1t is reported by persons favor Castahi-
lista that, although the engagement was
really nothing more than a skirmish, the
revolutionists were put to fight and forced
to flee to the hills, where they are endeav-
oring to reorganize their scattered forces.
This favorable account of tile Castihistas
is not confirmed by the news which h comes
from those in. sympathy with the revolu-
tionists. The account which they send
from San Eugenie says that the engage
ment was not decisive.
1t occurred late in the afternoon and at
nightfail the revolutionists retired.
General Hypolite, who commanded the
Castilhista forces. sent detachment under
General Lima in pursuit Of the fleeing
revOlutionists
Operating together with their cavalry
troops, Generals Travarez and Salgado are
