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.

Jose Maceo was left in his position and
he still held it.
