Villages Burned and Women and

the Attacks.
SEVERAL BATTLES RECENTLY.
Spanish Troops Hold Their Ground
Only Through Superior
Numbers.

HAVANA, CUBA, April 4.-The rebels
still maintain their offensive attitude, and,
despite the announcement of Government
victories they are the ones who make the
attacks, though they are sometimes re-
pulsed when they attack superior force.
They attacked the town of st. Nicolas,
province of Havana, but were driven off
by the garrison there, which largely out
numbered them. They then marched to
Melena del Sur, in the same province,
which place they attempted to enter.
Again they were repulsed, but not before
they had set fire to a number Of houses.
They then proceeded to Guanabo, twelve
miles east OF Havana, and burned the vii
lage, after which they went to Hoyo
Colorado.
During the attacks it is said that five
women, two children and three negroes
were killed. Thirty-five persons were
afterward found wounded. The rebel loss
is unknown. Altogether 1872 houses and
huts were burned.
Various reports locate Gomez near the
border line between Santa Clara and CANA
guey.
In an engagement between Colonel Vas
quez's column and 500 rebels, the insur-
gents lost nineteen killed and three
wounded. The fight lasted four hours.

SWIFT CRAFT FOR CUBAys
hemorkabte Steel Steamer That May FL,

the Single Star.
CHICAGO, ILL. April A Washington
special says: In the shipyard at Alex
andria, Just across the river from Wash
ington, is singular looking boat. on
which the agents OF the Cuban revolution
lists have had their eyes for considerable
length OF time, and now that there is a
prospect OF their securing recognition as
belligerents there seems to be a good
chance that the curious-looking craft NAV
yet fly the single star of Cuba libre.
The vessel is the steel steamship How
ard Cassard, which has been laid up at
Alexandria for the last Two years, and
which has been a constant source of specu-
lation to all the travellers on the Potomac
and especially to the visitors to Mount
Vernon. The ship lies at the present time
out of water, and as seen from the river
looks like nothing else so much as q gigan-
tic knifeblade, for it is high and long and
thin, and if one can judge by its lines
ought to move through the water with the
ease and rapidity of a swordfish.
Some little time ago rumors were afloat
that the Cubans had seen in this curious
ship the beginning of their navy, but they

HAVANA, CUBA, April 4 (via Key West
Fla, April 4).-Here is detailed account
OF the latest feat of arms of General Mel
guizo, for which the Queen cabIed compli-
ments. One hundred and twenty-five men

captured one named PEDRO Potrillo, 60
years and colored. Though shot, he de-
Tended himself, and severely wounded
with machete Captain Feijos, and one
lieutenant and two soldiers slightly, before
being killed.
Aguirre's column of insurgents arrived
and the soldiers retreated and joined the
battalion at Banjo, remaining intrenched
during the night.
The next day General Melguizo ad-
vanced, 800 strong, crossed the Rico Hoio
farm and killed nine unarmed EMPLOYEES
with swords. They went to the Garrido
estate, owned by Gertrudis Pedroso. and
killed eight employees, all unarmed, among
whom was one child years old, and one
13years of age, and an American citizen.

was entirely severed from the body. The
troops fired the cane-feds for the purpose
of driving out any Cubans in hiding. They
also burned a fine stone dwelling worth
$25, 900.
Melguizo's official report stated that
eighteen insurgents were killed, the Span
ish lost captain, seriously wounded, and
Lieutenant and two soldiers SLIGHTLY
wounded. Melguizo is the same officer
who commanded the troops that COM
mitted the Delgado affair. The Minister
OF War at Madrid cabled on March 81:
Knowing with satisfaction the feat of arms
realized by General Melguizo of the Gallicia
squadron, her Majesty and the Government
compliment him, regretting the serious wound
ofCaptain Feijos, to whom her Majesty comedies

gestions.

promptly denied the stories, and 1t is only
within the last few days, on the eve Of the
passage of the Cuban resolutions by Con-
gress, that the fact has been definitely
established that active negotiations are on
foot, and that an option has actually been
secured on the ship in the interest of the
Cubans.
The Howard Cassard is an exceedingly
curious bit of marine architecture. 1t is
the result of theory of Baltimore man,
who believed he could construct a ship
which would be particularly well adapted
to the carrying of ocean mails. and which
would reach rate of speed not equaled
by anything of its size and engine ca
pacity. The vessel is 225 feet from stem to
stern and has depth of hold of 18 feet.
drawing 10 feet in the mean.
The singular feature with this unusual
length-equal to that of the old type OF
lake propeler-the steamer has breadth
of beam of only sixteen feet, and for this
reason when out of the water, as at pres
ent, it looks like tremendous knife blade.
At first sight one would say that when in
the water the ship would certainly tip over
If one of the sailors stepped TO its side;
but further examination shows that it has
seventy-fve tons of lead built into the
knifeblade keel, which renders it thor
oughly safe.
The deck is of steel, curved over some
what after the style of the whalehacks, and
there are no upper works at ell, so that
when sea is taken aboard it runs off like
water from ducks back. Every sixteen
feet there is a complete water-tight bulk
head, SO that the ship is divided into
number of compartments, as result of
which it could stand considerable shelling
from a man-of-war before it would actually
go to the bottom. The boat can be had
for $4,000. The negotiations have been
carried on by Congressman Woodham of
Chicago.
