USA jThe Successful Insurgents, Reliable Information From Havana Important Engagement, New York, May 14. A dispatch to the Herald from Havana via Key West says: News of most Important Insurgent success In months lias Just reached Havana. It appears that General Callxto Garcia and General Haul fell on a Spanish rorce which was carry ing food supplies from Manzanlllo to Uayaiuo early last week, captured the convoy, routed General Lonos' column and pursued him so vigorously that ho fled to the coast with the remnant of his brlgtde and took a ship at Cabo do Cruz for Manzanlllo. It Is said that so severe were hit losses and so thor oughly disorganized his men, that the Spanish general did not dare to re trace his steps to Manzanlllo by land, fearing that he would again be at tacked and this time wiped out of ex istence. ' This engagement, which Is regarded as more Important than any battle since Cacarljicara goes to how how helpless the Spanish arc in the coun try east of the trocha. What is known of the affair came In a private letter to a Spanish olllccr here. General Lono laid a trap for the In surgents Believing the convoy would be attacked, he sent a mule train ahead with a scant escort, intending to flank the rebels while the .escort held their lire, nis force Is said to have been between 1,500 and 5,000 men. Garcia, with between COO and 1000 men waited for the convoy three leagues from Bayatuo. no was told by bis scouts that there was a large Span ish force following the poorly pro tected mule train and, suspecting a trick, he allowed the pack mules and the small escort to pass without molestation, and placed his men In an advantageous position to await the coming of Lono. The Spanish eagerly awaited the sound of firing ahead, which would tell them that the train had been at tabked, marching straight into the trap. Dismayed from the sharp mus ketry ilrc from ambush, the Spaniards fled utterly demoralized, when the Cubans charged with machetes. As has been generally the case, the Spanish infantry having been sub jected to a heavy fire, did not long op pose the machete with the bayonet. In a few minutes the retreat -was gen eral, General Lono and his staff, by desperate efforts,succeeded in rallying a few hundred men for a stand, but although they oppose the Insurgents with a brisk fire, it was evident that the day was lost. Fearing that a movement among the Cubans meant an attempt to sur round them, the Spanish broke to ran. Thus the defeat became a route. The insurgent forces were divided, one division pursuing General Lono and the other going to capture the arms and provisions. This lastproved an easy task. The .'Spanish comman der "with the retrcatlug main body was harrassed for ten miles. He de cided to abandon the regular road back to Manzanlllo, fearing ho would be Interrupted as General Reyes had been a few days before. The vlctorous Cubans were on the ',T)o)oim1 '-.lea?" " Yes." "What sort?" " Don't know." Try Sellings Bast; if you don't like it ou grocer will pay you back your money in full. There are five flavor?, nd every sort is fresh-roast'ecf. ' A Schilling & Company San Francisco Ml road to Bayamo, his proylslons were ' lost and his men were practically wlthoiit food. The only way he saw to escape with the remnant of his for ces was to make for the coast at a point many miles from Manzanlllo. Ho marched nearly forty miles, reached Cape Cruz, and sent word to Manzan lllo. A passenger steamer was pressed Into the service, and carried the de spondent soldiers back to Manzan lllo. ', So fierce was the fighting and so swift their retreat that they were able lu. carry oil but few of their wounded: The details are not yet learned. Indeed, ofllelally, there Is yet no report of any engagement be tween Garcia and Lono, but the news reached Ilavana nevertheless, General Gomez, upon hearing of Weyler'6 declaration that Santa Clara was paciOed Issued a proclamation of his own, declaring Santiago de Cuba and Puerto Principle "pacified." There was some firing on the out skirts of Havana, at 2 o'clock last Saturday mornlug. About fifty shots were lired by a sentry, who, It Is said, thought ho detected Insurgents. There hill been no otllcial explanation of the firing, and the censor would not permit any mention of the report that a party of Insurgents had made a midnhrht demonstration In that quarter. 'Every effort was made to create impression that the affairs was insignificant, but there was consider able firing, followed by a rapldmove ment of soldiers to the Jesus del Monto district, where the firing oc curred, tjjere cannot be the slightest doubt. As the rebels are very strong in navana, the fact that there was such firing caused considerable excitement. The next day Inquiry was useless. Thepalaeo'ollilcals prefer that the af fair be wrapped In mystery. The newspaper El, Paris has been waiened by thecensor, because of telling of the capture of an Insurgent hospital and the killing of the wounded, It did not use the word pre fecture instead of luspltal.

