The Latter Make a Brave Fight,
But Suffer Defeat,
LEAVING EIGHT HUNDRED DEAD
MEN OH THE FIELD.
Insurgents Secure All the Arms and
Ammunition of the Conquered
Army-The Most Important Fight
Since the Revolution in Cuba Was
Started.

NEW YORK, Oct. 25.-The Times viii
print tomorrow the following from
Key West:
News received here to-day states that
General Maceo has, by forced marches.
reached the province of Matanzas and
that last Monday, with 5000 Cubans. he
engaged cavalry force of z, 500 Spanlards
in the San Juan Valley. Early in the
morning the insurgeDt outposts brought
news of the approach of Spanish cavalry.
General Maceo at once placed his army
in position TO receive she enemy. hoI-
low square was formed and force OF one
thousand men placed in smbush. The
Spanish forces, unaware of the presence
of the enemy, marched into the trap OF
death, and were only apprlsed OF their
perilous position when the insurgents
opened fire. The Spaniards made brave
fight, but owing to the thickness OF the
forest and the boggy condition OF the val
ley, the cavalry were greatly handl-
capped. After a struggle OF four hours,
the Spanish troops were forced TO retreat,
leaving 500 men dead on the field.
The insurgents secured all the arms
and ammunition of the dead Spaniards.
This battle is the most important fight
since the revolution started. The Cuban
colony here is wild with joy.
Private advices confirm the report of
the landing of an expedition in Cuba
under the leadership of Colonel Carrillo.
The expedition was landed at Boco del
Toro, and consisted OF iorty-eight men,
seventeen pieces OF artillery anG two
Gatling guns. This is part of the ex-
pedition which was recently arrested at

Woada's Signal gives very appalling
instance of the want of Difference in

Professor Tait's class. to which the Pro-
fessor was lecturing on solid geometry, is
assigned TO eight students OF the fair SO X.

Professor, 'is a body with eight plain
