ington Mews.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 29. Secretary Gage was seen late yesterday ou his return from New York and questioned as •to the truth of the published report that he had teudored his resignation to the president and that it htul been firmly declined with many expressions of confidence and appreciation of his ability, as shown in his administration of the treasury department. Mr. Gage was not inclined to discuss the matter at length, but said that he had not tendered his resignation, nor had he any reason to believe that lie and the president were not in substantial accord on the great questions now before the country.
(The
report, he said, probably
sprung from a remark ho had made to intimate friends to the eft' -:t that not for anything would he embarrass tho president, and if he saw that lit was doing this he would resign at once.
He add'jd: "A cabinet oflieer ought always to be ready to surrender his office at tho call of his chief, the executive, but I have, not tho slightest reason to believe that such action on my part is even remotely desired bv the president. The desires of other people in that direction I am not disposed to consider.''

CITY OK MI-'XICO, Dee. 29.—A gentleman trom Cuba, who has been in Manzunilla, one of the so-eailed pacified provinces, says that in reality the war has not begun there, for the country has been abandoned to insurgents, who have built towns which are supplied with abundant provisions from the neighboring estates established by rebels, who even manufacture gunpowder and havo arms factories, tanneries and shoe factories so they can supply their troops with the most indispeiisible articles. Spanish authority is not recognized and tlie inhabitants are comfortably settled under the authority of the Cuban republic. Occasionally tho Spanish convoys pass over the highroads, bur the insurgents go out and meet them and lighting occurs on the roads, the patriots always taking the offensive. The Cuban republic, he says, is a fact, and over a considerable part of the island its authority is felt.
