ITRITS SWB ANO Insurgents to Accept Nothing Short of Independence. THE PEACE PL. FALL TEROUGH Cubans Refuse to Accept Offers Made Them by the span:h General, and the War Will Now Continue-Rebels expect the Comong se kion of Congress to Take Some Action Looking to Their lielief. HVANvo, via K:F WEST, NOV. 22. General Pando. as recently cabled by the Associated Press, started by train from this city on Saturday last in order, according to ofilcial announcement, tc take charge of the campaign against the ,insurgents. Ha was accompanied by his full stall and was escorted by a com pany of artillery. But it is stated on very good authority that General Pandc has been commissioned by Marshal Bianco, the captain general. to ente: into communication with the ins urgent leaders with the view of arranging for peace. This statement is based on accurate knowledge oF all the facts in the case. General Pando did not leave this city until he had taken steps calcu:atod to further the object w hh irshal Blanco has in v:ew. Oneral Pa ,' after a consu.ntat.o!n w:t:a thet ct) Ianl' general, first brcugzht about the re ease from cont:inenent of Damian Ca''a 'ew. who. has been inlprisone.i on the Is e o: Pnes for some time pisr. :r is a leged, acting as a spy for the insuir eurs and bringing abcn: a disaster of tue Spanish troops as Cacao, province of Santiago de Cuba. General Pando :urnished C.ballero, who is the godfather of Rabi, looked upon as being the backbone of the in surgent movement in the province of Santiago de Cuba, with a considerable sum of money and caused him to be landed at Manzanillo, province of San tiago de Cuba, where a good horse was placed at his disposal. General Pando's peace emissary was also furnished offi cial documents empowering him to act for the Spanish commander, and from Manzanilio Caballero made his way se cretly to the Jiguani hills, where Gen eral Rabi has his headquarters. Big Sums of Mloney Offered. General Pando instructed Caballero to offer General Rabi a high rank in the Spanish army and a large sum of money to be distributed among the other insur gent leaders of that part of Cuba and in addition a large amount of money for himself, in the event of his succeeti ing in arranging terms of peace. Be sides this. Caballero was instructed to inform the insurgent leaders that the Spanish authorities undertook to hon estiv establish the new autonomist re gime if the leaders of the insurgents would accept the propositions made them. Although Caballero has not returned from Santiago de Cuba, confidential ad vices which have reached the Spanish officials here seem to indicate that Ca ballero has so far been unsuccessful It is understood that General Rabi has re plied that he believes a successful end ing of the war in favor of the insurgents is anroaching; that the Cubans. with the aid of the United States, will gainI their independene, and that, therefore, he prefers to continue fighting tho Spaniards until the final victory is won. Caballero also negotiated with Gen eral Duvalen, the French leader of the insurgents. There seemis to be no inti mation as to the result of the Cabailero's negotiation with General Duvalen, a> though it may be judged fromn the atti rude assumed by General Rabi that the peaice negotiations are likely t a il flat in Santiago de Cuba. More Irons in the Fire. General Pando, meanwhile, acting in . conjunction with Marshal Blanco. has put other irons in the fire in the hope of prevailing upon the insurgents to come t o terms. He has been and is still in negotiation with three leaders of the Cuban revolution and has been endeav oring to mnduce-them to go to different distant camps, there to use their infln ence to bring about peace, on the prom ise of Cuba being accorded a really au tonomous form of government. These three men were also offered money for themselves and were to have been fur-F nished with large sums of money so dis tribute among their friends. But is is understood they have refused to become agents of General Pando, ai~eging as their excuses that they have no infli ence with tl insurgent leaders of the principal rebel territories and that they would be risking their lives should they; venture into the insurgent camp. In some quarters it is believed that the reluctance to accept the overtures of General Pando is due to the fact thati the insurgents are anticipating so:ne strong steps in their favor when the United States congress meets. It is generally admitted that General Pamio is somewhat mortified with tile non: success of his plans up to the present. CUBANS NEAR THE CAPITAL: Insurgents Attack Hivan~a Outposts, but Are Diren Back. NEW YORK, No". 22.-A palrty of in surgents attacked the Spanish outposts of Havana and a sharp engagement fol lowed, says the Havana correspondent of The Herald. The sounds of firing caused great excitement in Havana, as is is known that large rebel forces are quartered near the city. Details of the engagement are not known, but it is said that the insurgents destroyed much property before sufficient Spanish forces were concentrated to drive them away. The loss in killed or wounded is not known, as officials refuse to give out any information beyond the bare state meat that a party of six insurgents just outside of Carabanas were driven away. The rebels, it is officially reported, rook two horses and one rifle which they had stolen. _________ Carl Johnson Passes Away. DENVER, Nov. 22.-Carl N. Johnson, superintendent of the noted Geyser Mining company of Boston, which has expended $2,000,000 in developing a proyerty at Silver Cliff, Colo., is dead,: aged 63 years.
