HAVANA, June 16.-General Castel!anos,
hearing that Maxine Gomez was at Ciego
Najasa, left Puerto Principe on Monday,
June 8, with five companies Of the Tara
gona battalion, two companies of guer-
rillas, four companies of the Maria Chris
tiana battalion, and a squadron of the
Herman Cortes regiment of cavalry, to-
gether with two field cannon. On the fol-
lowing day they camped at the Saratoga
farm, on two hills well adapted for de-
fence. An insurgent force numbering
about 1000 men tried to capture the Span
ish camp. The enemy was received by the
Maria Christina battalion, which poured
repeated volleys into the insurgent ranks
and beat the attacking force of for an
hour.
Five thousand Surround the Spanish.
At the expiration Of that time force Of
insurgents estimated at about 5000 men
surrounded the Spanish column, which
was arranged in square formation. The
insurgent cavalry charged with some eff
feet, but was compelled to retreat after
nineteen shells had been sent into the
ranks of the horsemen. The firing con-
tinued at intervals throughout the after
noon, and the insurgents, although
severely punished, again returned to the
attack and were again repulsed.
Attack Kept Up All Night.
Skirmishing was kept up all night, and
next day the rebels made two attacks and
We're repulsed both times. Then the in
surgents were charged with the bayonet in
order to protect the hospital, and the
enemy was eventually driven away. Fir
ing was kept up in a desultory manner all
that night, and the insurgents were pre-
pairing to make still another attack upon
the Spanish force when on the morning Of
Thursday the Spaniards were relieved by
the arrival of Colonel Godoy with rein
fOrcements. Had he not arrived the Span-
iards would have been beaten. The rebels
lost from 45O to 500 men, the Spa niaris
only four men killed and about forty
wounded.

STANDPOINT PERSONALS.
Written for the kootenai Herald by
One of Its Correspondents.

100000
One of Its Correspondents.
Mr.. w. c. King, one of the pill
lars of the town, is very hopeful for
the spring trade at this point. He
is one of those citizens whose value
to community it would be hard
to over estimate. He has local
pride and plenty of pluck. His
interest in his business and public
matters pertaining to the town and
county are of the liveliest sort.
Standpoint has her share of good
citizens. Ben Butler is one Of them.
Ben has a quiet tongue but a very
restless mind. He is in all sorts
Of profitable business, and would be
a great help to any town. He is
doing a fairly good trade at this
time.
Another Sandpointer well known
at Bopner's Ferry is Judge Faust.
! am told that he is always in for
whatever is likely to help the town.
He has made very acceptable Off
cial. In the discharge OF his Off
cial duties he has the energetic aid
of Jerry Moore, the Tom Logan of
Sand Point.
the Misses Ferguson and niece
from the blizzard swept prairies of
Dakota gracefully dispense hospi-
tality to the wayfarer who happens
in this balliwick. These ladies have
many kind words for the people of
Bonner's Ferry.
Of the county papers the HERALD
would appear to be the favorite
here, Its items are read and rel
ished There is every reason for
hoping that the identity of inte-
rests of Standpoint and Bonner's
Ferry will support a strong unity
of sentiment and action for all
time. Bonner's Ferry people are
always received with kindness at
Standpoint.
The new station agent, the sue
cessor of Mr.. Redmond, has had
charge of the Northern Pacific in
terests at this place for several
weeks. His name is H. w. Will
kins, and he halls from the good
state of Iowa. He expects his
wife out shortly,
Harry Baldwin is on deck. He
is always active and courteous. The
genial Van (who by the way was
one of the earliest pioneers at the
Ferry is to be found at his accus
toned place. Like all the other
inns of this town his is the "best.'
Van Natter is alright.
l did not see the irrepressible Ig
natz We'll, but his friends assur,
me there has been no abatement il
the wealth Of his cordiality nor tn,
exuberance of his Imagination.

Through the Rockies via the
Great Salt Lake Route

The traveller, tourist or business
man of the west is wise when he
selects the Rio Grande Western
Railway, "Great Salt Lake Route"
for his route across the Rockies.
1t is the only transcontinental line
passing directly through Salt Lake
City, and in addition to the glimpse
it affords of the Temple City, the
Great Salt Lake and the picturesque
Jordan valley, it affords choice of
three distinct routes through the
mountains and the most magnif-
cent scenery in the world. Its road
bed and equipment cannot be eX-
celled by any line west of Chicago;
and while the RIO GRANDE WEST
ERN RAILWAY has been made
far.ous by the beauty and variety
Of the scenery on its line, it is
equally noted for comfort and ele-
gance of its trains. Through Pull
man palace sleeping cars between
Ogden, Salt Lake City and Denver;
through Pullman tourist or family
sleeping cars to Kansas City, Chi
cago and Boston without change;
and free reclining chair cars. For
rates, printed matter, etc, write to
