TIIE WEEDS DRAWN.

The Masons to JiuiUl on the "Walker Corner.

To-.lay the comipittee which was selected to secure a location for the new Masonic Temple decided to buy fifty-eight feet, and ten inches of ground on the corner of Main and State streets, which costs $S,8oO. The purchase is eminently satisfactory to all the members. A tbree-story brick block will be erected with a basement, business rooms on the first lloor, offlces^and social rooms on the second lloor, with lodge rooms and social rooms on the third floor. It will be built to accommodate all the different Masouic orders, from the Blue Lodge to the Knight Templars. It will be heated by a furnace, o: steam, have an elevator, and in fact will have all the mode'u improvements. It will be one of the finest Masonic Temples iu the State. All liouor to the IiOdge that has the enterprise an'! members liberal ei ough to build such a home. That grand old man, Nelson Bradley, gave §1,000 as a starter.

of the JLatest Doings

TAMPA, Fla., March 2,1:—'The steamer Olivette arrived last night from Havana bringing a number of passengers from the eastern end of the island. These were able to give more authentic accounts of the Cuban insurrections than any yet received. Among them was a gentleman who has been at Mauzanillo from Jan. 8 to March 1, excepting occasional visits to tiu interior, lie states that the uprising occurred simultaneous­

ly throughout the province of Santiago, Feb. 24. Next day General Lachambro arrived at Guantanamo from Santiago with 2,000 .Spanish soldiers returning to Santiago on the 20th with apart of the same troops. His reason was unknown but it wu.s .supposed that lie feared a trap.

The chief of the re1vis around Guantanamo is Henry ^ooks. nephew' of Rich Brooks of Sant.ago, aud Guautanamo. Some state that he is insane, others think him very able, but all concede his bravery, determination and efficacy in the use of firearms. He has no Americans with him. Since the first outbreak he has been joined by Periquo Perez, a very good soldier, They have (00 men at Guantanamo In Santiago province there are (,(.00 men under arms. The opinion is tiiat should Porto Principe rise as planned, upon his departure, riiis would win a strong force of determined men, increasing the insurgents to about 1,000.

A great many ex-Spanish soldiers are with Guerra and Masso. Four miles from Mahzanilio, Guerra captured all the arms from the plantations. As a No.

rule, the plantations are unmolested. In Mauzanillo. the volunteers and citizens are constantly fearing capture. The entrances to it are guarded and 110 one is allowed to pass the gates at night. Those entering during the day are compelled to surrender their machettes.or other arms to guards. The streets are constantly patrolled at night. Some of the richer stores have erected, opposite their stands, small tarreted towers with their round bodies projecting into the streets from corners so that loopholes command the four directions on the streets. These towers are of some 1 1 inches thick, about 10 feet high and bl feet in diameter. Four have been erected in Mauzanillo, when* six old turrets of wood from the former resolution have been repaired, and several impromptu towers ot timber have been constructed.

The same work is being done at Bayamo for the protection ot property, the owners oi adjacent properties paying therefor.

Amador Guerra lias charge of tin* coast from Mauzanillo to Cape Cruz, (0 miles of Cuba's richest territory.

The. latest- reports are that the insurgent forces have withdrawn into the interior to plan an attack, it is thought, upon Santiago.

Colonel Santocilda arrived at Mauzanillo from Santiago and is in command of the M.anzanillo section of Spanish troops as Masso is of the Cuban forces. Santocilda was in command of 100 soldiers, who after a fight at Baire, started for Mauzanillo. When passing Bayamo aud about live miles distant, he was uinbushed by ilearlv400 in.snrn'enf.a

a total loss. Thi« assertion was ra.ad.tt

in person by Sautooilda- to a passenger*interviewed. This conflict was the one seen freer the housetops of Bayamo, and occurred, about March 10. At elm battle of Los Negros lie government reports they rle-»-foatod the insurgents. This is nets scy as the battle was an even draw. Another encounter at Vigueto. 18 miles from Mauzanillo, confirms previous re ports. On Friday, March 15, the Spanish troops attempted to regain possession of Vara, now in the hands of is-» surgenfs, but were forced to withdraw after aspirited siege, losses umiieii.— tioned around Canto river section.

The whole country is under the swayr ol rebel influence. Bauds of these axsr marchiug towards Lasunas de Victoria: and Puerto Principi, growing stronger as they march. A strong band of insurgents are on the northern coast, clailyr expecting an expedition from the Uiuteol Si.itcs. They are to assist- in the diserc bar.kati.on of such an expedition tbj-T moment of its arrival. .j The insui*reotio!j movement does now appear to be received with favor by? people in tile fields who are moving in the cities. All Kinds of work is sus pended. The cutting of high grade* timber has slopped from the fact thc^l numbers of ihe cutters are with the '.n surgen' s, and others dare not enter the forests for such purposes.
