A CRUSHING DEFEAT FOR SPAIN American Officers Fought Gallantly Against Great Odds. New Yonic, Dec. 22. Tho Cuban version of the battle fought at Yacta ford, on the Cauta rlyer, December 14 last, has been received through the mails by captain Alfredo Rodriguez, a Cuban Insurgent officer, who is in valided In this city- It tells of a crushing defeat inflicted upon the Spanish General Pando. Captalii Rodriguez correspondent says: "A part of General Callxto GarclaS force under Lieutenant-Colonel Salva dor Rlos was holding the Yactn forrJ of the Cauta river. It was important for Pandp's forces to reopen tho river, in order Imt reinforcements might N sent to t ic city of Bayamo, besieged by Gene ral Roloff. General Callstt Garola's ualn force was a little fur ther up ho river, protecting a ford threaten :d by General Pando. Gen eral Al lave, in command of 2000 Spanish ofantry, "regulars," a squad ron of ca airy and 3000 guerrilla vol- untecrs, p IttMUUU UUU SIA ltUU gun- boats, attacked Rlos. "Disp sing his artillery on the hills comruan ling tho Yacta ford, Aldaye opened a hot Are on the insurgent works on, the opposite side of the river. Rtos antf his 500 Cubans retired into tho coyer of the woods, and tho ford was opened for the Spaniards' passage. "Ahhne advanced a column of in fantry across the ford, holding their rifles and ammunition belts above their head, tho men being protected by a continual artillery tire. Rlos, seeing that he could not hold his position without help, sent a volun teer courier, Lieutenant Charles Hickman, an American, to General Callxto Garcia, up the river. His courier had to ride directly through the enemy's tiro, but made the pas sage safely. "Meanwhile General Aldave landed 1000 nyiie.inep on the further side, and General Pando, with a laigo force, at this tliuft made a feint on the upper ford General Garcia, deceived by Vando's movemeut, decided that he could spare on'y a small reinforcement to Colonel RIoi, and sent Colonel Car los Garcia with only 200 mounted men down the riyer, This reinforcement, small as It was, renewed the hopes of the defenders of the Yacta, and they charged theSpanlsh with the bayonet. "The Cubans, however, were to heavily outnumbered that they were forced to give way. Car'QS fiarcla's horse was shot from tinder him, and Colonel Rips' was wounded slightly in the leg. Colonel Garcla's escort re newed the charge with machetes this time, and held, the Spanish force, in check for a short while, "By then, General Garcia had seen through General Panco's feint on the upper iford, and despatched General Rabl, with 1000 cavalry, to their re lief. These arrived just a the Span lull worn recovering from the machete charge, and fell suddenly upon their rear, thrpwlng the trqops, who had crossed the ford 'Into coqfusslon. The Spanish had topi veTground and be came exposed to tho fire from their own artillery from tho hills and from the six gunboats, which had Joined In the bombardment of Bios' men. General Aldave ordered this to cease, reformed his attacking party, aud despatched a message to General Pando for assistance In carrying tho Cuban position. "But it was too late. The Cubans, rcformlng.ralsed their battle shout of "A la machoto, Cuba llbro,'' and fell upon the Spanish rauks with 'terrible effect. "A bady of 1000 guerrillas w"as cut off from Aldavc's force, and threw down their arms. Ucncialllabi, know ing tho lmlf-hearted loyalty of these volunteers, told them they njyst light their own comrades or be cut to pieces, and they obeyed, and really fought desperately on tho Cuban side. "The Cuban loss In this engage ment was 100 killed and about 300 wounded, Generul Kubl's ner found 200 Spanssh dead and General Aldave, in his report to Havana, said his wounded numbered 200. "Gencarl Garcia promoted Hickman the daring courier, to captain on tho field. "Pando has reported to Qenoral JJlanco that 100,000 men are needed Lto break the backbone of tho Insur gent opposition in the cast, and that It Is no longer practicable to continue tho campaign to relievo Day a mo. Captain Rodriguez has also received news that general Maximo Qomez has crossed the Jauoriyu rlyer, at Clego de Avlla, and has continued on 'his march to effect a Junction with Gen eral Rodriguez. $200022 Those weak - cheap baking powders wabto money.

So much paid about the admission of Senator Corbett that no one can tell exactly how things -stand. The Washington Post some days has a paragraph say ing that Im will bo seated beyond any doubt, followed a few days later by a paragraph saying that It Is im possible for lilni to obtain the seat. Asa matter of fact, It Is almost out of the question to make any definite Htateninitabout.lt Tho Impression seems to bo that the committee will report his case favor ably, but everybody Is well aware that when the case comes Into the senate the unlimited debato may prevent a vote from being taken, and apponcnts of Mr. Corbett will be ablo to wc?r out those who wish to have him sealed Men and measures are alike defeated by theso means, and Mr, Corbett may suffer, because their Is no way of bringing debato to a cloe in the senate. Senatorial Work. Washington, D. C, Dec 22. Sen ator McBrlde has Introduced a bill to Increase the pension of George Gans, of Salem, from $30 to $50 a month. Gans was a member of connany D. Thirty-sixth regiment, Wisconsin -Infantry. He has also introduced a bll! directing tho treasury department U Day Thomas J. Miller, of Biggs, $500 for tho loss of a ferry boat on ho Columbia river, which was Ictroyed by forces of the United itutes to prevent its falling Into tb lands of hostile Indians during iht Bannock war, in July, 1878. He also Introduced a bill to pension TeWltl Putman, at $30 a month. Put man is a resident of Oregon, although he is now an Inmate of the Soldiers' Home, at Santa Monica, Cal. He was in tho Eleventh New York independent bat tery during tho late war. Indian Troubles. Chicago, Dec 82. A special to the Titnes-nerald from Washington says: Trouble In the Indian territory is expected by the commissioner of In dian affairs and by others who aro fa miliar with tho condition of affairs there. On January 1 tho tribal courts will bo abolished by an act passed at the last session of congress, and the United States courts given full Juris diction oyer tho territory. In many quarters the officers of the Indian courts have declared that they will forcibly resist all efforts to prevent them from doing business. The United States marshals haye given no tice that any tribal courts attempting to sit, and those assuming to conduct them will be arrested. A delegation of eight Cherokccs, even of them full-bloods, Is now in the city. Afewdaysago they pre sented a memorial to congress asking that the law bo rescinded, but con gress has now adjourned without ac tion, and when It. again convenes the Indian courts will bo out of existence. Meanwhile the subcommittee of the senate committee on Indian af fairs, appointed to connldcr tho prob lem presented lu tho territory, prac tically decided to recommond an amendment to the law applying to ihoannortlonment of all' lands held by the live civilized tribes among tho members of theso trices, and also an amendment providing that all valid leas-es shall bn recognized by the gov ernment of tho United (Hates and the mqqey paid on apepunt of them covered Into the treasury of the United States for tho bencht of the various tribes. Tho Dawes commission has reported Its failure to conie to any conclusion with the Indians. Such agreements iib have been concluded vary so in their provisions, that In ylow of tho fact that eventually a uniform system of government must be provided for In dian territory, it Is questionable whether any of tho agreements should bodetlnately ratified by congress un til the desired uniformity can be reached. Secretary Bliss thinks no govern ment will be satisfactory until con gress shall provide for a single uni form system, af laws far th,e Indian territory thqtalmUplaco all its inhab itants in possession uf tho rights of American citlrenshlp.
