Washikoton, May 16. A ease of con-

While most of the people started from
the Kansas and Texas borders, some in

Oklahoma from Kansas, This gave
them a considerable start in the race for

The eugagemeuG lasted from 5 o'clock
in the morning until 5 o'clock in ths

tory for the Spanish troops. A detach
ment of 400 soldiers attacked and fought
bravely against 2,000 insurgents, who
were led by Gomez, the two Maceos,
Rabia and Cartagena. The lieutenant
colonel who led the Spanish force or
dered his soldiers to open fire as the
rebels advanced, and fell furiously upon
the troops. Eventually the enemy sur
rounded the Spanish troops with a vast
ly superior force. Major Robels, upom
whom the command of the Spanish
troops devolved, when the lieutenant
was shot down, succeeded in holding
his position and in repelling the attacks
of the rebels. But the Spaniards were
completely surrounded, and it was nec
essary for a portion of the force to cut
its way out in order to communicate
with the base of supply and obtain rein
forcements. Major Garrido, at the head
of 00 volunteers, made a brilliant dash
into the insurgents' line3 and forced his
way through the circle of Hfe which
surrounded the troop3. Shortly after
Major Garrido's volunteers had pierced
the insurgents' lines another detach

miners created somo alarm among the
old men. Today is likely to be a test
one for the opposing forces. The min

drinking is abstained from. The leaders
have advised peace and nonviolation of
the rights of property. The military
