RECOVERY OF ANOTHER BODY
The | ody of Charles E. Shaw, one of the
victims Of the free-bridge disaster, was re-
covered from the waters of the James river
yesterday, the stream having sufficiently
receded to permit explorations on the
rapids. It was found under the wreck Of
the bridge, portions of the homework
weighing it down. Mr.. Joseph Shaw,
the father of the young man, who has been
untiring in his exertions for the recovery of
the body of his son, was present, and took
charge of the remains, which will be taken
to Stony Greek, Sussex county, where the
family reside. Coroner Taylor declined
holding an inquest, deeming that held over
the remains of Harrison a few days since
sufficient as establishing the facts as to the
accident and its victims.

received. The troupe will appear again to-
night.

NKW YORK, Nov. lO.-A private letter from
Trustworthy source, dated Havana, 9Th, says An
official telegram Was yesterday received at the
palace from Puerto Principe Of an engagement
between a Spanish force aud column OF insurgents

gsh hWsrO severely beaten, losing twenty Killed
aRd eighty taken prisoners.
The SpanIsh commander caused all OF the pris-

upOn hearing OF It took the command away from
the Spanish commander and arrested him, t3le-
EpaphIng the event to the captain general. The
latter immediately telegraphed to Puerto Principe
causing she Oommandsr to bs rsInstated, and or

here that the Governor feels undue sympathy to-
