HOWRY TO MITCHELL.
The supreme court hayingr'nt my
Instance, advanced for hourlug this
month appeals from a uumbor of tho
Judgments of tho court of claims In
volving tho construction of tho stututcs
aud treaties rotating to Indian de
predation, I tako tho occasion to for
ward to you under separato oovor ono
of my briefs Illustrating tho moat Im
portant defenses.
Bhould the Judgments In these teat
cases bo affirmed, then a large number
of tbe 10,841 suits brought under tho
law must necessarily bedlsmlwaed upon
the grounds going to tho Jurisdiction of
t to court.
Existing conditions preclude many
claimants from taking testimony; aud,
In cases where tenllmony baa beon
taken, from proceeding to trial from
reasons of convenience and economy
to litigants, although I am ready for
the hearing of as many as 300 cases In
their order, This Includes nearly all
tbe cases pending on motions for new
trial made Imperative by act ot con
gress and tbe later decisions in tbe
oourt of claims construing tbe law with
reference to the citizenship of the
claimant and the amity of the tribes in
all classes of the cases.
With tbe settlement of many contro
verted quwtlous In tho oases now
ready for argument In tho supreme
court, the prospects are good for tbe
government to rapidly facilitate tbe
disposition of pending clalmi.

ARMY IN CUUA.
Havana, Dee. 20. Further details
reached hero from Mutnnzaa of tho
rapid advauco of tho Insurgont army,
numbering about 12,0t 0 men, upon
Havaua, after forcing Its way through
the provlnco of Santa Clara and Into
tho provlnco of Mnutanzai.
In eplte of tho efforts of Captain
Ueuentl Martlurz de Campos and
about 8,000 troops at his disposal, the
reported Important battle yesterday
between tho Bpaulnrda under Campus
uud tho InsurgentaatCollza plantation,
twelvo mth'8 from Carduuus, docs not
appear to have beon e. very sovoro en
gagement. The Bpanlrh forces do not
appear to have encountered the inalti
body of tho luaurgouu, as at first au
uouuued. Tho Unlit at Colleu planta
tion wua between u portion of tho col
umu of InaurgoulN and the Bpanlsb
columns, now pushing through thu
provlnco of Mutuussa, aud Instead of
turning out to bo a great victory fur
tho Bpaulards, the result of tho engage
ment whs ylrtually a defeat f.rUuui
pos' forces, for tho Cuban army pushed
onward unchecked nud Is still advauo
lugou llilu oily,
Tho fighting took placo amid burn
lug cano iiudorwood, tall grass aud
trees, und was of tho usual guerilla
nature. At tlmea both troopa and In
surgents wero aurrouuded by walla
of Uamca, und tho smoke waa bo detiBv
that thoCubune aud troops wera uu
ublo to soo ckuu other aud kept bang
lug ut open apuccfl, waallug ruuoh good
ammunition.
For ono JusurgeiH killed at least
2,000 BhotB must liavo been fired, Thu
CutiaiiB, following tbolr customary too
tioj, seemed .to. mult away Into tbe
dlHtanoe, at soon as the troops got
withlu lighting distance of them and
uearly all tho firing waa at a very long
range, although tbo soldiers made
several gallant obarges through tbe
burning territory. This style of flgbU
lug Is tormed u defeat for tbe Insur
gents, but as they succeeded in accoaa
pllshlng their oboot, holding the
Bpanlards in check while tho Cubans
pushed on to tho southward, the result
was leally a Cuban victory.
Thooaptatn-gonoral was as near tbe
front as possible throughout tbe bat
tle, oucouraglug bis troops by words
and action In spite of all tbe veteran
Bpanlsb commander's efforts, however,
the Cubans are marching through bis
forces with but few skirmishes here
and therejuo seems to be utterly unable
to concentrate ahead of them forces
ufllulent to draw the enemy Into a
pitched battle.
When Campos eatabllfbes bis bead
quarters and lays out a plan of battle,
thu Cubaus soom, by some mysterious
meaus, to bear of It, and pretending to
fall Into a trap, puth their body of men
forward, skirmish with tbo troops,
draw tho Bpuulah forces upon Hum,
and then the Cuban army proper out
flanka tho Bpaularda and pushes stead
ily onward toward Havaua,
Admirers of tho Spanish general
'claim this Is bis plan of campalgu; that
he Is allowing the Cubans to get by
him and nearer uud nearer to Havana,
only for the purpose of eventually fall
lug upon them Iu the rear aud scatter
ing tbeHf to all points of tbo compass.
ThU sounds plauilblo enough, tut tbe
Insurgents are destroying alt the build
Ings and plantations behind them and
the Bpaularda will have a vtry difficult
(ask to push on ut all.
Upon bis arrival In Havana this
evening Captain-General Campos made
known his belief that General Gomez
bas designed bis movement, which has
thus far proved bo signally successful,
merely as a raid Into bis enemy's
country as near to Havana as possible
for him to go, Intending to tight bis
way back. Campos believes the whole
aim of the Incursion was tbe destouo
tlon of property and tie asserts they
are already In retreat.

arrival, by the city authorities and a
