Two Thousand Killed.

Uncontirmed but apparently authentic
information comes of the r0ut and fear
full slaughter of the army under Gen
Weyler in Cuba.
Col. Jose Reyes, aid-de-camp of Gen.
Maceo. passed through Jacksonville, Fla.,i
Thursday. He says there has been
fierce fighting in the Rubi hills in Pinar
del Rio The most sanguinary battle of
the war was fought there and 1000 of
Weyler's men were killed in two days
and not less than 1900 wounded.
When WeyIer went into the field ne had
$4,000 men in three columns, one of
$4,000 under his direct command; one OF
10000 under Gen. Echague. and the third
of 10000 under Gen. Munore. They
found Maceo intrenched in Il crescent
shaped range of hills.
Gen. Munore was directed to OuSt him
from this position and Gen. Echague to
execute a flank movement and cut off the
Cuban generals retreat Gen Munore
went forth gallantly upon the field. bat.
when he had arrived at the foot of fh1
hills his forces met with a whitening FIR,
that cut gaps in the ranks. Maceo's mes
shot from behind rocks and trees an
gradually gave way before the Spaniardss
to be victory, pursued with extreme con-
fdence of success.
Without the least premonition d deafen-
ing explosion was heard and scene fol-
lowed resembling the mine horror at
Petersburg during the civil war. Horses
and men were blown high in the air and
fell to the earth dead and mangled. A
dynamite mine had been touched off by
Mace0's electrician. MaceO then used
his dynamite guns and still greater havoc
was wrought. Col. Reyes men say that
Weyler lost 100 men in the explosion and
800 more in the charge that followed, as
well as LOCO wounded.
On the following day, MaceO. who
knew of the reserve force under Weyler,
retreated to q stronger position He was
there attacked by Il column under
Echague, who was driven from the field.
Eight hundred men We're killed and 1900
wounded. 1t was in this fight that,
Echague lost his leg. 1t was torn off by,
a dynamite bomb.
His men then became panicstricker.
They feared another mine and would not
obey when ordered 10 attack a second.
time.
On the the third day AIaceo again re-
treated. maneuvering continually TO en-
trap Weyler into a fled that had been
hOneycombed with dynamite. In the
meantime Weyler heard that there was
danger of an uprising in Havana because
ne had failed to crush Maceo and he has
tened back to the capital.
In a letter brought by Col. Reyes to
prominent Cubans Maceo says: Have
no tear. L am like a turtle in his shell.

BERLIN: The Eremdenblatt, discussing

ton says: Lord Salisbury acted cleverly
in so directing his policy that Great Brit
ain is again friendly with the United
States. His consent to always submit
certain disputes of the two Anglo-Saxoh

sagacity of the British nation. Great
