FurtHer ^Acbbu Hits of' the Recent Engagement! Cuba.

It Was More 'in the Natnre of a Pitched llattle Than Any Previous One Daring the Insurrection—A Number of Skirmishes Have Taken Place Has Spain

Given Up the Figlit. HAVANA, March 20.—Details of the engagement betw&en Ynclan's forces and the insurgents under Maeeo, near Candelaria, in Pinar del Rio, the news of which was cabled yesterday to the Associated Press, are still meager, but the losses incurred in the Spanish troops are admitted to have been serious, the engagement more in the nature of a pitched battle than any previous one during the insurrection, and the atrack made by the insurgents bold and effective.

A telegram received from General Linages at Cayajacabos admits this much and says the troops are worthy of the highest praise as they had to attack in the open, an enemy barricaded behind stone walls. General Liiiarefe also reports that the coltunn under Lieutenant Colonel Frances had taken the insurgent position after a stubborn defense directed by Maceo,' Banderas and Delgade. -v

Slaeeo was Encamped Thursday at the plantation of Flora, west of San Cristobal, having penetrated further into Piriaip del Rio 'Since his attle with Colonels Ynclan and Hern.aidez. (Juarez Ynclan advanced to San Cristobal and formed a junction there with Colonel Echavarria, General Linares followed Maceo toward Mayarte, south of Candelaria, but Maceo had changed his route, raking the north Havana highway toward Pinar del Rio. Colonel Hernandez proceeded to Candelaria and supported by other columns went from there toward Ginebra to join the other Spanish forces.

Colonel Hernandez reports having had two fights with the insurgents and he has returned from the plantation of Merced. At Montesine he reports fighting Maceo, Banderas and Pereqaite Perez with a loss to himself of seven wounded. The insurgents were dislodged and pursued and once more over taken at Merced. They were again dislodged with the bayonet and artillery. Colonel Hernandez has carried his wounded back to Candelaria, as the report says that the insurgents left in both these tights 20 killed and 150 saddled horses.

General Linares telegraphs feoai ajayabos: "On Tuesdr.y morning myself aud Colonel Ynclan, hearing shots from the Sierra, proceeded to the Labori estate, where the flames were visible, dividing our troops, Ynclan taking a course to the right and Ito the left."

It was

011

this march that the heavy

attack was made

the insurgents. The company of volunteers of Santiago de Cuba has killed six insurgents.

the plan ration of Portugulate left a detachment of his cavalry on the Amelia plantation. The latter fought the insurgent bands of Hernandez, Palacio aud Saturnino Latra, the last named being the proprietor of the Amelia. Five insurgents were killed and many were supposed to be wounaed.

The battalion of Arapiles overtook the same band in the hills of Nacareno, inflicting some loss upon them.

Yesterday eight of the armed band of Eduardo Garcia surrendered at Madruga.

It is very evident that the forces of Gomez, Banderas and Maceo are much the best armed in the insurgent forces, other bands having only about 80 per cent of their number armed.

The .insurgents are disheartened by the wounding of the brothers Garcia, one of them an insurgent brigadier general and the other a colonel.

Colonel Maroto reports that while 011 a reconnoiscense he inflicting a loss of five killed on the band of Acea ana captured their rifles. The troops had tliree wounded.

The detachment of troops near Cardenas has captured an expedition bringing arms and ammunition to the insurgents. These were carried to a barracks protected by the gunboat Caridad. Numerous bauds of insurgents thereupon attacked the barracks. An appeal was sent to Cardenas for aid and a column has been sent to the relief of the barracks.

General Melquizo fought the band of Auguirre, 600 strong, n'ear the farm of San Rafael, Matanzas, inflicting a loss of five Killed and taking one prisoner.

General Prats, while reconnoitering neat Coital, killed three insurgents. In a skirmish near Arroyo, Saneti Spiritus, Colonel Martin's command killed four insurgents and captured one officer.

A guerilla force at Paso Lagiinillas killed five insurgents. The escort of an exploring train also caused the insurgents a loss of eight.

A lawyer named Jacinto Figaroa has been arrested at Pinar del Rio on the nharge of plotting with the insurgents. A quantity of aniinuhition was found in his house.

