Insurgents Do Not Want Independence

but Desire a Government Under the Pro

tection of the United States—The Situa

tion of Affairs Becoming Very Grave.

NKW YORK, Aug. 13.—Special correspondence of The World at Havana, Guba, says: General Campos has resigned the captain generalship of Cuba. It is generally believed that lie strongly urges the home government to grant the island of Guba self-government.

The steamer Senecka, of the Ward line, which arrived here from Guba yesterclay, brought so vera 1 Cuban passengers. One gentleman from Havana, who would not permit the use of Ins name, asserted that the insurrection is more formidable than is generally believed. The rebels, he said, desire to establish a government under the protection ot a strong power, the United iStates preferred.

They are not anxious for independence because negroes form a majority of the inhaoinmts of the island and would dominate the government. Therefore the rebels are delaying the capture ot important seaport towns which the gentleman from Havana says they could easily accomplish because tneir plans for the future are not yet matured. To secure possession ot cities would mean recognition as belli,wrenrs c.o the rebels, and as they are not yet ready for such recognition they wilt continue their present methods oi making war lor a rime.

The Havana man asserts that there lire 800,000 sympathizers with the revolution Havana, 5^,U00 revolutionists ate in the held and that the Spanish have lost lo,000 men more than uiey, two-thirds ot the number dying from disease. Campos, he says, can not hold out long.

Another passenger on the steamer was be nor liicardo Camber a, a wealthy sugar planter of Cientuegos. He declined to discuss the revolution on the ground that he might injure his business and jeopardize his interests by making statements that would be partisan either way. He admitted, however, that he had heard that yellow tever was decimating the Spanish forces and that the insurgents were not affected by it.
