A MILITARY ACCIDENT
Grew Out of Misunderstanding of a
Challenge.


Challenge.
Havana, March 15.-An untoward
military accident that occurred last
night, growing out of a misunderstood
ing Of the reply to a challenge, resulted
in the killing of twelve Spanish soldiers
and the wounding of a number of 9TH
ers. A small band of insurgents had
set fire to the cane buildings on a sugar
estate near Mariana province of Ha-
Vana. The smoke attracted the atten-
tion of two columns of Spanish troops
who were advancing in search of the
rebels. The column which first arrived
on the estate entrenched itself as a pre-
caution against any sudden attack from
the insurgents, who were supposed to
be near. The second column, consist
ing of the San Quinton battalion, az
rived on the scene after dark. AS it
approached the entertainments of the
first column it was hailed by the usual
'salerta" from a picket and responded
by calling out the name of the battal-
ion-San Quinton.
The picket misunderstood the reply,
taking it from the similarity of sound
to be Quintin Bandera, the name of one
of the rebel leaders. He concluded that
the insurgents were moving to attack
and discharged his piece and fell back
to the entrenchments, where the report
of his rife had caused all the troops to
seize their arms and prepare to repel
the attack
The second column continued to ad-
vance, supposing that it had come up.
1t has not gone far before the first col
umn poured yolley into its ranks.
The second column returned the fire,
and then fixed bayonets and rushed
forward to take the entrenchments by
storm. AS it went over the entrench-
ments the first column poured another
Volley into it and then when the troops
came into close quarters it was discov-
cred from the uniforms and flags that a
fatal blunder had been made.
1t is reported the loss on both sides
was over thirty, but there is a strong
suspicion that it was much larger. 1t
is pretty certain the officers in COM
mand will be court-martialIed.