The editor of La Republica has been arrested on a political charge. The military mayor of Mariahao, the Marqilis Cervera, has been relieved by Captain General Weyler who has set at liberty the Puerto Padre and Gibara prisoners who were arrested without sufficient evidence of their guilt. The men released wili be promptly assisted to return to their homes.

TRUE ACCOUNT OF THE BATTLE. This Dispatch Came in Cipher and Passed the Spanish Censorship.

CHICAGO, March 20.—A special to The Times-Herald from New York, says: The Cuban insurgents have dealt Spain a crushing blow. Trustworthy information lias been received from liavana that the battle fought a few daysago in Pinar del Rio, which tiio uispatches sent out with the sanction of the press censor described as a Spanish victory, was in reality a lumen table uefeat for the forces of Ueneial Weyler.

This news reached Havana touay ami was sent to this city ill a brief cipher cablegram.

soiaee of the iuitir-

mation leaves no doubt of its reliability.

Ihe Spanish ollicials will not permit

the report of insurgent success "to \e Bent out of Havana. It is expected that'thci detaite oif the battle will be Smuggled 'dVer to Tampa and there put On the wires.

It 'is the firm opinion in this city among persons informed of events in I Gtiba that the Spanish caftse is lost. It is also believed, despite denials, that MD this last defeat will so add to the dissatisfaction against General' Weyler that either his resignation or recall will soon follow.

WEYLER INTERVIEWED.

Will Spain Give It Up

LONDON, March 20.—A dispatch to The Pall Mall Gazette from Madrid says that the pacification of Cuba is now looked upon as being impossible except as the result of a supreme effort involving the sending of large reinforcements to that island and instituting a complete blockade of its coasts.

CHASED BY A WAR VESSEL. A .Spanish Cruiser Fails to Overtake the British Steamer Kthelred.

BOSTON, March 20.—The British steamer Ethelred, Captain Hopkim which has just arrived from Jamaica. reports that she was chased for an hour and a half by a Spanish cruiser on Wednesday, March

11.

while

The chase began about 3

further heed to the warship. The latter, however, at once started in hot pursuit and continued the chase for 90 minutes, when she gave it up, as the Ethelred had been constantly drawing away from her as she increased her speed about a knot an hour. No shots were fired from the warship. The passengers

011

the Ethelred became greatly excited. The officers of the steamer claim th they were outside the three-mile limir. and that they were justified in evading any attempt to detain them. The Ethelred achieved considerable notoriety last summer through having been fired upon by a Spanish cruiser.

ONE-SIDED ENCOUNTER.

A Spanish War Vessel llaa Away From One of Our Unarmed War Vessel*. WILMINGTON, Del., March 20.—Captain Steele, of an oyster schooner now at Atlantic City, has just told a story of a one-sided encounter off the coast yesterday between a Spanish gunboat and the American battleship Massachusetts.

The captain said that while iu Atlantic L.ry he heard that a Spanish gunboat was lying off the coast in wait for the Bermuda which is thought to have sailed from Somer's Point yesterday with a Cuban expedition. He resolved to see the meeting if any occurred. The captain said he went out in his boat for about 20 miles where he saw the Spanish boat with flags flying. Shortly afterwards the Massachusetts which has been lying near the Capes awaiting favorable weather for her builders trial trip, hove in sight.

According to the captain, the officers of the Spanish gunboat must have thought war had been declared for immediately upon sighting the Massachusetts she pulled down her flag and ran away. Meanwhile the Massachusetts continued up the coast at a clipping gait. The most amusing part of •the story is that the Massachusetts has nothing in the shape of armament yet

It Is Possessed by the Sultan of Turkey.

W. W. HOWARD SAYS SO.

He Says That the Sultan Is Directly Responsible For the Death by Sword and Hunger of Fifty Thousand Persons aud the Destitution of Four Hundred "Thousand More in Armenia.

NEW YORK, March 20.—W. W. Howard, who was sent to Armenia by th° Christian Herald of New York in September of last year to superintend the distribution of the money of the Armenian fund for the benefit of the destitute in the Turk-ridden country, has returned to New York.

