General Gomez is counting upon an uprising in the capital, and he plans an attack on the city simultaneously with this outbreak. In the meantime Gomez is covering Havana both li-oin tin* east and west, and will provei tin* exixlus of any oonsiderble body of Spanish troojis. Havana, to all intents and purposes, is in a state of
