twenty-five hundred insurgents from Santa
Clara and Puerto Principe have invaded the
province Of Havana In several bands. They
come here under tho instructions of Gen.
Gomez, who sent them to reinforce the Cuban
army of Con. Alejando Rodriguez, in view of
tho strong efforts now making by the Spanish
to suppress tho revolution in Havana. With
these reinforcements tho patriots have shown
great activity. especially around Jaruco. where
Brig. Gen. Nestor Aranguren Is now operating.

town in that province.
The town Of Cano. raidcd yesterday by the In
surgents. Is within sight Of Havana. While tho
AutoHomist Cabinet began Its functions to-day
under the now regime and the whole city is in
an uproar over tho quarrels between the
Ausonomists and Conservatives and the threats
of tho latter to create serious trouble. the
patriots fire on the suburbs of the capital every
day and the horizon Is red with the flames OF the
canefelds burned by them. .....

abettors OF the revolution. Many Autonomists,
on the other hand, are very much disguised
