THE CUBAN REVOLUTION.


Havana. Cuba, Aug. 90. "A crisis in
the revolutionary movement is expect
ed at Pinar del Rio within the next forty
eight hours.
The rebels, numbering probably 900
men, ARE concentrating on the city, hoping
to capture it and make the city their
headquarters. The government, on the
other hand, is hurrying reintorcements
there with sll possible speed That a
conflict is imminent is generally admit
ted. The threatened cabinet crisis has
added TO the burdens Of the government
Jealonsies among the cabinet members
have caused friction and the retirement
of several of the ministers is expected
Every effort is being made to patch up
the differences, however, ind the gov
eminent authorities refuse to admit
there has been any trouble in the cabinet.
The greatest danger to the government
is threatened at Pinar del Rio. Pinar
Guerrero is csmped within three miles
of the city and may march upon the
place at any moment. Revolutionists
boosted that the city would be taken last
night. but no report has been received
of any movement against the town.
The position of the government is
growing more serious all the time. II is
generally admitted that President Palma
must act quickly in crushing the revo-
luton, or the insurgents will be able to
entrench themselves too strongly in the
mountains OF Pnar del Rio province
for the government forces To rout them.
To add to the troubles OF the govern
ment, uprisings and iusurgent bands are
reported in Havana, MatanEas and Santa
CLARA provinces. The dissatisfaction
with the government is widespread, and
recruits are focking TO the rebel leaders.
Havana, Aug. 22.-The rebels are
reported tn have scored their FIRST vic
tory shortly before daylight this morn
ing when force under Pine Guerrero
attacked the government outposts at
Pinar del Rio and drove them back to-
ward the city. The insurgents did not
follow up their advantage, as they are
reported to be awaiting reinforcements,
but concentrated attack on the small
force of loyal troops at Pinsr del Rio is
expected at any bonr. Aid is being
rushed lhe goge3nmelt iorIes from Hs-
vana.
The men who are now leading the
revOlutionists are the men who led the
Cnbans against Spain.
With Gaerrera's band is ex Governor
Luis Perez, of Pinar del Flo province,
aud Catholic priest, Rev Juan Marri-
nee. who has great influence with Gueg-
rera's followers The presence Of these
men in the rebel camp is drawing men
throughout the province TO Guerrera'S
standard.
The revolutionists are we'll armed and
they are supplied with dynamite. Sew
enty men working on the government
road at Pazo Real Joined he insurreclion
yesterday and TOOK with ihpm a quantity
OF dynamite and fuses. What use the
rebels will make of the explosive re-
mains to be seen,
