The Truth Admitted.

That a great battle had been fought be
tween the Spanish troops and the Moors
Is now officially admitted from Madrid
for the first time. The extent of the
engagement was at first minimized in
Spain, in an effort to pacify public opin-
ion, and dispatches concerning the battle
were vigorously censored. Early reports
gave the losses at a few hundred. The
official admission today that the killed
and wounded reached 5000 gives the battle
the importance Of real warfare, the cas-
ualties being far greater than IN any en-
gagement during the Spanish-Amerfcan
war, and exceeding some Of the most

cardinal that he ordered the end OF
