LOSS OF THE INSURGENTS.
Two Officers and Two Privates Killed
 and Nine Wounded


 HAVANA, June 13.-The United States cruiser Montgomery at about o'clock this afternoon approached nearer than is usually the case to the Santa Clara battery and fired three shots at Punta Grava. The first shot was fired at 5000 metres and the others were fired at 5000 metres. The Mont gomery then resumed her place in the blockading line. Her projectiles fell very near the battery. A Spanish bat tery east of MoTro Castle fired one shot at another American warship.
 The advices from Mantanzas just re- ceived say that on Saturday last 200 insurgents, commanded by Bermudez and Aguila made an attempt to enter Comayagua, and succeeded in burn ing some houses, but the insurgents were repulsed with loss, including one captain Morrison, one lieutenant and two privates killed and a sergeant, corporal and nine privates wounded. The Spanish had nineteen men wound ed. The same force of insurgents was afterward encountered on Saturday and Sunday last, and the Spaniards claim they dispersed them with a loss of twelve killed. The insurgents are also reported to have carried away many of their wounded and to have abandoned a quantity of property which they footed at Comayagua
 The local guerrilla force of Las lucas, province of Santa Clara, it is officially announced, has been engaged with and dispersed an insurgent force, which left eight men killed on the field.

about it that Comte de Dion had to in- tervene as official as the account of the first encounter had not yet been drawn up and signed by M. Gerault Richard as second.
 This encounter was not as sensational as the first. The adversaries were more wary and eight rounds were fought be- fore wound was given on either side. At last during an animated bit of fenc- ing Bernard's sword touched Gerault Richard in the forehead and the flow of blood obstructed his sight. This duel was also stopped, much to the express ed disgust of the two opponents. While they were dressing, M. Bruneau de La bori, one of the offended members of the St Georges Fencing Club came up to Gerault Richard and made an insult ing remark. M de Jean, business man. ager of the Petit Republique, here in terposed with the remark that such conduct was inhuman. Upon this M. Labori turned on his heel, saying: "Gerault Richard, you are rascal"
 You may imagine that there was hubbub. However, no further encoun- ter took place there and then, but Ge- rault Richard is to send his second to Bruneau de Lahori tomorrow. The procession then returned to Paris.

WeIl-Directed Shell From the Vixen Deals Death
 to the SpaniardS.
Details of the Incident Attending the Landing of Supplies for the
 Cubans Near Juan Gonzales.

ON BOARD THE HERALD-CALL DISPATCH BOAT, off Guantanamo, Cuba, June II, via Port Antonio, Jamaica, Tuesday. June 14.-The Span ish cavalry which rashly made it's ap- pearance near Juan Gonzales last We'd neSday, while the American ships Were reconnoitering to land supplies for the insurgents, learned a brief but eff ctive lesson. A we'll directed shell exploded in their ranks and killed several of them. The supplies consisted of 400 rifles, five tons of provisions and 60,000 rounds of ammunition. The ammuni- tion was part of the cargo of the first ill-fated expedition of the Gussie when an attempt to land was repulsed by the Spaniards.
 The converted yachts Vixen and Su- vance arrived off Juan Gonzales, a will lage about eight miles from Santiago, it having been arranged that the insur- gents under General Ceberaco should receive supplies there. Small boats sent in to select a landing place report ed that the surf was too high to make the operation safe, and so a change of plans was made. While the gunboats lay to, near the shore, courier from the Cubans appeared and ran down the beach waving his arms. When with in hailing distance, he shouted: "Spaniards coming, Spaniards com ing" and disappeared in the brush. Three minutes later the men in the ships saw a detachment of Spanish cavalry appear over the hill and ad- vance rapidly toward the beach. The

