A FATAL BLUNDER Lead* One Spanish Column to Attack Another and » Fierce ShmeMat Eumn, In Which Many nr* Killed and WoaaiM, Before the Mistake la Dlacorered—Loases Believed to be G renter than Reported. Hay ah a, March 16.— An untoward military accident that occurred Saturday night, growing out of a misunderstanding of the reply to a challenge, resulted in the killing of 12 soldiers and the wounding of a number of others. A small band of insurgents had set fire to* the cane' and buildings on a sugar estate near Mariano, province of Havana. The snyrfke attracted the attention of two columns of Spanish troops who were advancing uf search of the rebels. The column which first arrived on the estate intrenched themselves'as a precaution against any sudden attack from the insurgents, who were supposed to be near. The second column, consisting of the San Quintin battalion, arrived on the scene after dark. As they approached the entrenchment of the first column they were hailed %■ the usual--Alerta*’ from a‘picket, and responded by call- ! ing out the name of their battalion— j San Quintin. The picket, eonfused by j the sudden, approach of the eolurnn, j misunderstood the, reply, taking it, i from the similiarity of the sound, to be Quintin Bandara, the name of one of j the rebel leaders.* He, at once con- ! eluded that the insurgents were moving to attack the column to which he belonged, and without further parley discharged his piece aud fell back to the intren chments, where the report I of his rifle had caused all the troops to 1 seize their guns and prepare to repel I an attack. The second column had in the meantime continued to advance, supposing that they had come upon the rebels for whom they were looking. /They had uot gone far before the first column poured a volley into their ranks. The second column, returned the tire aud then, in response to au order, fixed bayonets and rushed forward to take the intreuchments by storm. As they went ovi?r the intrenehments, the first column poured another volley into them. When the troops came into close quarters, it was discovered, from the. uniforms and flags, that a fatal ' blunder had been made. It is reported that the losses on both ; sides in killed and wounded, was over thirty, but there is a strong sus picion that they were much larger. All the circumstances tended to the ' making of the mistake. Besides the darkness the smoke from the burning cane fields, prevented the combatants from recognizing1 each other. The mistake is greatly deplored, and, though it is generally held to have been unavoidable, it is pretty certain that the officers in command of the columns will be court-martialed.

THE STEAMER BERMUDA Headed Sooth, Laden with Arms and Ammunition. Doubtless for the Cubans. Xkw York, March 16.—The steamer Bermuda, laden with arms and ammunition, left her anchorage, about two miles south of Liberty Island, at 8:15 o'clock yesterday morning, and passed Sandy Hook at ten o’clock. She ; cleared Saturday for Vera Cruz, *nd no attempt was made to detain her as she left the harbor. It was said that groups of men were ; on shore, ready to go out to her, but | only three men were observed ou deck, besides the officers in charge when she sailed. The munitions of> war are undoubt- | edly for the Cuban insurgents. A tug boat followed the Bermuda, and it is understood was in the employ of the Spanish consul. Dispatches from points along the Jersey coast say that the tug followed her out past Asbury Park, but how far or for what purpose is not known, but she was far behind 1 the steamer. The Bermuda when last seen, had a | full head of steam on and was headed south. If, as was rumored, a steamer is to meet and transfer men to the Bermuda, it will undoubtedly be some way down the coast. Capt. O’Brien, an old Hell Gate pilot, who is in command of the Bermuda, has taken out filibustering expeditions in years gone by. THE BATTLESHIP INDIANA

Failed to jbks the Dock and Waiting for a High Tide. Port Royal, a C., March 16.-—The battleship Indiana went to the1 dock i yesterday morning but found ojnly 24 feet of water in the dock. Acting ou ! the impression that the docking’ would certainly take place yesterday morning a United Press reporter came to this I port. The Indiana steamed up to within a short distance of the dock, but could not ■ go in unleas there wa^ 25 feet registered in I the dock. The strong westerly winds I ; that prevailed up to Saturday were l against a high tide. Another effort ] ' will be made to go into dock to-day, land if there is a good easterly wind ; there is likely to be sufficient water, i If there be no good docking to-dayf it- j ; is. likely to be delayed until the 2$th, when there will be a full moon and j | spring tide. The understanding is that the crew | of the Indiana will go through an ex- ! I tensive drilling exercise here, as there 1 are fine ranges for the guns and ex- ! cellent opportunities for target prae- j tice. There seems to be no goo^ppndation for the report that the of I the 13-inch guns was unsatisfactory; On the contrary, it is said that CapL j ; Evans is delighted with the test. j FATAL EXPLOSION. , Fear Men Killed sad Two Injured at j , RoMland, B.
