CUBAN SUCCESSES.
The Insurgents Celebrate New
 Years Near Cartauena.
COL. R0SrS SPANISH FORGE ROUTED.
Spanish Column Under Col. Seguirs Drawn Into an Ambush in the Pinar Del Rio Hills and De-
 feated with Heavy Loss.

KEY WEST, Fla, Jan. 6-Advices from Havana say there was a bloody engagement on New Years day be- tween Spaniards and insurgents near Cartagena, town in the western part of Matanzas province, near the santa Clara line.
 Near Cartagena were encamped 1, 200 Spaniards under Col Rosi, who had been ordered Co prevent the vanguard of Gomez from crossing the Rio Gion- zalo, On New Years day the Span lards were attacked by 1000 Cuban infantry and 800 cavalry. The Span iards held strong position and had field pieces, but the Cubans made a direct charge. The insurgents, how ever, were repulsed.
 The Cuban commander then ordered his cavalry to turn the flank of the Spaniards and attack them in the rear. This maneuver was executed. and as the cavalry charged the Span. lards from the rear the Cuban infantry attacked in front. The Spanish forces broke and fled, being pursued by the Cubans almost to Cartagena.
 It is said Il Spanish officers were killed, including Col. RosI. It is also reported that 140 Spanish privates were killed and nearly 200 wounded. The Cubans are said to have lost 60 killed and about 90 wounded. The Cubans captured four field pieces and many small arms.
 ANOTHER SPANISH RoUT.
 Havana adviees also report that the Spaniards under Col. Seguira have been routed in Pinar del Rio by the ubans under Gen Rivera, who sue ceeded Maceo. It is stated that Col Segnira, with 2,00o men, attempted to carry Riveras position in the Pinar del Rio hills. Rivera threw out small par ties, who fell back, and the Spaniards were drawn on until caught by an en- tilading fire, which threw them into confusion.
 Rivera then ordered charge and Seguira's broken ranks were swept down the hills with frightful losses. Rivera pursued the Spaniards till nightfall.
 It is claimed that Seguira lost nearly 300 killed and 400 wounded, while the Cuban losses was small.
 When the news reached Havana, it was suppressed and Spanish officials spread the story of Riveras death to counteract the effect of the story of the disaster to Seguira.
 It is said that steamer reached Havana on Friday with 300 of Segui- ra's wounded men. These men were guarded to prevent their talking of the disaster

The President Elect Finds Them Numer-

 CLEVELAND, O., Jan. 6.-Mai. McKin- ley is having as many callers in Cleve- land as he had during his Chicago visit, and has practically given up all thought of rest Senator J. NJ. Thurs ton, of Nebraska, arrived from the west, and went out to Mir. Hanna's suburban residence to breakfast with the president-elect He re- mained with Maj. Mckinley till one o'clock when he left for Washington. Gen. William Mckinley Osborne, secretary of the Republican national committee. also left for Wash ington on the same train to consult with local committees about plans for the inauguration.
 Maj. Mckinley will leave Cleveland for Canton early Wednesday morning and return here Wednesday evening to remain till the first of next week.
 Senator Allison will stop in Canton Wednesday, on his way to Washington.
 Gen. Felix Agnus, of Baltimore, and some other politicians from a distance will also come to consult with the president-elect. The visit of Senator Allison to Canton is regarded as an event of more than ordinary i'm. portance. owing to the widespread belief that Maj. Mckinley desires him to be secretary of state or secretary of the treasury.

 Charges of Corruptfon

He Doesn't Like the spapssb Pr..,
 Charges of Corruption.
 MADRID, Jan. 6.-The Imparcinl nnb. iishes report of an interview had by the correspondent of the paper in Ha. Vana with Capt. Gen. Weyler Monday.
 ten. Weyler IS quoted as saying that be Is greatly surprised at the courss taken by certain Madrid newspapers Tn charging that gross corrup. lion exists in the military administration in Cuba. Doubt. less, he says, there have been some abuses, but these have been remedied whenever they have be. come known. In proof of this the captain-general gives instances of his dismissal of several judges for fraudulent practices in the purchase of horses and mules in the last cam paign in the Pinar del Rio provinc ce Gen. Weyler says he expects to put an end to the rebellion in the Havana district within n fort. night, and to accomplish the pacifica. ton of the island to the Jucaro trocha In the Matanzas province long before the rainy season sets in. The entire situation, Gen. Wevler thinks. nre- sents an exceptionally good aspect lie is still of the belief that military action ought to be allowed to have a free course until the end of the re- oelilon, and he is also convinced that no reform in the administration is now necessary.

------------ A KENTUCKY MOB.
Paris Walter in Danger of Lynching at
 Paintsville, Ky.

PAINTsvnLE, Ky, Jan. 6,-Paris Walter, charged with killing Lyndsey Conley near here Saturday evening, has been arrested and placed in iail. There are grave fears of mob violence, and strong guard has been placed around the jail The examining trial Is in progress. Congressman Fitzpat- rick has been employed for the de- fense.
 At a. m. barn in the extreme west end of the town was fired and the guards at the jail thinking it ruse of a mob to draw the citizens away from the jail, at once gave the alarm and in a very short time the citizens, we'll armed, marched to the jail to assist the guards in repulsing the mob, should one appear. The church bells were rung, and men, women and chil- dren joined in giving the alarm that a mob was approaching. However, the report proved to be incorrect, and everything is now quiet A big crowd from the vicinity in which the mur- dered man resided is here.
