VICTORIES FOR CUBANS.

Captured Two Towns.
Tho most serious new ot ppnnlah disasters
received lnco the out break of the rebellion
has reached Havana. The garrison ot two
town bnve surrendered, and the place them
selves bnvo been burned by Maximo Gomez.
Owing to the restrictions plaecd by tho
government upon the transmission ot tele
graphic: new concerning the In-urrcctlon,
only the most meager details ot tit" dl-ter
to the fipnmsli arms are obtainable. It ap-
I ear certain, however, that the gnrrison at
:i Mulnto. In the province ot J'uert" I'rlnclpe
near the city ol I'urto rrlnclpe, has surrend
ered to Maximo t.itinez. 'the gnrrison con
sisted ot 25 Spanish soldier under Lieuten
ant liomcro, and they were 'pinrtored In a
guano bouse, fortllled with palisndes and
and pierced with loophole for rules, lhe
place wo also provisioned, and contained
considerable ammunition. Duriucthe unex
plained alisenee ot l.leutnnnut flomoro the
garrison was surrounded by 1.000 insurgents
under the command of Maximo Gomez. The
Intter sent a messenger to the garrison ot El
Mulnto, announcing that he gave tbe soldier
15 minutes In which to surrender, with the
alternative of being llred upon by the full
Insurgent force It they refused to do o,
1 ho soldier were willing to light, and were
about to do so, when Lieutenant itomero
nrrlcd nt the fort, and hi .presence being
made known to Maximo Gomez, the latter
sent him a second note saying the Insurgents
bnd no desire to shed blood unnecessarily,
and therefore the lieutenant wa given live
minute more in which to surrender the fort
nnd its contents to the Insurgents. There
upon the lieutenant surrendered the garri
son against the desire ot hi soldiers, who
who were grently ludlgnaut at being com
pelled to capitulate without llrlng a shot.
When the gnrrison wns in the hands ot the
Insurgents. Mnxlmo Gomez ordered the vil
lage ol El Mulato to be burned, and after de-
Lriviug Lieutenant Itumero of bis arms, set
Im at liberty.
The lieuteunnt wns afterward arrested by
the authorities ol Puerto Principe, nnd It I
thought probable that he will be promptly
tried by court-martial and shot, like lieu
tenant t alleja. who commiindeil n garrison
which was surprise, 1 in n similar manner
w hile the lieutenant III command was away.
In addition, tho town of Hnngeronlmo,

pksce. It wns attacked by the insurgents un
der Maximo Gomez, nnd wns burned to the
ground nfter Its garrison of about 5o men had
surrendered. Iu this case, however, it is
stated that the soldiers succeeded in saving a
great part of the stores of ammunition before
the fort ot Hnngeronlmo was captnred by the
enemy.
