Almost every Spanish American
male above the age of childhood car
ries q machete. The laborer has it,
because with the machete he cuts su-
garcane, prepares firewood and
trenches the ground for his crop. The
horseman wears the machete, because
with it he cuts his way through the
woodlands during journeys over rough
country. 1t is sword, spade and hedg-
ing bill, axe, hatchet and pruning
knife.
The hidalgo wears it with silvered
hilt and tasselled scabbard his hum

leather.

j. p, Holland Goes to Washington With a
Submarine Boat Scheme.
New York Sun, Friday.
When the news that Cervera and
his fleet were bottled up in the harbor
of Santiago became pretty well con-
firmed, it was suggested to John r.
Holland, the submarine boatman, that
he could submit the practical value of
his invention to no better test than to
take her to Cuban waters, enter the
harbor of Santiago, destroy the mines
and sink the Spanish fleet with neat
hole in each of them-just enough to
sink her, not enough to spoil her, be-
cause we want those ships ourselves.
When the suggestion was made, MIR.
Holland said that under certain condi-
tions he was quite willing to under
take the job.
The matter was discussed at a con-
ference of the officers of his company

SPANIARDS DESPERATE.
Captain Dorst Says Blanco's Men VIII
Fight Like Savages.

Fight Like Savages.
Captain j. H. Dorst has been doing
some very daring and dangerous work
for the government, says Key West
dispatch. He has taken his life in his
hand dozen times. His instructions
were to assist the Cubans in making
connection with the United States off,
cials, and see that the Remington and
Springfield rifles, for which Gen. Go
mez was asking so insistently, got into
his hands. But behind this was
much graver work. 1t was to ascer-
tain about what the real effective force
of Spain was in Cuba, and, generally,
about what sort of fight Spain in
tends putting up, judging from the
evidence obtainable. Captain Dorst
says: -
"Spain intends fighting with the fe-
rocity of century ago. The captur-
ed man will receive about the treat
ment accorded to captiVes ny the
Apaches."
He begs to dissipate the impression,
if any such be current, that it will be
any easy matter to drive out SPANS
soldiery.
"It is WE'LL" says he, "to bear in
mind that Spain has in Cuba between
10000 and $4,000 soldiers, who have
survived two epidemics, and the bad
food and worse sanitary arrangements
of Spanish barracks. These men re-
ligiously believe that, if captured,
their throats will instantly be cut.
Their superior officers tell them this,
the priests declare that it is true. In
the first two or three battles these SOL
diers will fight with true Latin des-
peration. The United States army 60
ing to Cuba may as we'll understand
that its business will be serious war.
The native population will help us all
it dares. Finally, the sooner we be-
gin the better. This talk about the
terrors of the climate is humbug ofthe
most arrant kind. The water of Cuba
is excellent, and the climate is very
good one. Those fellows who come
here from Arizona will think the
change simply heavenly"

The present rising in Cuba began at
Ibarra, province Of Matanzas, Feb "a,
1895. Beginning in one of the western
provinces on very small scale, it has
spread to all parts of the island Insur-
gent forces are found in every one of the
provinces. According to the latest report
OF their distribution, approved by the
Cuban junta in America, there are SO, 500
men IN arms Of whom nearly half are in
the cavalry branch of service. Beginning
with the westernmost province, Pinar del
Rio, which General Weyler pronounced
''pacifed" before he was recalled, there
are west of Weylor's trocha near Havana
some 1900 insurgents under the command
of Generals Diaz, Lorente and Duoasso.
OF these 3, 500 are infantry and the rest
cavalry. These constitute the Sixth army
corps In Havana and Matanzas provinces
Is the Fifth army corps, commanded by
General Rodriguez, with half a dozen
chiefs of divisions. This corps consists Of
2, 300 infantry and 1900 cavalry. The
Matanzas division is III charge Of General
BerancOurt In Santa Clara is the Fourth
army corps, consisting Of 5,700 men, un.

FIVE DAYS.

Reiterated Precipitably.

Reports of the ant battle at Holguin,
province of Santiago de Cuba, have been
received a. New. York. Instead of the
battle being Spanish victory, as report
cd from Havana, it was disastrous de-
feat, followed by a retreat on the part Of
the Spanish forces.
The engagement took place on wind
ing road leading from Holguin to Long
Island. The Cubans fought bravely aps
with splendid judgment, comn'o'eiy
routing the Spaniards at every point
The fighting continued ST I'VE Gays,
and every day Spanish deau were ouried
and the wounded e-nt back TO Holguin.
General Garcio's command did not reach
its f,iI.fglGng strength until the fifth

> ca this day the Spanish columns re-
created in confusion, carrying the
wounded to Holgun and leaving 200
dead OH tie field.
The Cuban loss in the five days fight
ing was less than fifty killed.
The real Spanish loss will never be
known, as the lad and wounded were
taken from the field at night. It's estl-
mated that nearly 1000 were killed and
wounded. From word received from
Holguin it was learned that there were
several companies almost aunihilated by
