n ne meanwhile cienfuegos is in a state OF
ssre communication by telegraph being severed
No, only with Havana, but also with Santiago.
7, Is known that Cienfueeos had not been at
Hacked NJ 70 midnight on Sunday. but no ad-
vices since that tine have been received.
An accounts say that there are easily three
thousand insurgents a few miles southeast ot
ER-r-na There are rumors MAJ they win enter
the CITY psaceably II they are not molested. but
thar they VIII fight II they meet resistance. All
visitors 10 the camps IN Havana province re-
turn with this Impression. but II Is believed no
suack WIN be made on Havana until the arrival
Of Pino Guerra's force. which now is reported 20
be from twenty 70 forty miles distant.
The general impression IS that the presence in
Havana harbor Of The American cruiser Denver
win not deter such movement, the auxiliary
cruiser Dixie having gone 70 Cienfuegos and the
cruiser Des Mones having gone presumably TO
bring 10 Cuba Secretary Taft and the Acting
Secretary Of State. Mr.. Bacon.
The announcement from Washington that
American vessels of war viii protect British as
wei as American interests is taken as applying
specially 10 Cienfueeos. where the English
owned Cuban Central Railroad has been Obliged
10 suspend operations and has suffered losses.
The Western Railroad. also a British enterprise
Is expected 70 reopen trafic tomorrow.
hkgeneraly agreed that Secretary Taft must
be the eventual arbiter aud both IN Cuban ana
toregn business circles the hope is freely ex-
pressed that not only viii the United States
settle the present strife. but that the American
srsrnment retain sufficient hold on Cuban af-
mrs 70 prevent a repetition Of the last months