 PARIS, June 4.-What began as a duel nearly ended in a battle to-day In the first place, only two meetings were arranged. These were between Count Castellane and M. Turot and M. Gerault Richard, editor-in- chief of the Petite Republique, and M. Bernard.
 The Petite Republique has been get ting into hot water all around of late. Recent articles offended members of the St. Georges Fencing Club. The consequence was that a detachment turned up at the place arranged for a duel to-day, every one eager to chaI- lenge NJ. Gerault Richard Paris for a brief space seemed to have returned to the d'Artagnan period. Swords were crossed on the open highway, Gerault Richard, being second, then principal and coming within an ace of taking an active part in a third encounter in the same spot. The place of the meeting was at Neuilly, just outside of Paris on the right bank of the Seine, and just op- posite the Velodrome. Shortly after 10: 30 o'clock number of landaus arrived there. The first contained Count Cas- tellane, with his seconds and Comtes de Dion and Elva; the second M Henri Turot and M. Gerault Richard and NJ Viviani as seconds of M. Turot, and M Andre le Febre as second of M. Gerault Richard, and the third containing M. Charles Bernard, Gerault Richards ad- versary, and his seconds, M Chiche and M. Papilland.
 But this was not all. Other carriage followed in a long procession. Two members of the St. Georges Fencing Club. M. Louis de Heredia and M. Bruneau de Labori, were there. deter mined in insult Gerault Richard and compel him to accept a meeting on &C., count of an article in the firebrand journal of which he is editor-in- chief. There were journalists innumerable, fencing connoisseurs by scores, friends of the principals, a..d seconds, doctors, journalists, altogether quite as pretty a battle as could have been got up.
 Among those present was Ciperani, the well-known revolutionist. He is still suffering from wounds received in Thessaly, and when he got out of his carriage and hobbled to the place of meeting on a pair of crutches, he gave a sinister touch to the nicture that was quite in keeping. At 10:30 Comte de Dion, director of the first encounter,
The San Francisco call., 1898-06-15

gave the signal for swords to be crossed. Castellane was in front of his adversary, who was much taller and heavier. Both were excellent fenc- CTS, both courageous. both reckless, and the onslaught was very savage. Cas- tellane gave way little at the begin ming, but before the first round was over he reached Turot's right hand. As the wound was not serious he re- fused to let the duel finish and the doc tors did not object. The second attack was without incident, but in the third Castellane began to press his adver- sary more and more. Finally he gave a savage lunge, which went home, the sword transfxing Turot's right fore arm. Blood flowed abundantly and the muscles stiffened immediately, so that it was impossible for the wounded man to hold sword, and the doctors insisted that the duel stop.
 Hardly had the first combatants laid down their weapons when M. Bernard and M. Gerault Richard took their places. Indeed, they were so quick

Vixen and Suwanee drew off about 300 yards from shore and the former sent a shell singing landward from her star board gun. It seemed to burst right in the faces of the astonished Spaniards, who galloped away in every direction.
 Aserradero, a village lying about tWenty-one miles west of Santiago, was then selected as a landing place for the arms and ammunition, and the Vixen and Suwanee arrived there on Wednesday afternoon. General Ce- beraco and detachment of insurgents were waiting and the supplies were successfully landed by surf boats
 General Ceberaco was enthusiastic over the Juan Gonzales incident. Splendid" he cried, when he boarded the Vixen. ''The shot landed right in the center of the cavalry and several were killed
 From Aserradero the SuwaLee steam ed away to rejoin Admiral Sampson's fleet and the Vixen dropped down the coast to Guantanamo, where she prob ably will remain until the long expected troops arrive.
 Arriving at Guantanamo the day be- fore yesterday the HeraId-C Call dis patch boat found the cruiser Marble head and the Vixen, the latter coaling from the Sterling. The officers of the Vixen expressed the opinion to me that this place seemed to be an ideal spot for effecting landing of troops. They were under the impression that the transports bearing an army for the re- duction and occupation of Santiago must be already on the way around the eastern end of the island and should arrive here within few days. At least some of this army, it is expected, will make landing at Guantanamo.
