Secretary Quesada of the Cuban revolutionary committee lias receivtd a letter from Camaguay, Cuba, containing information of a battle which has just been fought between a body of Spanish troops and a small force under General Gomez.

The letter which was dated Aug-. 11 was from Halvator Cisneros, Marquis of Santa Lucia, and gave a graphic account of the engagement, which was sharp and decisive. The Spaniards numbered 1,500 and were commanded by General Mella. They were acting as convoy for a large wagon train loaded with provisions and munitions of war on its way to the Spanish camp in the interior. The attacking party numbered 900, FIOO of whom were cavalry.

wagons were plodding along

when the Cuban cavalry suddenly dashed down on them from tlie rear. The tree liindBiost wagons were cut off and captured with the six mules attached to them. The drivers of the other wagons whipped up their mules and found safety behind the line of Spanish infantry, which was hastily formed to protect them. A sharp fire was kept up between the two forces, the Spaniards falling back slowly until they reached the brow of a small hill, where a stand was taken.

Recognizing the advantageous position of the enemy Gomez withdrew. Tlie Spaniards had 170 men killed in the fight, while the Cuban loss was only three. One of the captured wagons was found to be loaded with army rifles.

The letter said that the train of wagons was so harrassed by the Cuban troops that it required seven days to make a journey commonly done in" two.

Major Humphrey and Lieutenant Hutcheson arrived yesterday evening after a month's stay in the Jackson's Hole country.

Colonel Randall and two troops of the Ninth cavalry returned with General Coppinger from Wyoming, and are now at Fort Robinson. Jv ijor Chaffee was left in command of me .troops still on the field.

The conflict, he said, is between the state laws of Wyoming and the treaty with the United States.

The general saw that work on the military road to the hole country was being rushed before he left that section, as he anticipates further use for it.
