THE m BRAVE FIGHT
Desperate Battle With Spanish Forces
at Paso Real.
REPORTED DEFEAT OF INSURGENTS
Though Bald to Have Been Put to night
the Revolutionists Seem to Move In Any
Direction They Choose Letters
From General Maceo.
Havana, Feb. 5. A report has boon ro
celvi'dthnt an Important engagement lias
taken plaoo nt I'nso Itoal, east of tho city
of Vlnar tlol lllci, batween the Spanish
forces under Oenoral Luque anil tho In
Snrgoiits under Antonio Maceo. Tlio loss
of tho Insurgents Is reported to bo sixty
two killed and over 200 wounded. 'Pholosi
on tho Spanish side Is not stated beyond
the fact that General Luquo was wounded,
how seriously Is not stated.
Tho battlo waq fiercely contested, and
tho advantage la claimed to bo all on the
sldo of tho Spanish as n result. But It Is
significant that Maceo's forces, Instead of
being turned back to the westward, pro
ceeded on their way towards Havana prov
ince after tho battle.
According to the official report of the
engagement Goneral Luquo went In search
of tho engagement, and mot tho lusur
gontH at 2 o'clock Monday nftornoon. An
attack was Immediately opened on the In
surgents In the town. They held their
position with tho greatest teunclty.maklng
their defense in the village Itself from tho
vantage ground of tho houses and the
walls of tho stroots. From these points It
was found diillcult to dlslodgo them,
though a fire was dlroctcd upon them from
all sides.
Tho Spanish formal for a regular and
systematic attack, tho vanguard of tho
columns under Colonel Hernandez charg
ing their position by tho left flank, whllo
the center and rear guard of tho Spanish
undor tho direct command of Ucnorol
Luquo forced themselves Into tho central
street of the village and nttacked by tho
right flank, charging with vigor and de
termination. Seeing their position thus imperilled and
themselves In duugor of having their re
treat cut off, the insurgents mado a rapid
retreat to tho extreme western limits of
tho village, doing somo oxccutlon during
tho retreat. Hero they formed their Hues
for n further stand against tho attack of
tho Spaniards. A volley from tho rlilcs of
the troops failed to break tho lino of tho
Insurgent forces. They were given n sec
ond volley, but still they stood their
ground and oven In faco of n third volloy
of rlflo bullets they refused to budge nn
Inch and obstluately maintained their for
midable lino.
Tho Spanish cavalry was then ordered
to charge and It swept down with great
valor upon tho devoted baud led by Lieu
tennuts Herrcra and Uorcuguer. Tho In
hurgents were unable to stand this on
slaught, and tholr formation was broken
uud thoy wcro put to flight, ten of thorn
being killed with cavalry sabers.
They wero pursued by tho Spanish cav
alry outside tho limits of tho vlllago, but
tho pursuers wore hero mot by a force of
Insurgent cavalry numbering a thousand,
and tho pursuit wa checked. Tho Insur
gent cavalry mado a stand and met tho at
tack of tho Spanish, covering tho retreat
of their friends, and stubbornly refusing
to glvo way, In faco of tho Spanish flro, un
til tho Spanish Infantry enmo up.
Meanwhile the Cubans had worked their
way Into tho Callo Ileal, and onco more
made a vigorous stand against tho on
slaught of tho Spanish troops. Tho bat
talion of San Qulntlu advanced upon
thorn, but It was only utter repeated vol
leys hud been llred luto them that their
position was taken, and the village was In
possession of the Spanish. .
But still the Insurgeuts did not abandon
tho flold, but only guvo back beforo the
troops, and prepared to make a last stand
In a palm grovo about threo kilometers
distant. Hero they formed n lino of de
fense again.
The Spanish artillery then, opened flro
upon tho enemy nt a distance of 000 yards.
The Insurgent cavalry did not await tho
noarer approach of tho Spaniards, but
dashed down tho declivity out of tho palm
grovo and charged full upon tho Spanish
formation with bavuga valor. Those In
trepid horsemen throw thomselves upon
tho points of tho bayonets of tho Spaniards.
