VICTORY FOR CUBAN REELS.

Reported That Pinar del Rio, Spanish
Stronghold, Has Fallen.
New York, March 30.-A special to
the Journal from Havana says: Pinar
del Rio has fallen. The stronghold of
the Spanish army in the western part of
the island was taken by the insurgents
Saturday. There was desperate eight,
and many men on both sides are killed
and wounded. Only the meager news
Of the battle has been received in Ha-
vana, and the details cannot at this
moment be obtained.
What news has been received was
sent to the captain general by the Off
Ger in charge of the garrison at Pinar
del Rio, after his troops had been ut
terly routed and while the insurge nts
we're applying the torch to the city.
At the palace absolutely nothing has
been given out, and the most that can
be obtained there is confirmation of
the story that there was fight. The
Spanish officials will not state the re-
suit of the battle nor have they fur
nished the local papers with an Off
cial note of 1T. This, in itself, is suffi.
Gent to confirm the report of Spanish
defeat, for the authorities never lose
any time in giving out the complete
details of victories tor their side.
The Cuban sympathizers have re-
ceived information from the scene of
battle. The report made 10 them states
that Gems. Antonio Maceo and Calixo
Garcia were In command OF the rebel
forces. The hot fighting was done by
the American aluiierymen who came TO
Cuba on the Bermuda filibustering ex-
petition for the express purpose OF
working the Hotchl<iss and Calling
guns brought on the steamer. Without
the assistance of the Americans Pinar
del Rio would not have fallen. 1t was
Oh ~ their deadly fire sent into the town
by the Calling and Hotehkiss guns that
saved the day for the insurgents.
Pinar del Rio is situated about two
thirds of the distance across the island
at the north aud in the extreme western
province. II was city of some 10000
inhabitants, and the Spanish relied
upon il to afford them base for opera

shooters and other skilled men of war
who came on the Bermuda. Following

LATER NEWS.

Washington, March 30.-The effort of
Thomas w. Pearsall, stakeholder in
the Great Northern Railroad company,
to prevent a consolidation of that cor
poration with the Northern Pacific rail-
road, had a successful issue today when
Mr.. Justice Brown announced the
opinion of the supreme court of the
United States. The case came up from
the circuit court which ruled against
Fearsah. He contended that the pro-
position TO unite the two systems was
in violation of the law of Minnesota
enacted in 1874. which prohibited the
consolidation of competing lines OF
road. On the other hand it was the
contention of the railroad managers
that the law vas violation of the
provisions in the charter of the Minne-
apolis & ST. Cloud railroad, the original
link of the Great Northern line author
izing il to lease or purchase other lines
of the road.
The question before the court, " said
Justice Brown. ''was whether or not
the law 1874 was an impairment of
the vested right of tine Great Northern
companies" Discussing the meaning
of the term vested right, the opinion
stated that in view of the court il did
not extend beyond a right acquired by
or under executed contracts. 1t was
within the power of the legislature,
under general permission, such as is
expressed in the Minneapolis & st.
Cloud charter. TO acquire control OF
other roads 10 declare that il shall not
no used 10 acquire connecting lines and
thus construct a monopoly which for
800 years has been held by the courts
in England and this country to be
odious and entirely against public pol
lev"
The Judgment of the circuit cour,
was reversed and reuanded with in
structions to proceed in accordance
with the opinion Justices Field and
Brewer dissented from the Judgment OF
the court.
