REBELS ES1N G R9PES Patriots Hang Men Sent With' Peace Proposals. GENERAL PANDO IS A RTEF GOM Z rpanish Commander Said to Hlavo F'. ced the Old Insurgent thief to Fly to tie Hills For Safety - Manuel Angulo of New York Will Hte Ofrered a Portfolio In the Autonomy Cabinet. HAvANA, Deo. 13.-It is of;icially an anounced that the Spanish for.ces under the command of General Pando. in the province of Puerto Principe. have been pushing insurgent leader General Max. imo Gomez so closely that he wa obliged, with about 200 men of his es cort. to seek refuge in the woods and mountains of Las Delicias. The commissioners sent by G, neral Pando to different parts of the island, with instructions to negotiate with the insurgents for their acceptance of the autonomous form of government pro posed by Spain. have not returne. i 1 single case, which seems to coniirm th~t reports that some of them have boe: hanged by the insurgents and otiher have elected to remain with the ene:. It is reported that Juan Deign:o'. tri insurgent leader, has rhan ed tihe twi commissioners who were sent to h:m with peace propositions. A dispatch recently received he:z from Madrid says that the auto::c:ny cabinet for Cuba will not be formed un til the Reformists and Autonomirs unite in one party, and it is added that Reformist deputy, Ambiard. who is now at Madrid, will on his arrival in New York offer to Manuel Rafael Arnuio. n member of the Cuban revolutionary junta, a portfolio in the new autonomy cabient,- in order to induce him to re turn to Cuba. The plans of the insurgents to strike a blow near the city have been checked, according to the official account, but the concentration of their forces is such as to make it unlikely that the insur gent band will surrender, as the Span ish authorities have been hoping. The business concerns of the city are much discouraged by the actual situa tion. They do not now look forward tc a speedy end of the revolution. All say they have abandoned the hope that the insurgents will surrender or accept tne conditions of autonomy. FEVER EPIDEMIC FEARED. Spain Quarantines Against All Vessel From the Creole State.

Consul Smythe, at Cartagena, reports many eases of yellow fever, one Ameri can having died from it. There is a strong probability that leg islation will be enacted this session pro viding for a national quarantine system. A bill has aliready been introduced t~y Senator Caffecry of Louisiana which in dicates that the doctrine of state's righ ts will not prevent southern members from supporting such a proposition.
