RELIEF FORCES WERE ROUTED Smallpox and Tallow raver Aid tna Kebelt--Geaeral Macao Talks of the Fight at Hondo Creak. Tampa, Fla., May 10. Passengers ar riving on the steamer Mascotte say tne condition of things is encouraging to the Cnban insurgents. It is said Gamagnaya has been invaded by Gomes, who, with 3000 insurgents, beseiged Guayaro Monday. There were about 2000 Spaniards in the city. After the fighting became disastrous for the besieged a regiment from Cadiz, number ing about 2500 arrived, attacking the Cubans in the rear. Gomez quickly re covered from the first onslaught. While a small force kept up the conflict with the forces of the city, his main body faced the new enemy. The fighting was very fierce, but it is asserted the strategy of Gomez and the valor of the insurgents resulted in a victory. The regiment from Cadiz, it is said, was cut to pieces. The city, the passen gers say, is in the possession of the in surgents. ' The Cuban loss in killed and wounded is put at 700. The Spanish loss is 5000. Smallpox and yellow fever are very prevalent. General Campos is said to be greatly displeased with the situation, and inaur gent leaders are hopeful that another crisis will occur in the cabinet, which will require Campos' return to Spain. The Cubans assert dissatisfaction exists : among the troops over the execution of Gallego. On this account Lieutenant , Mahy, who was taken to Havana for ex ecution, was not executed, but was dec orated with medals for valor. General Maceo Interviewed. New Yobk, May 10. A- special to the World from Bongo, Cuba, says : A World correspondent interviewed Gen eral Maceo, who was found in his camp in the forest a league from Jaraguea, and 40 miles from Santiago. . General Maceo gave out some details of the fight at Hondo creek, near Gaantanamo, in which his brother Jose Maceo, who is not dead after all, had a sharp encounter with 500 Spanish soldiers of Simanceo'a regiment, commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Bosch. The Spaniards were attacked from am bush. Jose Maceo had 700 followers, The ' Spaniards admit a loes of 16 killed and several officers wounded. Accord ing to a letter just received by General Maceo from his brother, the Spaniards Buffered severely. The Cubans used their machetes with deadly effect when the Spanish soldiers hadfired away their ammunition. Maceo placed his men in position in thickets along the bank of the Hondo, which at that point is a stream about 30 feet wide. Colonel Bosch approached early in the morning along the bank of the creek, and on receiving the fire of the rebels, drew his men into position in a cane field. The firing continued until 1 o'clock. As usual the Spaniards wasted much ammunition and when it was ex hausted Jose Maceo charged across the river and cut many down with machetes. One of Maceo's lieutenants, a French half breed named Alcide de Verger, rode recklessly to the creek, calling on bis inen to use their machetes. A shot from Vhe Spanish killed the daring man. The Spanish regulars were aided by 200 volunteers. Colonel Bosch's men witndrew wnen tney naa urea away their ammunition. This is a fatal fault of the Spanish. The officers appear to make no effort to prevent the soldiers from banging away as fast as they can Highest of all in Leavening Power. n U Jose Maceo was left in his position and he still held it.
