tho Engagements That Have Taken l'lacc Have liesultt.'d in I'avor of the In

surgents— A Sailor's !"itor,v.

NEW YORK. Aug. 17.—President Palma of the Cuban revolutionary headquarters said yesterday that a distinguished Cuban, now in this city on a secret-, mission. had received a letter riatcd Aug. 4. from iiis brother, one of the best, known artists in Cuba, describing an engagement that hud taken piace on that day.

The letter in parr says: (Jeneral Gomez witli SOU Cubans attacked a convoy of bpauish troops going from Giuauiora to Port-au-Princc on Aug. 4. The bpatiiards under Lsaiz numbered. 1.(500 and were well equipped. The fighting was hot and heavy, and at one tune the patriots almost succeeded in capturing the convoy. A Spanish major and a-vother orricor were killed, :lso 70 soldiers. The Cuban loss was trilling.

The letter, like all advices received from Cuba, is very indefinite as to details. It is reiterated every day at Cuban headquarters that the lack of detailed news is owing to the strict censorship exercised by Spanish authorities over the mail and telegraph lines. President Palmu and his colleagues profess to believe, however, that tne engagements that have so far taken place have been mostly in favor of their side. They point to the fact that General Campos, in asking for more troops, which pi'actically endorses their belief.

Spanish Soldiers in Distress.

BALTIMORE, Aug. 17.—Charles Winkler, boatswain ot the steamship Culmore, in the fruit trade with Cuba, has returned here and tells of the halfstarved and ill-clad appearance of the Spanish soldiers in Cuba. "There was plenty of firing around Baracoa when we were there two weeks ago," he said, "but it was a wild, disordered sort of a fusilade, such as gave the impression that neither the Spanish soldiers nor the rebels desired to do much fighting. We could plainly see the soldiers and they were a ragged, half starved lot. They seemed utterly lacking ot all patriotism and a $f bill would have brined a do/,on of them. They wore blue jeans and white duck uniforms and otten were seen it their bare ieet." ANOTHi Ou« of
