blown up have modified this conviction,
and. for the most part. admit that such
reports must have been based largely
on speculation. Even naval officers are
apparently as much in the dark as the
civilians as to what the courts opinion
Is at the present moment. Excellent
progress has been made in the examina-
tions. and the court will probably finish
Its work here to-day, when its members

Funeral Plans.
Admiral Sicard has requested DR.. NAL
loney, the mayor of Key West, TO pre-
vent local demonstration when the
funeral OF the Names dead occurs. He
has asked that in the event of parade
being formed by the residents only
American flags shall be displayed.
Mayor Malloney has promised to carry
out Admiral Sicard's wishes as far as
possible, but doubts whether the strong
Cuban and anti-Spanish sentiment can
be suppressed. All of the funeral ar
rangements will be under the direction
of Commander Mccall. of the Marble
head. As now planned. small details
Of marines will be landed from the YES
sells here and at the Tortugas, and the
artillery at barracks will join in paying
the last honors.

ed at Holguin.
New York, March 3.-Reports of the
recent battle at Holguin, province of
Santiago de Cuba, have been received
In New York. Instead of the battle
being Spanish victory, as represented
from Havana, IL was disastrous de-
feat, followed by retreat on the part
of the Spanish forces. This information
comes through Cuban sources, and Is
the cause of great amount of rejoic-
ing in Cuban circles, because the guns
and ammunition shipped from Long
Island less than a month ago were used
in the fight.
Owing Go the character OF the coun-
try less than 1000 of the Spanish troops
could be brought into action when the
Cubans opened fire, and the Cuban force
OF less than 1000 men could not be
dislodged Gen. Garcia's command did
not reach its full strength until the
fifth day after the fighting began. On
this day the Spanish columns retreated
in confusion, carrying the wounded 10
Holguin and leaving 200 dead on the
field. The Cubans' loss in the five days
fighting was less than so killed. The
real Spanish loss will never be known.
