ARE NOT RETREATING

Cuban Insurgents Are in Close Proximity to Havana.

SEVERAL SKIRMISHES REPORTED

Considerable Damage Done at Various

Points in Matanzas—Nothing Authentic

abouts of General Gomez and His Forces.

Latest Keports From Cuban War.

HAVANA, Dec. 30.—In spite of the reports received here that the main body of the insurgents had retreated from the province of Matanzas and were once more in Santa Clara, reports continue to come in of damage done at various points in Matanzas and of threatening movements of bodies of insurgents. Whether these are wandering and isolated bands can not be estimated accurately. An engagement with an insurgent band is also reported from the province of Pinar Bel Rio, the westernmost on the island.

Uneasiness is also caused in official circles by reports that come from the province of Santiago de Cuba, the Oriental province. The report of Jose Maceo's fligM seems to have been without foundation, as there are renewed evidences of his activity in that province and the troops stationed there are linding abundant occupation. The Spanish authorities have reason to suspect that a movement is contemplated in the Oriental province to bring about a junction of the insurgent bands there, and troops are actively engaged in trying to prevent the com lug together of Jose Maceo and Rabi, whose combined forces would afford means for a formidable movement that would effect a diversion and prevent the withdrawal of Spanish troops to reinforce those acting against Gomez, Antonio Maceo and Bandera in Matanzas and Santa Claia provinces.

Nothing is known of the immediate whereabouts and doings of Gomez and his forces who were said to be threatening Cienfuegos. Nothing has been heard from tnere though several skirmishes are s^*vVf ]-ye qecv

The insurgents seem to be s^r1 considerable force in the neighbors?®" of Cardenas and Cimarrones. The banu?. Pancho and Perez, who were said to be retreating, burned the station at Murga and destroyed several houses at La Gunillas. They also plundered the stores at Contreras.

The bafid.s of Lacret and lioloif were Saturday evening discovered to be moving in the immediate vicinity of Cardenas, just east of Matanzas and the news created a great ileal of excitement at that place, as it was suspected that an attempt was about to be made to capture the town in pursuance of the earnest desire of the insurgents to hold a seaport. The garrison was called to quarters in hot haste and waited long in expectation of an attack, while the volunteer forces of the business men of the place were also put under arms, manifesting enthusiasm in the service. The band of Robau wTas also reported to be moving upon Cimarrones.

The authorities here continue to claim with jubilation that the insurgents are powerless to effect the capture of any towns or seaports.

The skirmish in Pinar Del Rio occurred in the district of Gushajah, the city of that name, capital of the district, being about 20 miles southwest of Havana. A column of troops attacked a band led by the famous insurgent bandit leader, Perico Delgado, who is said to have been seriously wounded, one of his men being killed and three taken prisoners.

An expedition numbering 18 men, led by a brother of the leader, Maya Rodriguez, has landed at Estero Junio, province of Puerto Principe.

The guerrilla chief, Lolo Benitez, surprised a band of 20 in the district of Manzanillo, province of Santiago de Cuba, among them being several insurgent leaders, who were celebrating Christmas night, and four of them were killed and,three taken prisoners.

As Told by Steamer Passengers. TAMPA,

Fla., Dec.

30.—Passengers

riving from Cuba last night report active operations around the fortifications in Havana commanding the harbor entrance. Passengers saw four immense 80-ton improved guns, with many smaller ones, which are soon to be placed in position on the railroad from Havana to San Antonio. Explorers, or freight trains, precede all passenger trains. It is very difficult to man these bomb-hunting freight trains.

General Oalaxto Garcia arrived from New York last night.

It is the purpose of the united organization to press the campaign of education on behalf of bimetallism with the utmost vigor in all parts of the country.

A conference of pronounced silver men will be held at Washington on the 22d of January, when a plan of action will be outlined which it is said will have an important bearing upon the political events of next year.

ENJOIN TRUNK LINES.

District Attorney of New York Will Proceed Against Joint Traffic Association.

NEW YORK, Dec. 30.—District Attorney MacFarlane said that as soon as he had familiarized himself with the case he would begin civil proceedings, under Section 16 of the interstate commerce act, to enjoin the trunk lines and their western connections from putting into effect, on Jan. 1, the ,rr -lit under which the Joint Traffic iutiou was formed. This action will be taken in response to the request made by the interstate commerce commission that Attorney General Harmon should order such proceedings.

The presidents of the railroads say that they do not object to having the legality of their contract passed upon by the courts and that they will not attempt to disobey the law if the courts should find against them. They say, however, that they have little fear of the result since the agreement was submitted to some of the leading lawyers of the country and by them declared legal before it was signed.

Found a Place to Fight.

LYONS, N. Y., Dec. 30.—A fight for a purse raised by sporting men in western New York will occur tonight between Billy Woods of Denver and Thomas Brennan, "the Omaha Kid." The battle, which will be to a finish, London prize ring rules governing, will, it is said, be fought within 10 miles of Lyons, at a point where Wayne county is met by Ontario and Seneca counties. This place is chosen by the promoters of the affair because no interference by officials is anticipated* The ring will, it is understood, Tie pitched so as to be partly in each of the three counties, thus necessitating concerted action by the sheriffs.
