FIGHT IN P|NAR DEL Rio,
Engagements in Which the Span
iSh Claim to Have Been
Victorious.
General Marin's Forces Sent to the Re.
lief of the Beleaguered
Towns.

HAVANA, CUBA, Feb. 8.--An engage
ment occurred to-day between Spanish
column led by Colonel Segueras and an
insurgent force under General Maceo, near
Canuelaria, in the province of Pinar del
Rio. 1t is reported that the insurgents
lost eighty killed and many wounded. On
the Spanish side, Captain Gil is known to
have been wounded. The other losses to
the rebel forces have not been ascertained.
The lighting in Pinar province in The
last few days has been the most severe
since the beginning of the war. The con-
dition to which the Spanish forces in the
west are reduced has led Marin to abandon
the attempt to force battle with Gomez,
delay his return to Havana and 60 to the
relief OF the beleaguered towns.
Maceo's forces include the bands of Miro,
Sotomeyer, Delgado, Zayas and Bermudes.
The official government reports give them
strength of 600, probably much greater
Combined forces fought pitched battle
with Luque at Paso Real Monday. The
latter reported that the rebels formed in
line of battle and charged the Spanish
lines with great valor. Luque claimed q
complete victory and asked for the San
Fernando cross, having remained in COM
mand though shot through the leg.
After the fight Luque withdrew his force
to the capital OF the province. Wednesday
the same parties of rebels besieged Can
delaria. railroad town near the Havana
province border. They had apparently
recovered from the battle with Luque
The volunteers and small detachment
made heroic defense of Candelaria for
twenty-six hours.
Marin, who was about leaving Artemisi
for Havana, ordered Canella to the relief
of Candelaria and to attack Maceo.
He took all the available forces and pro-
ceeded in person to support Canella. The
latter made remarkable march, reached
Candelaria, and found the insurgents
swarming in the towns in that vicinity
The garrison held out though many fell.
The troops of the Smancia and Zamoria
battalions attacked the besiegers, and the
feht continued two hours. The insur-
gents made several machete charges
against Spanish troops. The latter used
artillery. The losses were heavy on both
sides.
The troops finally entered Candelaria
Thursday night. The insurgents moved
west to San Cristobal. .Marin's column
arrived at Candelaria, and Canella fol-
lowed Maceo. Another battle is expected.
1t is impossible to learn the losses at Can
delaria accurately. The Government says
twenty-six dead insurgents were found on
the field of battle and afterward discov-
cred nineteen more. Their own losses are
given as five dead and forty-eight wounded.

Some of the Netv Bonds Viii Haze to Be
Destroyed.
WASHINGTON. D. c., Feb. 8.-An
error has, been discovered in the printing
on the back of some of the new bonds
which will necessitate their destruction
and reprinting. 1t affects only a few
hundred tho usand bonds.
The error consists in having part of
the back of the new bonds different in
design from the back of the bonds issued
on February 1, 1895. The bonds issued
then were 4 per cent thirty-year bonds,
and those issued now are of the same
issue, being dated February L, 1895, and
must therefore be Identical in all respects
To correct the error will cost but little,
and Chief Johnson of the Bureau of En-
craving and Printing says it will not
cause any delay in the delivery of the
bonds.

FILLING TO RELEASE WALLER.
French Statesmen Would Like to Haze
Indemnity WGiUed.

Eren,h Statesmen Honld Like to Haze
Indemnity HGiUed.
NEW YORK, N. Y, Feb. 8.-A Sun
spec1aI from Washington says: The wal
Ter correspondence, called for several weeks
ago by the Senate, has been declared, when
it is sent in, a conclusion OF the case,
which has now been pending before the
State Department for six months. The
administration has abandoned all hope OF
securing the testimony presented ourlng
the court-martial proceedings in Madagas-
car, and without this it is believed that 1t
would be impossible to substantlate any
good ground for demanding the indemnity
insisted upon by Waller, and but Tor
which he could have been released weeks
ago.
ambassador Eustis, however, has had
access to part of the proceedings, ana on
his report it is understood that the &C.
partment will inform the French Govern
ment that it will accept Walters uncon-
ditional release and waive any rights u
might have to any indemnity claim. wal
ler's friends in this country, and more
especially his wife, have been urging hlm
to hold out and not accept release, wh lch
France offered out of courtesy TO the
United States some time ago, believing
that eventually his claim would be estab-
lished and an indemnity demanded.
The efforts of the department in Wal
ler's behalf are said to have been par
ticularly vigorous since last autumn, and
but for the firm request of the administra-
ton 10 learn what actually occurred at the
court, it is questionable if Mr.. Eustis
would have been permitted TO have con-
suited them at all. The correspondence
regarding the case is very voluminous, and
covers the whole affair from the time it
was taken by Mr.. Gresham until the last
communication received from abroad.

LONDON, Eng, FEB. S.-The Economist
and Statist concur in the opinion that the
new American bond issue will only tenn
porarily relieve the treasury, and advise
investors not to be over-confident in rise
in American stocks. In an interview Mr..
Seligman, a membe of the well-known
clearinghouse, said that the success of the
loan ought to increase public confidence in
the future of the United States. Investors
here, he SAID, have been impressed by the
self-relianee and patriotism of the Ameri-
cans. and will be more inclined to hold
American securities.
Barring Brothers are of the opinion that
the American currency laws must be ad-
iusted before there will be permanent
beneficial effect on the treasury.

PoIi,s Wonderland Theater.

The public will be glad to learn that Manager Poli has been able, by special arrangement with MT Keith, to renew the engagement of Lumiere's cinemato- graphe for another week at the Won derland theater. Such extraordinary interest has been shown in the mar vicious wonder working invention, and so general has been the expression of a desire that the engagement be re- newed, that Manager Poli has under taken to do what he has not been in the habit of doing, continuing an at traction for two continuous weeks at his house. It is notable that the only other attraction ever played at the Wonderland for two weeks in success sion was the Rossow midgets. The in- terest aroused in these lilliputian won ders, however, great as it was, was but drop in the bucket when compared with the extraordinary widespread in- terest felt in the cinema tographe And it looks from present indications that the second week of the cinemato- graphe's exhibition at the Wonderland will exceed in public favor the first. New views will be shown, only such of this weeks being retained as have made the biggest sensation at all the performances.
