An Engagement Takes Place Near
Cienfaegos.
sPANIARDs ATTACK A HOSPITAL.

General Reeo's Troops Charge with
the Machete, and the spaniards Re-

ticed on Defenseles Persons.
Havana, July 27.-One of the hottest
engagements of the war took place on
Wednesday last at Cartagena, Burros
and Los Eunucos, three small villages
in the middle Of estates of the same
names near Cienfuegos. Details have
just arrived here. The Spanish forces
were the battalion of Saboya, and the
Cubans were led by General Alfredo
Rego. About 1000 men fought on each
side.
The Spanish were going to attack a
Cuban hospital near Los Eunucos.
when General Rego came to its de-
fence. After brief firing the Spanish
made dashlng bayonet charge on the
Cuban vanguard, and the Cubans re-
treated. Had it not been for General
Rego's courage the fight would have
ended in the utter Defeat of his men
and the capture of the hospital. The
Spaniards reached the hospital itself,
but there Rego, collecting his men
again. ordered them to charge eel ma
chete." The Cubans then poured from
all sides upon the Spaniards and in
the terrible hand-to-hand fight which
ensued drove their foes back In dis
order. Regos shouts to his men and
the fierceness Of his attack decided
the victory.
General Rego declares that the Span
iards behaved bravely until the order
to charge with the machetes was given
to the Cubans. Then they weakened.
and in their flight left in the hands Of
their foes 80 rifles, 700 rounds of am
munition and their killed and wound
ed. About 200 hats were left on the
field by the fugitive soldiers. The Gu
ban losses as officially declared by
Rego, were "a killed and so wounded by
the Spanish bayonet charge. The
Spanish lost 40 killed and 81 wounded.

went to the hills of Vergara, where
they found the house of pacitico
named Manuel Luis. They killed Luis.
his brother Matias. another pacifico
named Francisco Espnosa and the
wives and five children of the three
men. After the bodies had been cut
to pieces. the Spaniards placed them
in the house and burned 1t.
At Sierra Naranjito Santa Clara, a
large number of pacificos was concern
trated. and they were all dying from
hunger last week, and were not allowed
to leave the place to search food In the
country. They were crowded in Al
small huts presenting a pitful spec
tacle A Spanish column passed, and
some of the poor women asked the
officers for permission to seek food for
their dying children. The only answer
was an attack by the Spanish soldiers
on the defenceless people. The un-
armed men tried in vain to defend their
families. In the unequal fight all were
slain except six old persons. Some
women and children were also massa-
cred. The six old male survivors 30
women and 80 children were brought as
prisoners to Santa Clara. The A huts
were burned.
