In the Calabazar and Iloyo Colorado districts the cane has been burned find ulso iu the fields of Maulin, Garro and Baracoa. Word has just been received that the sounds of cannon and musketry have been heard in the neighbor hood of Guanajay, an important town of 4,000 inhabitants in Pinar del Rio, fortyfive miles southward of Havana. It is supposed that an en gagenient is taking place there be tween the forces of General Surez Yaldez and the insurgents, but the numbers engaged or the course which the fortune of the fight is taking is not known. The ineurgent band commanded by Zayas was reported at different times yesterday at Caimito, Guaya bal, Ho jo Colorado and Punta Bra- va, showing that they followed pretty closely the line between the prov inces of Pinar del Rio and Havana up to the extreme northeastern por tion of Pinar del Rio. This brought him into the region into which large numbers of troops have been sent o guard the western approach to Havana. It does not appear that . a. the insurgents were in any great force and do engagements are re ported. The fields of the Valdespi- no estate have been burned and the villages of Puerto La Guiara and Marrerio have also been put to the torch, after being plundered, accord ing to the report received here. The influx of refugees from the whole of the territory surrounding Havana continues and apparently it is not possible to obtain sufficient means of transportation to accom modate the fleeing families and their household goods. The country feems to be entirely abandoned to the insurgent army and no move ment apparently avails to check them. The eastern portion of the island seems not to have been entirely stripped of an effective force of in surgents.

The Times congratulates the coun try upon the foreign news and with reference to a reiteration by its Ber lin correspondent of the statement that Germany had intended to land marines at Lorenzo Marquis before hearing of Dr. Jamesons defeat, the Times says: "This is a grave statement and we refuse to believe that Portugal would have lent herself to such a move. But it proves that OermaD interference was not the result of sudden indignation at Dr. Jameson, action but had been meditated and discussed, and presumably concerted with the Boers. Emperor Williams indignation must accordingly be re garded in the light ot diplo matic histrionics. It is a tradition of German policy to prepare a coup secretly and then to give it an air sf coming about by an unfortunate ac cident. This is grave reason to suspect that she has long harbored hostile designs. This theory will explain the Boers extraordinary ob stinacy in refusing moderate couces sions to the Uitlanders." The Daily Telegraph announces that it has been decided to intercept the troops in transit to and from India in order to send strong rein forcements of infantrv and cavalry to the cape. This paper also states that troops in addition will be sent from England aud that a first class cruiser has been ordered to Delagoa Bay. , A special dispatch from Berlin says that Dr. Leyds, the Secretary of State of the Transvaal, has received dispatch which states that the Transvaal demands from England an indemnity of 500,000 for Dr. Jameson's invasion.
