Gen. Vicente Garcia, whom the Spanish Brira-
der Morales dc las Rios declared that he had
killed IN that celebrated baltic in which nfty-
seven spaniards were slain and elghty others
wounded, has suddenly put in an appearance in
Holguln, at the head Of a body Of 100 well-armed
men, and hes spread terror throughout that cx-
tensiyc jurisdiction. Judging from the past, we
should soon hear of a series Of brilliant engage
ments on a par with those In which Gen. Garcia
defeated Brig. Morales de las Rios.
In the iurisdicticns Of Bayamo and Nanznnillo o
very severe engagements are of daily occurrence.
The volunteers Of qua and Campechuela have
been driven back right into the savanna of san

Colon and the 81, Jnd Of tAtalans In the Agudl,
and completely routed them. The Spaniard,
