Thirteen Cuban Towns Reduced to Ashes
by the Torch.
HAVANA, March 6.-The reopeninp
of telegraphic communication with the
region of Pinar Del Rio brings the
first detailed information of affairs in
that province for several weeks. The
condition of affairs disclosed is little
less than appalling. The rich vuelta
Abajo district seems to have been put
to the torch and is apparently reduced
to bowling and desolate wilderness.
Whole towns have been ob1iterated
and reduced to a heap of ashes and
their inha bitants are wandering help
less over the face of the country,
without a place to lay their heads or
wherewithaI to be clothed and many
OF them starving.
The villages and towns of Cabannas
Bethia Honda. San Diego. De Nunez,
Santa Cruz de los Pinos, Los Palacios,
Piso Real De San Diego and San Diego
de los Banos are known to be reduced to
ashes and reports of others will bring
the number destroyed up to thirteen.
All of these were important and thriv-
ing centers of population and bust
ness

Excited Crowds Defy the Police In Many
italian Circles.
ROME, March 6.-There seems to be
no cessation and no amelioration of
the agitation and disorders amoug the
people, Notwithstanding the less dis
astrous character of the latter reports
of the battle of Adowa. The agitation
last evening was as threatening as
ever and during the course of the
evening the rioters smashed numerous
windows Almost everywhere excited
crowds paraded the streets and the
police had great difficulty in dispers-
ing them. as is shown by the reports
of many conflicts that have occurred.
A large number of arrest have been
made.
The public apprehension of trouble
is indicated by the number of shops
that have closed for fear of the dam
age that would result to them from an
out break of disturbances. The troops
are also still confined to their bar
racks. The utmost efforts of the DO
lice and soldiers to dispense the mob
which had held possession all day of
the Plaza Coona in front of the Cham
Der of Deputies had proved to be fu-
tile up to o'clock last night and at
that time the cries of derision and dis
approval of the government, of Pre-
mler Crispi and of the commanders in
Africa were still being kept up by the
parading crowds.

THE ITALIAN SLAUGHTER.
Later Reports Indicate That First News
Was Exaggerated.

ROME, March 6.-Later advices re.
ceived here from Massowah show that
although the rout of the Italians was
complete, the extent of the disaster IS
somewhat less than rumor has made
It. This is said to be owing to the
fact that the Shoans did not pursue
the Italians to Asmara, as was at first
reported, and parties of stragglers
who were believed to have persisted
are now arriving there. This has
caused a renewal of the complaints
against the government for not giving
the official estimate of the number of
killed and wounded, which, however,
is still believed to be over 5, 900.
1t appears that a majority of the
generals approved of General Bar
atieri's attack, and all accounts agree
that General A1bertone pushed too far
ahead and engaged in a regular bat
tie, his artillery, consisting of four
teen guns, delivering a crushing fire
upon the enemy, until the whole
AIbertone's forces, and, in spite of the
bravery and tenacity of the Askaris,
they were compelled to recede.
On the ARRIVAL of reinforcements it
appears General Albertone made a
second attack, under the cover of the
artillery. which is described as being
spleudidly handled, ana he kept the
Shoans at bay long after the final re-
treat had been sounded. Eventually
the Askaris broke. and the terrible
rout began. Pursued and pursuers
mingled together, running and fight
ing mile after mile
Meanwhile, General Arimoudi's
brigade had been packed on the other
ridge of the pass, there not being

suit was that ArimondTs men became
demoralized. although a few com

remainder were only passive on-loolzers
OF the slaughter of their comrades by
the Shoans, who cut them down, shot
them, or crushed them beneath stones
in great numbers. Later the whole of
General AriinOndTs brigade became
panic-stricken, and fell an easv prev
to the Hara tribesmen, who syarmed
up the ridge, driving the Italians be-
fore them and cutting them down or
shooting them without mercy. "
Generals Baratieri, Arimondi and
Cara, with their revolvers in their
hands. did everything possible to stav
the fight of the troops, but the efforts
of the officers wer futile, and the rout
and slaughter continued. Numerous
instances of personal valor displayed
by the Italian officers and men are re-
coun4ed.
The War Office today admitted that
sat least" $50 Italian officers were
killed; but the officials still refuse to
admit that over 1900 men were killed.
They say, however, they believe
9, 500 Italian troops and 5000 native
troops in the Italian service were en-
gagged az, 200 in alp, and that nearly
Rll'' the artillery, ammunition and
supplies fell into the hands of the
enemy
