July, in the town of Coscorro and has spread rapid

and Bayano. Although the number Of the insur.
| gents till now has not been over 1000, never
| theless, they have given good deal of trouble
to the forces of the government. They have no
arms but cutasses, blunderbusses, and piztols but
| even with these arms, in the two engagements
which they have had with the government troops,
already been advised Of the particulars Of the first
engagement, | will not alude to it here. But in
reference to the second one-the glorious 70.

we nave mad OF IT, do not agree either in the parti
cuiars OF the fight, nor in regard to the place
where 1t occurred-some saying that it took place
