THE GEM OF THE ANTILLES.

A Cracked Gem-Successful Operations Of
the Cuban Patriots--spanish Reinforce
ments ApxiOus,y Awaited.
New YORK, Nov. 16.-A Havana letter of the
9th inst. says strong party of insurgents
drove off about 300 head of cattle from Hol-
quin the 4tb, and Spanish troops were sent az
ter them unsuccessfully.. In explanation of
the above Spanish account, the patriot state
ment is that General VALERA attacked the
patriots at Barrancas, but was defeated, with a
loss of $50 killed and wounded, and re-
treated to Holquin, where he was shut up by
the patriot forces. The Spanish general, Blanco,
raised the Investment of the place, sacked sew
eral stores in the outskirts, and captured large
quantiti ties of booty. A portion of the Oubans,
about 5000 men, under Benitz, crossed into the
eastern province, captured the town of Jucaro,
WHICH THEY P1LLAaED,
established a muster camp near Los Guaz;mes,
where recruits can enroll, and headed for
Puerto Principe, where cattle and troops are
being obtained. vigorous campaign is
planned to extend to San Miguel, Baga and
Nuevitts, where sugar estates and telegraphs
will be destroyed. The patriots have sent
emissiaries to enlist white natives into the
revolutionary army. and to enforce slave gangs
from Remedies, Trinidad and Cienfuegos, to
strike work and-fepair to the mountains to en-
list with the patriots in Trinidad Valley. tits
stated a thousand yeomen are in the mountains
waiting the arrival of the Cuban force to join
it. Reinforcements, including volunteer regi-
ments, are being pushed forward from Havana
to the Spanish troops, and arrivals from Spain
are anxiouslY awaited.

consisting Of sixteen cars. which passed this
station at 40 o'clock A. NJ, was approaching
Macoupin creek, about five miles south Of THE

extra steam in order to keep out of the way of
the detached cars and went over the truss

than usual, and the result was that Just as the
engine had reached the southern end of the
bridge the structure gave way, precipitating
nine oars and the tender and cab of the engine
into the creek below. One of the brakemen,
Jno. McKeDna, of Alton, who was on one of
the front cars, was thrown into the creek,
striking his head on boulder, killing him
instantly. The engineer, Ed Malloy, and the
fireman were tumbled off the cab. The en-
gineer was terribly scalded and died about 2

Yesterday, through the courtesy of Tailor
Lemm, who acted as interpreter, we inter-
viewed the prisoner, who denied having any
thing to do with the murder, or any knowl-
edge of it until told by the deputy sheriff
when arrested. He says he left home at 2
O'Clock Monday morning, November 3d-the
day following, it will be remembered, the
discovery of the evidences of the murder bv
the neighbors-with All OK team and accom-
panied by his brother law, August
Rhemer, on q begging expedition,
reaching Long Prairie about day
light, and Sank Centre on Tues
day morning. He says he had not seen
either Galway or Steinhuber since the burn
ing of his house; had seen both last during
potato digging time. After the fire himself
and brother had lived with their sister until
they fixed their granary, in which they af-
forwards lived, and he says that when he
started away on the Sd inst. he left his
brother and Colway's wife in the granarv.
Hs says that they we're both married, having
families in Germany; Jonn had left his
wife and three children some ten years ago,
and the prisoner his wife and child last
February.
In subsequent interview, this forenoon,
he stated that on Monday, October 9th,
which evening the murder was commitied)
he was engaged in picking up nails at the
place where their building was burned, his
brother having gone to the mill to get lum-
Der to be used in building second or upper
floor in the granary; and that himself and
brother and CJlway's wife staid in the gran
airy that night. he said that for two or three
nights after the fire they staid at his sisters,
but that after that the three slept at the
granary, getting their meals at his sisters;
and that they occupied this granary until the
morning of November 3D., as previously
stated, when he left on the begging trip.
This was about mile from Steinhuber's
where the murder was committed.

acknowledged that he had received a telegram
calling him to New York at once and that Jay
Gould was the purchaser. just what this new
investment of Gould's means is q most inte-
resting conundrum here, which none are able
to solve. His purchase of the Wabash & st.
