To Spanish Minister. V

To Spanish Minister, Washington, D. C.:
 The brigades of Generals Gasco, Ruiz and Segura met in succession the forces commanded by Maximo Gomez, defeating them and obliging them to disperse in re- treat. Twenty dead were counted and a great number of rebels were wounded. Four battalions occupy all the passes to Mantanzas and Las Villas and prevent the retreat of Gomez to the west. The trocha of Jucaro almost completely closed makes it very difficult for him to retreat to the east. Seven columns are operating between these lines in pursuit of Gomez.

Odd Traction Engine.

NJ. Palmtag. of Whatcom. has invented
a traction engine which he is confident

loads in Alaska. Its most striking faa-
ture is found in the front truck, which
has two especially designed sprocket
wheels, four feet in diameter. fast with
the shafts. Around each pair OF wheels a
strong endless chain Is strung. carrying q
roller In each link. To this chain are
fastened wooden eleats bound with iron,
thus forming an endless track. As the
wheels are turned they lay this track on
the ground In front, the weight OF the
truck holding IL there immovable. The
rear wheels then pass over the track,
picking II up again from behind. Thus.
the track on which the wheels rest Is not
moving. and yet the machine as a whole
goes forward Special safeguards are
adopted TO prevent clogging from snow.
Mr.. Palmtsg has constructed a model OF
his engine and is prepared to show its
feasibility and practical working.