The Spanish Infantry, howevor, stood firm
and repulsed tho charge with tho bayonet.
Thoy then In turn themselves mado a bay
onet charge. Tho Insurgent cavalry re
treated, but only to form n second line for
another chnrgo,
Tho troops wero formed Into a hollow
gquaro to meet this charge. Their artlllory
opoued upon tho Insurgents nt a distance
of only 150 yards. This last chargo was
also repulsed, many Insurgents being
wounded with bayonets, and tho Insur
gents thereupon retired, taking their de
parture In tho direction of Los I'alaclos, to
tho eastward, towards Havana province.
A report received from tho province of
Santiago do Cuba says that the column
under command of Colonel Tojodu, num
bering 800 mon, hud a fight ut Ojoclnado,
Cuutoabajo, with tho bauds of Joso Maceo,
liotinu and Horrero, which hud acted as
escort for the Insurgent government.
Their position and camp wero taken and
thoy were forced to retreat, leaving sovon
tocli killed, with arms and a quantity of
uimnuultlon.
At Playa, In the district of Dahia Honda,
Piuar del itlo, tho Insurgents attacked a
convoy of troops under Major Leal. They
witru repulsed with u loss of four killed
und six wounded.
Tint village ,of ltalio was attacked by the
lnsurguutu, who plundered the, stores, but
-with tho assUtuuco of tho troops thoy were
dispensed with loss. Thoy also attacked a
passongor train from Jovollanos. The
train's esoort repulsod tho Insurgents, kill
ing four of them.
The band led by Tuinba Puatro at
tempted to burn tho village of .uluetu,
Santa Clara, but wero unsuccessful, where
upon they ljurned tho surrounding cane
flelds. Tho contluucd activity of tho lusurtronts
all over iho lslanu is indicated' uy tholafgo
number o constantly arriving rcfugoos,
whole families making for tho towns to
rscnpb the violence of tho insurgents In
tho cduntry districts. It Is nllpged that

The Public School Teachers Project a
Grand Success.
FERGUSON'S THEATRE CROWDED.
About One Hundred Dollars Added to the
Fund-The Entertainment Was of a
Superior Order and Oave Ex
cellent Satisfaction.
The entertainment ill Ferguson's thentro
last night, for the licueflt of tho worthy poor
and lo lellovo the dKtrcss of deserving
childicn attending the public schools, was
a flattering success. The audience was a
very largo and select one and tho surplus
receipts will considerably swell the poor
fund. It is thoualit that about $100 will be
left after all expenses are paid.
The undertaking was under the allspices of
tho Shenandoah public school teachers and
much credit is duo them for their service in
that direction, and especially to the com
mittee they appointed to arr.iugo tho details.
The cause was a worthy ono and it was so
effectively drawn to tho attention of the
people that all cla-scB contributed liberally
to its suppurt.
As to the character of the entertainment
too niiirh praise cannot ho given. For about
two hours llyron YV. King, the elocutionist
aud entertainer, amused, saddened and
thrilled the large audience with ids variety
of artistic excellence and power. His care
fully portrayed impersonations challenged
admiration and his power of pantomimic is
indescribable. The attention of tho audience
never wavered whllo Mr. King was on tho
stage and at times it appeared to ho spoll
bound. His imitation of the sleigh bells, of differ
ent tones, was ,un exhibition ef wonderful
powers that brought forth rapturous applause.
Mr. King has a voice of wonderful scopo aud
force, aud his portrayal of human passion
was especially uoticcahlo in the rendition of
Shakespearean plays. Mr. King enmo hero a
perfect stranger, but ho leaves behind him
many warm friends and admirers.
Tho universal sentiment among all who
had tho pleasure of boing present at last
evening's entertainment ii that tho teachers
should follow it up withasoriesof entertain
ments of a similar character.
A pleasing foaturo of tho ovening was tbo
music furnished by theSchoppo orchestra.
Thcro aro no bettor musical organizations iu
the county, and thoy sustained their reputa
tion last night.
