WEYLER’S NARROW ESCAPE.

Dorse Shot Under the Spanish General by a Cuban Sharpshooter. New York, Special: A Key West special to the World says: “As Generai Weyler was marching with his columns Just before entering Santa Clara his horse was shot under him by a Cuban sharpshooter. It is supposed the shot came from a distant hillside. Throughout the march from Rodas the captaingeneral was assailed by missiles of this kind, and several times barely escaped being wounded. He is greatly worried over it, and large scouting parties precede the advance of the Spanish columns to capture the daring marauders. "A Spanish force of 5,000 was am-

bushed Wednesday night near Nazarene, just west of Santa Clara, where Generhl Weyler was then, and narrowly escaped annihilation.”
