A MENTAL BATTLE.


Havana, March 7.-Maximo Gomez, in
the recent movement of the main body
Of insurgents east from Havana province
across Matanzas to the line of Santa
Clara and then back to the centre of Ha-
vana province, displayed once more the
genius which has made his military
operations remarkable Gen. Weyler
with more troops, better organized, more
thorough preparation for transportation
and u large cavalry force than
Martinez Campos had. has been outgen-
eraled by the insurgent chief. Weyler' s
first failure was when Maceo was allowed
to enter Havana province from Pinar
del Rio and effect junction with Gomez
in spite Of the wall of men across the
island, when all available troops were
sent out to strengthen the columns
which. were closing in on the two rebel
leaders within 90 miles of this city.
The official reports had the two large
rebel columns surrounded by three col
umns of SPANS best troops, with caval-
ry, infantry, and artillery. The govern
lnent forces extended their lines in the
shape of n triangle, and for two days a
report of decisive engagement was
awaited with interest AS no correspon-
dents are now permitted to accompany
the troops, just what occurred is not
clear. From all that can be learned it is
thought that Gomez pushed one side OF
the triangle back, while Maceo pushed
back the other, and the insurgents passed
through the opening. The fighting
which occurred was not serious, for with
10. 600 on the insurgent side and double
that number of the Spanish troops, the
losses all told were less than 100.
When it was known that the rebels had
gone east into Matanzas,
THE TROOPS FOLLOWED.
Other columns were sent by railroads
to head them off the line in to Santa
Clara. There were no engagements of
any Importance there, for when the
troops had started east, it was learned
that both rebel leaders were going west
They had sent their wounded over the
line into Santa Clara, and were unin-
numbered for future operations. Gomez
countarmarched to the middle of Matan-
| zas Province. where he stopped to see
that the estates should not obey Weyler' q
| orders to Rrlndcane. Maceo returne
co Havana Province and brought with
aim his own column of about 500 men
and as many more belonging to the col
