INSURGENTS NEAR HAVANA, of the rapid advance of the insurgent army upon Havana, after forcing its way through the province of S.unta Clara aud into the province of Matanzas, in spite of the efforts of Captain General Martinez do Canipos and about 80,000 troops at his disposal in the territory traversed and invaded. The reported important battlo, between the Spaniards under Campos and the insurgents at Coliseo plantation, 12 miles from Cardenas, does not appear to have been a very severe Vlotories of General Campos Have Virtdally Been Defeats For the the Cubans Hare Managed to Gain Their Point- Remarkable Feat Accomplished by Gomez.
HAVANA, Dec. 26. -Further details reached hero yesterday from Matanzas Cardenas is a seaport, quite, an important place for Cuba, of about 4,000 inhabitants, and is only 21 miles from Matanzas, capital of the province of that name and the largest town between Cardenas and Havana. The Spanish forces do not appear to have encountered the main body of the insurgents, as at first announced. The fight was between a portion of the northern insurgent column, and instead of turning out to be a great victory for the Spaniards, the result of the engagement was virtually a defeat for Campos' forces, for the Cuban army pushed onward unchecked and is still advancing on this city.
The fighting took place amid burning cane, underwood, tall grass and trees and was of the usual guerrilla nature. The Cubans, following their customary tactics, seemed to melt away into the distance 60 soon as the troops got within sighting distance of them and nearly all the firing was at very long range, although the soldiers made several gallant charges through the burning torritory. This style of fighting is termed a defeat of the insurgents; but, as they succeeded in accomplishing their object, holding the Spaniards in check while the Cuban army pushed on the result was really a Cuban victory. After the battle of Coliseo the insar. it is definitely moved rapidly westward, passing to the south of Limonaro while some of them were engaged with troops commanded "by Campos.
The Cuban army went by Coliseo, Madan, Tosca and Sumidero, burning several plantations as they swept onward. Retribucion plantation, one of those burned, is situated between Gunnaba and Ybarra, closo to the south of Matanzas, proving, beyond donbt that the Cubaus continued their inarch on Ilavana, for Ybarra is woll to the westward of Guanaba, where Campos passed the night. The iusurgents are believed to have camped not far from the two lines of railroad running close together between Aquarate and Matanzas, connecting Havana with roundabout Matanzus via Jaruco, and, by a more way, via Guines and Bejacal. Tho scouts are reported to have been seen, near San Francesco de Paula, less 50 miles from Havana, to the west of Santa Ana and not far from the most southerly of the two railroads connecting Havana with. Matauzas, be and far the behind Cuban them.
advance Between guard the insurgents and Havana there is only 0110 town of importance, Jaruco, and it is an open question whether Campos get there from Guanaba or Matan: zus, whor* he is supposed to be, bofore the Cubans have passed that point. Even the most stubborn Spanish offi. 87. cers agreo that the march of Gomez and Macco across Santa Clara and Matanzas is a most romarkablo military feat to have accomplished within three rocks and in spite of all the forces Spain could throw across their path.
