It Is not thought that such will ho the case, and that but two sessions will be held here.

Hois not a member. J. C. Campbell, of Westiuorelaud, is 011 tho com mission.

Qafuaed to state ifluntliiued on Fourth Page.) A BIG BATTLE IS EXPECTED. Spaniards Will Make an Attempt to Capture Banes. STRONGLY HELD BY INSURGENTS. The Spaniards succeed In Nearly Destroy ing the Town, But Thus Far nave Bn Unable to Storm the rortlfloatlons Erected. Havana, April 16. Banea, an im portant port on the north coast, near Olbara, from which ro heavy annual exportatlons of banana and ooooa nuta to the United State, was almost entirely destroyed by the Spaniards yesterday. The expedition under General nolo ft, by the steamer Laurada, carrying; 2,400 rllles, 600,000 cartridges and several pieces of rapid firing; artillery, landed along-side the quay at Banes. Oeneral Callxto Garcia, with 5,000 men, came to protect the convoy of arms, and am munition, but as RolofT had no men to arm Garcia was compelled to carry the a.rm into the Interior. It Is reported that the Insurgents, hearing: that a tlpanish gunboat might arrive at any moment, closed the en trance of the port with torpedoes. Gen eral Itoloff, assisted by local bands, and finally by the soldiers under Gen eral Garcia, commenced to fortify the heights around the port, hastily cast ing up trenches to make the port tem porarily Impregnable to any Spanish forces in the neighborhood of Olbara, The Kunboats Nuevsi IJspanaB and Meallcla had arrived at Nlpe from Jluvane, The eruisor Itelna Mercedes had left Havana on the 18th with four companies of marines and Infantry under the comrfland of Hear Admiral Ularenco to unite with all the forces Which had left Nlpe and Olbara, with a view to a combined land and sea at tack upon the Insurgent position for the recovery of the port of Danes. Nlpe is separated from Banes by the San Ramon peninsula. Three columns, 1,000 men In all, marched Banes, where they are detained In full view of the formidable and nearly impreg-. nable insurgent positions. Reinforcements have been Bent for ward by the Spaniards, and Admiral Nayarro sailed today by the cruiser Jesaspl for the Carrlbean and thence for Nlpe, to personally direct the at tack by sea. The reinforcements ex pected will be under General Llvares. Evidently nn -Important battle Is in gIBlit If the Insurgents try to defend their advantageous stronghold and their claim of being able to hold a sea port. Great anxiety exists with refer ence to the garrison of 100 men in the fort defending the quay at Banes. It ts "believed they will be compelled to surrender for laok of water and sup plies. j!.portn nntl Imports. Washington, April 16.
