Manzunlllo, Fob. 28, via Havana, March 7. Tlio Spanish column o Gen eral Vara del Key; 2,000 men stronu, was defeated and (dispersed two dnyw uko by the Cuban forces under com mand of General Cnllxto Garcia. More than 1,000 Spaniards were left dead on the estate Oostomada and the remain ing part of the column entred Mauza nlllo In the nreatest disorder, urovlne how serious the defeat was. In spite of the ait of snatching vic tory from defeat, hi which the Spanish olllclal reports so greatly excel, General Vara del Key Is obliged to confess his disaster, though finding an excuse In the superior number of the Cubans and the advantage of their position. In his report, Ituqvrn al Manzanlllo, though probably It, will not be published In Havana, he suys that his column wns only 1,500 men strong and he estimates the Cubans at over 11,000. The Spanish dead, he jjays; vnn COO, and, he adds, that notwithstanding he was obliged to retire, the losses of the insurgents were also severe. ' The battle turned against the Spani ards when General" Vai a del Key tried to cross, on his way to Manzanlllo, the river Buey, notwithstanding the heavy (lie from the Oubun rllles mid two can non, a twelve-pounder, which caused terrible slaughter. While crossing the river all was dis order and confusion among the Spani ards, und' they "could not reply to the volleys of their1, foes. Nearly all their horses were drowned and they had to ibandon the more Important part of the convoy they were escorting. A small bridge of wood of which they availed themselves broke down and Vvlth it one Spanish cannon snhk to the Dottom of the river. Other cannon Km a left on the shoro and were can lured by the Cubans. On the other sldeof the river General Vara del ney found another Cuban "olumn waiting for him. In the state of panic and confusion to which his troops had been reduced the Cubans tcruld easily complete their victory. NARROW 1.SCAPI2 OF DEL HEY. Vara del Hey himself narrowly es caped being captured, and he owes his salvation to a Spanish captain named Qulntero, who bravely protected him ivlth some hundred soldiers from a sud den cavalry attackby the Insurgents. In this situation "the Spaniards decid ed to abandon the remainder of the .onvoy, which they succeeded In tak ng across the river, and they hastened their march to Manzanlllo. As the object of the Cubans was to seize the convoy, the light ended there. It lasted eight hours. The Spaniards took two hours to cross the river, and they behaved with great courage dur ing all the battle. Not a single Span ish soldier deserted. All who did not reach Manzanlllo were left killed or wounded, on the field. The battle was directed by General r'allxto Garcia In person, though the sreat success he obtained was In great part duo to the skill of his chief of staff, Colonel Mario Menocal, who le eelved Information about the path which Vain del Key had decided to fol ow, and planned the battle, placing- the ?ubans on both sides of the river Huey. Jieneral Gaicla took command of the (list body and Colonel Menocal of the second, which made the last and de cisive attack on the other side of :he river. The Cubans captured S00 lilies, one r-annon, and 500,000 rounds of ammuni tion, besides a large stock of provi sions for the town of Manzanlllo. General Garcia controls the province of Santiago de Cuba so fan that even In the fortified towns and seaports, where the Spaniards still hold out, his orders are obeyed. Only after paying regular contributions to the Insurgent nrmy are the merchants ot! these towns able to Import and sell their goods. Eayaino is still in the hands of the Spaniards, but the Cubans freely com municate with th6 town, and the garrl con dare not make any sally agulnst the numerous Insurgent bands which swarm around the ulace. BOLD CUBAN RAIDERS. Havana, via Key West, March 7. On the night of March 4, about 0 o'clock a'band of Cuban patriots made tin irruption into the important town of Gulncs, Havana province, nnd with Jieavy discharges of musketry, forced the garrison to retreat into their bar racks and the forts surrounding the town, sifter taking possession of the sumo they overran tho town, setting ine io nrieen nouses and sacking many stores. After accomplishing their bold deed they quietly left the town at 3 a. m. Tlio losses sustained by the Spaniards was one killed and two wounded, nmong tlio latter being the commander. It is said -that the Cubans left three dead in the streets. Jn or der to appreciate the importance of the deed It Is necessary to know that Gulnes has a population now of 10,000 souls, and the garrison exceeded H.000. Yesterday the parties of Frederico, Nu nez and Kmillo Loran, 200 strong, sur prised seventy laborers of the sugar estate "Neptune," near Marcel, Pluar Del KIo provlncv, In the uct of cutting cane. All of them were held prisoners for a couple of hours nnd Jlnullv re leased, after depriving them of all their clothing. About 0 p. m. on March 2. a party of rebels entered the town of Lascanns, Plnar Del io province, looting n store, burning at their departure thirty-one huts and many stores were also sacked. The military commander, with forty men of the garrison and a section of volunteers repulsed the Insurgents, forcing them to abandon the town. The rebels In their retreat fired a few shots at the troops, but no harm was done. i EXTRA SESSION CALLED. President McKinley's Proclamation Calling Congress Together. Washington, March 7. President McKlnley's first proclamation was is sued' yesterday afternoon, with the nttpstatiou of the new secretary of state, John Sherman. It reads as fol lows! By the President of tho United States of America. A PROCLAMATION. Whereas, public Interests require that the congress of the United States, should bo convened In extra session nt 12 o'clock on the 15th day ot March, 1SS7, to rocelvo such communications' as may he made by the excutlve; i Now, therefore, I. Wllllatii McKlnley, president of the t'nlted Slates ot uueilca, do heteby proclaim and declare unit mi extraordinary occasion requites the con fciess of the United States to convene In extra session at the cnpltol In the city of Waul Ington on the 15th day of March, Iff", at 12 o'clock, noon, of which all p"r Bons who shall at that time be entitled to act mi members thereof am hereby re quired to take notice.

