to pilot me to where he had left Lee. On
reaching that point after a narrow escape
in getting through the line of battle we
found only Gen. Gordon and Gen. Long

out with the request for a suspension
of hostilities, and had left them in COM

message exactly as 1t had been Worded
by Gen. Custer for Lee. They were each
only too glad to authorize me to say it,
and begged me to do so quickly, first to
the infantry line of battle, from which
we were then in danger Of being shot.
Both generals then and there assured
me that the surrender was in good faith.

THE result in Ohio mas settled the

MEN DEFENDING THE "BIc
DITCH" MAY BE ASKED TO
FIGHT IN CUBA.
TO PROTEST THE FOREIGNERS
PRESENCE OF ARMED FORCES
MIGHT KEEP INsuRREcTos
FROM TAKING PROPERTY.

Washington, May 22.-The serious
negro revolution in Cuba has caused
the state department to consider
sending warship to the eastern END
of the island in addition to the small
naval force now there, embodied in
the little gunboat Paducah and the
survey boat Eagle.
1t is also possible that the naval
station at Guantanamo will receive a
considerable addition to its garrison
of marines who may be withdrawn
from the Panama canal zone for the
time being. The strengthening of
the American naval force in this way
would not necessarily indicate a pur
pose on the part of the administra-
tion again to intervene in Cuba, but,
1t Is believed, would have a saIutary
effect on the insurrectos and make
them hesitate to begin reckless de
struction Of foreign property.

the rebel and federal Mexican armies
apparently we're maneuvering eau
tiously for positions today. Except
for an occasional exchange Of shots
between outposts, the fighting was
not severe.
The federals apparently are not ad-
vancing today but the two Mexican
armies are lying close to each other.
The delay of the federals today gave
the rebels an opportunity to strength
en- their positions and it became ap
parent that they did not intend to re-
treat further north than Rellano be-
fore making a determined stand.

of the skirmish' yesterday near AS

The federal troops found fifteen
dead on the field where the federal
artillery fired on the retreating reb-

covered some important documents.
The rebels occupy the same position
today as they did two months ago

today he had not received any fur
ther details in regard to the insurrec-
tionary movement in the vicinity of
Holuin, SO hfries northwest of San
tiago, where a detachment of rural
guards had encountered and dis
persed a strong band of negroes of
whom they killed two.
The situation in the province Of or

said, but the government is confident
that it win promptly restore order az

to lack Importance. The insurrectory
bands are few and small and hitherto
not much damage has been reported.
