KY wEsT, May i.-Advices Just re-
ceived here state that a victory has been
won by the insurgents commanded by
Calixto Garcia In the province Of santi-
ago dc Cuba. Garcia's troops fell on
the Spanish column commanded BY
General Munzo and almost annihilated
them. The battle occurred on the bank
Of the river Cauta. General Garcia was
moving west with 1000 men, intending
TO cross the river. Munzo, who was At
Manzanillo, decided 10 prevent Garcia
from crossing. He led $500 Spanish
soldiers out Of ManzAnillo and ordered
gunbOats 10 proceed up the river TO Co
operate.
Garcia heard Of Munzo's movements
and effected a junction with the col
umns Of Rabia and Rodinghaus, there
BY increasing the forces under his CON-
mand TO nearly $500 men. Garcia sta
toned his men near Zanja and when
the Spanish column under Munzo ap-
peared he struck Il In the front and
flank, doubling It up on the river.
The spaniards were taken by surprise
and many Of them rushed into the river
and were drowned. The FIRE Of the in.
surgents also did great execution. When
the humiliation Of Munzo's column
seemed certain the RunbOats appeared
and saved the remnants. Over 800 Of
Mnnzo's men were killed by insurgents
bullets or drowned and about 400 were
wounded. The Spanish troops retreated
down the river to ManEanillo protected
by the gunboats. The insurgent loss
was small. General Garcia then crossed
the river and Is now proceeding west.
The news Of the advance Of General
Gomez Is confirmed. He entered Ma
tanzas province at the head Of 1900 men.
well armed. He has seven pieces Of ar.
tillery and plenty Of ammunition. II Il
said the field pieces are in charge Of an
expert American artilleryman who has
served in the Pennsylvania National
guard and left Philadelphia for Cubs
