HAVANA , Dtc. 27. The excitement which hat prevailed hero since the Insurgent army under Qomtr and Maceo entered the province of Malnn/an continues toitny and la height ened by the meagcrness of the news from the front. Tito Spanish authorities Inslft that tliti InsurgOits are it\ \ retreat and yet Captain 0 ncral Martinet do Campoi Is still here an J tlio work of fortifying llavani nnil Its \tclnlty continue * without an hour's Int rruptlon In any direction. Accoiding to the ofllclal advices , Maceo Is at the plnntntlon of Ollmpo , near the town of Camaro'ies , a llttlo way north of Jovcllanos , the town from which Campos re- ticatcd from I.tmonar , Camarones Is about forty-five Kilometres from the city of Matanxas , capital of the pio\lnco of thai name. Qulntln Uanilerl Is said to bo with lila column at Sumldero , about twenty kilometres from Malanrau , and only n Hill ? way from Llmonar , where , occordlng to the ofllctal announcements , Campos defeat d the li.purgonts at Collico. Hut Sumldero IB nc.iror to Matanzai than Collsco , which vvoiill not seem to confirm the atory that Hamlerl's columps wcru defeated. Maximo Oomez , uccoidlng to ths official ad- vIcM. IB still at the farm of Clcrvo In the district of Jaguty Grande and In the direc tion of the grand Clenaga Occidental do Hapata , an Immcnia stretch of uwamp land Into which he could retreat to the youthward , It niceiuury , and possibly avoid pur-wit upon the part 6f thn Spanish troop1' . It will thus be ecen that the three Cuban columns are ac counted for , one to the north of Sumldero , under Uandcrl ; one. In the Camnrones , under Macco , and one to ths-i outh near Jaguey Grand" , under dome/ , all In the province- " " JIoTanran and all to the westward of Colon. POSITION OK THE SPANISH. The exact position of the Spinlih columns b.lng concentrated to meet the Insurgento ( to pursue thm , according to the Spanish ofi'.clakIs ) not known , but the last reports tccolvcd had It that the Spaniards were con- ccntrat'.t e at Un'oi dJ Utye' . But Sumldero. where the Dunderi cloumn Is located. Is well to ths northward and only a llttl ? eastward of Union de Reyes , and Uandcrl would thus have no dllllcully In pressing onward toward Havana northward of Union de Rojes and uvjth of the city of Matanzas. rtandeil wculd also bo able to attack In the tear the troops at Camarones , or ha might join forces vl'h ' Muceo , and the two Insurgent columns might join together and move upon any force acnt to attack Gomez In the Jaguey Grande district. Con- bciiuently , It Is dlfllcult to see how the Span ish commander figures out his statement that ths Spanish troops occupy the most ad vantageous positions In the province of Matan- 7BS. To the observer of the movements of the opposing forcss It would appear Gomes to the south , Maceo In the centrr. and Dan der ! to the north and furthest west , really form a halt circle around the. Spanish forces and completely ccinmand that ) port'on of the Island. Then again , admitting that Union do Hoyes Is the Spirited headquarters for the operations against the Insurgents In the provlnca of Matanras , It would appear that the Spaniatda cannot move In a. body upon either of the Cuban columns without being attacked In the roar and upon both flanks liy the Cilbmis. The only operations pcs- tlblo to them , Mipposlng Union de Uejcs to be their rallying paint. Is to divide Into three columns to move simultaneously upon the Cuban columns. CAN AVOID A BATTLE. Therefor ? It will bo not'ccd ' that ths tact ca followed by Gomez throughout the campaign ( successfully prevail oven at the present moment. Ho has hitherto bo n able to avoid a pitched battle with the Spanish troops and whll leading them to concentrate at various points ho has managed to slip by the" Spanish force-s , although the Spaniards liavo o\ui halt u dozen times believed that they had big wlulo foice before them and that they would bo able to deliver a crushing blow. It Is therefore roasoii'ibUi to believe that If Bamlerl pushes on westward fiom Sumldero ho will turn th left Hank of the Spanish m my o.t Union do Reves , and that the latter must send u column In pursuit , thus weak ening their nml.i body. Th'n again , sup posing that Maceo moves foiward from CamJrone-a on the sumo line as Handed , the Sp nlh commander ut Union de II yes must I'enU another column to meet him. This -would leave but one-third of the- Spanish forcs ut Union do Reyes and Gomez , from Jaguy Grande would not have much diffi culty , judging from his previous successes. In pushing westward , southward and a llttb to the rear of the two other Cuban columns. U Is announced that the Insurgents have b'lrned the cane nVlda of the plantations of Dolorcx. Santa Murfa , San Jcanuln , Sccoro , Santa Fllomenu , Santa Cutallna , Induetrla , Infante Lu Gulra , and Macurijes , halt way ifetween Union do Heyes and Jaguey Grande , It li mid that this destruction of property was ( . .tutted while the Insurgents were r'trcat- ing upon Jjguoy Grande. Hut Sumldero , where the Bamlerl column of Insurgents Is bald to bci located , lu away to the northward niul wputwarJ. nearer to Havana than burned plantations. Tlit ! InsurgentH have also burned the village of I'eJrns. ? , ural In the dlstilct of Guantaimmo they have desltoyed the cane fields of the plantations of Solidad Las Carras , Santa Cecilia , Komclla , Santa Isabella of the Col onies , Antoulo , San Carlos , and Pcranza , Kanla Itcisn , Canlliicnit > .

