 KILLED IN BATTLE.
 The first report of the death of Sid- ney Scofeld in a battle at Santiago Is now apparently confirmed from au- thentic sources. MT. Scofield left his position with the railroad In East Hartford, to join the Seventy first regiment of New York, and conflicting reports have been received as to his fate. A letter dated JMne 13 on board the transport Vigilance was received | this week by a young lady of East Hartford from MT. Scofeld. This was undoubtedly delayed in transmission, as it must have been written before the ships left Key West for Cuba. The young lady feels that there is some thing little uncanny in receiving a communication from one whom she had thought of as dead for several days.
