 Nansen has left Saguay bound for Hal flax She has on board 21 ,OOO bales of lear tobacco and carried 12O passen- gers.
 Ihe weather has improved and the ralhs insure crops of grain. A detach- ment or spanish troops has captured at the farm Flora Yatabo, in Matanzas province, the we'll known insurgent leader, Augustin Cervantes, and the captive is now imprisoned in San Se- verine castle. Cervantes came to Gu
 pa at the breaking out of the revolu- ton With an expedition from the United
 states, Lieutenant Pekhrisraff, of the
 Russian navy, accredited to General
 Bianco's staff to watch the war opera
 tions, has paid visit to Cardenas,
 where he was given a dinner by the
 commanders of the Spanish gunboats
 Antonio Lopez, Alerta and Lygeria,
 and several army officers.
 Advices from Santiago report that
 the insurgent general, Calixto Garcia,
 having become disgusted with the Americans, has left for Porto Principe
 to present complaint to the so-called
 >ubti e5ONcIIulGul. NGHGrdl NIdECld, IL
 is said, is willing to dismiss his sepa-
 ratists, The civil elements have met to
 protest the orders given by the eonl-
 mander of the American troops Senor
 Castillo will take the protest to Wash ington. La Lucia commenting on the
 above says: we do not know what effect the protest will produce on Pres ident Mckinley and his cabinet, but we hope it will not prejudice the general who gave the orders. because it cannot
 be supposed that President Mckinley will try to weaken the moral strength
 of the army chief at the beginning of
 the campaign nor even indirectly the
 military authority needful to all chiefs to whom are entrusted the wars direc- tion and who can better than any one else appreciate the necessary disposi- tion and measures to be dictated"
 La Luchia adds: If Senor Castillo is obliged to return after delivering the
 protest without obtaining what he was
 expected to gain by, those who protest ed as it is believed will happen on ac- count of the arguments advanced and | the inopportuneness of the protest of Senor Castillo and others, the situation will be little thought of by the chief of the army and will demonstrate the inn patience of the Cuban insurgents who
 are not satisfied with the plans of a
 government which is accustomed to ! proceed with mathematical calcula- tions, the same privately as in public l life" La Luchia further says: "One l must be crazy to believe that a regular army sent by one country to another to aid a revolution against government l legitimately constituted is to be mere auxiliary to force of eight or ten thousand armed citizens who are not | recognized by the country that lends | it's aid even as simple regular war ele-
 ments, and which has been denied as many times as it was asked to be rec osnized as belligerent The United States has always declared that the Cu-
 ban rebels had right to ask their in- | dependence but it is no use to think
 that powerful and strong country which decides to dispute with it's sea and land forces the sovereignty and l possession of territory of another coun- | try to which the territory by proper right belongs, would come to Cuba to | subordinate it's army and general to | the chief or the regular forces without
 military organization"
 The free kitchens established in Ha-
 vana for the purpose of feeding the poor of the city, have increased in
 number to twelve and now daily dis | tribute to from five to fifteen hundred rations. A detachment of local gueril- | las while returning from Guaracebbella
 were surprised by number of rebel
 bands and fierce combat ensued The ] spanish forces lost eighteen killed and
 eighteen wounded. The insurgents also
 suffered severe losses.
