From the Sun.
Havann, Fob. 9. Trusted Cuban news
has been received Riving fur'thcr de
tails of the battle at Juan Crlollo, In
Las Villas, reported on last Friday by
cable to the Sun. The first Spanish ac
count of the battle claimed a victory,
as usual, but with painful paucity of
details. The second report, which was
communicated by the press censor to
the American corespondents here, said
that Colonel Arjona made a brilliant
combined bayonet charge and cavalry
attack upon the Insurgents, dislodging
them from their positions ntter two
hours of hand-to-hand lighting. In
neither of these reports wus tho name
of aenernl Gomez mentioned, nor did
his name appear in La Lucha and the
Dlnrio de la Marina In lhe accounts
of the battle which the press censor per
mitted them to print.
I have been away from Havana and
have collected all the reports of tho bat
tle, as described by the Cubans, con
firming the reports received here. All
tho Information proves that tho action
at Juan Crlollo adds another page of
glory to tho history of Gomez's mili
tary cartel.
Thi battle decided the campaign in
L,a3 Villas In favor of tho Cubans, and
frightened General Weyler so far that,
as Is already known to the Sun's read
ers, he teleurnphod to Havana for re
inforcements, declaring liunself unable
to withstand General Gomez unless ho
had mure troops under his command.
Tho battle was foutrht on Feb. 1 and
lasted fum a to C o'clock in the after
noon. It began after General Gomez
had raised the siege of Arroyo Rlnnco,
upon the nrlval there of tho column of
Colonel Arjona, who came from Clego
de Avlla in aid of tho besieged garrison
of Arroyo Rlaneo. When the ilrsl shots
of Arjona's vanguard were heard a
few minutes after 12 p. in., General Go
mez ordered his troops to abandon the
siege and concentrate on the estate of
Juan Crlollo, between two hills and
with several prominent positions dom
inating the plain in which Arroyo
Blanco Is situated. Gomez took pos
session of those strasetlc points.
The arrival of the column of Arjona
and the apparent withdrawal of Gen
eral Gomez aroused frantic joy among
the Spaniards. When Arjona entered
the town tho Cuban vanguard, com
manded by General Francisco Car
rlllo, could hear the wild cries of en
thusiasm of the garrison welcoming
the column and slvlng cheers for Ar
jona. nut Carrlllo ordered one of his
guerrillas to approach and lire upon
the forts, so as to let the Spaniards
know that the war was not over, and
then Arjona started again from Ar
royo nianco, as he declared, "In pur
Suit of the enemy."
Arjona was in command of 3.&00 men,
to which lie added some COO more, gath
ered on his way from Clego do Avlta.
He had two cannon, one of twelve and
the other of six pounds. His force in
cluded GOO cavalrymen. Gomez had
only 2,500 well armed men, though in
the second oiliclal report published In
La Lucha it is said that the Insurgents
numbered 3,000. Gomez had also a
pneumatic dynamite gun, but It was
not very effective. The projectiles ex
plode on percussion by means of a ful
minate of mercury cap, and either on
account of tho moist climate of Cuba,
which damages the fulminate, or ow
ing to some other unknown cause, three
out of four bombs did not explode. The
same complaint was made about n can
non of that kind used some months
ago In the jurisdiction of Sanetl-Splr-Itus
by tho late Cuban General Serafln
Sanchez. However, two or three bombs
exploded at Juan Crlollo In the Span
ish ranks when the lighting began,
producing terlble confusion.
2FFORTS OF SPANIARDS.
With the intelllaent and courageous
aid of General Carrlllo, Gomez succeed
ed in driving the Spaniards to the cen
tre of the estate Junn Criollo, where a
terrible fight began. Ah the efforts of
the Spaniards were directed to captur
ing the Cuban cannon, mid this error
led them to their ruin and defeat, be
cause tho nearer they approached tho
cannon the more they involved theni
feelves in the trap prepared by General
Gomez.
At last the Spaniards, heavily chas
tised by the combined fire of Carlllo
mi onu side and Gomez on the other,
became panic stricken, and the Cubans
had before them merely a mob of men.
Just ut this juncture the Spanish major,
Posada, fell dead, his chest pierced by
n bullet. The confusion of the Span
iards now became greater than ever,
for Posada was struck down nearly in
the centre of their forces. The Span
ish surgeon, Dr. Cenicero, wont to assist
Posada, but when he lifted him from
the ground to see his wound another
volley of the Cubans killed him also.
