which comprehcnded Il simultaneous
advance into the territory occupied by

Gen. Montegueado now depends

in the vicinity of Guantanamo city,

Secretary Sanguilly expressed the
opinion that the crisis was most
grave, but that he had full confidence
that the government was supported
loyalty by the mass of the Cuban peo-

to crush the insurrection.
