CUBANS WIN ANOTHER VICTORY
FIERCE GUERILLA FIGHT IN
PINAR DEL RIO.
Spaniards Were Defeated and Many
Marched Into the Insurgent Camp
and Surrendered-Spies Shot.

New York, July 2.-According to adj
vices received here by the Cuban junta,
General Diaz, in command of the Sixth
Cuban army corps in Pinar del Rio,
recently had a battle with the Spanish
troops in the western part of the prov
ince, in which he came off victor, TAX
ing a great many prisoners. The Span
ish loss was heavy, while the Cubans
lost less than 80 men.
After the battle half the company of
soldiers from the Spanish garrison
marched into the Cuban camp with
their arms and ammunition and Of
fered their forces, giving as reasons
for their desertion i'll treatment on the
part of the officers and insuffici g 3,
food.
General Diaz has with him about 5000
soldiers, we'll armed and equipped, and
a large number of recOncentrados, who
are without arms. The food supply is
very short, however, and il is with
great difficulty that frequent foraging
expeditions keep the camp partly sup
piled with food. There has been much
suffering among the reconcentrados,
but it has been greatly alleviated since
they left the cities and Joined the in
surgent armies.
Four Spanish spies were caught in
the Cuban camp, and after a speedy
trial by courtmartial they were sem
fenced and promptly shot. The Span
ish prisoners are kept under close
guard, but are fed and we'll treated.
Hitherto IL has been the practice to
release the Spaniards captured, after
depriving them of their arms and am
munition, but it is now the purpose of
General Diaz to keep the prisoners in
order that they may be exchanged for
Cubans and United States soldiers
taken prisoners by the Spaniards
The battle which resulted so favor
ably for General Diaz's forces was one
of the fiercest engagements which have
taken place in Pinar del Rio, and lasted
the greater part of a day. Both sides
fought in guerilla fashion, but the
Spaniards were finally forced to with
draw before the heavy and constant
fire of the Cubans. Nearly all the am
munition in the Cuban camp was used
up, and the insurgents will be in poor
condition for another fight unless they
can obtain new supplies

BRAVE CAPTAIN GRIDLEY.
Arose From a Sick Bed to Fight the
Spaniards.

Erie, Pa, July 2.-The first authentic
details surrounding the last moments
on earth of Captain Charles V. Grid
ley have been received here in a letter
from Paymaster Calf, who had been
assigned to care for the invalid and
bring him home. The letter states
that Captain Gridley had been ill for
several weeks before the fight. and
arose from sick bed to assume his
duties on that glorious day. He re-
manned on duty continuously, suffering
from rupture, which was so aggra-
waited that frequent hemorrhages oc-

the ships surgeons informed him that
the hemorrhages would result in death.
The captain, with mistaken fortitude,
replied:
THE battle of Manila killed me, but
would do it again if necessary"
Twenty-four hours before death ensued
he lapsed into Inconsistencies, after
sending loving messages TO his wife
and children.
