On the night of the 13th hist , the insurgents burned a dwelling house on a plantation near Estrilla. Sa- gua was also assaulted by a band supposed to be that of Cobia. The insurgents succeeded in capturing a quantity of goods and money , which they carried off ; one of the men garrisoning the place was wounded. On the 16th inst. the Spanish guerillas discovered a band of insurgents under Juniuze , and pursued it to Ignore. Here the reb els made a stand , and the Spaniards attacked them , but under unfavora ble circumstances , receiving a gall ing fire from the moh , hy which they suffered severely. Atterwards the insurgents were heavily reinforced - forced andjthey charged on the Spaniards. The guerillas gallantly defended themselves , but were compelled fi nally to withdraw. They succeed ed in carrying off their wounded. The killed were left on the field. The killed included one captain and lieutenants. The loss to the insur gents must have heen quite as heavy as the guerillas fought with great courage.

The cnurch of which this reverend gentleman is pastor will , it is ex pected , take summary action in the case. Mrs. Miller , the girl's aunt , says MissPomeroy confided to her a statement setting forth thatGlen - denning , while at her house , had had a pistol in his hand , and forced her to write a statement at his dic tation. She could not remember , owing to her confused state of mind , what she wrote , but it was intended to shield him in case of investiga tion. She declared that he was father of her child. NASHVILLE , August 20. The Democratic State Conven tion met yesterday , Hon. Gustavus A. Henry was elected as permanent chairman. The platform adopted was liberal and broad in sentiment and in State affairs. It opposes the civil rights bill as oppressive to the south and as unconstitutional , which bill should be resisted by all legal and constitutional means. Jt denounces the bill as aggressive on the Southern people , and if passed would entail untojd miseries and oppression. It favors economy in State government. The platform is such that all Democrats , Conserva tives , Independents , and those op posed to radicalism can stand on it. The following persons were named as candidates for nomination : For Governor , Enoch IJnsley ; J d.ge , R S Morgan , lion John S Kerr , General Marcus J Wright , HonD B Thomas , Michael Burns , Hon A S Marks , Colonel John Netherland , and Judge James D Porter. The first and second ballots were scat tering. The third ballot stood , Thomas , 185 ; Burns , 192 ; Porter , 315 ; MarkSj 144. The rest were scattering. The convention at 4 p. m. adjourned. WASHINGTON , August 20. The Secretary of State in a con versation with a reporter , entirely discredited the published statements relating to the proposed cession of the Island of Porto Rico to the Ger man Empire Mr. Fish considers the story in credible. He regards Admiral Palo as a skillful diplomat , and a loyal officer to his Government , and docs not think that he would , under any c rcumstances , have sent to tl > e home Government , thp letter attri buted to. * him ih'thepuolrshed state ment referred to. Mr. Fish considers , , - ers thftt tjie rpport Js de signed to be in some way , ot service to the CarJi t cause , probably by seeking to create ill- feeling between the German Gov- ernmsnt and the United States. It can be positively stated that our i government has 119 kiiowleqcrp of this' proposed bargain. Mr. jFisli states that in case the rumor proves true , the policy of the United States Government would not be doubtful. What that policy js , is very clearly denned in Presjd.e.nt Grant's ' annual message to' Congress in 1869 , in whipU ho pays the United States have no disposition to Interfere with spain and her colonial possessions on this continent. They believe that in due time Spain and other European powers will find it to their Interest In terminating these rela tions and establishing their present dependencies as Independent pow ers members of the family of na tions. From late advices received at the ta"tp ccpartm'oqt | relative to the Japanese expedition to Formosa , it ippears that China has protested to lie American minister at Pekin jgainst the act of two American of- icers Gen. Lequendue , of the con sular service , and Lieut. Douglas Hassel , of the navy from joining aid expedition. China claims that his is in violation of the law of na- lo'nS. They also piaim that if civil- zed nations are tb be accorded the ight of ex-territorjality , they must a turn maintain neutrality 'law. AVhile our government considers .he action of the two officers named is very unwise and unfortun4tp , it s not admitted that they have act- id in violation of the neutrality aws. In proof of this last " pont | vqrj- us coses are cited , "where Curing ho Jato war , officers of foreign gov- rnnipnts obtained leave of abspnpe ind accented * coninijssjons pp. either ilde of the contest , and neither of he European powers or the United states government remonstrated ; vhile there Is no official rutnorlty n hat this government " will realwith China on { his mint. It is Relieved that gyeji is he fact as stated. It will , however , ise its best efforts to prevent any lifficulty with China , and to protect iur valuable commercial interests vith that country from being dis- S urbed. There Is a strong belief , amount- ng to almost a conviction here , that he difficulty .between China and Japan can hardly be avoided. XThe State Department has been .dvised by the US. . Consul General n Havana- that the sentence of lealh passed upon F , O. Dockery , tc ias been commuted to ten years im- irisonment in the Spanish penal olony. In view of all the circum- tauces of the case , it Is considered hat this punishment is a mild one. Henry A. Bowen , of Brooklyn , rrlved to-day for the purpose of in- lucing the heads of the bureau in he navy department to engage an re .dditional force at the Brooklyn 1 tavy yard. He states that there .re a large number of competent aechanics and men of familes who re in needy circumstances , and un- ess they are provided with work at nee their families will suffer. These aen were formerly employed in the Jrootlyn navy yard , .but on account y < f wan t of fund the force was re- uceij , OTTAWA , August 20. Later reports just received here , give an account of a destructive fire at Carp. A number of houses and barns were destroyed by the pre vailing bush fires , and one man , un known , was burned to death. There are also large fires raging in the vi cinity of Brussells , Orilla , Fergus , Tara and Flesherton. .LONDON , August 20. Reports of a serious nature have reached this city to the effect that the British flag bos been insulted openly by Spanish Republicans. It is alleged that a Republican force fired upon the officers of the Biitish ship Fly at Luchana , while the Fly was cruizing in Spanish waters for the protection of British subjects. OTTAWA , August 20. After a vigorous fight lost night , the fires in the vicinity of Roches- terville , were so far mastered as to save the building from fire. The most dangerous section of the fire is across the river , just below Oilman's mills. Rains last night and this morning , did a great deal of good , and the tires are raging less fiercely than yesterday. SARATOGA , August 20. The first race to-day was for purse of $500 , for beaten horses , or for winners at either meeting ; dis tance over three-quarters of a mile four horses started. Reform was the favorite , and won the race by two lengths ; Dublin , second. Time , 3:05J. : This is claimed to be the fas test time ever made. The second race was for a purse of $1,400 , two hundred of which and the entrance money was to be given to the second horse ; entrance , $50 ; distance four miles , three horses started. "Wanderer was the favorite by heavy odds. The race was won by Fellowcrafr , who led frpm the first quarter pole , by from one to four lengths. Time , 7:19J , " beating Lexington's famous race. The third race was a free handi cap steeple chose , for a purse of $850 , distance three miles. Three horses started ; Bullet was the favorite , and won easily ; Vesuvius refused to jump , and ran away. Time , 7:50 : } . WASHINGTON August 20. The Chronicle of this morning contains the following editorial : "Secretary Bristow intends to give the law repealing the moiety system the fairest possible trial.
