New Haven. The procession resumed their
march, passing through the principal streets,
which were densely crowded on either side
by thousands of spectators, who had gather
ed from the surrounding towns, anxious to
get glimpse Of the nations heroes. The
enthusiasm was intense from all quarters,
and waving flags and handkerchiefs fluttered
from every window and house-top.
Gen. Sheridan was by far the most attrac.
tive feature in the line, his hand being con-
tinually extended from the carriage in which
he rode, and eagerly grasped by hundreds Of
his comrades of war. As the procession
neared the green battery of artillery fired
a national salute, and the President shortly
after took seat on the grand stand to wit

Fighting in Spain.

Aspecal from London to the New York
Herald contains the following:
The battle at Puente de Evaul, near Stella,
in Navarro. May 5, was the most important
yet fought, and was a complete victory for
Dorregaray. Four days previously the
Carist troops were surprised at Pena Cerra-
da by government column and retreated
towards the mountains with the greatest pre-
ciptstion. Other government forces coop
Grating joined in the pursuit. Thus five col
umns encouraged by the Carlists' fight pur-
sued them with such energy that Dorregaray
in 60 hours marched his men forty eight
miles,
On the fourth day the Carlist troops were
completely broken down, but the government
troops were completely distanced, excepting
only one column under Col. Novara, COM
posed of regular troops with a battery Of ar
tillery.
Dorregaray contrived to turn suddenly,
probably to deliver a blow to cripple this
force. He consequently formed a line OF
battle at Puenta Erault, on range of low
hills partly covered With scrub oaks and char
paral.
He had almost 5000 men in position. The
centre was commanded by Lizarraga. the left
by Elio and the right by Dorregaray. The
government troops on coming up occupied
the higher ground, which gave their artillery
command Of the Carlist position and the
sweep of the ground between. The Carlists
J had no artillery. The skirmishers Of the
government felt the Csrist line for some
hours.
! At three o'clock in the afternoon the gov
! eminent troops advanced handsomely, sup
ported by fire from the artillery, which
| although not very destructive, made the Carl
| ;sts who have exaggerated respect for can
non, very uneasy even while doing but little
harm When the government advance first
came within range Lizarraga's men opened
from the chapparal an exceedingly destruc-
tive ire, which staggered the line and broke
the advance of the force, and compelled
them to relinquish part Of the ground already
gained. but the troops preserved perfect or
der and the skirmish line kept the fellows in
the chapparal busy.
When the battle ragged at this point, Elio,
who overlapped the government right, made
his way through the chapparal, thus getting
well on the flank of the government force
