one dav three of them rushed upon his

Crushed by Garcia.

The Spaniards sustained one of the most
crushing defeats of the war near the River
Csuto. in the prov ince of Santiago de CuSa
last week AdYices from Santiago state
that out Of 1000 Spaniards engaged 700
were either killed or wounded,
The Spanish column was lead by Gem
eral Munzo. and General Calixto Garcia,
the veteran, who recently landed IN ca a
from the United States, commanded the
insurgents. Garcia, who has been given
command of the Department OF the East
by General Gomez, was moving westward
with a small force, intending to cross the
Cauto river, near the town OF ZanJa.
General Munoz, who was stationed at
Manxanillo, learned of Garcia's movements
and determined to force him to battle al
the river, Muuoz accordingly marched to-
ward Zanza with 5000 infantry, and order
ed gunboats to proceed up the river to CO.
operate with the land forces.
General Garics, learning that Munzo
was advancing in force, effected a Junction
with the columns of Rabi and Maia Rodrl
CUES, the latter officers forces hurrying
from Camaguey. This junction gave
Garcia nearly $500 men, whom he posted
in sd advantageous position some miles
below Zanja, and waited the coming OF
Munoz.
The Spanish General advanced careless
ly, and almost before he knew the enemy
was near the head of his column was hot
ly engaged with psrt of the lnsurgent
crmy, lead by Garcia and Rodrgues. At
the same time Rabi's column struck the
Spaniards in flank, doubling them up on
the river.
Caught between two fires the SpanlardS
huddled on the river bank in terror. The
insurgent fire was so deadly that many OF
the Spaniards, trying to escape. leaped IN
to the river and were drowned. General
Munoz lost his head entirely and the des-
truction of his entire column was imminent,
when the gunboats that had been ordered
to cooperate with the land force appeared
The gunboats covered the remnants OF
the Spanish column and gave the officers
an opportunity to reform the routed men.
The Cubans fought with great gailsntry
and we're anxious to charge the Spanish
troops even after the latter were covered
by the gunboats, but General Garica
would not permit this.
The Spaniards retreated down the river
to Mauzaniilo, never once yenturlng out oil
cover Of the gunboats, a2d leaving theil
dead and many of the wounded behind.
1t is said thot 800 Spaniards were killed
by the bullets of the insurgents or were
drowned, and that over 400 hundred were
wounded The insurgents fought IRON
advantageous petitions and their loss was
small. After the battle General Garcls
crossed the CautC and is now advan cing
towards the west.
