ATTACKED THE TROCHA
Terrible Loss Inflicted on
the Spanish.
THE WAR FOR INDEPENDENCE
A Dispatch from Havana Hal a Differ
ent Coloring of tlie AfTalr--General
News.
Nkw Orleans, Oct 2 The Times
Democrat's Key West special says : -,.
Advices from Havana state that An
tooio Maceo, in a recent attack on the
trocha, inflicted terrible losses on the
Spanish, over 1000 being killed and
wonnded. The attack was made at night,
and was caremUy planned, f The fight
ing was general all along the line, but
fiercest near Artemlee, where Antonio
Maceo led a Spanish column command
ed by General Aral as. ,
The. Spaniards were taken completely
by surprise. They were aroused from
sleep to find a bail of insurgent bul
lets falling upon them. General Aralas
and hia staff, half-clad, ruebed from their
headquarters and tried to rally the Span
ish troops, who were panic stricken. It
was half an hour before a semblance of
order could be restored in the Spanish
column, and during that time, the troops
remained huddled together.
While the attack was in progress at
Artimisa, Maceo's lieutenants were ' as
saulting the trocha with equal success
on the right and left. The attack raged
from Bahia Honda on the north to Ma
kando on the south, and at , all points,
the line was demolished. Maceo could
easily have crossed it with- bis entire
force, but it seems he had np such pur
pose. ENGAGED MACEO'S FORCES.
A Brisk Engagement Between Span
lards and Insurgents.
Havana, Oct. 2. General Melguizo,
supported by Colonel TJlmosm's troops,
commanded by ;' Colonels Hernandez,
Frances and Romera, left Mantua, prov
ince of Pinar del Rio, on the morning; of
Tuesday last to attack the insurgents
under Antonio Maceo.
Hernandez column proceeded in the
direction of Tambas de Torino, and af
ter an hour's march engaged Maceo's
forces, dislodgina them from their posi
tion. Continuing the advance, Colonel
Hernandez, at 1:30 p. m., again met the
enemy. -
By this time the insurgents had con
ceniratea tneir torces, and a severe en
gagement followed, lasting until night,
The Spanish troops dislodged the insur
gents. The operations were conducted
during a heavy downpour of rain, which
considerably hindered the advance. - The
troops pushed lot-ward the following
morning, and were met by four cannon
shots at short range from the insurgent
position. The insurgents were again
driven backward, and the troops camped
in the enemy's position, but left it later
to carry back the wouuded and secure
provisions and ammunition.
A column of troops commanded by
Colonel ' Frances entered Manajal and
engaged the insargent forces commanded
by Percio Diaz, Pyaso and other dis
tinguished men at the point of the
bayonet, compelling the enemy to dis
perse. In two engagements the insur
gents left eighty killed and a quantity
of arms and ammunition on the fields
and reti.ed with over 200 wounded. On
the side of the Spaniards eleven men
were killed and Major Ysqoirdo, Captain
Pann!a and eighty privates wounded.
Ot the Spanish-wounded thirty-one men
are in a serious condition.
- Spanish forces under the command of
Colonels Zerrano and - Cano have been
engaged with the insurgents under Al
varez and Truillo at the Guissmal farm,
on the Narranjo river". Alvarez and
twenty other insurgents were killed.
The troops had five men woo tided. : -The
steamship Juan Forgus has ar
rived from Spain, bringing forty officers
and 1,200 soldier?. . .
WATSON MAY KEIIKE.
Rumors to This Effect Are Gaiulng
Credence. . ' ;' "
Atlanta, Oct. 2. Publication in this
week's issue of Thomas P. Watson's
People's tarty paper of. an editorial at-
tack on Chairman Marion Butler, of the
Populist national committee, is con
sidered significant in view of the minors
that Wateon may retire from the ticket.
The editorial is as follows;
"Attempts have been made to show
that. Mr. Watson favored fusion in the
state of Indiana. This is not correct.
Watson took the position at the begin
ning of the campaign that . no Populist
ecu Id consistently vote for a single
Sewall elector any more than he could
vote for a Hobart elector. ' He filed with
Chairman Butler a written protest
against Butler's.. fusion policy. .. Butler
has ignored Watson's protest and gone
steadilv forward on his own line. ' "
"Watson's position is now what it was
when th'eGeorgia state convention met.
He is for a straight middle-of-the-road
ticket. . . . .
"In no other way can the Democratic
managers be forced to abide by the' St.
Louis contract. Mr. Watson's position
has been humiliating and embarrassing,
and he has been compelled to submit to
policies he did not approve."

"That we proudly proclaim our allegi

apolis: that to further -the cause of
honest money, the maintenance of
national honor and integrity and to pro
mote, to tho extent of our ability, the
future welfare and prosperitv of . the
nation, we deem it best not to place an
electoral ticket before' the electors of
this state in support of presidential
nominees of the national Jjemocratic
party." . '

From av Great Democrat.
A depreciation of the currency is al
ways attended by a loss to the laboring
classes. This portion of the community
have neither time nor opportunity to
watch the- ebbs and flows of the money
market; Engaged from day to day in
their useful toils, they do not perceive
that, - although their wages are nom
inally the same,' or even somewhat
higher, they are greatly reduced, in
fact, by the rapid increase of currency,
which, as it appears to make money
abound, they are at first inclined to con
sider a blessing." - Andrew Jackson,
Eighth Annual. Message.
We cannot by law fix the value of
either metal or coin or of any of the ar
ticles that enter into the wants of life.
The great law, of ' demand and supply
affects the value as it does iron, copper
or zinc. All have fallen in market value
by means of new discoveries and im
proved methods of production. Senator

None But Ayer'a at the World's Fair.
Ayer's Sarsaparilla enjoys the extra
ordinary distinction of having been the j
only blood purifier allowed on exhibit at
the world's fair, Chicago. Manufact
urers . of pther sarsaparillas sought by
every means to obtain a showing of their i
goods, but they were ' all turned away
under the application of the rule for
bidding the entry of patent medicines
and nostrums. " The decision of the
world's fair authorities in tavor of Aver's I
Sarsaparilla was in effect as follows : I
Ayer's Sarsaparilla , is not a patent
medicine. It does not belong to the
list of nostrums. ' It is here on its
merits."