I'KAU AN UPRISING IN HAVANA.

Th merchants of this city , while still loyally supporting the government , are beginning to bo very nervous and look forward with a great deal of alarm to the prospect of an up rising hero and the entry of th ? Insurgent Into Havana , which It Is claimed , Is certain to bo tlm B'gnal ' for wholesale Icotlng am other scrloiiB disorder. In the face of al these warning rumors and expressed fears the government authorities Insist that ther Is absolutely no danger that the Insurgent will ever get any distance b'jond Matanzns and they continue laughing at the mer mention of the Idea that Gcmer can get within sight of IHvana. They Insist that he an hla forces are In retreat and that the chance against the Insut gents being able to ge back Into the prcvlnco of Santa Clara ur very slim Indeed.

The Interference of ths police when they reached this city prevented them from becoming man and wife. When the angry brothers of tha young woman arrived , ths Indian discreetly disappeared.

Morrow rondeied an Important opinion In the United States district court today on the writ of habeas corpus asked for by Goo Hoop , a Chinaman , who arrived from Peking three months ago and was refused permission to land , although he had papers showing that h ? had been naturalized by a New Jersey court. Commissioner Peacock , who took evidence In the CUDS , recommended that Gee Hoop be remanded "for the reason that there was no law conferring the right cf naturali zation upon Mongolians or natlveu of China ; that the judgment of the court of common pleas of New Jersey naturalizing Gee Hoop was absolutely null nnd veld for want cf jurisdiction , and that , therefore , Gee Hoop was and In not a citizen of the United States , nu clalmcl by him , and cannot b ? permitted to land In this country.

