A Spanish Column Under Gen. Munox De-
 fsated with Great Loss of Life.
 KEY WEST, Fla, May "A notable victory has been won by the insur- gents commanded by Gen. Calixto Garcia, in the province of Santiago de Cuba Advices received here from Cuba state that Garcia's forces fell upon the Spanish column commanded by Gen. Munoz and almost annihilated it. The battle occurred near Zanja, on the banks of the river Cauto. Gen. Garcia was moving west with l,50O men, intending to cross the river Munoz, who was at Manzanillo de. cided to prevent Garcia crossing. He led 2,5OO Spanish soldiers out of Manga. aillo and ordered gunboats to proceed up the river to cooperate. Garcia heard of Munoz's movements and effected a junction with the columns of Rabi and Rodinghaus, thereby increasing the forces under his command to nearly $500 men. Garcia stationed his men near Zanja, and when the Spanish col- umn under Munoz appeared struck it in front and flank, doubling it up on the river. The Spaniards were taken by surprise and many rushed into the river, where they were drowned.
