"The argument that Cubs is loss, and no
gain, to Spain is absurd. Spain is bene.

thinks the immediate annexation of Cubs

bic weather, it may still improve. All
the crops except wheat are lux
urisnt. With good corn imported

The weather continues favorable through

WASHINGTON, August 25.-Letiers from
the Cuban revolutionary army via Key
West, contain news up to the 10th. Nc
engagement is reported since the one near
Puerto Padre on the 9Th, an account Of
which has been published. In the district
commanded by Gen. Jordan all available
Spanish force is thrown together to rein
force Valmaseda, and an early engagement
of importance may be expected between
the forces of Jordan and Valmaseda.
Gen. Jordan asserts his readiness and
desire for the contest and is confident o.
success. 1t is stated that the defeat OF
Valmaseda would virtually end the war,
az it would be impossible for Spain ever to
send troops enough to regain positions
which ihey would lose. Gen. Jordan is
placing his men in position for the fight
which was almost daily expected. 10
Gen. Quesada's command, except q few
skirmishes between small parties, il is res
ported there has been no engagements.
The Spanish troops occupy fortified po-
siLions on towns and have suffered 80
severely from thirst and other causes that
the commanders are unable to do more
than maintain their position.
HAVANA, August 25.-The insurgents
with their families to the number of six.

Murdered by n Policeman.

CINCINNATI, Aug. 25.-The Coroner
held an inquest this afternoon on the body
of John Bebb, who was killed yesterday
morning by blows from the mace of police
officer John Cottle. The evidence tended
10 show that the police officer was utterly
unjustifable, not only in dealing blows,
but in making arrest Witnesses swear
that the murdered man up TO the time of
assault was sitting quietly on the steps OF
the TowBe House. One witness saw Kim
sitting there one minute before the assault,
and attracted by the noise, went TO the
window and saw officer Cottle strike him
three blows with his club.
Several witnesses swear that the muir
dered man did not say word all the
while, and after all was over Bebb
walked 10 the stationhouse and remained
till morning, when he was taken TO hospi'
tai, where he expired fifteen hours after
the beating. A post mortem examination
showed the skull to be fractured vertically
in the region of the left temple. The I'M
fortunate man leaves a wife and three
small children, lie was twenty-seVen

that lac was intoxicated. He is said to

A passenger per the 1880 P NJ train

who seemed inclined to dispute the asser-

by the marauders, in which they were
terribly worsted, the first volley of the
posse bringing six of them down seriously
wounded. A regular battle was gone

only one of The citizens was wounded-Mr.
