THEIR FIGHT FOR FREEDOM.
Cuba's Insurrection Increasing: in Im
portance Every Day.
INSURGENTS HOLD THEIR INTERIOR
And Have Succeeded in Cutting Sown the
Revenue of the Spanish Government
From Cuban Sources About
Eighty Per Cent.
Havana, .Inn. 15. Kxcittng nows from
tho front wns received yesterday in nshnpo
which prevented Its accuracy from bjing
denied. Tho sound of continued artillery
tiring was heard south of Hlncou, not far
from lloj ucal, tho town that wns attacked
by tho Insurgents on Monday with tho re
sult that, according to tho olllclnl state
ment of tiio affair, tiioy were forced to re
treat after a llorco reslstnnco on tho part
of the government foreos, tho battlo lust
ing, It Is claimed, llvu hours. But It Is ad
mitted that tho Insurgents plundered
stores in tho outlying district of Uojucal,
burned a number of houses and destroyed
tho railroad depot by llro.
Previous to this tiioy had burnod tho
town of Snlud, quite fi good sized place,
nd partly destroyed Qulvicau, a smaller
place. They varied tlloso operations wltli
burning freight trains and destroying rail
road engines as they pushed northwurd
and towards Havana.
This force of Insurgents is tho ono sup
posed to bo commanded by Gomez in per
son, although it has boon insisted that Ho
Is still In tho provlnco of Plnnr del Hlo.
nnd that ho was In conflict with Spanish
troops commanded by Gonoral Linares. It
Is bcllovcd that an Important engagement
is taking place, and further continuation
is anxiously oxpectod.
Conllrmatlou has been received of tho
report from tho eastern provinces that tho
Insurgent lenders Itabl.Jose Maceo.Chongo
Illvero nnd others, at tho head of strong
forces from tho province of Puerto
Principe, believed to bo much better armed
than any previous forces, and to have been
reinforced by filibustering expeditions,
containing numbers of Americans, are
moving eastward, nppnrcntly with tho in
tontion of reinforcing the lnsurgonts now
oporatiug In tho neighborhood ot Havana.
Those tusurgont forces are said to havo
moved Into tho Homodloi district.
The prcsenco of tills additional forco of
insurgents, moving througli tho province
of Sunta Clara and in the direction of tho
provlnco of Matanzas, will naturally pro
vent tho Spanish oommanders from send
ing Into tho Havana district all tho troops
thoy lntondod to draw from Santa Clara
and Matanzas with tho intention of driv
ing tho lnsurgonts now In this vicinity
into tho provlnco of Pluar del Itlo west
ward until thoy were nil placed in a po
sition where thoy could bo either extermi
nated or forced to surrender.
Tho captain general has boon forced to
meet this movo by sending back towards
Santa Clara several columns of troops
which wore on thoir way through tho
province of Matanzas toreluforco his foroos
In this vicinity. Tho insurgents, it is bo-
llovcd, will thus bo ablo to continue for
soino time longer thoir almost unchcoked
operations, and If tho Spanish generals
nro not ablo to prevent a junction oi nil
tho Insurgent forces now In this vicinity
tho situation will becomo more critical.
Estimating that tho Insurgents now
have about 15,000 men, more or less woll
armed, in this vicinity, and that thoy are
reinforced by say 10,000 more well armed
men from tho eastward, Gomoz will,
friends of his causo say, hnvo undor his
command qulto a fair slzod army, nnd
should bo ablo, all things fairly favorable,
to tako tho otTonslvo oven against a strong
force of Spanish troops defending Ha
vana. Hut these are views taken by tho
friends of tho lnsurgonts, and nro dirootly
at variance with thoso of tho Spanish of
ficials, who olalm that tho second Cuban
army, advancing from tho east under Itnbl
and Joso Maooo, does not number and
will never number 5,000 mon.
In any caso It doos not seem posslblo to
deny that tho insurrection Is Increasing in
lmportauco every day. Practically the
whole interior of the island, from oast to
west, with tho oxoeption of tho largo
towns, Is. in possession of tho lnsurgonts,
who havo burned ovcrythlug combustlblo
nnd have lovied tribute right and loft,
under tho very noses of the Spanish com
manders, nnd cutting down tho revonuo
of tho Snaulsh government from Cuban
sources nbout 80 porcont., according to tho
insurgents' ostlmntes. unucr tneso condt
tlons it Is not astonishing that. some
chungo In tho commnndershlp of tho Span
lsh forces Is expocted dally. Kvcn tho most
Intimate friends of General Campos do
not claim that ho has boon halt successful
In his operations.
Tho insurgent cavalry Is vastly superior,
both in number ami quality, to thnt of tho
Spaniards, and tho military exports ns
sert that tho Importation of 3,000 or 4,000
Spanish cavalry Iroin Spain will lu no
way affect tho situation, as tho Spanish
horses cannot stand the climnto. The
weak point of tho Cuban army is Its ar
tillery, but thoy liopo shortly to bo able to
mako a very much better showing In that
respect, as thoy expect suppllos of. rapid
llro guns, indeed rrlonus ot tho insurg
ents hero assert that qulto number of
rapid fire guns recently cumo Into tho pos
session of General Gomez, and thoy were
landed not very fur from Havana at that.
It is announced that on bunday last the
Spaniards mado an important capture in
the person of Joso L'epero, tho second in
command of the Cuban column com
manded by General Rogo. Cepero was on
his way from Cionfuegos, in the provlnco
ot Santa Clara, to llutabano, tho port
south of Havana, with Important com
munications from tho Santa Clara Insur
gents to Gomuz and Maceo. Tho insur
gent leader was traveling on tho Spanish
steamship Gloria under tho namo of Lo
renzo Dupuy, and had papers upon him in
that name to show that he wns an Ameri
can citizen traveling In Cuba on business.

