Cuba several months ago on account
otalleged affiliation with the insur
gents, has reached this -lty from
Texas, where he has been engaged
in church work. While in New Or
leans he met several Cubans who
gave him interesting accounts of
what is going on in the island. These
Cubans had come over from Havana
on the steamer Arkansas and were
going' to make the Crescent City
their home. They have been per
mitted to leave the island because of
the fact that" they were taking no
part in the war. - , f, - .5 v '

been fired when the Spanish soldiers
were on it only a day or two ago.
did not get the exact date, butat the
time his men were entrapped and
led on to the ground, General Wey

"This mine was set between the
Bubi and the Cayajabo mountains by
