Defeat Of Generals Cabral and Luperon
by the Forces Of Baez.
Loss In Killed, Wounded and Miss
ing Not Very Heavy.
TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD.

HAVANA, April s, 1871.
A severe battle was fought near Aqua, st.
Domingo, on the 7th Of March between the
forces Of Cabral and valentin Baez. The
opposing armies consisted of ten generals
and about 400 troops on each side. General
Timothy Orgando marched from the line
of Neyba and attacked the forces Of Baez,
driving them before him, but Cabral failing to
act in concert the whole movement proved
failure.
The official report of General Baez to the
Minister Of War, in which he claims COM
plete victory, states that Cabrals infantry fed
to the woods and were followed by the Domi-
nican Generals Wenceslao, Figueras, Jose
Jimenez Bejo and Lucas Jiminez, with some
officers of the staff, to the river side. Cabral
abandoned all his provisions and bag contain
ing five thousand dollars in Haytien currency.
He had many wounded, but left only two dead
on the battle 6eld-one Haytien and the
other a nephew of Marcus Adam. Two
prisoners and fifteen horses were captured,
one native Of Hayti. Among the ten
generals composing Cabrals forces, three
named Camolien, Antoine Colas and Boube-
are Haytien.
General Luperon was defeated on the 18th
of March at place called Partido, in the
jurisdiction of Savaneta. Many Haytiens and
Dominicans were killed-among them Severe
Gomez, who has thus fallen victim to-
Luper0n's ambitious schemes. Among the
prisoners captured were the rebel Colonies
Andres Lozaro and Sylvester Cabrera, Gene
raj Ignacio Rsvira (mortally wounded) and
Manuel Rodriguez, the assassin of General
Joven Barriento. Four hundred dollars in
money, fourteen horses, eight needleguns,
many carbines, cloaks, clothing and twelve
loads of ammunition were captured during
the fight of Luperon's forces. The latter
even lost his seal of state.
Owing to alleged completely with Luperon,
Francisco Coll, Cuban, living at Puerto
Plata, has been expelled the country.
General Valentin Perez also claims vic
tory over Orgando on the line of Neyba.
Cabral's friends at ST. Thomas acknowledge he
was defeated, but say that only his vanguard
was engaged; but it is the the general opinion
that Baez's forces had the advantage in all the
encounters.
