MACEO SECURES MUNITIONS
An Expedition From France Lands
Cargo Of Supplies.
Weyler Tries { Head on the Enemy
and lIOoses Many Men -
Maceo's Astute General
ship Shown.

Havana, Oct. 16.-The following Is an
ccount OF the last fight in Pinar del
Rio. gathered from information re-
ceivcd from Spanish sources:
Maceo left the hills without about
1000 or 1900 men to meet an expedition
that had landed on the island, which
expedition is appears was not the N
brought by the Three Friends" as re-
ported, but one fitted out in France
or some other place, with Cuban n
collected in France. commanded by a
well known Havana lawyer named Fer
nando Friere Andrade. The expedition
appears to have been the most formida-
bic ever landed in Cuba and is said to
have consisted of about 5000 rifles,
1000. 600 cartridges, 5000 blankets and
w~aterproofs. two or three cannon, dy-
mantle, medicines, etc.
Weyler being informed OF the land
ing and that Maceo had sent forces TO
convey the expedition to the hills, sent
five columns, in combination with each
other, to intercept his way, and If pos
sible capture the convoy. AS the result
of this combination there occurred five
successive engagements in which the
Spaniards are said to have lost over 600
men without oDldlIllHB tHeit toNNtNN
object, since Maceo is now reported to
have reached the hills in safety without
having lost a single pack mule on the
convoy.
In all these engagements Maceo has
out-generalled all his foes and has de-
monstrated his great capacity as a mil
itary leader and his remarkable skill
and courage. Maceo. having succeeded
in reaching his mountain strongholds
with the powerful elements he has now
obtained, il can be safely predicted tina
IL will be utterly impossible for the
Spaniards to dislodge him, as II o
require nearly 100, 900 men for that pur-
pose, according to the opinion OF well
informed and impartial persons. There
is no doubt tina he has sustained great
losses. but everybody believes that they
are much smaller than those OF the
Spaniards.
Calixto Garcia, with $500 men and
four pieces of artillery, left the Bayamo
district recently in the direction OF Ca
maguey He is believed now to be In
the province to join Gomez. His ulti-
mate purpose is unknown.

many were determined, with a view to

the status quo in Turkey. That had
