A DECISIVE BATTLE.

SPANIARDS AND CUBANS PREPARE FOR A FIGHT. The Contest Expected to Settle the Revolution One Way or the Other — Maximo Gomez Now Moving Hie Troops in Santa Clara Havana, Nov. 14.—The statement cabled to the Correspondencia of Madrid from this city that Maximo Gomez had been routed is not true. Gomez has not been attacked hy the Spanish forces. Gen. de Campot is now at his headquarters, the city of Santa Clara, laying out a plan of campaign which should result in a big engagement between the Spanish troops and the insurgents under Gomez. It is thought probable that this will be the decisive battle of the war in Cuba. Maximo Gomez, with 4,000 followers, according to reports received by official circles here, has left Siguanca, and is moving in the direction of the Remedies district.
