THE BALTIMORE G. OHIO.

In regard to tho item In yesterday'a Tribune
about tho tlif1lcultios Of tho baltimore i Ohio
Railroad in crossing tho tract. Of tho Michigan
Central Railroad, 6upt. Sargent, Of the latter
road, states TINT t1oy hare tHolro railroad crosB
ings at grndo ut which all thor trains, according
to iaw. and BY tho law Of safety, havo to como to
a full stop. These twelve crossings delay tho

tral ou MI average Of at loast avo minutes ror
atop, Or one hour In oyory trip botwoon Chicago

nus, aud woro long ago abandoned in England.
During tue last winter q law NaH passed i'll tho
crossings whcre either party objected. It was
simply to avoid tho necessity Of another stop,
and additional hnzard to tho trains OF cithor
road, t!sat the Michigan Central remonstretes
With the nanagera Of tao Baltimore Ohio
against this crossing at gradc.
Tic Presidents Of botl roads, nfter Interviews
in which both agreed ag to the deBirability Of
avoiding the,grado-ornsainEs, directed their Chicf
Engineers to meet E1ld mutually arrange to avoid

Particulars OF the Three Day -
Fight.
New YORK, April liza Havana letter
gives a synopsis of the official statement
of the action at Guasmas. 1t appears
that the first and third brigades, under
command of Brigadier Armenian, en-
countered the enemy on the 18th at
at Guasinas, sustaining severe action,
which lasted until the 18th. The Cubans
were charged with great bravery by
the Spanish cavalry. On the first day
the Cubans suffered great losses, and
were obliged to retire, permitting the
Spanish column to encamp upon the
battle field. Renewed attacks of the
former on the 10th aud 18th ceased en-
tirely upon the arrival or Brigadier
Bascones with two battalions and one
piece of artillery. Bascones took the
command and directed his march toward
the capital Of the department, with the
object of procuring rations for the
troops and treatment for the wounded.
At Gimagusyn the Cubans were
beaten. The loss Of the Spanish in this
engagement was officer and 6 others
killed; officers and % soldiers were
wounded. The insurgents in this en-
counter suffered greatly, leaving on the
field dead and various horses, besides
arms and ammunition. In the action Of
Guasmas there we're a number Of bodies
left on the field, but the insurgents car
ried away very many. The Spanish loss
was officers and IS soldiers killed; !
chief, 10 officers and SO soldiers
wounded, and chief, 10 officers and los
men slightly injured Colonel Denique
who was badly injured in the action Of
Gzasmas,l has since died from the ef-
fects Of amputation.

New YORK, April ll.-Captain Bart
lett, Of the whaling steamer Panther, ar
rived at St. Johns, Newfoundland, yes
terday, and gives the following account
of his meeting with the Tigress and a
story of terrible disaster on board of
that vessel as told him by her officers:
Con Friday, the Sd inst, the Panther
was in longitude so 10 west, latitude
500 30 north, on her return to st. John s.;
the lookout reported steamer appa-
rently moving only under sail, with her
flags at halfmast. After signalling her
l went on board myself, when discov-
cred her to be the steamer Tigress, OF
Polar fame. Her captain and chief
officers were on deck. / was then in
formed that on Thursday, April I'd, at
two o'clock in the afternoon, the vessel
was shaken all over by a terrific explo-
sion of her boilers, creating great terror
and confusion, as the steam completely
enveloped every compartment below, and
in consequence all the steam facilities
had been destroyed, and they had then
been under sail against head wind
twenty-five hours. When / reached the
deck Of the Tigress number of men
were mailing together rough pine boards;
asked the commander what they were for,
and he said they were designed for re-
ceiying the bodies of the unfortunate
men who had been killed by the acct
dent. On the day Of the explosion the
weather was dreadfully cold, with a stiff
breeze blowing and a heavy swell on.
A number of men had gone below after
watch, and had turned in on top Of the
boilers for the sake of warmth. Nine
teen Of the crew we're reposing in this
way when the accident occurred, and
some of them were literally scalded be-
yond recognition. The CONSERVATION
was fearful Two engineers were on
