Another Victory by Telegraph Re-
treating the Insurgents Burned Sey-
efal Houses.
Havana. Oct. 26.-After the last en-
gagement of the Spanish troops with
Antonio Macea, hwenty eight battal-
ions, consisting of 10000 soldiers, were
assigned to occupy the important
stregic points in the mountains from
which the insurgents haH been elected
ia order to prevent the latter from re-
turning and taking possession of them
again.
Col. Segura reports having had an
important engagement with the in
surgent forces under Antonio Maceo
at Soroa in the province of Pinar del
Rio Col. Seguras's report of the en-
gagement states that the insurgents
upon their retreat left 81 killed. His
own column sustained a loss of over 100
men.
The insurgents under Castillo and
Rodriguez made an attack last night
upon Batabano, the southern seaport
of the province of Havana, situated al
most directly south Of this city, and
connected with it by about 30 miles of
railroad. The enemy, it is announced,
was repudiated by the Spanish gar
rison Of the place, but it Is admitted
that in retreating the insurgents burn
ed several houses. Insurgent adyices
say that the attack on Batabano was
very much more successful than the
authorities here are willing to admit.
and that a large number of houses We're
burned and other damage done to the
place. The official report says that
only five soldiers were killed, and, con-
trary to custom, nothing is said about
the loss of the insurgents. The insur-
gents have destroyed with dynamite
culvert near the railroad station of
Mangas, in the pravince of Pinar del
Rio.
