INSURGENTS MET DEFEAT,
Lost One of the Biggest Battles
Fought in the Cuban
War.
But in Two Smaller Engagements They
Drove the Spanish Back to
Their Garrison.

BOSTON, MASS, Nov. 23.-A dispatch
to a morning paper brings the following
intelligence concerning the progress of the
war in Eastern Cuba. The dispatch,
which is dated Santiago de Cuba, the 18th
inst, says that news of three big battles in
the eastern part of the island has Just
reached that city. General Maceo himself
has for the present given up his attempted
advance in the direction of Havana and is
now combining himself to the managing of
operations in the east, while General
Gomez, with the army of the east and the
department of the interior, is holding the
Spanish in check in the province of Santa
Clara and the mountains of the west.
The first of the big battles was fought on
the 18th inst. near Barre. A strong
division OF the Spanish army of the east,
which had been operating in the vicinity
in driving out the small bands of guerrillas
who had been tearing up the railroad
tracks and causing considerable annoyance
to the Spanish outposts were met near the
Tundas Pass by two divisions of the insur-
gents. The Spaniards were led by Major
Camillos, formerly in charge of the
garrison at Matanzas. They had with
them heavy field battery and two troops
of cavalry.
The insurgents had the advantage of
position and sought to bring the regulars
to a fight in the mountains. Major Ca
millos, however, decided not to risk his
men, and shelled the woods and the face
of the hills in which the insurgents had
intrenched themselves. The woods caught
fire iii several places, and the insurgents
were forced into the open country, where
they met heavy rifle fire and also very
destructive one from the batteries. After
nearly six hours hard fighting they were
put to fight, losing over 500 of their men.
The Spanish loss was very slight.
This battle is one of the severest reverses
that the insurgents have met since the
opening OF the struggle. The other two
battles fought on the 18th inst near San
tiago de Cuba were smaller and IN each
the insurgents gained the mastery, driving
the Spanish forces into the garrison at
Santiago de Cuba.
Another dispatch states that the new
system of forming a Gordon of warships
around the island is proving very disas-
trous to the insurgents and that some
method will have to be devised to send in
arms and ammunitions of war as with the
severity OF the struggle that is now in
progress large amount is needed.

FIVE VILLAGES RA|DED,
Kurds Continued Their Raids
on the Prosecuted
ArmenianS.
The Porte Denies Minister Terrell'S
Request for a Cruiser at
Constantinople.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Nov. pa special
cablegram to the Herald from Vienna says {:
Dispatches received from Turkey state that
the Kurds, in violation of the order of the
Sultan, have massacred the inhabitants of
five more Armenian villages.
The Emperor, fearing still further to
weaken the prestige of the Sultan, refuses
to send an additional gunboat to Constan-
tinople, and has ordered the Austrian EN-
bassador to observe policy of the greatest
reserve in order not to contribute to the
possible deposition of the Sultan. The
accord between the powers is still perfect.
LONDON. ENG. Nov. 23.-The repre-
sentative of The United Press in Constan-
tinople telegraphs under yesterdays date
that it is officially announced that the
Armenians inhabiting the villages near
Adena have surrendered their arms and
kissed the hands of the Governor in token
of their submission to the authority of the
Government.
The Government has offered a reward
for information leading to the detection of
persons distributing or exposing in public
places placards or posters menacing Ar
menians. The Government adds in an

DIE7Z FIRED FIVE SHOTS.
E. Bancroft Formerly of Los Angeles, At
tackled in His Office at Charles
ton. West Hiroinin.

CHARLESTON, w. VA, Nov. 23.-This
afternoon John K. Dietz walked into the
law office of c. w. Hall and fired five shots
at E. Bancroft, four of them taking effect.
1t is believed Bancroft will die from his
injuries. Bancroft has been here about
two months as general agent for the Cali
fornia Sherbet Company of Los Angeles
and engaged Dietz as local agent.
Bancroft and his wife have been board
ing with Dietz, and dispute arose, each
claiming that the other was in his debt.
They were soldiers together in the Second
Virginia Regiment, and the story is that
Dietz saved Bancrofts life when he had
been court-martialed and sentenced to be
shot.
This was thirty years ago, and the two
men never met from that time until about
two months ago, when they received e, CHI
other with open arms. Dietz denies this
story and claims that Bancroft's true
name is Castle. 1t is also said that he is
best known as Red Morgan, who came
from GAINESVILLE, Ohio, travelled with the
Barnum circus as a lion tanner and has
since had a varied career. After the shoot
ing Dietz surrendered himself.

will be introduced in the Bundesrath is
described in it's preamble as provisional
measure, which is to be used as means in
exerting pressure during the proposed in
ternational negotiations looking to the
abolition of sugar bounties. The bill pro-
poses to increase the bounties from ~
ton of sugar. Even the semi-official
newspapers criticize the measure in a
doubtful way and demand that guarantees
shall be given that the high bounty shall
endure for fixed period and terminate at
the expiration of that time. These journals
also ask how the imperial treasury is to
stand the strain of such bounties, and
further inquire: If the bounties are asso-
ciated with tax upon home consumption
in order to provide for the expenditures
necessary to pay the bounties will not
home consumption decrease, though the
export increase?
The Emperor has announced that he
will attend the Mcneil Jubilee celebration
at Kroll's Theater on December Is. The
Berlin on January Is, the twenty-fifth an
niversary of the proclamation of King
Villa m of Prussia as German Emperor at
Versailles, and all of the German officers
who were present at the ceremonies in the
palace of Versailles have been summoned
to be in attendance. In the evening there
will be grand banquet and fete at the
castle. to which all the German princes
and the officers who were present at YER
sailles have been invited.
A committee OF medical experts, pre-
sided over by Prince Won HohenIohe, has
decided upon the creation OF several free
hospitals for patients afflicted with lung
diseases. The hospitals are to be partly
supported by the State. Subcommittee
have been formed for the purpose of form
ulating plans.
The Post expresses regret that Germans
should have assisted in the triumph of
Tammany Hall in the recent election in
New York. Though enforced temper
ance," the Post says, 'can only lead to
clandestine drinking, it is not pleasant to
find that the decisive factor for Germans in
political fight is beer"

Yam Alem May Soon Yield to Colonel
Colts Terms.
PROVIDENCE, R. l., Nov. 23.-An i'm
portant announcement is made here in
connection with the Colt case, which seems
to foreshadow complete winding up of
the affair, providing the Van Allen end of
the case can be adjusted to the satisfaction
of Colonel Colt.
A meeting in New York yesterday of
the mutual friends of the principals did
not produce the result that had been
hoped for. Another conference was ar
ranged for tomorrow, and in this con-
ference James j. Van Allen will be repre-
sented by friends, who hope to act in
conjunction with the Colt arbitrators, the
three sides meaning to pull together in
one common cause the complete settle
ment of the affair.
If such settlement is made, it is as
serted here on authority, it will be wholly
upon such terms as Colonel Colt may
name, and that the Van Allen end of the
case will be thrown into the scale by him
to make weight for his side.
