Havana, June General Estenoz,
the real leader of the Negro lnsur-
gents. has captured and burned the
town of La Maya on the branch line
Of the Cuba Railroad, 80 miles from
Santiago. The government gave out
this information, tonight.
A column OF regulars, commanded
by Major Sanguily. had occupied La
Maya for the last two days, but sailed
forth, last evening, in search Of Insur-
gents. Hardly had the regulars left,
when l1stenoz with 500 men, attacked
the handful of Rurals. Citizens armed
themselves and attempted to oppose
the Insurgents but We're compelled to
retreat, losing several wounded. Es
tenor then entered the town, which he
burned and sacked.
The flames We're seen by Maj. San
quily's command. which FASTENED
back, but found the town destroyed.
The Insurgents retired into the hills.
La Maya was a small place, composed
of about 10 houses, the inhabitants
of which were mostly Negroes.
Encounters between the regulars
and the rebels are reported to have
taken place near Daiquiri and at
other places without decisive results.
The general forward movement of the
Cuban troops apparently is still de-
ferred. pending completion of the dis
position of the troops ordered by Gen.
Monteagudo.
Reports from the scene of hostilities
say that the rebel leaders continue
to exact contributions of arms and
money from the property owners who
are mostly foreigners. under threat of
applying the torch. The government
is making strong efforts TO supply
plantation guards, but seemingly lacks
sufficient men to do SO without de-
pleting the ranks of the troops in ac-
tive service.
Gen. Monteagudo in a statement to
the government, SAYS that he has had
no losses up to the present. This is
due to the tactics of the rebels who
continue to decline combat, firing a
few long range shots on the approach
of the troops and then rapidly retir-
ing into the Businesses Of the hills
Gen. Monteagudo says in a very short
time he expects to deliver crushing
blow, and adds that he does not need
further reinforcements,
