Seven Thousand Insurgents Driven From Their Position By the Spaniards Who Only Lost Three Killed and Nineteen
Wounded—Several Other Skirmishes Reported All With the Same Result. HAVANA, March 9.—An important en
gagement is officially reported to have taken place in the central portion of Matanzas province. Colonel Vicuna reports that he meta force of insurgents numbering 7,000 and led by Maximo Gomez, Antonio Maceo, Lacret and others at the plantation of Diana and Abecus, in the district of Co.ral-Falso. They were dislodged froih their positions by the troops and made a precipitous flight toward San Miguel de Los Banos. The insurgent loss is reported to be 71 killed and 42 wounded left on the field, as well as numerous others carried off. The insurgents also lost 200 horses. The loss of the troops was three killed and 19 wounded.
The columns of Lieutenant Colonel Loisundi fought the insurgents at Serpientes, Sancti Spiritus.
A coast inspector has been killed by the insurgents. Volunteer troops at the plantation of Oviedo fought the insurgent leader Baudramos, two privates being wounded and two taken prisoner.
The insurgents attacked, plundered and destroyed a passenger train from Cardenas. The train was carrying ammunition to a fort under construction at Artemisa. The firing was done by a band supposed to be that of Perico Delgado. The train's escort was taken. The insurgents sustained a loss of men and horses.
PASSENGER'S REPORT.
A Different Story Told From the Censorship Telegraphic Dispatches. TAMPA, Fla., March 9,—Among the
passengers arriving from Cuba yesterday was an insurgent emissary with important dispatches from Antonio Maceo to the junta in New York. This gentleman is highly educated and gives some interesting facts about the progress of the revolution and of plans which General Gomez intends putting into effect. Maceo, he reports, is now at Cano, five miles from Havana, with 8,000 men. At Cano the guards had a skirmish .Friday morning. The people of Havana are alarmed, but General Weyler, the agent says, does nothing to disperse the encamped enemy, who are occupying strong positions all over the island awaiting Weyler's promised attack.
Among other things mentioned in Ai.iceo's repori. is that January 1 to February 20 he captured from the Spaniards 2,800 Mauser and Remington rifles, besides other miscellaneous arms 210 rounds of ammunition by intercepting convoy trains, and the capture of small forts. Four field pieces were also taken. Maceo now has (5,000 well armed men and 2,000 miscellaneously equipped. His losses at Paso Real Candelria and Alquisar were 250 men ai^d 40 officers. These are all the losses he mentioned.
Since Weyler proclamation fully 8,000 men have joined the insurrection in Province of Puerto Principe. General Gomez, the agent says, lias returned there to raise an army of 25,000 in order that he may by April, in conjunction with Maceo's forces and others, consolidate an army of 40,009 men near Havana, and be prepared for an aggressive campaign.
The insurgents say that if the United States recognizes them they will win within a year if not, they will ultimately win, but the end will be delayed.

An Old Man aud a New-Br rn Babe Found in a Chicago Alley. CHICAGO, March 9.—Carefully con
cealed in a barrel and covered with a mass of old rags and cotton the dead bodies of a gray-haired man and a newborn babe were found in an alley in Hyde Park yesterday. In consequence the police axe working on what they consider a double murder. Only one clew is in their possession, and on the discovery of the identity of a woman, as yet unknown to the police depends the possible solution of the mystery.
Early yesterday forenoon the office in Ralston's Hyde Park morgue was rung up on the telephone, and a woman, who declined to give either her name or address, asked if the body of a man had been found in Hyde Park: The office attendant replied in the negative and then questioned the woman, but his best efforts failed to gee any information of a decided character, although she told the clerk she was looking for a man who was missing. She was finally prevailed upon to give his description, which she did in minute detail. She astonished the morgue attendant by saying in conclusion that he would certainly learn about the case later on.
Four hours later the barrel with its ghastly contents was discovered in the rear of the house at 4829 Indiana avenue. The body of the man tallied in almost every respect with the description furnished by the mysterious woman over the telephone wire, and the police unhesitatingly connected her with the case. I11 the barrel, also, was the body of a boy not over 10 days old.
J. A. Nurse, residing in Prairie avenue, while emptying a pan of ashes in the alley at the rear of his home, discovered a barrel which aroused his curiosity. Breaking open the head of the receptacle, he was horrified upon seeing the hacked body of an old man inside. It was entirely nude and frightfully mutilated. Covering the corpse was a thick layer of cotton. The police were at once notified, and the barrel was removed to the morgue. The head and trunk gave every evidence of foul play, the skuil showing several deep wounds. On the left iorearm were tattooed five spots close together. There was nothing eise to give any clew to the man' identity.
After the severed pieces of the body had been lifted from the barrel the body of the baby was found. It was nude, save for a thin flannel shirt, and there were two marks 011 the side of the head, apparently made with a blunt instrument.
The body of the elder male was that of a man between (55 and 70 years of age.
The police laugh at the theory that it was the work of medical students and are positive in their statements that- the man and child were murdered.
J!M CROW CARS.
Suits for JS30,000 Filed
J5y Negroes
oted From Whites' Coaches.
LOUISVILLE, March 9.—Three suits for $10,000 each were filed in the United States district court Saturday against the Chesapeake, Ohio and Southwestern railroad company for ejecting negroes from the trains who refused to conform with the provisions of the separate coach law.
Though the suits are brought separately, the same attorneys represent each case. Judge Barr has long ago decided that the separate coach-law is unconstitutional, and will award damages in any suit that is brought. The state, however, compels the railroad to enforce the law, and the negroes can sue in the state courts and recover damages if they are not provided with separate coaches.
Pearl Bryan's Muriicrfivt isi i'ourt. CINCINNATI, March 9.—After hearing
the matter of extradition of Walling and Jackson, indicted by the grand jury cf Campbell county, Ky., for the murder of Pearl Bryan, Judge Buchwaiter Saturday recognized the right of the Kentucky authorities to the custody of the prisoners and dismissed the habeas corpus proceedings, but granted a stay of seven days to permit counsel for the defendants to appear before the circuit court on error, where the judge's ruling on the habeas corpus proceedings wili be reviewed. The prisoners will thus remain in the custody of Sheriff Archibald in the Cincinnati jail until a decision by the circuit court.
"Railroad Bill" Shot and Killed. MONTGOMERY, Ala., March 9.—"Rail
road Bill," the terror of Louisville and Nashville train hands, was killed in a store at Atmore, soilth Alabama, at 9 o'clock Saturday night by three deputy sheriffs. He murdered a sheriff and half a dozen train hands in the past three years, and thousands of dollars and several good men's lives have been lost in chasing him. A big knife was found in his pants leg aud two horse pistols in his belt. The negroes at Atmore threatened to take his body, and a posse was ordered from Brewtou to assist the officers in charge. A reward of several thousand dollars was offered for Bill dead or alive.
Difficulties of Forming a Cabinet. ROME, March 9.—There is much diffi
culty being found in the task of forming anew ministry. Signor Saracco has declined the .^responsibility, while the attempt to i0*ii a Saracco-Rudini combination equally failed. It has just been announced, however, that the Marquis di Rudiui has succeeded in forming a cabinet with himself as premier and minister of the interior, General Ricotti, minister'*of war Signor Brin, minister of foreign affairs Senor Perazzi, minister of tne treasury, and Admiral ehia, minister of marine.
