Xew Yokk, May 1U. A dispatch to
the Herald from Havana via Key West
says :
Apparently reliable news of the most
important insurgent success in months
has just reached Havana. It appears
that General Oalixto Garcia and General
Rabi fell on a Spanish force which was
carrying food and supplies from Man
zanillo toBayamo early laBt week, cap
tured the convoy, routed General Lonos'
i . i i 1,:. ..:

that he fled to the coast with the rem
nant of his brigade and took a ship at
Cabo de Cruz for Manzanillo. It is Baid
that so severe were his losses and so
thoroughly disorganized his men, that
the Spanish general did not dare attempt
to retrace his steps to Manzanillo by
land, fearing that he would he again
attacked, and this time wiped out of
existence.
Tli is engagement which is regarded as
more important than any battle since
that of Cacarijicara, goes to show how
helpless the Spanish are in the country
east of the trocho. What is known of
the affair came in a private letter to a
Spanish officer here.
General Lono laid a trap for the insur
gents. Balieving the convoy would be
attacked, he sent a mule train ahead
with scant escort, intending to flank the
rebels while the escort held their fire.
Bis force is said to have been between
1500 and 12000.
Garcia, with between GOO and 1000
waited lor the convoy three leaguea from
Bayatno. He was told by his Bcouts that
there was n large Spanish force follow
ing the poorly protected mule train, and
euspectint; a trick, he allowed the pack
mules and u small escort to pass with
out molestation, and placed his men in
an advantageous position to await the
coining of Lono.
The Spanish eagerly awaited the sound
of firing ahead, which would tell them
the train had been attacked, marching
straight into the trap. Dismayed by the
sharp musketry fire from ambush, the
Spaniards fled utterly demoralized, when
the Cubans charged them with machetes.
As has been generally the case, the
Spanish infnatry, having been subjected
to a heavy fire, did not long oppose the
machete with the bayonet. In a few
minutes the retreat, was general. Gen
eral Lono and hie staff by desperate
eflbrtu succeedad in rallying a few hun
dred men for a Btand, but although they
opposed the insurgents with a bnek fire,
it was evident that the day was lost.
Fearing that a movement among the
Cubans ment an attempt to surround
them, the Spanish broke and ran. Thus
the defeat became a rout. The insur
gent fores were divided, one division
pursuing General Lono. and the other
going to capture the arms and provisions.
This last proved an easy task. The
Spauish commander with the retreating
main body was harassed for 10 miles.
Ho decided to abandon the regular road
back to Manzanillo, fearing he would bo
interrupted as General Reyes had been
a few days before. Tho victorious Cub
ans were on the road to Bayamo, his pro
visions were lost and his men were prac
tically without food. The only way he
eaw to escape with the remnant of his
forces was to make for the coast at a
point many miles from Manzanillo. A
passenger steamer waB pressed into the
service, and carried the despondent eol
diors back to Manzanillo.
So fierce was the fighting and bo swift
their retreat that they were able to carry
off but few of their wounded. The de
tails are not yet learned. Indeed offi
cially, there is as yt no report of uny
e"gagcm(!iit between Garcia and Lono,
'"it the news reached Havana neverthe
less. Goneral Gomez, upon hearing of Way
ler's declaration that Santa Clara was
pacified, issued a proclamation of his
own, declaring Santiago de Cuba and

There was some firing on outskirts of
Havana at 2 o'clock last Saturday morn
ing. About 50 shots were fired by a
Bentry, who, it is said, thought he de
tected insurgents. There has been no
official explanation of the firing, and the
censor would not permit any mention
of the report that a part- of insurgents
had iiiude a midnight demonstration in
that quarter. Every effort was made to
create the impression that the affair was
insignificant, but there was considerable
firing, followed by a rapid movement of
soldiers to the .loans del Monte district,
where the firing occured, there cannot
be the slightest doubt. As the rebels
are very strong in Havana, the fact that
there was such firing caused consider
able excitement.
The Shakers have made a discovery
which is destined to accomplish much
good. Realizing that three-fourths oi
all of our sufferings arise from stomach
troubles, that the country is literally
filled with people who cannot eat and
digest food, without subsequently suffer
ing pain and distress, and that many
are starving, wasting to mere skeletons,
because their food does them no good,
they have devoted much study and
thought to the subject, and the result is
this discovery of their Digestive Cordial.
