LONDON, October IA special dispatch
from Cartagena to the Times gives the fol-
lowing particulars of the engagement be-
tween the Spanish Government squadron,
under Admiral Lobos, and the feet of In
.transigente vessels.
Upon the appearance off the harbor of the
national squadron the Intransigente Junta
held O consultation, and decided to fight,
although they bad no hope of achieving a
victory. Some Of the garrison we're in favor
of ~surrendering the city, but a majority OF
the men, especially deserters from the Coy
eminent army, were determined upon re-
sisting to the last. General Contreras and
several members of the Junta went on board
the Numancia.. All the morning was con-
sumed by the insurgent vessels in taking in
coal and provisions.
At noon on Saturday, everything being in
readiness, four vessels weighed anchor and
sailed out of the harbor amid loud cheers
from the populace aud the insurgent troops.
After proceeding a short distance Admiral
Labos's fleet, consisting Of the VIttoria, Ala
mansc, Villa de Madrid, Carman, and two
paddle wheel steamers, were met, and all en-
gagement instantly begun. The fight lasted
two hours, when the Intransigente fleet was
defeated and driven back to Cartagena, their
vessels being badly damaged. The insur-
gents showed great spirit, but handled their
ships badly.
Additional particulars of the fight show
that the rebel ships failed to support each
other. The Numancia fired wildly. The
fanfare behaved with the greatest gallantry,
and was frequently chcered by the specta-
tors on shore, among whom were hundreds
of foreigners. She narrowly escaped cap
ture owing to her boldness in coming to
close quarters. An attempt was made by
the Government fleet to cut of her retreat,
but it failed.
A special to the Times says that General
Cabalos has ordered the people living in the
vicinity Of Cartagena to quit their homes. as
a general bombardment by sea and land
would soon be opened.
A correspondent of the Daily Netcs tele-
graphs from Cartagena that the naval action
was brought on by an attempt Of the insur.
gent feet to escape to Oran, in Algeria:
