Eight thousand in Pinar del Rio and
Puerto Principe.
Havana, June S.-After months passed
in compiling data, which is confirmed by
competent, well-informed, impartial par
ties, the correspondent of the Associated
Press is able to announce that in the coun-
try comprised between Cape San Antonio,
Pinar del Rio and the Jucaro-Moran mill
tary line of the province of Puerto Prin-
cipe, there are 5000 insurgents, well armed
with rifles, and sub-divided into small
bands The latter live during the best
part of the year in the woods and noun
tains. Besides these bands, there are many
thousands of Cuban natives In the insur-
gent camps who are either unarmed or
only armed with machetes. In the con
centrated" towns there are only small
numbers of men. the greater parts of the
inhabitants being women and children.
A certain amount of dissatisfaction is
felt among some OF the battalions of the
regular troops on account of the paper
money question, but no riots have occur
red, and il is believed Captain General
Weyler will shortly settle the monetary
question. In the meanwhile, the financial
question is becoming more depressing.
While Captain General Weyler was at
Placetas recently the insurgents attacked
the town OF La Qulnta during the night.
The insurgents were repulsed, with slight
losses on both sides.
