MeKenzie's Fight.

CHEYENNE, WY, November 3O.-Ad-
ditional particulars of Gen. Mchinzle's
fight with theCheyennes were received st
Fetterman tonight. The victory was
most complete. The entire village with
all its winter stores of subsistence and
robes fell irto the hands of the troops,
leaving the Cheyennes, the bravest and
mcst war like band of hOs,iles, wholly
destitute in the face of rigid winter,
the contemplation of which fact caused
them to fight with desperation.
Their loss is about twenty-hv
and large number wounded. Gen
McKenzie's conduct is characterized as
brilliant, entaiiing only the loss of one
officer, Lieutenant Mckinner, OF the
Fourth Cavalry, of Memphis, Tenn,
and FIVE enlisted men killed sLd twenty
wounded. The Pawnees scouts rendered
valuable service and were richly reward
ed in the spoils. General Mckenzie
will ,oin General Crook on Crazy " o.
mans Fork, and combined attack will
be made on Crazy Horse, who is reported
TO be on the Rosebud.

Cuban question came up this week In
the Chamber of Deputies. In the course
of the debate General Salamanca made
an indirect attack on the two command
era in Cuba, which called forth severe
retorts from the Prime Minister and
Minister of War. The former said that
the ministry had asked the Cortez to
give the guarantee Of Spain to a loan to
enable 10000 soldiers under General
Compss to crush the rebellion.
At this General Requeslme sprang up
and insisted that after deduCtlng the
sick and an army of occupation, General

men. Debate was brought to an abrupt
close. Much anxiety prevails smo G
those connected with maritime affairs,
over rumors of an appearance on the