The order "al machete" given bv
General Gomez decided tho action. The
Cubans charged from all sides, and then
a hand-to-hand fight began. In tho
first moments the Cuban Colonel Rem
lglo Lopez was killed by a bayonet
thrust. The Spanish Lieutenants Don
Longlno Martinez and Don Frederico
Penn foil dead, Martinez from a blow
by a machete which cut his head off.
KIghty Spanish soldiers wero killed with
tho machetes, and more than 100 wero
severely wounded and loft helpless on
the Held. Before tho hand-to-hand fight
began the Spanish losses were already
more than H'O men.
The greatest disadvantage of tho
Spaniards was the fact that in the plain
which they had entered In their desire

lork, pott pala, upon receipt of price. Book irao upon application,
to capture the Cuban cannon their own
artillery was useless, an the Held chos
en by Gomez was shielded from tho lire
of tho two Spanish cannons by a hill.
From tho very beginning of the action
it was seen that In selecting the posi
tion for his artillery Colonel Arjona
made a great mlstnke. Arjona himself,
In the middle of tho engagement, order
ed his nrtlllerymen to stop ilrlng, an
their cannons were only threatening tho
Spanish ranks without endangering the
Cubans at all,
Some minutes after 5 o'clock-, and In
tho midst of tho great disorder Into
which the SpanlnulB had boon thrown,
Colonel Arjona. ordered his troops to ro
th e to Arroyo Plnnco. The garrison
ol that town, relieved by Arjona in tho
afternoon from the terrible attack by
Gomez, had not mado tho least effort
to help Arjona In his awful disaster.
In great confusion, and suffering at
every stop from the persistent lighting
of the Cubans, tho Spaniards retreated
to the town, reaching It after C o'clock.
Tho soldiers wero terribly exhausted,
arid nearly all were covered with blood.
One section of the column did not reach
tho town, because it was dispersed In
the plain when Lieutenant Pena was
killed.
BRAVERY OF COLONEL ARJONA.
All reports agree that Colonel Ar
jona behaved bravely. The terrible
slaughter of his men was due to Ills
incapacity and tho undoubted superi
ority of Gomez as a strategist rather
than to lack of courage on his part.
But his defeat was so decisive that tho
Spaniards prefer to preserve sllonco
over the affair rather than to praise
and promote him, as they have repeat
edly done in the case of less courageous
chiefs.
Furthermore, they fear tho deep im
pression which tho news of the battle
will produce all over tho country.
General Gomez's prestige Is so great
that every one of his military achieve
ments fills all Cuban sympathizers in
Cuban towns and In foreign lnnds with
enthusiasm, nnd therefore adds
strength to tho revolution.
Tho couraso of General Gomez and
his reckless behavior In battle are re
markable, and mnke his soldiers trem
ble for safety. No entreaties of his
subordinates avail to prevent him from
risking I1I3 life. With a degree of phy
sical energy that is almost incredible
at his age, lie loads his cavalry attacks
and whenever he sees his men In a
dlllicult situation he is among them in
an Instant, nnlmatlng their courage
and showing them what pluck Is. Slnco
tho death of Antonio Maceo every one
observes thnt Gomez appears to be
perfectly Insensible to danger, and
when any one protests that such dis
plays of courage are unnecessary in
their lender and that his life Is too
precious to Cuba to be thus jeoparded
he answers:
"I cannot ask others to do what I am
not willing to do myself; and no man's
life Is necessary to Cuba when Marti
nnd Maceo have gone, and the cause
of the revolution has brighter pros
pects now than ever."
When, a few days ago, the officials
composing the Cuban government wero
with him, he was obliged to avoid fight
ing. When President Cisneros was
about to leave General Gomez's camp
ho told the general that his personal
preservation, for Cuba's sake, was of
the highest importance to the cause,
nnd that it was deplorable to see the
Cuban generals perishing in battle on
account of their own Imprudence.
Gomez smiled, and promised that he
would do his best to keep alive and
meet the president again. But at Juan
Criollo ho foigot his promise. He wns
throughout the battle In the first rank
of the fighters, and he took a Spanish
soldier prisoner with his own hands.
When Colonel Remiglo Lopez fell, sus
pecting that the death of that bravo
leader would discourage the Cubans,
he threw himself Into the middle of the
hand-to-hand fight, and several Cu
bans died to protect his life.
The Cuban losses at Juan Crlollo are
Insignificant as compared with those
of the Spaniards. Colonel Lopez and
Lieutenant Juan Diaz wero killed and
ubout seventy soldiers also perished.
RACE WITH DEATH.