SULTAN ABDUL AZIZ.

"Of all the black spots in all this world," he said, "the blackest is the heart of the sultan of Turkey. It is he who has ordered the massacres, who is directly responsible already for the death by the sword and hunger of 50,000 persons and for the destitution of over 400,000 more. It he who orders the murder of men, the destruction of whole provinces, the outraging of women and the abduction of young girls. "The excuse is made that the Armenians are in a state of revolution. Ti:excuse is simply given for the purpose of hiding the real cause of the devil's work that is done. It is a crusade against Christ and Christianity. "The Armenians are hereditary slaves of the Turks. The present trouble can only be stopped in two ways—either by th»' emigration of Armenians to some other part of the world, or the complete extinction of the people. At present I do not believ- there are any massacres in process for th" reason that the country is covered with snow. When Al ay comes then the massacres will begin anew. "There are in Armenia 100 or more missionaries. They have distributed the $40,000 raised by the Christian Herald. and have relieved much sufferint: "I left here on Sept. 28, 1895. I had been in Armenia once before, in December, 1894. when I was the only one of the 15 correspondents for English papers who managed to reach the country. "This last time a reward was offered for my head by the Turkish government. They said they thought I was coming into the country to head a revolutionary party. In the village of Nazarabed I had an encounter with bandits, and again many times iu crossing the border I had to fight my way."

DYING FROM SHOCK.

Mrs. the missionary, Who Witnessed an Armenian Massacre. CHICAGO, March 20.—Mrs. Gates, wife of the well known Chicagoan, who has been a missionary for years in Armenia, will return to this city as rapidly as she can find convenient transportation from her present home in Harpoot. Mrs. Gates became seriously ill as the result of a nervous shock at the time of the massacre of Harpoot several weeks ago.

Friends implored her to relinquish her determination to remain there to continue missionary work. Not until recently did she acknowledge that' the task was too exacting for her strength. S. M. Moore has just received a telegram fz-om Missionary Agent Peet in Constantinople saving that Mrs. Gates will start home from Harpoot April 17. She will reach Constantinople May 10. Mr. Moore will sail from New York April 9 on the Fuerst Bismarck to meet Mrs. Gates in the Turkish capital and conduct her to her home in Chicago.

STILL MORE DISHEARTENING. Italian Prisoners in Abyssinia Are Reported as Badly Treated.

ROME, March 20.—A dispatch from Massowa to The Tribuna says prisoners who have escaped from the Abyssinian camp declare that the prisoners there are ill treated and badly fed, and that numbers of them have been garroted.

The Negus of Abyssinia, Menelik, is anxious to conclude a peace with the Italians and to return to Shoa.

The dervishes are within an hour of Cassala, the garrison of which has provisions for four months.

Iluck in Bad Luck.

FORT WAYNE, March 20.—Yesterday morning Herbert C. Buck, an employe of the United States Express company and president of the Plymouth Congregational church Christian Endeavor society, was caught in the act of burglarizing Lehman's store. He had tapped three cash registers when he was covered by a gun in the hands of Detective Coling. His parents are most respectable pioneer residents of Fort Wayne. Buck was to have been married this spring. He was held in the sum of $500 to appear before tin? circuit court.

Fight in a Courtroom.

ATLANTA, March 20.—A sensational

scene was enacted in the United States

courtroom yesterday afternoon, when George W. Bice, on trial for counterfeiting, after a war of words with Inspector John .E. Murphy of St. Louis, made a vicious attack upon that officer. A general fight, in which the greatest ex foment prevailed, followed. No one was injured in the inelee.

Mining: Kate Advanced.

PITTSBURG, March 20.—The joint committee of 10 railroad coal operators and miners of the Pittsburg district fixed the mining rate yesterday at 70 cents per ton until further notice. This is the rate demanded by the miners and agreed to by the operators, provided 95 per cent of the operators signed the agreement to pay the price. The decision made yesterday not only saved the advanced rate of mining for the Pittsburg district, but netted a clear advance of 6 cents per ton for the entire state of Ohio.
