a great battle yesterday in the last

Weyler Still Pursuing the Enemy in
the Wrong Direction.

Havana, Feb. 13.-Jose Narela Zurega
Il prominent physician, has been arrested
on u charge of conspiracy against the
government. The DOCTORS brother,
Eduardo, was transported to the
Chaffarine islands some time ago.
Eight native Philippine Officers have
been transfer red from the army there for
service in Cuba.
About 800 families have arrived in the
city of Santa Clara from the country
Their homes have been completely de.
stroycd by the Spanish troops who are
burning or otherwise destroying every
thing Of value in the province outside the
cities and towns. The condition Of the
refugees * pitiabe. Many of them
were not able to obtain lodgings in the
city, having no money to pay therefor,
and they have been compelled to camp in
the outskirts, where they have little or
no protection from the elements.
The rebels have apparently disappeared
from the province Of Santa Clara, but it
is known that they are sheltered in the
hills, where the Spanish troops cannot
reach them.
All the columns accompanying Gen.
cral Weyler are said to be seeking them,
but can find no trace. AS the troops
have made no attempts to enter the
hills, it is quite certain they will discover
no insurgents so long rs the latter re-
main ensconsed in their hiding places.
General Wevler to-day continued his
march through the province. His forces
are divided into three columns, he him,
self commanding the center one.
Captain Ochoa reports from Glen
fuegos that he ~has repulscd I'm attack
made by about 200 rebels. lie said that
it is reported that the rebels were led 10y
( various chiefs, and that they were escort,
| ing the members of the rebel government
| This is not believed in Havana, as it i.
not thought probable that such small
number OF insurgents, when entrusted
with the duty of escorting their govern
ment, would attack Il Spanish force.
