SPANISH TROOPS ROUTED.
InsurGcnt Version of the Fiye-Day
Battle at HOlguin, in Santiago
de Cuba.

NEW YORK, March 2.-Reports of
the recent battle at Holguin, province
of Santiago de Cuba, have been re-
ceived in New York. Instead of the
battle being a Spanish victory, as rep
resented from Havana, it was a disas-
trous defeat, followed by a retreat on
the part Of the Spanish forces. This
information comes through Cuban
sources. and is the cause for a great
amount of rejoicing in Cuban circles,
because the guns and ammunition
shipped from Long Island less than a.
month ago were used in the fight.
The Cuban loss in the five days fight,
ing was less than fifty killed. On the
fifth day, the Spanish columns retreats
ed, carrying their wounded to Holguin
and leaving 200 dead on the field.
The real Spanish loss will never be
known, as the dead and wounded were
taken from the field at night. 1t is
estimated that nearly 1000 were killed
and wounded. From word received
from Holguin it was learned that there
were several companies almost annihi-
lated by the Cuban fire.
Other letters from the Cuban army
report it in good condition, and ona
from ex-President Cisneros stated that
the whole eastern portion of the island
is safe in control of the Cuban civil
government. The ex-president says he
is to be appointed postmaster general,
and tells Of plans for postal service as
though there was no war on the island.

of the Same Old Swim


LEAD, S. D., March about two
months ago gentleman of this city
answered an advertisement in a matri-
monial paper which gave the descrip-
tion of charming young lady with the
usual "Object, pleasure and possible
matrimony."
The correspondence developed rap
idly until the gentleman became
infatuated and proposed mar
riage, which was promptly accepted,
Photographs We're exchanged, and the
inn alsive gentleman could scarcely
wait the day appointed for the mar
riage. In one of the lady's long mis-
sives she intimated that she desired a
watch. The gentleman procured an
expensive lady's gold watch and pre-
sented it to her. Other costly gifts
were sent the lady. A few months ago
the letters from the lady became chilly.
and the gentleman, becoming unseaSy
wrote to friends in the ladys home.
He was greatly shocked to learn that
the lady was to be married to another
man in few days. The Lead man
implored her to give up the other mar
riage, and offered her money to come
to Lead. Word was received a few
days ago that the marriage with the
other man had occurred in the Indian
territory, where the lady resides The
Lead man has begun active operations
to recover his property sent the lady
as gifts which he estimates to be
worth $100, besides $100 in money,
which he sent voluntarily. A few days
ago an express package, marked
value $780, came addressed to his
name, but with a Mrs" prefixed, Be
ing unable to produce Mrs" in his
family, the package remains in the eX-
press office uncalled for.
