nmcniOHno uiu i i • Most Important Victory Yet Won by the | Inaagenta— Pinar Del Bio Captured and ! Burned—1 he Americans with tlu-ir Gatllng and Hotchkiss Dans. Members of the Bermuda Filibustering Kxpeditiou, Do* , elded the Result of the liattk. ^kw York, March 30.—A special to 1 the Journal from Havana says: Pinar del Rio has fallen. The strong1' ! hold of the Spanish army in the westera part of the island was taken by the insurgents Saturday. There was a desperate fight, and many men on both sides are killed aud j wounded. j Only the most meager news of the battle has been received in Havana, < and the details cannot at this moment be obtained. ' ! Wh^jt news was received was sent to ; the captain general by the officer in charge of the garrison at Pinar del • Rio, after his troops had been utterly ' routed and while the insurgents were applying the torch to the caty. At the palace absolutely juothing has j been given out aud the most that can be obtained there is the confirmation j of the story that there was a fight. The Spanish officials will not state the result of the battle, nor have they furnished the local papers with an official note of it. . j This, in itself, is sufficient to confirm the report.of Spanish defeat, for tho authorities never lose any time in giving out the complete details of victories for their side. „ , I The Cuban sympathizers have received information from the scene of 1 battle. The report made to them j states that Gen. Antonio Maceo and ■ Calixto Garcia were in command of the rebel forces. J The hot fighting was done by the American artillerymen, who came to Cuba on the Bermuda filibustering ex- ; pedition fpr the express purpose of | working Axe Hotchkiss and Gatling \ guns, brought on the steamer. Without the assistance of the Americans Pinar del Rio would not have fallen. At was only their deadly fires ! sent into the town byethe Gatling and Hotchkiss gufas that won the day for the insurgents. Pinar del Rio is situated about twothirds of the distance across the island at the north aud in the extreme western province. It was a city of some 20.000 inhabitants, and the Spanish had relied upon it to afford them a base for operations in -Pinar del Rio district during the rainy season. The Spanish garrison consisted of j 4.000 men aud the attacking force had.! fully 3,000 me,u besides the sharpshoot- j ers and other skilled men of war who came on the Bermuda. Following his usual poliet* Gen. Maceo adid not hold the town. He simply destroyed it and then passed out to some other place. Exactly where he is at present is not known. The Spanish troops in the province of Pinar del Rio are now without a refuge from the rains, malaria, aud yellow fever which sweep over that part of the island during the rainy season,**which is so fatal. It is predicted that if the war extends far into the rainy season the yellow fever will carry off the Spanish troops In groups. The news of the fall of the city was brought iixto Havana by mounted couriers. They must have ridden for their lives to get there as they did, fo4 t is close to 100 miles from this ^ity.
