Havana, April 4, via Key West, Fla
Here is a detailed account of the latest
feature of the arms of General Melguizo,
for which the queen cabled compliments.
One hundred and twenty-five thousand
men reconnoitering the farm Ell Desqui-
to, owned by Fernandez de Castro, near
Bainoa, Havana province, last Saturday
met two scouts of Aguirre's band. They
captured one named Pedro Potriler, 60
years of aga and colored. Though shot,
he defended himself and severely wound
ed with machete Captain Feijos and
one lieutenant and two soldiers slightly
before being killed Aguirre's column of
insurgents arrived, and the soldiers re-
treated and joined the battalion at Bal
noa, remaining intrenched during the
night. The next day General Melguizo's
advance. 1900 strong, crossed the Rico
HOBO farm and killed nine unarmed en-
ployes with swords. They went to the
Garrido estate, owned by Gertrudis Per-
droso, and killed eight employees all UNI
armed Among whom was one child s
years old and one 49, years old, and an
American citizen, Crescencio Gobel and
his mulatto wife, Rita Both were slaves
owned by Juan de La Masa Munoz, who
went to the sts ties in 1864, remaining fif-
teen years, and, obtaining papers. re-
old child was entirely severed from the
body. The troops fired the cane fields
for the purpose of driving out any Gu
bans in hiding. They also burned a fine
stone dwelling worth $4,000. Melguizo
officially stated that eighteen insurgents
were killed. the Spanish lost a captain Sc
riously wounded, a lieutenant and two
soldiers slightly wounded. Melguizo

troops that committed the Delgado af-

Rebels on the Offensive.

Havana, April 4.-The rebels still main
tain their offensive attitude, and despite
the announcements of government VIC
tories they are the ones who make the
attacks, though they are sometimes re-
pulsed when they attack superior force.
They attacked the town of San Nicho-
las, province of Havana, but were driven
off by the garrison there, who largely
outnumbered them. They then marched
to Molena del Sur, in the same province,
which place they attempted to enter.
Again they were repulsed, but not before
they set fire to a number of houses. They
then proceeded to Guanabo, twelve miles
east of Havana, and burned the village,
after which they went to Hovo Colorado.
During the attack it is said that five
women, two children and three negroes
were killed. Thirty-five persons were
afterwards found wounded. The rebel
loss is unknown. Altogether 1872 houses
and huts were burned. Various reports
locate Gomez near the border line, be-
tween Santa Clara and Camaguey. In
an engagement between Colonel Vas
quez's column and 500 rebels the insur-
gents lost nineteen killed and three
wounded. The fight last four hours.
An insurgent band led by Seayas at
tackled the town of San Juan de Las Ye-
ras. The garrison made an heroic de-
Tense and repulsed the rebels, who
burned several houses.