Tho situation at the scene of hostilllttcs appears to bo that Turks arc determined to occupy Domokos before consenting to an ar mlstlcs, and that Greece Is convinced of the Impossibility of holding out against the serious attack which Ed hem Pasha Is preparing to dellyer. It has been decided to evacuate Domokos and fall back on the old frontier. This plan will probably be carried out tomorrow, It It has not already been carried out, and thus the way will be opened for peace negotia tions. The powers arc In no mood to yield overmuch to tho demands of Turkey. The war has had quite an unex pected effect In revealing an amazing military vitality in the sultau's do minions which Is in no way to the humor of Russia or the other powers. Hence, the sultun-wlll bo reminded that It was his original misgovern ment which led to the war; that only the influence of Europe has prevented a general blaze In tne Balkans, and that It Is, therefore, adylsablo for him to accept reasonable terms. The activity of tho Turkish mili tary preparations, which were In no way abated by the diplomatic nego tatlons, may possibly be explained by the following statement of a high TurKish otllcial: "The Russians are putting a high price upon the moral support thoy ex tended to us during the Armenian trouble, but thejdemands now made on us arc so exorbitant that thclracccpt ance would be tantamount to resign ing our title as a free nation," EVACUATING DOMOKOS. The correspondent of tho Morning Post at Domokos. under date of yes terday, says It lias been decided to evacuate the position, and a large number of troops have already left. It Is freely asserted that the war Is over. ORDERED TO CAPTURE DOMOKOS. The correspondent of the Standard at Constantinople says that Edheiu Pasha has wired to the porto that he Is quite certain of being able to capt ure Domokos, and the Greek army as well, and, In response, pressing orders hayc been sent to the Turkish staff to go ahead with the greatest energy, re gardless of diplomacy. General military preparations con tinue hero on the largest scale. WANTS ANOTHER VICTORY. The foreign ambassadors held a con ference, after which Baron Calico, the Austro-Hungarian ambassador, called upon Tew Ilk Pasha, tho Turk ish minister of foreign affairs, and re newed tho proposal of an armistice, which was presented. The opinion Is general In Turkish circles that, until the occupation of Domokos, which is momentarily expected, tho porte will not grant nn armistice. Wants Damages. San Francisco, May 14.

Eldorado Canyon, Nov.. May 14.--An Indian called 'Ahvotc shot and killed two teamsters of tho South western Mining Company, named Leo Franzen and Ben Jones, of the) ore road between the mines and the mill, and then went to the cabin of Christ opher Nellson, a prospector and killed him also. The teamsters left tho mines on the down trip, but did not arrive at the mill on time. Manager Cnarlcs Gracey, supposing they had broken down, did not sus pect anything out of tho way until an Indian came In about 0 p. m., and re ported that Ah vote had taken a gun and might kill the teamsters.

The Indian appropriation bill was disposed of by the house, with the exception of tho proposition opening; the Utah gllson ltc lands, which was postponed until Monday. Nearly two hours were con sumed by parliamentary squabbles on tho point, ralsad by Wheeler, or Ala bama, that the rule for scml-wcckly sessions was In violation of tho con stitution. SInpson endeavored to renew his at tack upon tho speaker for falling to appoint committees, and he censured the Republicans for not mustering a quorum. He was declaring that there were more Democrats and Pop ulists than Republicans present, when tho speaker sustained the point that he was out of order. 'I have been In doubt whether I had any rights In this house lately," Simpson shouted, and he was com pelled to take his cat.under the rule. Payne called Simpson to ordefvand to him the Kunsan stated. "Tho speaker recognizes that you will do his bidding, and you will get a good place on a committee, nil right. I know there Is a good deal of anxiety on that point among Republicans." This moved Dlngley and W. A. Stone to call Simpson to order. Tho que tlon whether Simpson should'bo permitted to proceed, in order, was put to the house and many Republicans voted no, While others refrained from voting, so Simpson, by a vote of 80 to 57, waa given the floor. "When Simpson proceeded, however, his statements caused the speaker to declare him out, of order. There upon several Democrats protested against Simpson being taken from the floor. In explanations. Mr. Reed said: "Tho chair submits to the houso, that criticisms of what tho chair did at some past time aro not in order, not because the chair is above critic ism or above attack, but because tho speaker Is tho speaker of the houso, and such attacks aro not conductive to order. Tho speaker cannot reply to them except in a fragmentary man ner, utid It Is not desirable that any reply bo made, If any objection Is to bo mado of the speaker's conduct It can be made at tho time and direct." There was some filibustering, after which the house finally decided that Simpson could not speak, whereupon ho appealed to tho chair to bo in formed. "Where am Iat? "Tho chair has never been able to find anybody who knew that," was tho reply. . The senate decided when if ad journed that It will bo until I Monday, and'then entered on a discussion of Allen's Chapman resolution. The dis cussion ranged from dry legal argu ment to a sensational outburst by Tillman or South Carolina. Tillman said tho senate should not go after Chapman, but should learn whether tho senators had speculated (Continued on second page,) Absolutely Put Celebrated for lu great Inverting ttienj-lli and heahhfulnett.
