SEVERE BATTLE AT LAS M1NAs - DEFEAT
OF THE SPANIARDs.

Va AA~- ANANA-AA'A>h's
HANANA, May -, via KEY WEST, Fla,
May 13.-Private letters have been re
ceived from Rebel sources, giving &C.
counts of another battle between the
Spanish troops and the insurgents 1t
took place on the Sd inst, at Las Min
as. The Spaniards numbered 1000,
and were under the command of Gen.
Lesca. The revolutionary force was
commanded by Gen. Quesada in person.
One report says, before the fighting
commenced Quesada posted the native
Cubans in front protected by intrench-
ments, and placed force of 400 Do
minician and American volunteers in
their rear, with orders to fire upon
them if they ran. Thus placed between
two fires, the Cubans fought with des-
peration. The Spaniards attacked the
intrenchments three times with the
bayonet. The two first assaults were
repulsed by the Cubans ; the third was
very determined and severe, and the
Cubans began to waver, when Quesada
ordered the rear guard to the front.
They advanced, driving the Cubans in
to the front ranks of the enemy. A
hand-to- hand combat ensued, in which
the butchery was horrible. The Span
iards finally gave way and retreated,
but in good order. Their loss is esti-
mated at 160 killed and 800 wounded ;
that of the Cubans at 200 killed and a
proportionable number wounded. The
forces of Quesada after the fight march
to San Miguel and burned the town in
sight of the retreating Spaniards. 1t
is generally believed that the revolu-
tionary leaders have changed their pol
icy in the field, and in future will fight
instead of retreating to the mountains
on the appearance of any considerable
force of Government troops.
In the battle of Altagracia, which
took place on the 1st instant, the Cuban
loss was 200, and the Spanish $50 killed
and wounded. The Spaniards here re-
gard the result of these actions as fatal
to the cause of the rebellion, but the
Cubans are jubilant over them as the
first great success of the war for indie
pendence.

CINCINNATI, OHIO, May, 13.-At o
secret session of the Grand Army of
the Republic, yesterday afternoon, a
question arose whether the delegates
from the States in arrearages for dues
to the National Encampment should be
admitted to the floor. Illinois and
Missouri were in this predicament. In
the course of debate Mr.. Davis of Hi
nois said he had no apology to give nor
favor to ask but he said he would
either come here with full rights or not
at all. He spoke for the three posts in
Chicago. Although they had been
negligent in their dues, yet during the
past year they had raised $12, 900, and
had supported the widow and orphan
of the soldier with the same. The ar
rearage test was promptly dropped.
The acknowledgements report showed
that there were in the United States 81
departments of the Grand Army of the
Republic and 1850 posts.
The national encampment of the
Grand Army of Republic met in secret
session at o'clock this morning.
Chaplain. General Quint introduced
resolution proposing that the Grand
Army of the Republic should form a
life insurance and annuity corporation.
The motion was adopted and referred
to the Special Committee.
A private session was held from four
till five o'clock this afternoon. Gen.
John A. Logan was elected Comman-
der.in-Chief. Gov. Fairchilds of Wis
consin was chosen Senior Vice Com
mander. DIR. S. P. Wylie Mitchell was
elected Surgeon General for the United
States. The Rev. A. H. Quint was
chosen Chaplain-in-chief.
The meeting adjourned at o'clock.
The next meeting will be held in Wash
ington, d. c., ON the second Wednes
day in May. During the session reso,
lutions disvowing that any political OBJ
ject pertains to the organization were
passed. A banquet was given at the
Spencer House this evening.

COOPERATION Washington cor
respondent of the Newark Advertiser
writes
Cooperative stores have been tried in
Washington, and, as in other cities,
have proved failures generally having q
short run before sinking the capital and
bankrupting the association; but plan
sometime since adopted by the Govern
ment Printing Association appears to
be working successfully and proftably
to all parties interested. and is worthy of
trial elsewhere. The Association num-
bers several hundred members, the
charge of admission being only twenty
five cents, with no subsequent dues to
be paid. No store has been opened by
the Society, no risks are run, and but
little expense incurred. the receipts for
admission covering all the outlay. For
the supply of the members with grocer
les, provisions, etc, the officers of the
Society contract with the merchants
who will sell at the smallest profit.
= Under this system the members procur-
ed their winters fuel, last season, con-
siderably below the market rates, and
are enabled to procure all their supplies
ut from 10 to Is per cent, below the
current prices, though purchasing in
the same quantities and at their conve-
nience. Their present contract with
their grocer provides that he shall sell
all articles to members at cost with the
addition of certain per centage, rang
ing in the various articles from s to s
per cent. On some few standards,
when the margin is small, there is COM
paratively little saving to the members
but on most goods the difference is
marked, running as high as so per cent
on articles upon which grocers usually
make large profits. This store is now
doing business of $4,000 month,
largely the patronage OF the association.
Other merchants prophesy its collapse,
but even in that event the association
loses nothing, and the patronage of the
society can be transferred to another
bidder. The plan has many advanta-
ges over the unsuccessful cooperative
system, and will be likely to be gener.
ally accepted in lieu of it.

fA"aHAs1I4 JOKE. IA ghabtly joke. il

AGHAsILY JOKE "A ghastly joke is
reported from New Orleans. A young
doctor of that city paid his addresses to
a LADY, who, among other curiosities in
her parlor, had q human skull, to which
tho physician took wonderful fancy,
and repeatedly solicited her for it. Somo
mornings since, he was agreeably sur
prised by receiving from his young lady
friend beautiful looking pudding, with
her compliments. He sent it at once. to
his room mate, an apothecary, with in
sttuctions to have it for dinner that day.
Attend, dropping in at meal time, was
invited to dine. and accepted. in consi-
defation Of the fne pudding which was
promised. After the meat dinner, the
pudding-which appeared very Chef
d'9uve-.was brought on, and the trio
united in praise Of its excellence. In
deed, they one and all asserted that there
was peculiarly agreeable flavor about
it; which one thought lemon, another
vanilla. The doctor insisted on reple-
nlshing the saucers of his friends, and
was about to help himself o second time,
when he struck, with the knife, hard
substance. Pushing his explorations
further, he fished up, to his horror, q
grinning skull-the very skull he had so
often vainly importuned his lady friend
to give him. That dinner party adjourn
ed with wonderful rapidity, and with
ff1ghtful exclamations.
