THE CUBAN FORCES.
Insurgents Have but Sorry Army With
Which to Fight Spain.

Insurgents Have but Sorry Army With
Which to Fight Spain.
Reliable information secured by
United States army officers during
the past few weeks has developed
startling disappointments in Wash
ington as to the strength of the in
surgent army in Cuba.
For a year or more the newspapers
have been publishing stories to the
effect that General Gomez had an army
of 10000 men, armed with rifles and
machetes. 1t was represented that in
addition to this there were thousands
of ablebodied Cubans willing and anx-
ious to join the army of Gomez; but
who were prevented on account OF
their inability to secure arms and
ammunition.
Investigations made by the army
officers referred to, develop the fact
that while the island was full of re-
volt, the army of Gomez was nothing
like what it was represented to be.
Indeed, when visited, the general had
only 167 men under arms, with some
800 more in camp, but unarmed.
With General Calixto Garcia the situa-
ton was somewhat different. He had
several thousand men, we'll drilled,
and fairly we'll armed men. There are
available also great many other scat
tered bands of Cubans, under petty
leaders, and in the aggregate their
number is sufficient to make a formid-
able army. But it was discovered that
this army would not only have to be
organized and armed but it would
have to be provisioned also at the ex-
pense of the United States.
The war board, sometime ago, deter
mined to give the Cubans all the as
sistance that might be necessary.

The gunboats Wilmington and Hud,

entered Cardenas harbor at about !
o'clock Wednesday afternoon for the
purpose of attacking some Spanish
gunboats known to be there.
The Spaniards discovered the Amer,

from their gunboats and land batteries
The battle began at 2.05 O'Clock and
lasted about an hour. 1t was terrific
from the first.
The Winslow was the last vessel to

PLAN OF INVASION.

All kinds of plans for the invasion
of Cuba have been under consideration
for several weeks, and have been the
source of considerable difference of
opinion among the members of the
war board.
While the Spanish Cape Verde fleet
seemed to threaten the blockading
fleet, all were agreed that nothing i'm
portant in the direction of invasion
should be attempted until the Spanish
feet had been disposed of; but when
there came to Washington on Tuesday
what was considered to be satisfactory
information that the Spanish fleet was
not coming over, the Cuban question
Immediately pushed itself to the front
again.
According to General Lee, the mill
tary strength of the Spaniards in Cuba
is 10000. He told the president that
this force could be easily overcome by
$4,000 Americans. In his judgment,
the best plan would be to batter down
the defenses of Havana, and at the
same time attack the city from the
rear. With the fall of the defenses
and appearance Of the troops, the
Spaniards would surrender Havana,
and from there on there would be no
further trouble.
General Miles did not agree with
General Lee. General Miles is man
who thoroughly believes in the eff
cacy Of superior forces, and under no
circumstances is he inclined to move
against the enemy on even terms, If il
is possible to secure an advantage.
He thinks it best to send a large force
to Cuba, and he wanted To wait until
that force was in good shape. The
volunteers, he said, could not be drill
ed and properly seasoned under GO or
80 days, and he thought it desirable
TO wait.
The president is said to have acted
firmly and taken the situation in his
own hands. He agrees with Miles
that it would be better to have the
troops drilled and seasoned but this
would take time. Thousands of the
poorer classes in Cuba are starving
every day, and with each hour of de-
lay the situation grows even more hor-
rible. Accordingly, the president an
nounced that whether the army was
ready or not, the invasion should take
place at once
Under his plan, all the available
regulars will 20 to the front and do
the fighting. 1t was figured on We'd
nesday that $4,000 regulars could be
landed before Sunday. These are to
be followed next week by $4,000 VOL
unteers, and during the next three
weeks the president hopes to have at
least 10000 men on the island. The
volunteers may have some fighting TO
do; but it is not thought probable
The intention is to use them to hold
what is won by the regulars. After
conquering the Spaniartls in Cuba, the
presidents plans contemplate the
same line Of operations in Porto Rico,
though it is not improbable that the
Spanish Notifications around Porto
Rico may be destroyed without any
unnecessary delay.

OEE TO THE WAR.

