reported to have scored their first VIC
tory shortly before daylight this morn
ing when General Guerri attacked the

low their advantages and are reported

ment Is expected within the next forty
eight hours. The rebels number prob
ably 1900 men and are concentrating
about the city of HipounR 70 capture
IL and make It their headquarters. The
government, on the other hand, is hur-
rying reinforcements through with all
possible dispatch. That a conflict Is
bound TO take place is generally admit
ted. That the little republic will be
able 20 raise an army Of 100000 men
seems possible.
The men who are now leading the
revolutionists are those who led the
Cubans themselves during their strug-
gle for freedom in their old strong
holds. That they will make an at
tempt TO seize Pinar Del Rio is cer-
tain. The city is being garrisoned.
