Weyler's Retreating Army Reaches
JarucO-TOwn Is Sacked.
Key West, Fla. Ang. 13.-An impor-
tant engagement took place near Car
denas, Matanzas province. The Span
iards were badly defeated with very
heavy loss. Gen. Molina was killed.
The fight lasted several hours and Gen.
Weyler was obliged to retreat from
Aguacate to Jaruco. The insurgents
are waiting outside of the town to see
it they can attack his forces there.
The people of Havana fear the dam
gers of the situation of Weyler. Near
ly all the Cuban forces of Havana prov
ince are concentrated near Jaruco.
Near Gibira, Santiago de Cuba prov
ince, the town of Rosalia was attacked.
The insurgents entered the town with
out resistance, finding many Spanish
soldiers drunk in the street and most of
the officers at ball. They made
machete charge, killing one captain,
three lieutenants and 30 soldiers. Twen-
ty-fire guerrillas who came to the aid of
the Spaniards were macheted. After
sacking the town it was burned, and
only three houses were left.
Weyler has ordered all stores at Es-
peranza not 10 sell goods, but to close
their doors. The people are dying of
hunger and the sick cannot buy drugs.
Weyler wants them punished because
the insurgents entered the town and
the people made no resistance.

HOPEFUL SIGNS.
Encourage the Belief I'm Approach OF
Prosperity.

New York, Aug. AR. G. Dun &c Co.,
in their weekly review of trade, say:
Every city reporting this week notes in
crease in trade, and nearly all bright crop
prospects. The great change in business
is emphasized by the presence of null
titude of buyers from all parts of the cOun-
try, by their statements of the situation at
their homes and more forcibly yet by the
heavy purchases they are making. But
the customary signs of prosperity are not
lacking. The strong rise in stocks, the
growth of bank clearings and railroad
earnings, the heavy speculation in many
products, but most of all in wheat, have
made the week one of SURPRISING interest
even to those who best remember the up
ward rush in 1879.
Even the demand for corn, by greatly
exceeding last years. shows that foreign
anxieties are serious, for 5,5l0,135 bushels
have been exported in two weeks from At
lantic ports, against 2,514 ,42S last year. The
price has advanced LIP cents, notwith-
standing enormous stocks being brought
over. The urgency of French buying of
wheat, reports that Russia will stop ex-
ports in order to keep supplies for itself
and continued shipments from the Pacific
to countries usually having surplus make
even the largest estimates of probable sup
plies not too great for the possible demand.
"In all the great industries a large de-
mand for products appears, with strong
speculation in materials and in intermedi
ate products. In the iron and steel branch
starting of many works after settlement:
of wages keeps prices low and even de-
presses some. but the fact that the de-
mand is growing leads to heavy purchases

a general rout They left verything
