\ BIG BATTLE WON.
NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-News is
received at the state department
that General Maceo has by forced
marches reached the province Of
MatanZas.
On last Monday 5000 Cubans en-
gagged a cavalry force of $500
Spaniards in the San Juan valley.
A hollow square was formed and
1000 men placed in ambush. The
Spanish forces, unaware of the
presence of the enemy, marched in
to the death trap. They made a
brave fight, but owing to the thick
ness of the forest and the Doggy
condition of the valley, the caval-
ry was handicapped. After a
struggle lasting four hours the
Spanish troops were forced to re-
treat, leaving 800 dead on the field.
The insurgents secured all the
arms and ammunition of the dead.
This battle is the most important
since the breaking out of the revo-
luton. The Cuban colony here is
wild with joy.
