SECOND FATAL ERROR
Two Armies of Spaniards
Fire on Each Other.
MANY WERE KILLED AND INJURED
Each Mistook the Other for Insurgent
ForcesThe Leading Officers Are
to be Court Martialed.
Havana, March 24. Two colum ns of
Spanish troops, commanded by General
Godoy and Colonel Holduin, at Santa
Koea plantation, near Esperanza, prov
ince of Santa Clara, mutually mistook
each other for insurgent forces, owing, it
is said, to the thickness of the sugar
canes. Each detachment opened fire
and for ten minutes shots were ex
changed, resulting in the killing of
seventeen soldiers, among them being
Lieutenant Colonel Fuenmayor, of the
Kavas batallion'. In addition five offi
cers and eighty-four soldiers were
wounded. Two of the latter have since
died. Six others are mortally wounded
and thirty-two seriously injured. Ow
ing to the fact that the meeting between
the two columns took place at midday,
the explanation furnished by the Span
ish commanders is not considered satis
factory and a court martial will follow.
This is the second mistake of the kind
that has occurred in the past few weeks.

CHARGED WITH CATTLE STEALING
Sensational Arrest of Batchers In Walla
Walla.
Walla Walla, Wash., March 24. A
prominent butcher and one of the stock
holders of the American Dressed Meat
Company of this city, and W. A. Mont
gomery, who was employed as butcher
at the company's slaughter-yards, were
arrested late tonight on a charge of steal
ing cattle. Both were released on bonds
of $1000 each, to appear in the justice
court next Tuesday. The complaint was
made by Oliver Cornwell, who runs a
small meat market in this city. The
prosecuting attorney stated to a reporter
that several years past members of the
the American Meat Company have been
suspected of stealing cattle from farmers
and other stockmen in the county, and,"
although the officers hare been workiDg
on the case all the time, no direct evi
dence could be secured until a few days
ago that they were the guilty parties.
It appears that last October Cornwell
found two of his cattle in the stockyard
of the company, bnt all the employes
denied any knowledge how they came
there and released the cattle. Today
the prosecuting attorney claimed to
have secured sufficient evidence to ar
rest all the members of the company
and several of their employes, and stated

and Otto Eichler, who was employed by

The arrests caused considerable excite
ment and sensational developments are
expected. R. Harris stated that his ar
rest is spite work onthe part of other
butchers and meat companies of the
city, who lia -e been trying to injure the
business of bis company for several
years.
