The wreck was marked by scenes of

New Orleans, Oct. 3.--The Times
Democrats Key West special says: Adj
vices received here from Havana state
that Antonio Maceo in recent attack
on the trocha inflicted terrible losses
on the Spaniards, more than 1000 being
killed and wounded. The attack was
made at night and was carefully
planned. The fighting was general all
along the line, but was hercest near
Arte misa, where Antonio Maceo led a
picked force of insurgents against the
Spanish column commanded by Gen.
Aralas. The Spaniards were taken COM
pletely by surprise. They were aroused
from sleep TO find hail of insurgent
bullets falling upon them. Gen. Aralas
and his staff, half clad, rushed from
their headquarters and tried to rally
the Spanish troops, who were panic
stricken by the insurgents attack. IL
was half an hour before even a sem
blance of order could be restored TO the
Spanish column, and during that time

1t is said many Spanish officers were
killed and that Gen. Aralas himself was
slightly injured. After Gen. Aralas sue
ceeded in rallying his men he made re-
treat and the Spaniards fell back four
miles or more. leaving the trocha in
the hands OF the insurgents. Antonio
Maceo did not pursue the Spaniards. but
held possession OF Artemisa until morn
ing. when he retreated TO his strong
hold. Before the insurgents retreated
they demolished the section Of the
trocha near Artemisa. blowing up the
Notifications with dynamite.

and at all points the strong line was de-

crossed with his entire force. but IL
seems that he had not such purpose in

molish the trocha so that IL could not
impede his eastward march when he

One OF the most famous natural Curl

is the work of man played upon by
freak of nature. The well was dug In
the year 1858, and has been a noted
wonder since the first Is feet of the ex-
cayation was made. 1t was started in
gravel. which extended TO depth OF
ten feet, where four-foot bed of sticky,
yellow clay was encountered. After this
clay stratum had been pierced and the
total depth of the well was pronounced
TO be II feet, deposit OF solidly frozen
gravel was struck Work which was
done on the well during the next three
or four weeks revealed the fact that
this glacial deposit was exactly 1874

tended through the frozen gravel

and IL was in this that water was found.

the hole was then walled up. Since
that time the water in this peculiar
well has never been more nor less than
two feet In depth. and this Is always
