the interior as soon after July as pos

two Georgian sisters, walking near their
convent, beyond the Pesa. were set upon
by soldiers, who bound and gagged the
elder and assaulted the younger. The re-

Fierce Fighting at the Trocha
Results in a Victory for
Cuban Patriots.
AN AMBUSH OF THE REGULARS
Among the Prisoners Taken Is Gen.
eral Inclan. Who Will Be Held
as a Hostage.

NEW YORK, N. Y, July ia Herald
special from Key West, Fla, says:
The Spaniards under General Inclan
have sustained crushing defeat at the
hands of the insurgents under Antonio
Maceo according to advices received by
the Cuban revolutionary leaders in this
city.
Not only was Inclan's column defeated
with heavy loss, but the Cuban leaders
are informed that it is currently reported
in Havana that the Spanish general him
self captured and is now held as a pris-
oner by Maceo.
The battle is said to have occurred on
July 15, near Maceo's stronghold in the
province of Pinar del Rio.
For the last two weeks the insurgents
have been very aggressive, and small par
ties have repeatedly attacked the trocha,
causing the Spaniards much annoyance.
General Inclan was ordered to drive back
these detached bands of insurgents, and
for this purpose took with him 1000 men.
Maceo seems TO have expected such a
movement and arranged to ambush the
Spaniards. The Spaniards followed the
insurgent skirmishers incautiously and
fell into the ambush.
Then the Cubans opened fire from all
sides, which threw the Spaniards into con-
fusion. While the Spaniards were thus
disordered the Cubans charged, completely
routing their foes.
General Inclan made desperate effort
TO rally his demoralized forces, but was
surrounded by the Cubans and compelled
to surrender.
1t is reported in Havana, according to
the revolutionists here, that the Spaniards
were pursued almost to the trocha, and
lost more than 800 men killed and
wounded.
There were fourteen officers among the
killed. Cubans here also say Maceo will
hold 1nclan as a hostage to save the lives
OF prominent insurgent officers who have
been captured by the Spaniards.
