TO ALL SANTA CLARA REVOLTS Communication With West of Island Cut Fighting In Havana Sub - urbs American Jackles Beady to Land. . HAVANA. Sept 12. The Insurgents In Plnar del Rio and Santa Clara Provinces today signalized tne resumption of war by blowing up railroad bridges, blocking traffic and committing other acts of de struction. The event of today in Havana was the arrival late this afternoon of the United States protected cruiser Denver. When the flag on Morro Castle signaled the ap proach of the American warship, the news spread with rapidity throughout the city, and large crowds hastened to the wharves. Immediately after the Denver anchored Ensign Blakeley was sent ashore to the American legation to notify. Charge d'Affaires Sleeper of her arrival and that she was at the legation's serv ice. Asked as to the Denver's available landing force In case of necessity. Com mander Wells said that, while he carried no marines at present, she had 150 well drilled and armed sailors and several field guns, which could be put ashore on 15 minutes' notice. Railroad Bridges Blown Up. The resumption of activities in the field thus far has principally affected railroad property. In Pinar del Rio Province, the Western railway bridge at Taco Taco was partly destroyed. The bridge over the Santa Clara River, which was recently damaged by insurgents, is being repaired, while being guarded by Major Clews' rapid-fire gunners. Railroad communication with Western Plnar del Rio Province Is row wholly cut oft. It is believed that this Is not the work of Pino Guerrera's men, but of others working In co-operation with him. A railroad bridge on the line of the Cuban Central road between Cruces and Las Ajas, near the Trinidad sugar es tates, managed by O. B. Stlllman, of New York, has been blown up. The manager of this railroad reports that insurgents also are taking stores. Alarmed About Santa Clara.

More fighting was reported today in the vicinity of Consolaclon del Sur. Fighting Near Havana. Several minor fights are reported this evening, two of them quite near Havana. At Luyana, Just Bouth of Havana Bay, 200 shots were exchanged between rural guards and a band of Insurgents. The latter dispersed. Near Punta Brava, west of Havana, there was a hot skirmish, details of which have not yet been re ceived. In a fight today near Santa Clara City, three insurgents were killed, one was wounded and seven were captured. Veterans Hold Down Santiago.