Eagerness of a Father to See His Son
AliveRemarkable Feat in Railroad
ing Accomplished in Vain. .
Denver, Col., Feb. 1". Tho special
train from Chicago over the Chicago
Burlington and Qulncy and the Bur
lington and Missouri railroads, char
tered by Henry J. Mayham, a Den
ver milling investment broker, reached
this city ut 3.52 a. in. today, having
run 1,02(1 miles in eighteen hours nnd
fifty-two minutes.
This Journey goes Into history as the
greatest railroad feat ever accom
plished. Tho best previous railroad
long-distance record was nineteen hours
and fifty-seven minutes over the Now
York Central and Lake Shore railroads,
irom isew lone to Chicago.
Mr. Mayham, who left New York
Sunday on the Pennsylvania limited,
chartered a special train at Chicago
In order to reach the bedside of his dy
ing son, William B. Muyham, ns quick
ly as possible. The Burlington offi
cials agreed to take him to Denver In
twenty-four hours. It was nt first
thought the trip might be made in
twenty-one hours. Every resource of
the Burlington system was brought
Into play and over two hours clipped
off from the best running time
thought to bo possible. On straight
stretches of track the train covered
more than sixty miles an hour. The
mountain climb from Akron, Col., to
Denver, IIS miles, wns mado In 121
minutes, tho train running an oven
mile a minute much of the distance.
At Lincoln, Neb., Traveling Engineer
Dixon, of the Burlington entered tho
cab of the engine and remained with
each engineer ns he came on until tho
train reached Denver.
No special train bearing high offi
cials of the nation ever attracted more
careful attention from the officers of
the railway. Telegrams from all parts
of tho United States Inquired concern
ing tho progress of tho train and tho
poVslblllty of Mr. Mnyham reaching
the tide of his son In time at least to
grasp his hand before ho was beckoned
across the dark river. At tho Burling
ton pnssenger ofilco In this city the
representatives were kept busy ans
wering questions from friends and woll
wlshirs of the family. But, In spite of
tho Burlington's splendid record, Mr,
Mnyham arrived In Denver too late
to see hi son alive. The young man
died shortly ntter midnight.
Mr. Mnyham was constantly sending
his son telcgrnnis ns ho neared Denver.
Before reaching Colorado he sent three
messages in succession, each of which
was to tho effect that whc.n Will got
well they would r;o to California to
hasten the son's recovery. As he
neared this city the messages became
more frequent, and ut the moment
when the son was lying dead tho fath
er, hnlf-crazed with fear, was still
sending messages,
Mrs. Mayham, mother of Will, and
her daughter wero In New Orleans when
apprised of his Illness, nnd they also
hurried homeward.
Will Mayham was 21 years of age, and
was married but a few months ago.
Friday morning he appeared in the best
of health, ljut later In the day ho be
came 111, and appendicitis In the most
violent form quickly developed. The
deceased was one of the most promising
young business men in Denver.
BRAZILIAN FANATICS AROUSED.
Duke oOIontiicuslor Said to lie Aid
lug the Rebels,
Buenos Ayros, Argentina, Fob. 17.
A correspondent In Rio Janeiro, Bra
zil, telegraphs that Colonel Morolra
Caesar, who was ordered to Bahla to
suppress the rebellion of tho fanatical
bands under Conselhclro, has sent word
that he must have more troops. He
doclnres that the strength of tho fanat
ics Is largely underestimated, and It Is
feared that there will be' a severe
struggle before the revolt Is overcome.
In Brazilian papers It Is charged
that President Mornos Is responsible
for tho disorder In the dominant par
ties In tho republic, and it Is also
charged that the Duke do Montpensler
has sent funds from Paris to Consel
heiro. ANGER FOR A DOG KILLS A A1AN.
Accidentally Shot While Using a (uu
as n Club.
New Haven, Conn., Feb. 17. Ellas
B. Servoss, jr., lost his life this morn
ing In the Servos3 summer residence,
In Whltneysvllle. Tho young man
was disturbed by tho barking of a
neighbor's dog, and took tho fnmlly
gun to tho porch to shoot the nnlmal.
He tried to fire at It. but the gun did
not explode, and he decided that it wa3
not loaded. He then tried to club the
dog with the gunstock and tho weapon
was discharged, the shot entering his
chest, killing him instantly.

154,000 shares. Irregularity was the
chief characteristic of speculation at

result of a sharp rise In Tobacco. This
stock jumped 3 per cent, and the ad
vance was credited to mannulntlon.
