between the Indians and their boats,
effectually crt off their retreat. A
shower of bullets was the first intima-
ton they had Ct the presence of an en-
envy. They were shot down, bayoneted,
sabered and were finally driven into the

sacre was dreadful; the white sahds
were crimsoned with blood, and the
earth was strewn with wounded, dying
and dead. A few, very few, escaped by
swimming, some to the opposite marsh,
and one swan entirely over to Tybce, a
distance of three miles. From the dread
full carnage at this spot it received the
name of Bloody. Point. which it retains
to this time, it being the extreme south.
eastern point of South Carolina. After
this decisive victory the settlements to
the north of Broad river received no
further m~olestation from the southern
Indians, and soon after Hilton Head it
self oegan to be settled by the whites.
The Indians who escaped, having col
lected after a lapse of some time, re-
turned to Hilton Head, and, finding
only two of the tribe who had guided
the whites in their pursuit, avenged the
downfall of their own tribe by destroy
ing both of them. They then returned
south and were lost sight of ever after.

THE WAR IN NICARAGUA.
The Rebels Havo over Four Thousand
Men in the Field.


MANAGUA, Nicaragua, Feb, 2a.-Tho
campaign against the insurgents is being
pushed with the greatest vigor by Presi-
dent Helaya, The town of Nagarote, on
the western shore of Lake Managua, about
twenty five miles from here, which was
captured Thursday, is now held by a small
body of the government troops and col
umn is pushing forward in the direction
of Leon.
Yesterday Momotombo on Lake Man
aqua, was bombarded by government
gunboat after the place had been called
upon TO surrender Ten shells were thrown
into the town, and firing ceased when the
inhabitants fled in terror from the place.
The loss Of the rebels and the amount of
damage done is not known, as the num-
Der of men on board the gunboat was not
sufficient to permit of a landing party be-
ing sent ashore. Momotombo had de-
clared in favor of General Ortiz, the leader
of the insurrcction.
The successes of the government troops
up to the present have had the effect of
making the Presidents supporters very
confident of ultimately suppressing the
rebellion.
Very little Information is obtainable
concerning the doings of General Ortiz
and the Leonists but according to a re-
port they have succeeded in placing over
1000 mon under arms, and are advancing
TO meet the government troops if this is
the case decisive engagement should
shortly take place

TAMPA, Fla, Feb. 29.-The mail from
Cuba brings three letters from and TO diff
ferent sources announcing outrages which
are stated in the dispatch given below di-
rected TO Senator Morgan in Washington
by Rafael Portundo, Cuban secretary Of
state, who left for Washington last night.
"In Quatao, seven miles from the sub
urbs of Havana, on Saturday, Feb. %, the
insurgents retired from the town at 6
o'clock. Three hundred Spanish soldiers
Immediately entered, numbering mont COM
batants to the number of twenty-five,
among whom were some Spaniards, sick
men, boys of 10 years and an old man of
~. The violation of young girls was pre-
vented by the protest of the Spanish resi-
dents Fifteen insurgent tnon-combatants
have been taken to Mariando for trial.
This news has been confirmed by living
witnesses who have just arrived from the
scene of the butchery."

Sanchez commanded the Cubans and Gen
eral Palanco the Spanish. The outcome
was the greatest triumph the Cubans ever
had, the Spanish loss being 700,
General Palanco was severely wounded,
and his horse is now in the possession of
Quintin Bandera. In their flight many
Spaniards threw themselves into the river.
The Spaniards attacked a small detach-
ment of scouts, who soon overlook the
main body, and after short fight the
fearful machete charge was made, pros
trating hundreds of Spaniards beneath
their terrible onslaught. The severe Span
ish losses are attributed greatly to the
panic which ensued when Charge with
machete" was ordered.
Great enthusiasm prevails here among
the Cubans over the announcement that
the resolution to recognize them as bellig-
erents was passed by the senate.

Baltimore's NIunlcipal War.

BALTIMORE Feb. 20. - Mayor Hooper
took no action yesterday on the ordi-
nances passed by councils Thursday night,
depriving him Of the appointing powers.
In fact his honor did not oven read them,
but the fight is still on and the prospects
are that it will become more bitter than
ever. Both branches of councils last night
passed ordinances which are designed to
take away from the mayor still more of
the power he now possesses. An ordinance
was also passed taking away from the
mayor his right to remove municipal
officials, which, if it holds will leave him
little or no authority. There is no doubt
that the mayor will veto all the ordinances,
and that councils will try to pass them
over the Veto

HELD UP BY sPANlARDs.


BosToN, Feb 2g-The three masted
schooner Navarno, Captain Warner, from
Manzanilla, Cuba, with sugar, arrived
here yesterday. Her officers confirm the
report RECEIVED here that she had been
stopped by Spanish gunboat in Cuban
waters and searched The captain and
crew submitted quietly to the inspection
of the Spanish officers but they are highly
indignant at what they consider an insult
to the American flag.
j. II. Pritchard, chief mate of the Nav
urino, described the incident as follows:
1--WE left Manzanilla on Jan. 20. At
o'clock Sunday afternoon when we had
reached point about half way between
Manzanilla and Cape Cruz a small Span
ish war vessel came down on us with
swivel gun trained on US We set the Stars
and Stripes and dropped our anchors. A
boat, occupied by a second lieutenant,
pilot, two armed Spanish marines and
oarsmen were rowed to our vessel, the first
four persons coming on board.
"As none of us could understand Spanish
our pilot acted as interpreter, and we as
certaincd from him that the party were in
search of two Spanish marines who had
deserted from the gunboat and were
thought to be on board our schooner. They
proceeded to search the vessel, and re-
mained about half an hour, when they de-
parted. On account of being left by the
tide through the delay caused by the
Spanish sailors the Navarino could not
proceed until next day"
