are expected to be on the war-path. These, with 
their allies of the Cheyenne and other northern

port by way of Key West is to tho effect that

iards arc being routed by the Insurgents every¬ 
where. Advices from Havana, however, report 
renewed successes on the part of the Spanish 
forces, one of these being the defeat of General 
Modosta Diaz's army by three battalions after 
nine hours’ fighting. The Captain-General tele¬ 
graphs these, and says:-“The rebel* arc thor¬

ror to accomplish reforms, whilst a negative vote 
means anarchy, disorder, revolution, and re¬
