CAPTURE of Guiana.

Key West, Fla, Nov. 8.;-The siege
and capture of Guiamara, which have
been reported here, is regarded by 10
cal Cubans as being Of great import
ance. The town is said to have been
recently infested and taken by Gen.
Calixto Garcia Guiamara was formerly
a large town situated on the highway
from Santiago de Cuba. 1t was entire
ly burned during the ten years OF war,
but was was largely reconstructed after
the war, and three small forts were
erected and garrisoned by $50 men. An
infirmary and military stores were also
erected by the Sraniards. The place
lies seventeen miles southeast OF Cas-
zorro and fifty-four miles from the
capitol of Puerto Principe, which
should have rendered assistance to the
besieged forces.
Gen. Calixto Garcia. with a column
of 5000 men, all we'll armed, came ex-
pressly from the vicinity of Las Tunas
to attack and besiege the fertilization.
After ten days siege, Fort Russ, COM
manded by first sergeant, was sur
rounded by the Cubans and captured.
It was afterwards retaken by Spanish
captain. After four days siege, and
incessant bombardment, the ammunl-
ton failing, the Notifications partially
destroyed, the troops without water,
the officers seriously wounded and un-
able to command, eight Of the soldiers
died and over twenty wounded, the for
tifications and towns surrendered to
the insurgents. Much booty, consist

BATTLESHIP TEXAS.
SHE LIES ALONG THE COB DOCK
IN THE MUD.
The Main Injection Valve on the starh"aro
side Below the Water Line Was showed
in from the Force of the Water and the
Engine Rooms Flooded.

New York, Nov. 10.-The United States
battleship Texas, to which a number
of accidents have occurred since she
was launched, lies along the Cob dock
in the Brooklyn navy yard, submerged
about FIVE feet above her water line.
Early yesterday the main injection
valve on the starboard side near the
midship line and about fourteen feet be
lew the water line, was showed in from
the force of the water, and the engine
rooms we're quickly flooded with dirty
black. muddy water. The ship soon
began to settle and Capt. Glass, who is
in command of the Texas, called the Of
ficers and did everything possible to
minimize the ships injuries.
At the time the accident occurred
there was only about two feet OF water
under the ship and she soon rested on
the muddy bottom. This was at low
water, but at high water yesterday
forenoon there was between five and
six feet of water above the line at the
stern and about eighteen inches less
at her bow. Wrecking tugs were i'm
mediately summoned and three of them
were soon alongside pumping the water
out of her engine and boiler rooms,
while a diver was sent down to as
certain the extent Of the damage.
Capt. Glass, Lieut.. Kelly and Engin-
eer Moore, as we'll as all the other Or
fcers of the ship, could not be induced
to tax about the accident, and all in
uuir:.s were referred to Commodore
Ricard, commander of the navy yard
The commodore said: 81 know very
little as yet about the accident. The
ship is resting easily on muddy bot
tom and we have no apprehension OF
any further damage to her. The prln-
cipa; damage which she will sustain
will be from the muddy water which
will temporarily injure the engines
and machinery. We can not estimate
the amount of damage nor the exact
cause of the accident until the diver
makes his report, and possibly not un'
til the ship is raised. She will come "
easily as soon as the leak is stopped.

Americans Outraged.

Key West, Fla, Nov. 1O.-Advices
received from Havana, per steamer,
give details of an outrage on an Amer
lean citizen and the butchery of nine
teen non combatant Cubans, including
four women, by Spanish soldiers. The
massacre occurred last Thursday near
the town of San Jose de las Lavas,
Havana province. A detachment OF
Spanish soldiers surprised six insur-
gents who, however, made their es-
cape, which angered the Spaniards and
they began to raid the houses in the
neighborhood, alleging that the inhab-
itants were in sympathy with the
rebels.
The SpaniarGs went to the sugar es-
tats of Frederick L. Craycroft, who
came here from Indiana three years
ago. Some of the soldiers entered the
house and two Of them seized Mrs.
Craycroft and assaulted her. The hus-
band, in his desperation, rushed tc
his wifes aid, but was struck down by
q sword in the hands of an officer. Two
terrible gashes were made in his back
and his right arm nearly severed.
The Spaniards looted the house, took
$3.50 in cash and then raided other
houses on the estate. They burned
eight buildings and shot and killed
nineteen inmates, four of whom were
women. Craycroft, when he recover
ed sufficiently, wrote to Vice Consul
Springer at Havana. 1t is understood
that the vice consul cabled an account
of the outrage to Secretary Olney.
The Spanish authorities in Havana
are greatly disturbed because several
thousand insurgents from Gomez army
have entered Matanzas province. So
serious does Weyler consider the situa-
ton that he withdrew 5000 troops from
Pinar del Rio and dispatched them into
Matanzas to stay the advance.
During the seige and subsequent
capture of Guayamara city by the in
surgents, the Spaniards lost 260 killed
and wounded. Three hundred and sew.
enty Spaniards surrendered to Calix-
Ito Garcia commanding the beseiging
forces. Garcia sent word to Gen. Cas-
tellanio that they would be exchanged
for Cubans held by the Spaniards.
