In a fight within a few miles of Santa

the Spanish column under Colonel Aguariez
was defeated by Colonel Barrios with a loss
of nearly 125 killed and wounded. The con-
tending forces numbered about eight hun
dred men. The Cubans drove the Spaniards
back after several machete charges. A
small rapid-fire gun that the Cubans car

Spaniards. The latter also lost four of
icers, the names not being given.
An expedition was landed last week near
La Grande, Santa Clara. Eight hundred
Spanish troops tried to capture the expedi-
ton. One of the Hotchkiss guns that had
been landed moved the Spaniards down as
they advanced to attack. They stood the
fire a few moments and then fled. 1t is said
that the Spanish loss was ninety-eight and
the CubanS much less.

was called to Alexandria to-day to inspect
the big oil well just discovered there that
is the cause of so much excitement. Pro-
fessor Leach, after a thorough Inspection
of the conditions, pronounced The find an
important one. BY actual measurement the
well now yields $50 barrels per day, having
increased from twenty the first day. The
product is being stored in tanks and basins
in the ground, pending the laying of a pipe
line to the tank cars on the railroad a mile
away. Inspector Leach says conditions are
favorable for a big oil boom and oil men
are already on the ground from Ohio and
Pennsylvania, securing leases and prepar-
ing to sink other wells in the neigh5orhood.
Professor Leach, who has examined all the
territory in the vicinity, says the oil indi-
cations are good. He found, in going over
the ground, that all the pipes laid along the
ground from the SaS wells were leaking

MADISON COUNTY FARMERS GETTING
$40 AN GRE FOR LEASES.
Bridge Contract canda ia Jennings
County-CoaI Miners Expected to
Vote on "a Strike To-Day.

Special TO the indianapolis Journal.
ALEXANDRIA, Ind, April 30.-A trip
through the country around this city will
convince the most skeptical that the oil
craze has seized this county with graphing
irons. The farmers are able 10 talk Of
little else save ''oil," and they are all anx-
ious for the holders of the leases on their
lands to sink wells, so they can begin to
realize on the product. Their leases ere so
worded that they are to receive ohe-sixth
of the product of the wells that may be de-
velOped on their lands and a..o a certain
cash payment each year for each well dur
ing the time that it is a producer. This eX-
plains their anxiety to have wells sunk.
Three more wells are to be sunk near this
city in a short time and 1t is believed the
coming summer will see scores Of oil wells
drilled in Madison county.
The country is simply overrun with the
oil leasers and the few farmers who did not
long ago lease to the Indianapolis gas COM
panies are strictly "in it," and demanding
enormous rates for leases and in instances
refuse to lease for any reasonable amount,
holding out for a further development of
the field. 1t is believed that the whole
north end of this county, comprising an
area of over three hundred square miles,
is the richest field, but that the oil field
extends into Grant and DelaWa counties
on the north and east. 1t is estimated that
over a hundred wells are contracted for at
this time that viii be put down Within the
neXt few months and this is aside from the
holdings of the indianapolis gas companies
that secured leases long ago at a very low
figure. They leased for gas, with a clause
that covered the possible oil development,
and just what they are intending to do re-
mains to be seen. Much OF their territory
was secured as low as 80 cents per acre, and
as the land Is now as high as SO per acre
per year in the vicinity of the Carver we'll,
