Tampa, Fla, April 1.-THE Cuban in
sufgents, under the valiant leadership of
Antonio Maceo, have whipped the Span
iards in a fercely-contested battle. They
have utterly routed them. According to
trustworthy advices from Havana the
Spanish loss was $50 killed and 500
wounded.
For the first time in the history of the
war the Spanish admit defeat. The dis
patches which the press censor permitted
to be sent from Havana acknowledge
nsurgent victory, though the admitted
Spanish loss is ridiculousy small in view
of the details Of the battle officially given
to the correspondents.
The officials could not otherwise than
admit defeat, for in Havana everybody
knows it. Nothing else is talked about
The battle, in which SPANS forces met
disaster, was that fought at Lachusa
Tuesday. The Spanish force was 1900.
Col. Llnares was in command. Antonio
Maceo had 5000 men in a strong position,
The insurgents lost twenty killed and
about 400 wounded.
The Spanish plan was for three bat
tallons to attack Maceo simultaneously,
but Col. Echaveria's battalion failed to
arrive. lie IS now being court-martialed.
In the battle the amazons, a company
of Cuban women, fought bravely.
In an effort to capture Col. Linares,

separated. Seeing his danger, Mrs. AL
varez went to his assistance. Both hus-
band and wife were caught in the Span
ish lines and tried to fight their way
back with machetes Thinking that his
wife was still at his side, Alvarez made
his escape, but she was cut off at the last
moment and was literally hacked to
pieces by Spanish machetes. In his
grief and chagrin Alvarez shot himself
seriously.
Gen. Maceo commanded him to appear
before him. On demanding a reason
for his crime Alvarez said he could not
endure life purchased by his wife's death.
Maceo replied:
Pray God you may die, for if you live
/ will surely hang you
Gen. Gomez is reported in good health

An English paper says: The large
expenditures Of the Spanish govern
ment upon warships is attracting a
good deal of attention. The marine de-
partment has given out contract for
two torpedo boat destroyers at price
equivalent to some 100000 dearer than
the tender of one Of the leading firms
in this class Of naval construction in
Great Britain on the plea Of quicker
delivery. 1t is also publicly stated,
and repeated in the press without con-
tradiction on the part Of the govern
ment organs, that the minister Of ma
rine has purchased from firm Of ship
builders In Genoa two cruisers of under
1000 tons displacement, with a speed
Of twenty miles, for the enormous sum
Of 100000 pesetas, representing at
the exchange Of the day over 100000
sterling for each vessel. Nothing short

speech at the dinner given her by the

taste" which led her to wear plume
Of aigret feathers in her hair. Mrs.
Burnett, while she lived in New York,
was never accused Of good taste in
dress, and another Tennessee authoress
appeared at a reception here in blue

childhood with the weird tints of the
Tennessee mountains, and that, per-
