary party. The seed had been sown and the crop was ripe. He and his companions claspsd hands and swore never to abandon the cause of freedom for Cuba. no matter what
  in every city in the Union where Gu bans lived, and the refugees who had fled to the United States after the Ten Years war began to send in funds in larger volume from the cigar factories in which they were employed.
 Commercial intercourse between the United States and Cuba was going on uninterruptedly at that time. and the movement attracted little attention. But Marti prosecuted his work with great vgor.- He purchased and cached arms and ammunition along the Florida coast, in San Domingo. in Hayti, in Costa Rica and even on the island of Jamaica.
 Aarti spent three years in his work of arousing latent enthusiasm and in collecting the sinews of war.
 Finally he visited General Gomez in San Domingo and persuaded the old soldier again to assume the military leadership of the scattered Cuban forces. Gomez reluctantly consented. and at a given signal the flames of rev. olution burst forth.
 It was Feb. 24 1895, that Jose Marti raised the standard of Cuba Libre" in Camaguey. Word had been conveyed by courier all over the island a week before. Tho secret agents of the Span ish government apparently knew of the contemplated step as soon as the Cu- bans themselves, for Feb. g the then Captain General Calleja suspended con- stitutional guarantees by proclamation and next day announced that the crime of sedition would be punished with in-. sfant death. At that time there were 10000 Spanish soldiers in Cuba and 5?.- 900 volunteers subject to immediate cal! if an emergency arose which required their services.
