Havana. Jan. 7. —The stations of the

Guinos, in this province, have been de
stroyed by the rebels. The insurgents
then murehed on the town of San
Felipe, at the junction of the Batabano
and Villanueva railroads. The mayor
of the town was warned of their ap
proach and gathered two hundred men
with whom he intended to defend the
town. Maximo Gomez, the insurgent
leader, sent word to the mayor that if
the insurgents were fired upon lie
wcm!., burn the town to the ground.
The Inhabitants begged the mayor to
make no resistance as tlicy did not
want to lose their property, and the
mayor acceded to their wishes and no
tified Gomez that no defense of the
town would be made. The latter, at
the head of 4,0U0 men, then entered
San Felipe. No damage was done to
property. In the zona of Quivicah,

'i o Surround the Insurgents.
Havana, Jan. 7.—The troops that
have been ordered to proceed cast from
the province of Santa Clara in order to
join the forces in the provinces of
Havana and Pinar del Rio are arriv
ing at Da tuba no, the southern termi
nus of the Havana and But aba no rail
road, whence they can be quickly
transferred to Havana or points in
Pinar del Rio. Tho Cubans still avoid
lighting a decisive battle with the
government troops, generally retiring
after exchanging a few shots with tho
soldiers. As these are the tactics
always followed by them, according to
government stories, it has been thought
advisuble to surround them and then to
gradually close the lines upon them,
driving them to a stand in the centre.
Grders to this effect it is asserted by
the Spaniards have been issued, and
the troops are reported to be rapidly
surrounding the insurgents. The trains
(ni tho railroad running west from
Havana do not go any further than La
Kalud, as the insurgents are in com
plete possession of the territory a little
further west.

port for Havana yesterday the govern-'
raent sent back to their prisons in '
Spuin a brigade of soldiers, who, at the

ly first class pianos sold direct from
the factory to the final buyer.
Are the only pianos on which you can
save the dealers' profits and enor
mous expenses, agents' salaries and
music teachers' commissions.
Are the only pianos every agent
condemns, for the natural
reason that NO AGENTS are em
ployed by us.
Are the only pianos which are not sold
in a single store in the United
States, because we closed all our
agencies over a year ago, and now
sell only to the "final buyer, at the
actual cost of production at our
factory. We have no store on
Broad street, but the factory wart
room is open every day till (i p. m., *
and .Saturday evenings from 7 to 10.
