fish Troops.
Havana, March 26.-AnOther terrible
mistake, attended with loss of life, and
resulting in many soldiers being
wounded. has taken place. In some
manner unexpected. two columns Of
Spanish troops opened fire upon each
other ut midday. According to the
few details received here the columns
of troops commanded by Gen. Godoy
and Col. Holguin, ut the Santa Rosa
plantation, near Esperanza, province
of Santa Clara, mutually mistook each
other for insurgents, owing, it Is said
to the thickness of the sugar cane.
Each detachment opened fire upon the
other. and for ten minutes shots were
exchanged, resulting in the killing of
seventeen soldiers, among them Lieut..
Col. Fuenmayer. Of the Navas bat
talon. In addition five officers and
eighty-four soldiers were wounded.
Two of the latter have since died,
and six others are mortally wounded
and thirty-two are seriously injured.
Lieut.. Col. Fuenmayer died while lead
ing his troops on, and shouting Long
live Spain." Owing to the fact that
the meeting of the two columns took
place at midday. the explanation fur
nishcd by the Spanish commander is
considered unsatisfactory, and court
martial will follow.
