Far From Being Spanish Victory
AS Reported.
VALUE OF YANKEE GUNS
LAST SHIPMENT FROM LONG
ISLAND USED.
Owing to the Character of the Coun-
try, the Cubans Had the Advant-
age-Spaniards On Winding
Read That Proved a Regular
Death-trap-Description of Fight


recent battle at Holguin, province OF
Santiago de Cuba, have been received
in New York. Instead of the battle be-
ing a Spanish victory, as represented
from Havana, it was a disastrous de-
feat, followed by retreat on the part
of the Spanish forces. This information
comes through Cuban sources, and IS
the cause for great amount of re-
joicing in Cuban circles, because the
guns and ammunition shipped from
Long Island. less than month ago,
were used in the fight.
Major Miranda, who landed the eXpe-
dition, reports the victory without
many details, but from other letters
which came out by the same mail the
story is told.
FLOWER OF THE SPANISH.
The Spanish forces were commanded
by General Linares, who, for some time,
has been at Holguin making prepara-
tons to march to the city of Santiago
de Cuba His army included cavalry
and artillery. Previous to his start
ing to march he boosted that he would
make the coast, a distance of so miles,
in a direct line, in four days. BY the
road to be followed the distance was 20
miles more, owing to the condition of
the country.
His troops were the most valuable in
the Spanish army, many of them hav-
ing been on the island for three years.
A week before the starting of the
march, the Long Island expedition had
been landed.
To protect the expedition, force un-
der General Garcia had been sent to the
southern coast. In case a demonstra
ton was made, Colonel Manuel Rodr1-
guez was left with a vanguard of 800
men to worry Linares, If he should try
to leave Holguin.
While the expedition, one of the
largest ever landed there, was being
protected from attack, the Spanish gen.
eral marched out from Holguin.
LINARES HANDICAPPED.
Ten miles from Holguin the road be-
came billy and the rocks afforded pro-
lection equal to any modern fortitica-
ton. Colonel Rodriguez men took their
stand in this natural fortifcation near
the town of San Francisco. Owing to
the character of the country, less than
200 Of the Spanish troops could be
brought into action when the Cubans
opened fire.
The road, winding one, was a reg
ular death trap. Linares used his ar
tillery as much as possible, but the
Cuban force, Of less than a thousand
men, could not be dislodged. Failing TO
make progress, Linares marched por-
ton of his command five miles east, to
move by the road which runs to Jigu-
ana, expecting to follow the railroad
leading to Santiago de Cuba His COM
mand was intercepted by a portion of
the Cubans and harassed, so that it was
unable to reach the Cauto river. For
two days it was held in check until
General Garcia and his command could
reach the place

SPANISH RETREAT.

Every day Spanish dead were buried
and the wounded sent back to Holguin.
General Garcia's command did not
reach it's full strength until the fifth
day after the fighting began. On this
day the Spanish columns retreated in
confusion, carrying the wounded to
Holguin and leaving 200 dead on the
field. The Cubans' loss in the five days
fighting was less than so killed. The
real Spanish loss will never be known,
as the dead and wounded were taken
from the field at night. 1t is estimated
that nearly LOCO were killed and
wounded.
From word received from Holguin it
was learned that there were several
companies annihilated by the Cuban
fire. Other letters from the Cuban
army report it in good condition. and
one of them from exPresident Cisneros
stated thai the whole eastern portion
of the island is safely in control of
the Cuban civil government.
