A CRUSHING DEFEAT
Spanish Column Utterly Rout-
ed by Maceo.
GENERAL YNCLAN WAS CAPTURED
Into Trap and Fired on
From All Sides.

Key West, July 21.-The Spaniards
under General Suarez Ynclan have sus-
tanned crushing defeat at the hands
of the insurgents under Atomic Maceo.
Not only was Ynclan' g column defeated
with heavy loss, but it is currently
reported in Havana that the Spanish
general himself was captured and is
now held prisoner by Maceo. The bat
tie is said to have occurred on July Is,
near Maceo's stronghold, in Pinar del
Rio. For the last two weekse the
rebels have been very aggressive, and
small parties have repeatedly attacked
the trocha, causing the Spaniards much
annoyance.
Ynclan was ordered to drive back
these detached bands of Cubans, and
for this purpose took with him 3 900
men.
Maceo seems to have expected such a
movement. and arranged to ambush
the Spaniards. He stationed large
force in favorable spot, and ordered
his detached bands to draw Ynclan into
the trap. The Spaniards followed the
insurgent skirmishers incautiously and
fell into the ambush. Then the Cubaus
opened fire from all sides, which threw
the Spaniards into confusion.
While the Spaniards were thus beset,
the Cubans charged and completely
routed their foes Ynclan made des-
perate effort to rally his demoralized
forces, but was surrounded by the Gu
bans and compelled to surrender.
1t is said in Havana that the Span
iards were pursued almost to the
trocha, and lost more than 800 killed
and wounded. There were fourteen
officers among the killed. The Cubans
here also say that Maceo will hold
Ynclan as hostage to save the lives Of
prominent insurgent officers who have
been captured by the Spaniards. One
of those officers is Capote. If this
rebel leader is shot by the Spaniards, it
is thought Ynclan will meet the same
fate at the hands of Maceo,

is just one week since the decapitated
body of Pearl Bryan was found near
Fort Thomas, KY. there was more ex-
element yesterday over the tragedy

Alonzo Walling, the suspects, who
were room mates while attending the
Ohio Dental College, confessed against
each other all day. They were ex-
amined separately and together.
When they are confronted face to
face with each others confessions
they call each other liars and
exhibit murdcrous feeling. All efforts
have been directed to finding
Pearl Bryan's head. In the series of
confessions Jackson says Walling car
ried it in Il valise to the Covington sus-
pension bridge. and he thilks Walling
threw it in the river, or he might have
carried it with him to his home at
Hamilton and thrown it from the
Miami bridge at that place, but Jack
son says he did not go with his room

tions require. before approaching the
crossing. He stated that the air
brakes failed, but it was found that
his engine was not reversed. The