( Ccps right , 1S03 , 1 > y Press PubllililnR Company. ) HAVANA , Dec. 27. ( New York World Ca blegram Special Telegram. ) The latest ad- vlc&s of Gomez locate the entire Insurgent band in the forests about Guantanamo. This locality Is to the south of the vlllago Alfonso XIII , which Is on a line nearly south from Matanzas. Quantanamo Is on a level plain , covered with heavy timber. It was a fa vorite retort of Manuel Garcia , the noted bandit. On the south Is the great Swamp of the Shoe , which extends alone the south ccast of Havana province to the vicinity of Clenfuegoi , and Is a distance of nearly 100 miles. The Insurgents apparently are catchIng - Ing breath with a strong defensive country Immediately behind them. I am Informed that they Intend to go to the vicinity of Madruga , a town south of Aquacate , on the railway from Matanzas to Havana , as there nn numerous rich sugar estates thereabout * A small party was seen near Nuova Paz , a hamlet ten miles west of Alfonso XIII. There hau been a general destruction of sugar cane In the country last visited by the Insurgents. So largo a number of estates has been burned it Is usaless to- try to men tion name ? . Reports come from Guantanamo , too , of the wholesale burning of cane In Santiago province. An American , named Gljnn , cams" to Havana today from near Sangua to report to Consul General Williams the burning of hla extensive cane fields. He had much difficulty in saving his house , and expects to find It gone on Ills return. Gomez In ths edge of an almost Impene trable swamp. Ho evidently Intends to pro ceed northward toward Madruga , If he can get there. Meanwhile the country thereabouts is allvo with Spanls'i trcops. NO PANIC IN HAVANA. At the most critical time In Gomez's raid to tha heart of Matanzas province , the city cf Havana was singularly undlsturbol. Oa Uucnos Noche ( Chriatmas eve ) the city was alive all night. The great square Itubslla Segumle was crowedcd , with merrymakers , mostly of the humble- order of society , who danced , sang and shouted until daylight. Dnrlng Christmas ! iday the strsats vure thronged. Moro ladles were out than in any previous season In a long1 time. There was absolutely no panic. Consul General Williams expressed surprls-s at the prevailing quiet. Robert Lawton of Law ton Bros. , who have an office In the Produce exchange at New York , and are American bankers and general dealers here , tells m : > ho Is aston ished at the utter absence of excitement. When Gomez was at Collseo , his nearest point , ninety-two mil s distant , Havana made no responsive whatever. In Mantazas City different conditions pre vailed boojuse It Is only eighteen miles from the scone of Martinez Campos' en counter with Gonrz at Collsoa. People. > were forbidden to be In the streets after ,10 o'clock , and the volunteers were all In arms. No dci.ht many people were scared. I endeavored to ascertain from Cuban sources whether any young men "went out * from Havana. I was assured on good au thority that none did so. The same applies to Matanzas. Gomez's column had'additions during Its wild inarch through the cane dis trict of Matanzas. The negroes have had a thorough scare , which may prevent their walking on the debris of the sugar cane. I learn that com paratively few mills were actually" destroyed. The Insurgents were chiefly bent on ruining the cane fields. CAMPOS' RETIREMENT RUMORED. The eve before Christmas a rumor was afloat that General Campos Intended to retire to Spain , Christmas day the rumor had as sumed a shape to make It appear to be true. There are several versions of the report. Ono was that , although there was no Indi cation of even suppressed public excitement , General Campos appeared In Havana , while the Insurgent raid was proceeding almost uninterruptedly In Matanzas. There was In tense fear In the hearts of many Intelligent and distinguished citizens that he had re signed and would return home by the Spanish mall steamer. The other story was that ho had resigned and was awaiting InstruoMons from Spain. A third report , which had less currency , was that General Campos Intended to resign after returning to Havana Christ mas night. How ; these reports startd I Jove been unable to ascertain. I have eni'irvored ' to obtain light today by extensive Investiga tion , The fact remains only that the * rt ports wore current. The leaders of throe recog nized political parties of Cuba were In cuj- stcrnatlon. They foresaw a calamity If Gen eral Campos should depart. The reason alleged for his action , actual or contemplated , was that the Insurgent chieftain had successfully made a raid through a rich and hitherto unaffected piov- Inco. From a military point of view , theie was not so much cause for regret , because a column composed of active , determined men , with a full knowledge of the country ind without any Impediment In the way rf supplies , had , by deseprato marching and avoiding the semblance of a baltl ewopt Ike a whirlwind over th * lanJ , escaping a numerous and powerful army actively chasing t. It was a mere mlllUry success. Hut Gomez and hU band , In the com so of their swift .progress , have scattercj firJbrands right and left. Some of the finest sugar states lu the provinces has been made ilcso- ate by fire. The flanks of Gomez's column were clouded by smoke , and burning cane. Campos has clung to his announced policy of iriiddness end klmillneJs , At no time has in abused or ehown personal III will toward he Insurg-nts. Ho has regarJcd th m rather us.

( Special. ) A Jury In the criminal court was tumble to decide whether Mrs. Mary Dalley was guilty or In nocent of the charge made against her of dealing a Ehawl , and she Is still In jail to await n ( second trial. Since she has been ar rested moro of the woman's history has been leauicd. She has admitted that slic ones killed a man at Edgai , Neb. , but says the killing was lu selt-dclens ? . The clilccrs place little credence In the story , which was tlrst told by Harry McKlnufy , the woman's son. who is now In the reform school. The strange man who Is believed to \ > z Charles Bailey , the woman's missing husbind , has again disappeared. When Mrs. Ualley hoard he was hero looking for her she ciased her efforts to give bond nnd asked to be locked up In jail , .ijlng the man would kill her on sight. She siys Dalley abandoned her several jears ago , and after renting In tha Omaha papers nn account of his suicide , eha believed him dead. She. did not hear of him again until she was given a de : rlpllon of the man who came liure to look for her. whom she knew at once to be the husbind she had bellsved to be dead. Letters found In the woman's house when It was psarched for stolen property bear out the claim that she was once wealthy. She was the village l > 3lle and nn heiress at Man- chaster , la. , where she married William Mc- Klnney. She sajs she had never known n care up to the time' her husband met death In a railroad accident. The boy born of the union tuincd out to bs a criminal , however , and a few days ngo was sent to the reform school. It Is to him that Mr * Ua'ley credits the theft of the shawl that was found In her house when It was searched by the police. The woman says her relatives In Iowa and Nebraska irc among the best and wealthiest people In the two states , but she refuses to appeal to them for aid In her present trouble , and hopes they may never know her whereabouts. Mrs. Dalley appars to be less than 30 jears old , and has every appear ance of refinement. Traces ot the beaittj that once made her famous In the society that knew her are still to be been In her face , and her glossy black hair still falls In natural ilnglcts about her temples and brow. She will be tried again at the next term ol court. _ M , HAXKnUI'T IiniSIH.F AMI I'llIUM ) * . One of Hie I.iii'KONt Tolinci'n Growers III KentiicKy AKHIKIIM. LEXINGTON , Ky. , Dec. 27.

