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 possibility of the commis

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.
