AFTER A Brisk ENCOUNTER
Two Parties Landed And Were
Fired Upon BY Spanish Cav.
airy From Ambush-The
Spaniards Routed.

The government tug Leyden, Cap
tain ]. Il. Angus, steamed into port ct
Key West Thursday morning and those
on board told the following story Of .
desperate encounter with Spanish
troops on the northern coast Of Cuba:
The Leyden left Key West Monday
afternoon with . party Of insurgents
under General Baldamere Acosta and
including FIVE Cuban scouts under the
leadership Of Captain J. II. Dorst, Of
the United States cavalry. The Ley
den carried large quantity OF arms
and ammunition. The tug landed four
men with four boxes OF ammunition
and two horses. General Acosts also
landed and penetrated to the interior,
where he joined the forces Of the in
surgents. The Leyden lay to outside
until 4 o'clock in the morning when,
observing troop Of Spanish passing,
she put to ses and got safely away.
The same night she proceeded to Ma.
tanzas and Tuesday she landed another
small party near there.
The tug then returned to the origi-
nal landing place, reaching there early
Wednesday morning. Here she was
met by Acosta aud 200 Cubans, half of
whom were armed with rifles. They
united with the men on the tug and
an attempt was made to land the re-
naming arms and men, when q troop
Of 200 of the Villsvoca cavalry swooped
down on them and after q fierce en-.
gagement of half hours duration the
Cubans finally repulssd the enemy,
driving them into the woods.
During the engagement several rife
bullets went through the Leyden's
smoksstack, but no one was injured.
The plucky little tug then went in
search of the flagship, found her lying
near Havana, and related the story.
Rear Admiral Sampson sent the gun
boat Wilmington back with the Ley
den. The two vessels reached the
scene of the landing and found the
Spanish cavalry in waiting to repel
another invasion.
The Wilmington lost no time in pre-
liminaries, but promptly opened fire
on O number Of small houses, marking
the entry 10 the place. The gunboat
fred four shots, which Immediately
drove back the Spaniards, and Captain
Dorst with the ammunition landed
safely, the Leyden returning to Key
West.

Was Joyful News.

Notwithstanding the fact that every
body had been in momentary expecta-
ton OF cable advices from Commodore
Dewey, Washington was thrown into
the widest excitement by the issue OF
extra papers early Saturday morning
announcing the arrival OF McCulloch
at Hong Kong with dispatches for the
government from Commodore Dewey.
The publication Of newspaper dis.
patches telling Of terrible mortality
among the Spanish and the escape OF
the American men and ships from Sc
rious injury, added to the excitement
and to the intense satisfaction with
which the long expected news was re-
ceived.
The first dispatch was the merely
formal report written by Admiral
Dewey the day Of the battle. The in
formation II contained Of the condi-
ton OF the squadron and the men
seemed almost too good to be true.
The fact that such battle could
occur without serious injury to the
ships Of our squadron and without
some loss OF life had never been enter
tanned.
At the navy department it was con.
fidently expected that there would be
forthcoming list Of officers and men
who had died doing battle for their
country, and it seemed almost beyond
belief that Of all the 1000 men who
were to greater or less extent expos
ed to the fire Of the enemy's ships and
powerful shore batteries, not one was
killed, and none were seriously in
jured.
