An Important Engagement Thopeht
to Be Taking Place.
Havana, Jan. 16.-Exciting news
from the front was received here
about noon, In shape which prevent
ed Its accuracy from being denied.
The sound of continued artillery firing
was heard south of Rincon, not far
from Bejucal, the town which was at
tackled by the insurgents yesterday
with the result that, according to the
official statement of the AFFAIR, they
were forced to retreat after strong re-
sistance upon the part Of the govern
ment forces defending that place. the
battle lasting, 1t is claimed, for five
hours. But it is admitted that the In.
surgents plundered stores In the out
lying streets Of Bejucal. burned a
number Of houses and destroyed the
railroad depot by fire. Previous to this
they had burned the town Of Saluda,
quite a good sized place, and partially
destroyed Quivican, smaller place.
They varied these operations with
burning freight trains aid destroying
railroad engines, as they pushed north
ward and toward Havana. This force
of insurgents is the one which la sup
posed to he commanded by Gomez in
person, although it has been insisted
that he is still in the province Of Pinar
del Rio, and that he was in conflict
with the Spanish troops commanded
by Gen. Linares. 1t is believed that
an important engagement ia taking
place, and further information is very
anxiously expected. The insurgents
are now practically in control Of the
island, except the larger cities, and u
march upon Havana Is again being
discussed.

Charlottesville, Mo-, Jan. 15.-As the
result of the sinking of the steamer
Congo In the Mississippi river late last
night four boat hands are missing and
are supposed to have been drowned.
Two others were injured but not seri-
Ously. Last evening at IL o'clock the
Congo, collar line boat landed at
this port, discharged some freight and
took abroad fifteen head of hogs with
other freight. When starting to back
out there was brisk wind which
swung the boat down stream, causing
her to strike a barge loaded with lum-
Der at the landing. A great hole was
torn IN her hull. The water rushed in
rapidly, and In less than ten minutes
the boat had gone to the bottom. She
sank about quarter of mile below,
the city, the water reaching to her
Texas.
The boat sank SO rapidly that there
was no time to blow the distance
signal. But for the timely arrival Of
the tug Kitty of this place and the fact
that u barge was close at hand, the
loss Of life would have been larger
than 1t was. Many of the passengers
were picked up more dead than alive
but prompt attention and the admin
istratiOn Of restoratives soon resus-
ftated them.

Mr.. Plckler Wins q Victory Before

Washington. Jan. an.16.-Representative
Picker made argument before the
committee on public lands to-day in
advocacy Of the bill introduced by
Representative Wilson OF Idaho. to
give the mineral land states % per
cent CT the proceeds Of the sales of
mineral lands in such states for the
maintenance OF schools in mines. The
committee authorized favorable re-
port upon the bill, and as it has al
ready been favorably reported from
the senate public lands committee, the
chances are that the bill will become
law. Representative Pickler also ad-
dressed the public lands committee Mt
length on the free homes bill. This
measure is to allow settlers to enter
land under the homestead law, with
out paying anything but filing fees
This bill would affect settlers on the
Sisseton, Wahpeton, Yankton, Big

Dakota.
