nonading and rife frings was heard
yesterday in the neighborhood of
Guanaja, a town of 1000 inhabitants,
in the province Of Pinar del Rio, about
forty-fve miles south of this city. De-
tails OF the engagement just received
show that General Navarro, be-

During the three hours fighting
which followed, the Spanish artillery
was called into play, and the insur-
gents were routed with q loss of
twenty-three killed and fortv-three
wounded left on the field. The insur-
gents are said to have carried away
many of their wounded.

can stand in the way of studied oppo-
sition on the part OF Germany, ever it
the latter is backed by france and
Russia, which is. not considered to De

1t can be said safely that the wal
spirit is lowering over the British en-

eagerly supporting the attitude of
the government in PRESENTING the attl-

Britain. The press is unanimous in
its approval of the preparations of the

THE CRISIS OVER IN TRANsvAAL.
From Capetown to-day the news is
much more satisfactory. A dispatch
to the secretary of state for the colo
mics: Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain, from
Sir Hercules Robinson, dated yester-
day and just made public, says that
the Uitlanders Of Johannesburg have
surrendered unconditionally and have
given up their arms to the representa-
tives Of President Kruger. In addi-
ton, the latter has intimated his in
tention of handing over DR.. jameson
and the other prisoners captured by
the Beers to the British high commits
sioner on the borders of Natal,
Sir Hercules Robinson, in his dis
patch, adds: you may therefore be
satisfied that the crisis is over and
that all danger of further hostilities
is ended"
The dispatch is regarded by Mr..
Chamberlain as practically, settling
the crisis in the affairs of the Trans
vaal, SO far as the Beers are concerned.

last night to John McMann's saloon,
where her husband was drinking,
placed a pistol to his head and pulled
