HAVANA, July 'Steenth.-Yesterday
a small detachment of the Spanish army
came suddenly upon several thousand
of the insurgents strongly intrenched
upon the hillside a a point about fifteen
miles from this city Though outnum-
bered ten to one, and at a disadvantage
as regards position, the Spanish force
quickly drove the enemy from their po-
sition and pursued them until night. The
Spanish loss was one man killed and two
slightly wounded. The inSurgent Joss
must have been tremendous, amount
ing, probably, tGAseveral hundred, but in
the darkness they succeeded in making
their escape, taking their dead with
them.

II was on the point of saying, sire, that
they were on the run toward us. and
that it was only by throwing away our
arms that we managed to escape with
our lives"

ready to be sent, and. inasmuch as 1t was
correct in the main point that the two
forces had met, Weyler thought it hard
