HAVANA, January 1, 1886.
The tactics employed by the Cuban army
leaders are peculiar week ago the
Spanish army was falling back rapidly
from Colon to Matanzas The Cubans were
victors at Colon. Jovellanos, Perico and CT
marrones. MatanEas city was hurriedly
put in state of defense, and Havana
even was the border of panic, because
1t was thought that the victorious army of
Gomez would in a few days appear within
sight of MORO castle;
Gen. Campos was evidently of this belief,
for he ordered troops from all sections to
this point, threw q new strategic line from
Matanzas along the border Of Havana
province to Batabano on the south coast.

the onslaught was 'off." Instead of at
lacking the new line or any part of it,
Gomez has disappeared with his main
army, leaving only a few scattering COM

Matanzas to Havana.
Reports Indicate that Gomez's main force
Is marching in the direction of the Cienaga

of Cienfuegos. In this immense swamp,
which is over a hundred miles in extent
In either direction, and which as yet the
Spaniards have not dared penetrate, are To-
rebels and their main hospital. Seemingly
very inappropriate place for the latter,
but those in a position to know say that
while the hospital Is surrounded by miles
and miles of swamp and jungle, its location
Is as healthy as any on the island.
Apparently it Is the intention of the
rebels to leave their wounded, secure a new
supply Of ammunitions and provisions, and
await the arrival of the division of 5000
reinforcements lately organized in the
eastern provinces.

Star correspondent today: Gomez and

There seems to be TO definite knowledge
now as to the whereabouts of the body of

JUDGMENT REVERSED.
Court of Appeals Decides in Favor

Court of Appeals Decides in Favor
of Mrs. Merchant.
In the case of c. c. Cole and VIM. A.
Cook against Mrs Anna /. Merchant to
enforce a claim of $500 for professional
services the Court Of Appeals today, in an
opinion written by Mr.. Chief Justice Alvey,
reversed the judgment of the court below.
remanding the case back to that court,
and directing that 1t there be dismissed.
The one great question involved in the
case was whether Mrs. Merchants sepa-
rate estate could be charged with the
claim set up by the plaintiffs. 1t appeared
that In 1857 ex-Gov. Alex. r. Shepherd
conveyed to Mrs. Merchant. his sister. a
certain piece Of real estate in square 342.
The conveyance was by deed of trust 10
Thos. M. Shepherd, for the sole use and
benefit of Mrs. Merchant. Messrs. Cole
and Cock were employed in 1881 by Mrs.
Merchant, and successfully prosecuted a
certain suit for her, they claiming that she
agreed that their compensa ton should be
charge upon, and paid out of. her said sep
ars tie estate. The deed Of trust from Gov.
Shepherd provided that the property in
question should be held by her for such
uses and purposes as she should request
and direct ir writing, witnessed by two
witnesses. Tho court below held the claim
against Mrs. Merchant to be valid one
and made 1t a lien on the real estate men
toned.
The Court Of Appeals found it unneces-
sary to decide as to the existence Of the
oral contract set up by the plaintiffs. hold
ing that the rights Of the parties are gov
erned ard decided according to the general
principles of equity jurisprudence, without
reference to the married woman's act of
April 10, 1869. In equity a married woman
is treated as feme sole in respect to her
separate estate. says the chief justice,
where the instrument creating the estate
contains no restrictions or limitations on
the power of disposition. But where
mode OF alienation or appointment is pro-
vfded, that mode must, in a substantial
way, at least, be pursued, and is a para
mount law, governing and controlling
every contract in relation to the property
Such Limitation the grantor or settler has
the right to impose, continues the chief
Justice. and the ceremonials prescribed by
him are the essence of the power, and,
therefore, cannot be disregarded. To Gre
ate lien or charge upon The property an
express contract was necessary, says the
court and the plaintiffs presenting no case
for relief by court of equity, the judg-
ment OF the Equity Court must be reversed
and the case remanded to- that court for
dismissal
