DEFEAT Or SPANIARDS.
Signal Victory Of the Forces
Under General Antonio Maoeo.
he LED Els FOES INTO A TRAP.

Insurgent Forces Surrounded the Govern
ment Troops aud Compelled IA Surrender.
Mnceo Declares That, Properly Armed.
He Could End the War In Two Months.
KEY WEST Fla. July 2O-The Span
Hrds, under General Suarez Inclun, have
sustained a crushing defeat at the hands
OF the insurgents under Antonio Maceo,
according to advices received by the Gu
ban revolutionary leaders in this city. Not
only was Inclan's column defeated with
heavy loss but the Cuban leaders are in
formed that 1t is currently reported in
Havana that the Spanish general himself
was captured and Is now held as pris-
uner by Maceo.
The battle is said to have occurred on
July 10, near Maceo's stronghold in the
province of Pinar del Rio. For the last
two weeks the insurgents have been very
aggressive, and small parties have repeat
edly attacked the trocha, causing the
Spaniards much annoyance. General In
clan was ordered to drive back these de-
tached bands Of insurgents and for this
purpose took with him 1900 men.
Maceo seems to have expected such a
movement, and arranged to ambush the
Spaniards. He stationed large force in
IA favorable position and ordered his de-
tached bands to draw Inclnn into the trap.
The Spaniards followed the insurgent
skirmishers incautiously and fell into the
ambush.
Then the Cubans opened fire from all
sides, which threw the Spaniards into con
fusion While the Spaniards were thus
disordered the Cubans charged, completely
routing their foes General Inclan made
desperate effort go rally his demoralized
forces, but was surrounded by the Cuhans
and compelled TO surrender
1t is said in HAVANA, according 10 the
revolutionists here, that the Spaniards
were pursued almost Co the trocha, and
lost more than BOO men killed and wound
ed There We're fourteen officers among
the killed. Cubans here also say that Ma
. Geo will hold inclan as a hostage TO save
the lives of prominent insurgeut officers
who have been captured by the Spuuiards.
One Of these officers is Capote If this
rebel leader is shot 10y the Spaniards tits
said Inclan will meet the same fate at the
hands of Macco.

Diarrh0ea Remedy and in ten minutes her
distress was gone, This is the best medicine
in the world for children when troubled with
collie or diarrhoea 1t never fails to effect a
prompt cure. When reduced with water and
sweetened it is pleasant for them to take. 1t

'Frisoos BID Big for the Tea Trade

SAN Francisco, July 2O.7-For the pur-
pose of diverting the great bulk of tea
trade from the Suez route and from the
Puget sound ports TO San Francisco, and
with the idea of making this city the dis
tributing center for the whole country in
so far as the traffic in that commodity is
concerned, the Southern Pacific company
and its connections. tie Union Pacific
alone excepted, has joined in movement
which is calculated to seriously disturb
the traffic conditions which have for years
past enabled New York to hold the tea
trade of the United States. Freight rates
on tea will in few days be reduced to lit
ole more than one-half Of what they are

Inoendiarles Almost Destroy Town

LITTLE ROCK, July 2O.-The town of
Malvern, Ark, at the junction Of the Hot
Springs and Iron Mountain railways, was
almost entirely destroyed by fire early in
the morning. The total loss is estimated
at S2500O0, only a small portion of which
is covered by insurance. The fire was
without doubt the result of plot TO de-
stroy the town, as 1t broke out in three
different places. The town had no fire
apparatus, and the fire burned itself out.
Z. A. Miller and Eugene Ingram, white,
and Case Williams, colored, are under ar
rest, and Miller has confessed. Theft was

THE TRANSTAAL RAID.

pany Supplied the Funds,
oE0ILRHoDBs KNEW ALL ABOUTIT

The Report of the select Committee Of the
Cape Colony House of Assembly shows
Tint Rhodes, Though an African Pre-
mier Encouraged the Raid.
CAPETowN, July 20-The select com
mittee Of the house of assembly of Cape
Colony TO inquire into the circumstances
Of the Jameson raid has made a report
1t finds that Cecil Rhodes was fully nc
quainted with the preparations for the
raid, and that Alfred Belt, director in the
South Africa company, DIR, Jameson, the
administrator for the company in Rhod-
esia and Or. Rutherford Harris, secretary
for the company at Capetown, were active
promoters of the raid. 1t also finds that
DR.. jameson personally obtained from
johannesburg letter of invitation for his
raiders to come fully a month before the
ostensible date.
There was no evidence adduced to show
that Cecil Rhodes intended that the Pit
sani force should invade the Transvaal
uninvlted, but at the same time there was
an absence of any peremptory command
from Mr.. Rhodes to prevent the raid. Mr.
Rhodes and DIR. Harris drafted telegram
containing such a command, but it was
HtNoI ulepdGullcui hou oNcu Nhcu tAS NlISa
(cut by DR.. Jameson's orders) were re-

The committee, therefore, cannot acquit
Mr.. Cecil Rhodes of responsibility. Mr..
Rhodes never informed his colleagues of
the raid. Sir Hercules Robinson, gov
ernor of Cape Colony, and Sir Jacobus
Dewett, British agent at Pretoria, alone
sent kilograms to arrest DR. jameson 5
advance
The Chartered South Africa company
the committee finds, supplied all the funds
for the raid with the knowledge of its
London Office. Cecil Rhodes afterwards
refunded this amount to the company.
