They Are Carrying on a

REFUSE TOABIDE BYIsSUE
Report That They Contemplate
Making Attack on Havana
STARS AND STRIPES AT HAWAII.

Havana, Aug. 23.-The civil governor
Of Havana received a telegram from the
mayor Of Nueva Paz. stating that a
Havana paper had published Q letter
from q correspondent In which II was
asserted that the insurgents had COM
mitted outrages OF various kinds. This
the mayor declared to be absolutely
false. The paper then sent a special
correspondent to investigate the matter.
and he confirms the story of the out
RACES, and reports many crimes COM
mitted by the cubans.
Considerable excitement and discon-
tent exist among the insurgent SYM
pathixers. who condemn strongly ell the
acts Of the colonial government: and
many OF these sympathizers are leaving
the cities and towns to Join the insur-
gents. During the past few days hun
dreds OF uniforms have been sent to the
insurgents from Havana. The insur-
gent general. Mario Menooal, is at Ra
Janla, near Lugan, about two leagues
distant from Havana, where he relieved
General Rodriguez. 1t Is reported that
Rodriguez ts camped between Guines
and San Nicolas with 1000 men.
An immense majority OF the Spanish
conservatives In the island and the
natives favor the annexation of the ISL
and to the United States, which they
consider the only means OF securing q
stable government In Cuba. Even the
most ardent Spanish residents now favor
annexation.
Reports from Cardenas say that q
party Of 6paniards recently captured
near that city four men who were carry
Ing ammunition and provisions to the
camp OF the insurgents. 1t Is reported
that the insurgent forces from the
provinces OF Pinar Del Rio and Matanxas
are uniting in Havana province, pur-
posing to make triumphsl entry into
Havana city.
The situation at Havana remains the
same as during the blockade. Provis-
Ions and other necessaries Of life are
scarce and prices continue high. The
colonial government imposed the high
est customs duties, which continue in
force. making prices high and rendering
the situation of the poor very painful.
The free Kitchens. which have been es-
tablished In Havana. daily furnish about
10000 persons with food. but owing to
the great number OF poor in the city who
are without food OF any sort the amount
Of supplies handled by these kitchens is
quite tnsuhlcient to relieve the distress
10 any great extent. Women and chill
dren lie about the streets. pale ana
emactated and looking more like corpses
than living beings.

establishment and IL for the diplomatic
