SANTIAGO COMMANDMENT
The details are unknown Of the POM
bardment OF the harbor OF Santiago de
Cuba. In an the theatres patriotic
pieces are played that are many APP
plauded by the audience. 1t was rumored
that thousands OF insurgents nave m
vaoed Matanzas and Havana PROVINCES
from Las Villas; the fact Is, however,
that Maxine Gomez left Sancu-spirltus
jurisdiction and is at present WIN the
rebel brigadler Gomez in Trinidad JuFls-
diction.
WANTED TO SALUTE.
The Spasish gunboat Gaviota saw num-
erous rebel forces between tho Trinidad
and San Juan river which made pacific
signals TO her. but the Spanish gun boat
nred at them. The insurgents then
showed a white banner and the Spanish
gunboat lowered a boat that was sent
ashore. The sailors asked the insurgents
what they wanted and were answered
that all they wished was TO salute the
Spaniards.
All this united TO the statements made
By the civil governor Of Santa Clara,
Marcos Garcia. while he was there. that
he had a plan that surely would be ac-
cepted by the insurgents in order to OBJ
tain peace has made some people expect
an understanding between the insurgents
and the autonomic government which
will bring peace More likely it was the
scheme OF the insurgents TO call the st
tcntiOn Of the Spanish forces toward
Trinidad TO effect landing at some
other place or to facilitate General Ga
rillo's march from Remedies 10 Matanzas
and Havana Provinces.
PROCLAMATION BY GOMEZ.
An apocryphal proclamation of Max
imo Gomez has also circulated but look
ing al the kind OF paper and print any
body can see that DO has been printed
hare The rebels Notwithstanding the
war between Spain and the United states
have not gained anything positive in
these Provinces except TO prolong their
existence owing 20 the fact that they are
not prosecuted actively at present on The
other hand they do not perform any deed
at present perhaps because they nave
not ammunition or other resources.

rebels. have made them suspect or the
