DEFEAT OF SPANIARDS.
Signal Victory of the Forces
Under General Antonio Maceo.
He LED HIS FOES INTO A TRAP.

1nsurgent Forces Surrounded the Govern
ment Troops and Compelled n Surrender.
Maoeo Declares That, Properly Armed
lie Could End the War In Two Months.
KEY WEST, Fla, July 2D.--1he Span
iards, under. General Suarez Inclan have
sustaineda 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 tho Cuban leaders are in
formed that it Is currently reported in
Havana that the Spanish general himself
was captured and Is now held as pris-
oner by Maceo.
The battle Is said to have occurred on
July Is, near Maccos stronghold in tho
province of Pinar del Rio. For tho last
two weeks the insurgents have been very
aggressive and small parties have repeat
edly attacked tho trocha, causing tho
Spaniards much annoyance, General In
clan was ordered to drive back these de-
Tucked bands of insurgents, and for this
purpose took with him 1000 men.
Macco seems to have expected such q
movement, and arranged to anbu:h tho
Spaniard.. He stationed II large force in
favorable position snd ordered his de-
tachod bands to draw Inclan into the trap.
The Spnniards followed the insurgent
skirmshcrs incautiously and fell into the
ambush.
Then the Cubans opened fire from all
sides, which threw the s'paniardsinto con-
fusion, While the Spaniards were thus
disordorod the Cubanschnrged completely
routing their focs. General 1nalun made
adosperlto effort to rally his demoralned
forces, but was surrounded by the Cubans
and compelled to surrender.
1t is said in Havana, according to the
revolutonists here, that the Spaninrtis
were pursued almost to the trocha, and
lost more than 800 men killed and wound
ed There were fourteen officers among
the killed. Cubans here also say that MA
Geo will hold lncan ns II hostage to save
the lives of prominent nSurgent officers
who have been captured by the Spani;trls
Ono Of these officers il Cnpotc. II this
rebel leader is shot by the SpaninrdS it is
said Incan will meet the same fate at the
hands of Macco

IHE TRANSVAAL RAID.

Cape Colony House of Assembly Shows
That Rhodes, Though al African Pro.
p,ier, Encouraged the Raid.
CAPETowN, July 90-The select com.
mittee of the house of assembly of Cape
COLONY to inquire Into the circumstances
Of the Jameson raid has made report.
II finds that Cecil Rhodes was fully ac-
Suainted with the preparations for the
raid, and that Alfred Belt, director in tho
South Africa company, DR.. Jameson, tho
administrator for the company in Rhod-
esia and DR.. 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 como fully q month before the
ostensible date.
There was no evidence adduced to show
that Cecil Rhodes Intended that the Pit
sani force should Invade tho Transvaal
uninylted, but at the same time there was
an absence of any peremptory Command
from Mr.. Rhodes to prevent the raid. Mr..
Rhodes and Dr.. Harris drafted telegram
containing such u command, but it was
aaver dispatched, not even when the wires
tout by DR.. Jameson's orders) were re-
stored.
The committee, therefore, cannot acqut
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 DIR. Jameson's
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.
