man was with him in the room when he

TEXANS WERE WIPED OUT IN CUBA.
Bnttled HerofcaIIy for Five Hours
With Spanish Troops.

New York Dec. ga special to the
World from Key West. Fla. says:
The Lone Star company of the patriotic
army of west Cuba, consisting of 15 Texas
sharpshooters, perished to man after
heroically battling more than five hours
against vastly superior Spanish forces at
Pinar del Rio province. killing double their
own number and wounding probably as
many more.
The Havana officials are jubilant, say
the passengers arriving here, over this vic
tory. A Cuban band was observed near
Pinar del Rio City Thursday morning and
General Melquizo sent two squadrons of
cavalry to attack them. After a running
fire, the band, which proved to be COM
posed of 10 Texans, were chased into a
bottle" bit Of hummock having only
one opening. The Texans, seeing they
were in hole, retreated to the further
end and fortified themselves hastily be-
hind boulders. The Spanish troops DIS
mounted and surrounded them, pouring in
fire from both sides. The brave Texans
replied and kept up the fight for more than
five hours. By that time six of the 15 had
been killed and four wounded, while %
Spaniards had bitten the dust and 10 more
were wounded. A flag of truce was sent
in by the Spanish and the Texans were
called on to surrender, but the Americans
refused TO lay down their arma, shouting,
I'VE remember Maceo"
This infuriated the Spaniards and they
fought with renewed fierceness. Twice
they charged but the rapid firing of the
brave little band drove them back. I,y
getting on a high ridge behind the Tex
ans position, the Spaniards were enabled
| to pour in a fire that killed all but two of
those left These two gallantly continued
to fight, and held off the enemy an hour
longer Then, overcome by thirst and
enfeebled by loss of blood flowing from a
dozen wounds. they were cut to pieces ty
| the Spaniards, who finally dashed up as
the Texans cried, "Vive Cuba libre"
