evidence in support OF 1T is presenter eil-

care with which even minor polnts are
treated, document number tWen1y-snfse

Loss Was Severe.
Havana, March 19.-News was received
here of an important battle Monday in
the vicinity of Candelaria, province Of
Pinar del Rio. The government troops
were unable to drive the insurgents back
and retired from their position with con-
siderable loss. The Spanish force was
commanded by Gen. Linares and Coils
lnelain and Hernandez. The fight be-
gun on line parallel with the road
away. The insurge nts entirely surround
ed the government troops and charged
upon the artillery men with macbetes.
The latter made vigorous resistance,
using muskets and grenades with such
effect as to check for time the enemy g
advance. With re.nforcements second
charge was made by the insurgents and
a hand to hand engagement ensued. The
battle terminated with bayonet charge
After hot battle lasting two hours,

Filibusterers Admitted to Bail.
Washington, March 1S.-Justice Shiras
granted a writ of error today in the Su-

case Of Capt. Wiberg and mates Petersen

The writ commands the men to be ad-

arranged for the men, it is understood
This action relieves these men tempora-
rily at least from the penitentiary SEN
on that question. 1t is thought the de-

neutrality laws.

ESPECIAL TO THE PRESS.J
Waterville, March 19.-The merchants
of Waterville gave the State Board OF
Trade royal welcome when it gathered
her this afternoon for its semi-annual
session. There were many Of the leading
business men of the Pine Tree State in
attendance. President Henry Lord OF
Bangor was early on hand. supported by
a large delegation from the Queen city.
From Portland came Messrs. Ammi
Whitney, Edward B. Winslow, Seth i.
Larrabee, Joseph e. Blabon, +. Il.
Boothby, A. W. Smith, Vim. W. Merrill,
G. W. T. Cooling, Joseph Fl. Short, M.
N. Rich. In all there were sixty-two
delegates present from the boards OF
trade.
The afternoon session was held in
Shannon hall of Colby university. An
item of the business transacted there
which was of especial interest to Portland,
was the adoption Of resolution endors-
ing the efforts Of the Portland Board OF
Trade to secure the widening of the
channel in Portland harbor. The matter
was introduced by President E. B. Win
slow of the Portland Board of Trade. who
presented resolution in favor of the
deepening Of Portland harbor and told of
the efforts made By the Portland board
in this direction. Within the past forty.
eight hours. the Massachusetts state
board of trade has appeared before com
mittee Of Congress advocating an appro-
priation Of $40, 0O0 900 for the improve
ment of Boston harbor. The Portland
Board of Trade did not ask the aid of the
State Board because Of this action in
Massachusetts,. but because of the real
necessities of the case. To illustrate,
Mr.. Winslow read letter from the
steamship company telling how the
Scotsman touched bottom while being
turned around in the channel at the end
Of her wharf. He then told the Board
that the Dominion company was to run a
boat to Portland even larger than the
great Scotsman. Mr.. Winslow also re-
ferred to the possibility of Portland being
selected as naval station.
President Lord said few words in
favor of the resolution, speaking of the
success of Southern cities in securiu g
such appropriations. In some of these
harbors heavy compulsory pilotage fees
are exacted, course never pursued in
Maine.
Mr.. A. S. Bangs OF Augusta also sup
ported the resolution. He referred to
Por tland as the harbor of Maine, and
spoke of the movement as one which
would help to answer the question how
the states railway facilities are t6be in
creased.
The resolution endorsing the efforts OF
the Portland Board was adopted by a
rising vote.
Resolutions were adopted on motion OF

| orat of Florida, introduced bill to pro-
vide for the transfer of persons in the

ment of the Uncompaghre Indian reser-

mence against the Secretary.
