PORTED.
In All Engagements Less Than GA Men

Thrilling Victories.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-The
Spanish minister has received the
following advices from Havana:
"a few bands Of insurgents are
marauding to the north of
Tarucco with the intention of d.
verting the attention of the troops
and to permit Gomez and Maceo to
cross the Matanzas and to enter
the elena Ga Desapita. The roads
to it are guarded, by the commands
of Echague and Francis.
zone OF the insurgent bands
entered the town OF San Antonio
de la Rio Blanco and was defeated
by Gusanajsra battalion that came
from Mayaru. The enemy lost
three killed, four prisoners and
eight horses and arms and NUM-
lions Of war. They carried away
several wounded.
Col. Segura, accommodating be-
tween Catalina and Guenes, cap

ga small command, organized
by the commander Of the Mariana

three, and captured fourteen men

Col. Fortuna, who combined oper-
atoms with Generals Aldecoa and
Linarez, and Col. Hernandez, met
in the night when passing the
river opposite De Aqua, the band Of
Msceo retreatlng after having been
defeated by Col. Hernadez. The
engagement lasted one hour, and
six of the enemy's men were
killed. The government troops
arrived at Catalina late in the

Knowing by the report of a spy
that the enemy was at the plaEta-
ton Of Ell Cato, Col. Fortuna went
to meet them. About two miles
and half from the plantation
strong groups Of the enemy began
firing with the intention of deceiv-
ing the government troops, but
Col. Fortuna pursued his way to
the plantation and was met by the
fire of the enemy, who were en-
trenched In strong position
formed In half circles according to
their usual tactics. The troops
dislodged them from the sides by
the fire OF the artillery. The
center was taken by the infantry.
The enemy made a last stand in
the ruins of a house that was
stormed by troops Of the Piearno
regiments and two companies Of
the Veraga battalion. The losses
of the enemy were ten killed and
left on the field and about thirty

AMERICANS In CHARGE.
HAVE ENGINEERING CONTROL OF
THE LAND.
Paul Kruegers Innocence" Government
Watches the Main 0hance-Richest
Mines In the World.

NEW YORK, February 24.-E. F.
Wiltze, of California, is registered
at the Waldorf. He was assist
ant engineer of the famous May
Consolidated, and other miners
in Africa, of which John Ham,
mond, now under arrest, was the
chief.
Mr.. Wiltze is thoroughly posted
in the Transvaal affairs, having
lived several years in and around
johannesburg, and his SYM
pathies are all with the Nitland-
ers.
81 presume" said Mr.. Wiltze,
last night, "what you most par
ticularly want to know about is
the American element in the
Transvaal. Well the Americans
are not numerous but they are
most influential, and may add,
popular with the Beers, while the
English are, naturally enough,
hated. And here / may remark
that many ofthe raiders might have
entertained annexation ideas when
they followed DR.. Jameson. The
American element did not, and l
believe, in fact know, that the
movement was one in the direc-
ton of reform. / left the country
before the raid, butt, as everyone
else, knew that trouble of some
kind was brewing, for the reason
that the state Of things was grow
ing more and more intolerable to
the Nitlanders or foreigners.
GAS for my friend, John Hays
Hammond, he is an American in
heart and soul, and would never
think OF having to do with a move
ment locking to the overthrow Of
even an oligarchial republic. He IL
of the same calibre es DR.. jameson
and the men generally who are
making out of the sterile Transvaal
one of the richest and most pros
porous regions on the earth's sur
face, with a splendid future. L
could speak more specifically OF
matters in the Transvaal from in
side knowledge 1 possess, but pru-
dence compells me to silence. The
concessions lately granted to three
Beers companies 60 to show that
the so-called Innocence admins
tration' of Paul Kruger has an
eye to the main chance and is not
lacking in sordid interest.
"In conclusion, may say that
the American element in South
Africa is one of beneficience. 1t
takes in the most influential and
progressive of the population and
has, in an engineering sense, con-
troll of tho Rand mines, which are
the richest OF the whole world.
However, they are not half devel-
oped nor will they be until the
Transvaal has a more liberal gov
eminent. AS to the future no
man known what it will bring
forth, though we can all guess.
That there will be vast changes is
certain"

STREET RAILWAY DOMINATION
DENOUNCED BY EXCITED OLEVE'
LAND, OHIO, CITIZENS.
Willing to Hang Legislators Who Mix UI
in Robbing the People of
Their Rights.

CHICAGO, Feb. "a. "A special
dispatch from Cleveland, Ohio,
saws: ''There was an exciting, and
at times, incendiary meeting of
the Washington Reform club last
night. The fifty-year-old street
railway franchise was the subject.
1t was denounced as the most in
famous piece of attempted robbery
that ever confronted the people OF
this state.
Thomas Fitzsimmons said that
if it passed, and any Of the Cuya-
hoga delegates voted for it, he
would join the crowd to hang the
guilty parties to the most convent
emit lamp posts. He said he meant
lust what he said, and was serious.
To hang one of the jobbers would
be to stop such infamous work for
many years to come, he declared.
Ed. Vail said he would also help
to adorn a lamp post with any leg
islator who would dare vote for
the bill.
There were other such speakers,
and amid great excitement the
members shouted that they could
find a method of disposing of any
Of the Cuyahoga delegation who
dared to vote for the extension.
A strongest kind of resolution
was then adopted, condemning the
measure.
A resolution was adopted that
the Washington Reform club atone
for the action of the Chamber OF
Commerce in blackballing Andrew
Carnegie by making Mr.. Carnegie
an honorary member of the club.
Mr.. Rankin proposed in add1-
ton the names Of Mr.. Carnegie,
John NJ. Pullman, John Rockefel-
Ter and H. G.. Prick as honorary
mem bers of the club. The motion
was put and Messrs. Carnegie,
Pullman, Prick and Rockefeller
were unanimously elected to hon.
orary membership.

Gen. Mcmahon said last night,

private secretary, was urging the

and the bringing Of the homes I'M
der the control Of the war depart

general, 'that the old soldiers are

The board made thorough inves-
tigation of that report year ago.
Col. Andy Smith, governor Of the
Leavenworth home, who is a Kee-

for the establishment Of a Keely
cure branch at the Leavenworth
home. 1t decreased drunkenness
there fifty per cent since then. A
