In Pinar Del Rio

NEW YORK, July 2.-Accordtng to ad-
vices received here by the Cuban Junta,
General Diaz, dn command of the Sixth
Cuban army corps in Pinar del Rio, had re-
Gently battle with the Spanish troops in
the western part Of the province, in which
he came off victorious, taking great many
prisoners. The Spanish loss was heavy,
while the Cubans lost less than fifty men.
After the battle half the company Of SOL
diers from the Spanish garrison marched
into the Cuban camp with their arms and
ammunition and offered their forces, giving
as reasons for their desertion Ill treatment
on the part of the officers and insufficient
food.
General Diaz has with him about 5000 SOL
diers well armed and equipped and large
number of reconcentrados who are without
arms. The food supply is very short how
ever, and 1t is with great difficulty that
frequent foraging expeditions keep the
camp partly supplied with food There has
been much suffering among the reconcen-
trados, but 1t 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
court martial they were sentenced and
promptly shot

Massed About Manila

NEW YORK, July "A dispatch to the
Tribune from Hong Kong says:
Conditions at Manila, according to latest
advices, remain substantially unchanged.
The insurgents have invested the city com
pletely on the land side and Admiral Dewey
securely holds the bay.
Between the two forces a satisfactory
understanding seems to exist so that there
will be no attempt at occupying the city by
the insurgents until Admiral Dewey gives
the word, and that will not be until the
first detachment of Gen. Merritt's army is
landed and can march into the city to take
control Of 1t and safeguard life and prop
erty.
The foreign residents are somewhat panic
striker at the close approach of the insur-
gents, but there is no reason to apprehend
any emergency that will call for or justify
the landing of marines from the foreign
warships for the protection of the city.
The American ships and men are in good
condition and are in readiness for an imme-
date movement upon the city as soon as the
troops arrive. That may be any day. In
fact, the ships are now overdue, reckoning
upon the basis of the speed made by them
rom San Francisco to Honolulu. No uneas!-
ness is felt for their safety, however. There
are no Spanish ships in the Pacific that
could modest them.
The theory is widely held here that they
have stopped for few days on their way
to take possession of the Caroline or the
Marianne Islands. In that case Admiral
Dewey will feel amply repaid for the extra
days of waiting he has to endure, and their
belated arrival will be all the more well
come.

General Varade de Ruey. simultaneously
the American squadron appeared flying
fighting flags, and no doubt for the protec-
ton of the troops.

nothing is known of General Escaro' :
column which started from Manzanillo to
reinforce Santiago de Cuba
Later in the day dispatch was received
direct from General Linares, saying moth
ing was known of the whereabouts of Gen.
eral Escaro and his troops. The following
dispatch has been received from Man
zanillo:
Three American ships appeared yester-
day before Manzanillo. The garrison and
the gunboats are preparing to resist. Dur
ing the fighting yesterday we had two men
killed and one man seriously and two
slightly wounded in the town.
THE three American ships have bonn
oarded the coast near Tunays and Taya-
baco, probably for the purpose of landing
arms"
At the banquet in Madrid last night
Senior Robledo made a violent attack on the
government in speech, accusing the min
istry Of inactivity and being without an
original idea and leaving everything to the
admirals and generals.
Continuing. Senior Robledo insisted that
when the moment arrives Spain ought te
treat directly with the United States fol
peace. He concluded with pointing out
that the existing institutions would be en-
dangered. adding: "But, nevertheless
we must do our duty as Spaniards and de-
fend our country"

SERVING THE GUNS
First Artillery Fight Proves to Be a
Hot One

NEW YORK, July IA special dispatch
to the Evening World dated Ell Paso, Cuba.
near Santiago, noon, by way of Playa del
Este, July l, says:
The first artillery fight of the campaign
has Just been ended by the slencing Of a
Spanish battery.
The wounded are still being picked up as
this dispatch is hurried away.
Gen. awton's division bivouacked near FL
Caney last night without fires. At Z clock
this morning there was sullen boom. "
1t was the first shot from Capron's bat
terry, fired to avenge the killing of his son.
Promptly the Spanish began to answer the
challenge from their forts and trenches.
At 7:15 Grimes battery opened on the Span
sh troops to the right of the San Juan
blockhouse.
The common powder used by our troops
smoked and was fine target for the Span
.sh field battery, which was served by Ad-
miral Cervera's marines, Judging by the ac-
curacy of the aim.
While our smoke gave the enemy our
range, Grimes could not locate the enemy's
guns, which used smokeless powder, except
approximately. But satisfied as to the Span
ish position, our men worked like mad. The
Spanish fire gradually slackened and in less
than an hour it ceased altogether.
Battery A of the Second Artillery. de-
serves great credit for the victory, for it
was a case of blindness against sight. The
battery's losses, the officers state, was as
follows:
Killed:
UNDERWOOD, private.
Wounded-Heary, George c, First Ser
geant; Veite, Sergeant; Cornford. Sergeant;
Keene, Corporal.
The battery was supported by the rough
riders, about 100 Cubans with Hotchkiss
gun, a detachment of the Tenth Cavalry,
and squad from Company of the Second
Cavalry. Most of the Spanish shells flew
low over the crest of the battery's position
and exploded. Through them the rough
riders had about ten wounded, among them
being the chaplain, whose left elbow was
smashed.
The Cuban leader Gonzales reports that
the Cubans lost twenty killed and wounded
The details of General Lawton's losses
have not arrived.
Heavy volley firing has been heard for
three hours.
1t seems to indicate a strong American
advance.
There is no artillery firing from Ell Caney
and only scattering shots came from San
Juan which has a slope of fifteen feet in the
hundred.
Both divisions are really in battle.
The day is clear and a moderate breeze
is blowing, but there is strong heat. The
troops are in good condition.
Captain Grimes and Corporal Mclean
were overcome by the heat, but are recov-
ering.
The batteries shot 100 rounds, two-third
shells and the balance shrapnel.

wrecked at the entrance to the Straits Of

without permission Of the board, but must

If the Jamaica authorities enforce the
quarantine regulations strictly against

other countries will receive greatly de-
