NOT TO COMMIT MURDER.

This displeased the colonel sorely but,

Two Batalions of Spanish Troops Engage

Havana, March 15.-An untoward
military accident occurred last night
growing out Of the misunderstanding of
reply to a challenge which resulted in
the killing of twelve Spanish sold iers
and wounding of number. A small
band Of insurgents set fire to the cane
and b uildings on a sugar estate near
Mariana province of Havana. The smoke
attracted the attention of two columns of
Spanish troops. which were advancing in
search of the rebels. The column which
first arrived on the estate entrenohed it,
self, as a precaution against any sudden
attack from the insurgents, who were
supposed to be near. The second column
consisting of the San Quintin battalion
arrived on the scene after dark. AS it APP
preached the entertainments of the first
column it was hailed by the usual
- lerta" from the picket, and responded
by calling ont the name of the battalion
of San Quintfn. The picket misunder-
stood the reply, taking it from the SINH
larity OF the sound to be Quintin Bandre,
the name of one of the rebel leaders. He
concluded that the insurgents were NOV
ing to attack the column to which he
belonged, discharged his piece and fell
back to the entrenchment, where the
report Of his rifle caused all the troops to
seize their arms and prepare to repel the
attack. F
The second column continued to ad-
vance, surprising it had come upon the
rebels, for whom it was looking. 1t had
not gone far before the first column
poured q volley into its ranks. The
second column returned the fire, and then
fixed bayonets, and rushed forward to
take the eLtrenohments by storm. AS it
went over the entertainments the first
column poured another volley into it,
Then whom the troops came into close
quarters 1T was discovered from the uni
form and flags that fatal blunder had
been made.
1t is reported that the loss on both sides
in killed and wounded was over thirty.
There is n strong suspicion that it was
much larger. II is pretty certain the
officers In command OF the columns were
