ish Troops.
Havana, March 26.-Another terrible
mistake, attended With loss of life, and
resulting in many soldiers being
wounded. has taken place. In some
manner unexpected, two columns Of
Spanish troops opened fire upon each
other at midday. According to the
few details received here the columns
of troops commanded by Gen. Godoy
and Col. Holguin, ut the Santa Rosa
plantation. near Esperanza, province
of Santa Clara, mutually mistook each
other for insurgents. owing, it is said
to the thickness of the sugar cane.
Each detachment opened fire upon the
other. and for ten minutes shots were
exchanged, resulting in the. killing of
seventeen soldiers, among them Lieut..
Col. Fuenmayer. of the Navas bat
talon. In addition five officers and
eighty-f0nr soldiers were wounded.
Two of the latter have since died,
and six others are MORALLY wounded
and thirty-two are seriously injured.
Lieut.. Col. Fuenmayer died while lead
ing his troops on, and shouting Long
live SPAIN" Owing to the fact that
the meeting of the two columns took
place at midday. the explanation fur
nished by tue Spanish commander is
considered unsatisfactory, and court
martial will follow.

United States or any state from CIV
ing any recognition or financial aid to
any church or religious institution.
Most Of the day was spent on the legls-
lative appropriation bill, which Ia
not yet completed. The paragraphs
substituting salaries for fees for Unit
ed States district attorneys and mar
shAls were agreed to after lengthy
discussion.
The house made rapil progress with
the naval appropriation bill.
Washington, March 2S.-At the open
ing of the session of the house, Mr..

following resolution, which was re-
ferrcd:
whereas. in lien of our present

hereby authorized to appoint nine citi-
zens. eminent in trade, political
economy aud banking, to act with the
controller of the currency as such
commission. and that such commits

The naval appropriation bill was
passed by the house without substan-
tial amendment. An effort was made
by the advocates of a larger increase
of the navy than was authorized by
the bill to increase the number Of bat
tleships from four to six. This in
