at one time caused his family and

A BIG BATTLE
IS EXPECTED.
Spaniards VIII Make an Attempt TO
Capture Banes.
STRONGLY HELD BY INSURGENTS.
The spaniards Succeed in Nearly Destroy
ing the Town, But Thus Far Have
Been Unable to storm the
Fortifoations Erected.

Havana, April 15.-Banes, an i'm
portant port on the north coast, near
Gibara, from which go heavy annual
expectations of bananas and cocoa
nuts to the United States, was almost
entirely destroyed by the Spaniards
yesterday,
The expedition under General Roloff,
by the steamer Laurada, carrying @ 400
rifles, 100000 cartridges and several
pieces Of rapid firing artillery, landed
alongside the quay at Banes. General
CaliXto Garcia, with 5000 men, came to
protect the convoy OF arms and am
munition, but as Roloff had no men to
arm Garcia was compelled to carry the
arms into the interior
It is reported that the insurgents,
hearing that a Spanish gunboat might
arrive at any moment, closed the en-
trance Of the port with torpedoes. Cen
eral Roloff, assisted by local bands,
and finally by the soldiers under Cen
eral Garcia, commenced to fortify the
heights around the port, hastily cast
Ing up trenches to make the port tenn
porarily impregnable to any Spanish
forces in the neighborhood of Gibara,
The gunboats Nueva Espanas and
Mealicia had arrived at Nipe from
Havana, The cruiser Reina Mercedes
had left Havana on the 18th with four
companies of marines and infantry
under the command of Rear Admiral
Marenco to unite with all the forces
which had left Nipe and Gibara, with
a view to a combined land and sea at
tack upon the insurgent position for
the recovery of the port of Banes.
Nipe is separated from Banes by the
San Remon peninsula, Three columns,
1000 men in all, marched ~ Banes,
where they are detained in full view
Of the formidable and nearly impreg-
nable insurgent positions.
Relnforcements have been sent for
ward by the Spaniards, and Admiral
Navarro sailed today by the cruiser
Legaspi for the Caribbean and thence
for Nipe, to personally direct the at
tack by sea. The reinforcements ex-
pected will be under General Livares.
Evidently an important battle is in
sight II the insurgents try to defend
their advantageous stronghold and
their claim of being able to hold a sea-
port Great anxiety exists with refer
ence to the garrison of 100 men in the
fort defending the quay at Banes. 1t
Is believed they viii be compelled to
surrender for lack of water and sup
plies,
