BATTLE OF La QUAsINA.
Letter From Colonel Wood to
Secretary Alger.

secretary AiEer.
| WASHINGTON. July s.-The following
| graphic account of the battle OF La Quas-
ina has been received at the war depart
| nent:
Camp First United States Volunteer
| Cavalry, Six Miles Out of Santiago, June
| q, 1855. Dear General:-Thinking that 4
| line about our fight and general condition
would interest you. take this opportunity
| TO drop you a line. We are all getting
along very comfortably thus far. and find
the climate much better than we had ex-
| pected. Also the country which. aside
from being awfully rough and full of un-
! dergrowth is rather picturesque and at
tractive.
We commenced our advance from our
hrst landing on the I'D, and that night
General Young and l. as second in COM
mand of the Second cavalry brigade, had
a long war talk about taking the very
strong Spanish position about five miles up
the road to Santiago. He decided that We
would make feint on. their front and
hold ON hard. while / was to make Il de-
tour by trail under couple of Cuban
guides. and take them in flank and try to
get them out of their very strong position.
which was in the widest and toughest part
OF the trail toward the town. Our little
plan worked. 1 located the Spanish out
post and deployed silently, and when in
position fired on them. Shortly after I
opened. l could hear Young on the right
down in the valley. The fight lasted over
two hours and was very hot and at close
range. The Spanish used the volley
great deal, while my men fired as individ-
r1ls
men We had struck Il very heavy outpost
of several thousand. However. to cut q
long story short, We drove them steadily
but slowly, and finally threw them into
flight. Their losses must have been heavy
for all reports coming out of Santiago re-
port great many dead and wounded. and
that they Spanish had 1900 men and two
machine guns these we saw and were
under two general officers. and that the
Spanish dead and wounded were being
brought in for six hours; also that the gar
rfson was expecting an assault that night;
that the defeated troops reported they had
fought the entire American army for four
hours. but. compelled by greatly superior
numbers, had retreated and that the army
was coming. etc.
My men conducted themses7es splendid
ly and behaved like veterans. going up
against the heavy Spanish line as though
they had the greatest contempt for them.
Yours sincerely. LEONARD WOOD.

man killed her husband, August Buerman,

fatal judicial mistake by absenting himself

fendant was entitled to a new trial.

 Examiners Work
 A statement giving the receipts derived from the work of the examiners of public accounts, also the cost of maintaining same, is given. This shows that there was paid into the treasury under their reports the sum of s .s26. 75 at a total cost of $S,- 740S1; balance to the credit of examiners, $5, 5,0S594 with the the amount paid in by the commissioner of agriculture, nor the ac- counts received by counties are included in this. It must be remembered that these officers worked only about seven months of the fiscal year, and that the receipts only show the actual cash received during that time. They are given no credits for other amounts that were paid after that date, nor for great deal of work that was not completed until after the year closed, nota- bly that of Examiner Purifoy in the case of the tax collector of Mobile From his labors there the state will no doubt receive a good return. While the direct results from the system have been good, the ef- feet of these examinations are far-reaching and the state is receiving great benefit in- directly also, while subordinate officers throughout the state are receiving much needed education in the discharge of their. duties under the law.

FOURTH WEEK OF THE STRIKE.
Still No Indication of an Early Adjustment of
 Differences.

Boston, Feb. 12.-Today completes the fourth week of the cotton mill operatives strike in New Bedford, Biddeford, Saco and elsewhere, and there is still no indica- tion of an early agreement between the manufacturers and employers.
 Reports from the strike eenters state that everything remains quiet, each side apparently not determined to yield point at the present time. Many of the French Canadian operatives in places where the mills are closed have gone to Canada and until some of the mills are decided to be Started it is thought it will be difficult to run the departments without engaging new hands.
 A new feature in the situation is the ap- pearance of the Canadian government colonization agents who have been sent with view of having the French-Cana- dians out of work settled upon unoccupied lands in the lake St. John district of Que bee. These agents will begin tour of the mill towns in southern New England im- medately. The Canadian and Quebec gov ernments have undertaken to aid all set tiers. The existing troubles are causing the d'eness of about 17,00O persons in New England.