Washington, .Tun. 15. Tho bond silver
bill was further considered In tho seuuto
yesterday, but without appreciable up
pninch to n conclusion of tho debate Mr.
Uutlcr, of North Cnrollnn, spoko for 'two
Sr
of tho session brought out an extended con- i
troversy over pension discriminations.
Mr. Lodgo sought to pass to bill grant
ing a pension of $T5 per mouth to tho I
widow of General Cogswell, t''.t lie. Allen I
loda vigorous opposlllou, cl, inning that
tho widows otgcneinls e e h i unduly
preferred over tho widows ot the prhnto
soldiers. Tin- hul was Ua.ilh- p.i.ii-il. .Mr. I
Mills offered a n. sot. i' on -n".m .-siuo,
bonds; favoring the spoedy extincuoii of
tho national debt, and for tho coinage of
tho silver bullion in thn treasury.
Tho house spent tiio day In further do
nate on tho pension appropriation bill,
l'ho speakers with a single exception were
nil Republicans, and all favored a liberal
administration of tho pension laws and
tho adoption of thochangesto existing law
proposed by tho hill. Among tho speakers
was General John A. Walker, who served
in tho Confederate army. lie is tho only
Republican representative from Virginia.
Mr. Cummlngs, of New York, created a
mild sensation by a severe arraignment ot
tho pension ofllco for Inutility to the old
soldier.

QUAY FORCES WIN.
Interefctluc Fight for Tarty Control Among
I'lillailelphla ICepnbllcnna.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 15. The Republi
can primary eloctlon was held last night,
and was ono of tho most blttor political
contests that lias been fought In this city
for a number of years. The adherents of
benntor Quay, under tho lcadershio of Sen
ator Penrose and ex-Magistrate Durham,
opposed Mayor Warwick, Stuto Senator
Porter and David Martin, and tho fight
was principally for tho control of tho now
city committee nnd for representatives to
the state convention that will namo tho
Pennsylvania delegation to tho national
convention.
Tho returns are slow in coming in, and
this morning both sides claim to have
won. The vote Is undoubtedly vory closo,
nnd present Indications are that tho Quay
forces havo won.
The fight wns most bitterly contested In
Mayor Warwick's ward, the Fifteenth,
and rosultod in that official losing. Both
tho Twenty-eighth and Thirty-second
warns were lose By Senator Porter.
The greatest Interest was manifested by
citizens In the olectlon, and an unusually
heavy voto for a primary election was
polled. A number of disturbances were
reported from various parts of tho city,
but nono are bolloved to huve resulted
seriously.

the Citizens Party Will bo
Mode on the 2 1th Inst.
I hi-1. ite upon which tho Citizens party
v i .ts primaries is les limn ten days
ilv.li', ii, mil the interest manifested in it in
most quarters is comparatively tamo. It is
no more quiet than affairs on tho Demo
crats side of the house, however, and con
sitlerabht sawing of wood In silenco may be
gulug on in the ranks of both parties.
To anyono who has given tho situation any
thought it must appear that the quietude on
the part of tho Citizens party Is in a great
nieusti lo born of apathy and on tho Demo
cratic sldo it is part of a scheme to surprise
and storm. Tho latter party is well organized,
armed with tho "sinews of war," and so
much on the alert that it Is Improbable that
anything which may occur will provo a sur
prise to it. 1 lie Democrats have scented
every dlsatlectioii in the Citizens party
througli l.uthlul and able eniissirios and by
the shrewdest of methods have irritated old
sores and tried to create animosity where the
party has appeared united. It will bo their
endeavor this spring to cause tiio Citizens to
slow each other. Every question in Council
manic and School Hoard affairs on which tho
Citizens may havo been divided in opinion,
no matter how slightly, will bo resurrected,
magnified and distorted in tho hope that dis
content may bo stirred upand, if possible, the
lights at the Citizens primaries may be so hot
that tho defeated ones will forget fealty to
party and self interest to such an extent as to
bo blindly led into "independent" move
ments and possibly placo Citizens strongholds
within reach of tho Democratic party.
Tills is one of the reasons why tho Demo
crats aro so hopeful. Some of them havo
Intentionally allowed slips of the tongue, in
furtherance of their scheme, to lead people to
be iovo that thero are Internal disturbances
in their ranks. There aro no such disturb
ances this year. The Democrats aro within
springing distance of many of tho places in
winch the Citizens consider themselves
secure, and unless tho latter stir themselves
thoy will be out-generalled at many im
portant points at tho Spring election.
Contraiy to expectations the Democrats
have decided to hold their primaries before
tho Citizens primaries tills year. This was
decided ativ meeting hold last night and will
bo very satisfactory to the Citizens, who havo
been complaining that the Democrats have
always managed to hold their primaries last.
Oilici.il notice has been given by 11. J. Mul
doon, chairman, and Justice Jere. Toomey,
secretary of tho Standing Committee, that tho
DcmocRitic primaries will be held on Tues
day evening, 21st inst., and theconfciees will
meet to nominate the boiough ticket on
Thursday evening, SSJrd inst.
