SPAN|ARDS ENTER A TRAP, i,
At Least Five Hundred Soldiers
Perished Under the Fire
of Insurgents.
General Campos' Re.enforcements Ar.
irving and He Hopes to Speedily
End the War. .

BOSTON, MASS, Nov. 16.-A special
dispatch to morning paper from Santiago
de Cuba, dated the 4th inst, says: A re-
port has reached this city that big battle
was fought on October p, in the country
west of Puerto Principe, between large
division of the insurgents army and the
interior and the first division OF the Span
ish army in the field. The insurgents were
led by General Gomez and the noted rebel
guerrilla chief Rolof They had taken
possession of all the large cane plantations
in the region and had erected earthworks
and mines over the whole country so as
to render it almost impossible.
The Spanish were under the lead of Gen
erals Vislarco and Gracenilles of General
Campos' staff. The division was composed
of 30D0 men, three field batteries and four
troops of cavalry. Since the close of the
rainy season the Spanish cavalry has been
the cause of great annoyance to the insur-
gents and has in a great measure put a
stop to desultory raiding and plundering
The regulars advanced cautiously and sue
ceeded IN driving back the outer works of
the insurgents near Dos Gracios Maria and
capturing field battery.
On penetrating further into the mount
aims and the treacherous canebrakes they
found that they had fallen into a trap.
They were attacked by foes on every hand
without being able to strike back. General
VisIarco at once ordered a retreat. The
field batteries ploughed the surrounding
forest and plantations with a constant
stream of grape and kept the insurgents at
a safe distance, and the retreat was effected
in good order, although large number
fell.
The insurgents made another attack on
the main body near the plantation of
Serella Blanca. The Spanish cavalry.
however, proved too much for them, and
caused them to seek the shelter of the
forests.
The Spanish loss was nearly 300 men,
while il is thought that the insurgents lost
nearly that amount by the destructive
cannonading and the fierce attacks of the
cavalry.
Another dispatch from Havana says
that the re-enforcements from Spain have
been sighted by incoming vessels, and that
they will be landed before the week is
over. General Campos states that with
these men garrisoned SO as to protect the
capital be will throw his whole acclimated
army into the field and fight the insurgents
to speedy end.