The theater , which Is probably the oldeijt In the- clty , was filled from pit to dom ? with people ple who had assembled to listen to a Hebrew opera , which has been given In < ho old house twice a week fort the. .past month. The ticket ofllce rooslpto show that over 2.710 tlcketB had been sMd when , at 8 o'clock , tlis sale of t-satB was stopped became thdro were no more left. Genrral admission tickets were i'old , " how ever , after this , and It la sup posed that there were at least 3,000 peop'e within the walla when the curtain vvsnt up on the first act. As the capacity of the house iu les-j than 2,500 , the density of the crowd may be Imagined , Ten minutes after the curtain aroji , one of the attendants went up to the acond tier to light a gas Jet which appeared to have been extinguished. As he turned the cock and applied a match , the light flared up and It was Ben that there was no tip on the burner. The Jt was well down toward the stage on the left side of the house , In plain view of the greater part of the audience , and as the glare from It showed against tlio wall some one In the gallery shouted "Fire , Fire , Fire. " JIAD RUSH FOH THE DOOR. In an Instant there waa a mad scramble for the door In which the whole audience- took part. The . .vanguard of the tcrror- otrlckeii multitude reached the entrance on Front strest , pushed on by the howling , shrieking crowd bhlnd them. There those In the foremost rank wcr ? compelled to turn to the right and to the left to reach the double entrance way , built In the form of a storm door. Pawing through these doors , they reached a flight of steps leading from each door downward to a landing , from whcnca a broad stairway of moderate height wculd have carried them Into the street and to safety. The y'cps leading from the doorway are but about five fcnt high , but the landing at their baoa Is narrow. Down thcs > ? the frightened people hulled themselves In tha frightful struggle to reach the open air and to cscano the certain death they IhouuhL was behind them. As the ciowiH from th two doors , one on thu right , the other on the left , reached the landing they met. There wai u brief struggle and then some on ? lost lilti or her footing and foil. In a moment the croud , pushed with IrrcP'utlhlo ' fore * from the roar , crowded upon the proi'trat * , form and began In turn , to stumb'e , ml , and [ iresnitly fall prone upon the floor , under the ECOCU of feet coming like _ a herd ot Frightened buffalo from behind. In let's time than It talffs to tell It the landing wart picked twenty to thirty deep with the panic ctrlckcn multitude and the hundreds behind them were ntuggllng over them to reach the utreet. POLICE TO THE RESCUE. Thb tumult attracted an Immense crowd 'rom the outside , many of whom tried to ga'n ' entrance 'o tha theater , thus adding to the confusion , A dozen policemen , also at- .ractoJ by tha shrieks of the frightened ciowd , hurried to the tcene , and tulris their clubs on those outside , pushed through the leer and to the writhing mass on the land- IIK. Among the first to reach them wan Olllccr 13. J. Kclley. Forcing his way In through the main door ho grasptd a pair ot arms , and pulling with all his might , dragged a woman from under the surging crowd , A. glanca ft her face showed that she was past ill human aid , dead from suffocation , Again 10 i cached Into the mass of humanity and pulled out a boy about 7 years old , Ho , too , , vas dead , also from suffocation , with scarcely a bruUtt upon hla body. The ol'lcer was by his time reinforced by a doien of his fellow olllccr , who dragged out the prostrate ones , nszlng them to thoao on the sidewalk. Am- mlances carried the dead to the morgue and ha wounded to the city hospital , wherever iractlcal , In many cases the slightly Injured and In n few cases those who were budly mrt , were taken to their homes by friends , When the mast on the landing had been cleared the frightened mob Inside were qui eted down sufficiently to enable the police to clear the theater. Then U wai found that here had been no danger , and that not a no'Jl would have been Injured had the ii'u but remained In theli at-aU. Nine