TT may be owing to the strong proba-
L bilities of war with Spain and to the
fact that our certificates contain no restric-
tions or forfeitures on account of war or
riots, that THE CAROLINA BENEVO-
LENT ASSOCIATION has, within the
past ten days, made such wonderful
strides
One agent alone, in four days, sent in so
applications, and he remarked that he
could not have them examined fast
enough to suit the applicants, as they
wanted protection at once. This is truly
encouraging to the promoters of this
benevolent and cooperative plan of life
insurance, and it is positive proof that
the intelligent people of this section of the
state are anxious to foster a meritorious
industry. The plan is simply the neigh
bors Of the counties of which division
consists, insuring themselves at cost, with
only an additional expense of 81 per
capita to guarantee the management to be
carried on upon systematic and business
principles.
We have been in business only about
four weeks and have averaged over 100
applications a week, and have only four
or five active agents in the field. We
propose to put this equitable, cheap and
solvent plan of insurance within the reach
Of every eligible man and woman within
the circuit of the various divisions. We
have not heard an adverse criticism upon
our plan of operation worthy of note since
its introduction. We invite the most
scrupulous investigation and challenge
the world to produce more equitable,
more solvent and a cheaper plan Of life
protection. D. Z. BONEY, Manager.

Telegraphic Summary Up to
O'Clock P. NJ.
SAMPSON TAKES PORTO RICO.

By Telegraph to The Yorkville Enquirer.
ST. THOMAS, May 13.-San Juan,
Porto Rico, surrendered to Admiral
Sampson early this morning.
Admiral Sampson arrived off the en-
trance to San Juan harbor yesterday
morning at sunrise, and without delay
opened fire on Fort Moro, guarding
the harbor entrance and the batteries
protecting the town along the water
front.
The fort was soon reduced; but the
batteries were disposed of with con-
siderably more difficulty.
After silencing the guns along the
shore the feet gave its attention to
the town, and during yesterday after
noon a shell tore the roof off the
palace of Captain General Macias.
Macias continued at his post vainly
endeavoring to rally his shattered
forces but the terrible hail of metal
from the nine American warships was
more than flesh and blood could stand,
and there was nothing left but sur
render.
During the bombardment the New
York lost one killed and four wound
ed but up to this writing the Spanish
loss is unknown.
Here They Are.
Before the surrender of San Juan,
Admiral Sampson received positive
information that the Spanish fleet is at
Martinique. His information also was
that the fleet not only had full sup
ply of ammunition, but that it had
Just coaled at St. Pierre. 1t was de-
cided not to land marines; but leaving
two monitors to hold St. Juan, he
started on cruise IN the direction OF
the Spaniards. In all probability a
decisive battle will take place this af-
ternoon.
Terror and Furor.
WASHINGTON, May 13.-The war
board has received advices of the ar
rival of the Spanish torpedo boats
"Terror" and "Furor" at Fort de
France, Martinique.
Regulars In Cuba.
KEY WEST, April 13.-The trans
port Gussie which left Tampa last
Tuesday with a cargo of supplies for
the Cubans in charge of companies E
and G of the First infantry, landed at
Cabanas yesterday. A force of insur-
gents was waiting for the Gussie at
the appointed rendezvous, and large
force of Spaniards came up while the
landing was in progress. As the re-
suit of stubborn fight the Spaniards
were beaten off, and the expedition
got good start into the interior.
Off For the Philippines.
LONDON, April ia dispatch from
Madrid says it is definitely stated that
the Spanish fleet now collecting at
Cadiz is to 60 to the Philippines. Hur-
ried efforts are being made to collect
a military expedition of 10000 men,
and the fleet will convoy this army by
way Of the Suez canal.
Good if True.
The Daily News has dispatch from
its special correspondent in Havana,
saying that desperate battle occur
red yesterday with insurgents who are
massing to attack the city. The Span
iards fought bravely; but the insur-
gents refused to give back. The Span
ish loss was 900 killed and wounded.
This Is Serious.
The United States government re-
sents the unfrlendly act of France in
allowing the Spanish fleet to coal at
St. Pierre and has demanded an ex-
planalion.
