irving from Cuba tonight say that Col
onel Rego, in an engagement eight days
ago near Cumanayagua, Cienfuegos, cap
tured sixteen prisoners. Rego notified
the Spanish authorities to send for them.
Tho authorities dispatched a aommi ittee
consisting of Colonel Vale. Captain Rios,
two lieutenants. a doo'or and priest,
who received the pisonerrs from Rego
and gave him o formal receipt for them.
Radical Spaniards are greatly disrleased
with Valle for treating with the insurg-
ents and practically recognizing them as
belligersnts. They would rather see the
prisoners die. The force of Colonel Mo-
lima had an engagement with Locretia
insurgent forces in Las Villes Thursday.
A passenger stated that the Span iards
who were in the engagement told him
Molina and 100 Spaniards we're killed.

announcen that but one officer and seven
soldiers had been. killed.
