Win Victory at Jiguani
Yesterday
Spanish Are Vanquished by
Americans.
Spanish Preparing for last Des-
perate Struggle.

New YORK, June 9.-The Cuban
Junta has obtained news of great
victory the insurgents obtained over
Spanish at Jiquani in the province Of
Santiago, on May %.
1t was one Of the most decisive bat
ties which the patriots have gained in
many months. A column of Spanish
soldiers 1900 strong, marching under
orders from Havana to Bandon and
the interior towns and advancing to.
ward the coast, evacuated the town
of La Piedra after having destroyed
their Notifications to prevent them
from falling into the hands of the
insurgents, and camped at Jiguani,
where they expected to remain await
ing further orders. They were joined
there by detachment of 300 Spanish
soldiers from Santa Rita, and the two
forces were united in camp at il
uani.
The Spaniards were surprised on the
22nd CT May by division of first
corps belonging to Callxto Garcia's
command, under the leadership Of
Colonel Jose Jesus Rabi. With him
also were Colonel Lora, commanding
the First cavalry, and Colonel Montair
of the Infantry regiment. ''Cuba
libre," The Cubans numbered a
little more than 1000 men, while the
Spaniards had fully twice that num-
Der.
The Cubans advanced in good order,
we'll equipped with arms and ammu-
milton, and completely surprised the
enemy. At the start the Spaniards
scattered, but afterwards made an eff
fort to rally their forces. They only
succeeded in being able to retreat in
regular order to the village of Palma.
There were reinforced by several
hundred men from Aguicota and
Arrota Blanco, and turned upon the
Cubans, and the battle was renewed
with fury.
The Spaniards were recovering some
of the ground which they had lost,
when at most opportune moment
the Cuban regiment Aguileraie came
up from General Garcia's command
and attacked the enemy in the rear,
simultaneously with this the regi.
ment Santiago attacked them on the
left Hank so the Spaniards were forced
to flee, hemmed in on both sides. In
their flight from JIguapi the Span.
iards were forced to leave behind
much of their ammunition and sup.
plies, so that they were to a consider
able extent handicapped in fighting,
while on the other hand the Cubans
seemed to be we'll equipped and oD the
aggressive.
After SIX hours hard fighting at
Palma, which is only short distance
from Jiguanl, the Spaniards raised
flag of truce and expressed themselves
as willing to surrender. Terms were
speedily arranged, and the = Cubans
took as prisoner one Spanish colonel,
seYen captains and several other of
tcers, besides 1903 soldiers. The Span
ish loss amounted to 76 dead aud a
large number wounded. Included in
the Spanish losses were 10 officers.
The Cuban sustained a heavy loss,