William McKlnley. Ity tho president. John Sherman, secretary of state. The limiting clause restricting the ac tion of tho extra session "to such com munications are may be mndo by the executive," suggests that possibly the president 'may limit the objects of the extra session to the paspnge of the un acted upon appropriation bills and the enactment ot n tariff law, the object ot which will be, In the words of Mr. McKlnley's Inaugural address, "to stop deficiencies by the restoration of that protective legislation which has always been the firmest prop of tho treasury." Mr. Cleveland, when he cnlled an extra session for the repeal of the Sherman silver purchasing law, practically limit ed the session to that one object. CONFISCATED BY ONE G.

PECULIARITIES OF THE PUGILISTS The Vtuioits Wows Explained by nil i:icrt--Fli.siniiiniis Hunts .lack Itubhils.-Coihett Poses lor Photos. John L, Sullivan Oilers to Fight tho Winner. Carson, Nov., March 7. The only Items of news which kept the sports In Carson nllve tu-dn'y was John L. Sullivan's reiinrted challenge to the winner ot the Corbett-Fltzslmmons fight. It led to a discussion of tho iclatlvo merits of Sullivan In his prime and the foremost pugilist of to-day. According to my notion," spoltu a well known authority on boxing and boxers, "John L. at his bast would stand no show to-day with either Jim or Fitz. Like everything else, box ing has developed. The ponderous sluggers are no longer- In the game. The pugilist today fights with his head ! and feet as well as with his fists. He does not batter his forearms parrying blows. Tho side-step, as practiced now, does awny with much of that. With Corbett and Fitzslm mons, for example. Their trunks ap poar to be set upon a socket nt the hips, and they swing to cither side like a blude of grass, "If neither of these two men lose their heads, this battle Will be fought almost entirely with new blows. I have been watching both of them at woik every day for a week. Next time you visit Corbett, Just observe his arms move. He whips his left arm around with a circular -motion, sweeping It in like the closing of a knife. When leading: he does not draw back an Inch, but shoots his glove at his opponent without betray ing the slightest Intention ot his movements. His feet are always planted firmly, and his body goes for ward with every blow just far enough to measure the distance and not too far to jump back out ot danger. His 4nr.t ...mil. t.a ...iiMinliillll Til ,U, (lflt'U iuui ,ulli 13 UIUI iii,uri ah i.ri uuj n 1' have not observed him to stumble or overbalance himself. Fltzslmmons' style Is peculiar. No body can Imitate him. With his arms rigid and his head well back, he crouches low and watches for an open ing. When the opportunity conies, up goes his shoulders to protect his chin, and he literally pushes his glove at the man before him, straightening out his knees and giving the full weight of his body to the blow. Bob requires less latitude In which to hit than any man living. The blow that knocked Maher out traveled less than a foot. His main strength appears to be in the forearms and he can hit a terrible jolt or bat at any distance. Every body knows what a hook he Is capable of landing. "Do I think he will get In on Jim?" That Is hard to say. if he does, he will win the cahmplonshln; but what will Jim be doing In the meantime? Of course, one or the other of the fight ers may get rattled and forget all about his pet blows. The one who does will be u lobster after March 17." SULLIVAN'S CHALLENGE. Sullivan's alleged challenge was not taken seriously by either of the cham pions. They both laughed It off as a jest. Fitzslmmons shouldered a gun this morning and tramped about the foot hills looking for Jack rabbits. He came home empty handed, put on his Sunday togs and set out for the state peniten tiary, where he attended services, af terwards taking a hot mineral bath. His day's work was all crowded Into the morning hours, und consisted of light sparring, wrestling and bag punching. Over at Corbett's, the order of the day was reversed. Jim attacked an accumulation of letters after breakfast and replied to all those deserving an answer. He posed for a few photo graphs while nt work, and nnueared to enjoy reading his coriespondenee. At the solicitation of Charley White, who Is his chief adviser at present, Jim cut his work down this afternoon. The punching bag was fought for twen ty minutes. McVey, Woods, Edgren and Jeffries stood up for three rounds each with the gloves, and two games of hand ball finished the evening's work, with Jim scarcely pulling at the end. Mayor Yeiington. City Marshal Kln zey and the committee of citizens ap pointed to receive and care for visitors, issued a card to the public today, an nouncing that board and lodging might be secured for any number of guests at moderate prices. The committee had on Its list manv comfortable rooms at from $1 to $L"per day, and good meals can be obtained at a uniform rate of CO cents each.
