TAMPA, Fla, Aug. 2.-The story tele-
graphed from Havana last week about
an attack by insurgents ON the suburbs
Of that city is confirmed by passengers
who left Havana on the Plant line
steamer Mascot Saturday and arriving
here last night. Among the number
was Senior Calbager, wealthy Span

are now to be reckoned among the ref
attack referred to was made ON the little
village of Marnanao, about 10 miles
southwest Of the city, and the terminus
Of the Anticipated and dilapidated Mar
nanao railroad.
Senior Calbajer was an eyewitness Of
the raid on Marnanao. He says that
the attack was led by Baldomeroa,
Coasta, Juan Delgado and Hernandez.
The insurgent chiefs left 900 Of their
troops outside of the town and carried
in 300 to the attack. They were we'll
armed with dynamite rapid-fire guns
and met with but slight resistance.
The engagement was short and desper-
ate. Forty-nine Spaniards were killed
and 100 wounded two Cuban were
killed and 40 wounded. The inhab-
itants of the town fed for their lives,
leaving the insurgents in complete pos
session. They sacked the place and Sc
cured $4,000 in gold, beside a large
quantity of supplies that they could not
carry away.
Other passengers tell about the same
story Of the affair.
Senior Calbajer says that the widest
terror reigns in Havana and that the
we'll do inhabitants are leaving as
fast as local laws will permit.

Out to Hunt Him.
WILLIAMSON, W. Va. July 81
Every effort to recapturs or even learn
the whereabouts of the notorious Cap
Hatfield. who, with outside assistance.
delivered himself from Jail here Wednes.
day night. has mp to this time proved
futile The sheriff has scouts out who
are asing all diligence TO locate the
fugitive and reward has been pub
hshed for his body, dead or alive. All
persons are warned to take no chances
when attempting his arrest and the
probability is he will never be taken
alive
A requisition will be made on Gov
ernor Bradley for Hatfield and his
brothers, who were with him at the
time of the killing. so that in case they
are found in Kentucky, which is only
100 yards from the Jail in which they
are confined, he may DO reoaptured
1t is hardly likely they are there
however, as Hatfield is wanted on
graver charges there than here
The general belief Is that he lie among
his kinsmen in the mountains Of this
county. who will resist every attempt
TO arrest him. The authorities are de-
termined to have not only Gap" but
Troy and Elias, who were with him at
the killing. aud unless they fly the
country they will be captured, even II
the state militia has to be called out.
