1000. He said the insurgents had
plenty of ammunition and every ne
cessity.
All tobacco plantations owned by

lately received supplies from unknown
sources. He declared that fully 100
rural guards deserted the insurrection-
lists.

General Jose Miguel Gomez, at a
formal arraignment yesterday, denied
that he had engaged in conspiracy
against the government
Aside from slight encounters in the
provinces of havana and Santa Clara,
nothing important developed there
yesterday. The enlistment of rural
guards is going on slowly in the prov

better. The city council yesterday

city militia.

troops arrived here from Pinar del
Rio, but the news of their coming
preceded them by several hours and

left, taking all the horses they could
gather The town is quiet.
Guerra has probably 1000 men and
is well supplied with money. His

purpose of occupying Guanes, which
is already in the possession of the
resident insurgents, but is to effect a
junction with several hundred insur-
gents coming from the vicinity OF
Guanes.

1t is admitted that the majority OF
the insurgents are liberals but it is
claimed that there are also moder.
ateS and Nunestas among them. The
liberals, he said. have always been Oh.
posed to arms and don't countenance
the present method of protest against

Sympathize With Insurgents.
Havana, Aug. 25.-Reports from the
country districts say the people gen.
orally are distrustful of the motive of
President Palma's government and
sympathize with the insurgents. In
cities there is more approach to gen.

slow response. Many are interested
as onlookers, but the genuine desire
