Havana, via Key West, Dec 13.--It is
officially announced that the Spanish
forces under the command of Gen. Pando
in the province of Puerto Principe have
been pushing Insurgent Leader Gen. Max
imo 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. Pando
to visit parts of the island with instruc-
tions to negotiate with the insurgents for
their acceptance of the autonomous form
of government proposed in Spain, have not
arrived in a single case. which seems TO
confirm the report that some of them
5uye been hanged by the insurgents and
others have elected to remain with the
enemy.
It is reported 3hat Juan Delgado. the
insursent leader has hanged the two COM
mlssioners who were sent to him with
peace propositions.

Spanish ministers that he counted upon
the adherence of Gen Sanguilly to the
new order of things, and If IL is true that
the latter has offered his services to the
captain general, the influence of Senor
Amblard at Madrid will be greatly in
creased
Some of the richest Spanlards of Cuba
have held further meetings here at Cien-
fuegos and at San Qua, to consider the
advisability of sending a petition to Pres
ident Mckinley, asking for the establish
ment of United States protectorate over
Cuba If, within six months, the govern
ments plans for the paclhcation Of the
island give no results.
New York, Dec. 13.-At the Cuban tunta
headquarters, and from other sources
here, 1t was learned that Gen. Sanguilly's
loyalty to the Cuban cause had been un-
der suspicion for some time, and that his
reported action in Offering his services
Internationally to Gen. Blanco was by no
means a surprise.
Delegate Tomas Estrada Palma, how
ever, speaking for publication, said he
could hardly believe Gen. Sangunly had
capitulated but that he did not attach
much importance to the report. even If
true. A Cuban merchant, prominent
among the revolutionists in this city, said
Gen. Sanguilly was not likely to go over
again within the insurgent lines, and that
whatever action he had taken would have
no effect upon the leaders still in the
field.
Gen. Sanguilly was in New York until
about a week ago. II was said at the
junta that Senor Angoluta, referred to in
a dispatch, was not a member of that
body, which consists of only four mem
bers. Senor Angoluta, according to the
same authority, is a Cuban lawyer and
man of letters, who is one of the editors
of journal called Cuba, published in this
city. This paper has been published in
Spanish for the last three weeks To-
day it appears in English. 1t Is directed
by Senior Escovar, formerly of La Discus
ion in Havana, and advocates the accept
ance of the autonomy offers. II has no
connection with the junta
A prominent Cuban tonight received the
following dispatch from Gen. Julio San
gully, dated Philadelphia:
'Please deny the false and absurd re-
port of my having offered my services to
Gen. Blanco or to the Spanish govern
ment. 1t is an Infamous lie."
