A battle in Cuba always results in vic
tory for the side which can reach the
nearest telegraph office first, and victory
always remains with that side until the
other side has made its report. Natur-
ally enough reports of conflicts reach
this country first from Havana. COming
from Spanish sources they chronicle
Spanish victories. 1t is always advisable
to withhold credence of such reports
until the Cuban side is heard from. The
recent battle of HOlguin is a case in
Spanish victory. Later information re-
ports a disastrous defeat of the Spaniards
