( Copyright , IE96 , ly Press Publlahlnit Company. ) HAVANA , Cuba , Jan. 30. ( Now York World Cablegram Special Telegram. ) Gen eral Marln left Havana tcday , Blmply an nouncing by cabin to the queen regent of Spain : "I have gone to the field. " He will personally direct operations nga'ttst dbmez and Maceo. Gomez broke through the "Impregnable wall of men" established between Havana nnd Batabano , avoiding the trap the Span ish thought they had so shrewdly Bet for him , and marched again Into Plnar del Il'o province , where Maceo still Is. The Spanish plan IB now to shut them both securely In Plnar del Rio province , establishing behind them another "Impregnable lino" from-coast to coast. Day and night every effort Is being made to strengthen that barrier. For tifications are being rapidly thrown up in commanding positions and fresh troops are being moved to oil strategic points over the r-jllroad line , which extends along the whole south route , practically within the line ot protecting Intrenchments. Today maiks the beginning of a virtually new campaign under General Marln's direc tion. It is predicted that a decisive battle In the open country Is almost certain to take place in Pfnar del Rio province. From the beginning of this war it has been the desire of the Spanli-h generals to meet Go mez In the open field. GENERAL MAHIN'S FORCES. General Marln left Havana at 8 a. m. with 700 Infantry and sixteen carloads of cavalry. At Rlncon he was met by 1,100 cavalry , which has been stationed there for several days. After a brief stay there ho pro ceeded westward toward Guanajiy , on the line between the province of Havana and Plnar del Rio , and nt the end of railroad communication. The general has with him two guides , who are familiar with PInur del Illo country , and who wcro sent to blm by ono 'of the wealthiest tobacco planters in that district. Ho haa four pieces of artillery and ono rapid fire gun. There are eleven pieces of artillery with General Luquo's command , already In Plnar del Rio province. Genetal Luquo has 300 cavalry , and It Is expected that Infantrymen may bo mounted on the march westward. The Spanish In their campaign hitherto have been embar rassed by lack of miunted troopa Unusual preparations have been made by General Marln for the caio of the wounded. A hospital corps , perfectly equipped , and a chaplain accompany him. It Is thought probably ' that by a quick movement he may 'prevent Gomez and Maceo joining forces , as they are now try ing to do. If such should be the caa ; , the Spanish say , the insurgents will be weak ened to a point where resistance would be futllo in anything approaching actual battle. While General Mar.'n ' is away General Suarez Valdez is to be In command in Ha vana. General Weyler Is duo to arrive within a week. Murln'fi captain gener.il- fchlp will expire when. General Woylcr laii'ds' It is supposed that General Marln will return to Havana for the formalities of transferring the command to his successor , though that Is not necessary , and It would Burprlso no one here If General Mai In should remain In the Held , where he' is to continue to direct operations after Weyler arrives. Five hundred volunteers , recruited from the Havana volunteer regiments , left yes terday for the Held. It Is believed they will guard the railroad lines. ROE013R. MUCH POWDER THROWN AWAY. The first detailed account of a spirited engagement January 22 at La Mida , on the Canto river , whc-ro It runs in a narrow val ley through the mountains , near Bayamo City , Santiago province , has Just reached me. The Spanish forces , commanded by General Monzalra Munoz , consisted of a col umn of Infantry and 200 mounted guerillas and one piece of mounted artillery. The insurgents' force , which outnumbered tlic SpanUh , was composed of bands led by- Salvador , llios , Francisco , Rabl and Carrilo. General Munoz , who Is btatloned at Biy- amo City , learned that a large body ot rebels bus been seen near Mula , evidently Intending to come toward the city. He promptly or dered his troops under arms , the bugle * sounded and a few minutes later the entire command marched out , accompanied by u guide who knew the adjacent country well. toward Mula , about two miles distant. Soon the Spanish Bhliinlshers In advance of the columns spied insurgent scouts on horse- back. The scouts rode within hcar'ng ' dls- tnnce of the Spanish column , then dashed off to the eastward , In a direction exactly op- poilte to Mula , evidently with the , Intention of misleading the Spanish and give their own people a chance to break camp and escape. General Munoz paid no attention to the scouts , but continued at the head of his column on the road toward Mula. After marching about half an hour longer the Spanish guerillas In advance sighted the enemy. They saw that 1'nsurgents ' wcro In considerable numbers and that they were prepared to form In line of battle. Some of the- advance guard rode back hurriedly and repotted to General Munoz , whocon - tinned right a\ong \ toward the enemy. Ten companies of Infantry , with bayonets fixed , followed the Spanish guerillas. The Insurgent cavalry , carbines In hand , were standing motionless , evidently expecting that the Spanish cavalry riding In advance would charge upon them. General Munoz , however , ordered the guerillas to make a feint charge , the Infantry following In close lines behind , uhoutlng "Viva Uspnna. " When within Khort range ot the enemy the first lines of the cavalry suddenly deployed right and left , covering the Insurgents' battle line on either Hank. This movement took the Insurgents' com- mandcr by surprise. A soon as the cloud of dust raised by Iho flying cavalry pawed the ImJiirgents ' * aw before them a strong , Bolld line of Spanish Infantry. Ilut the In- Biirgcntt ) never wavered.

No Booncr had thu wnoho blown away than the mountain - tain artillery was unpacked from thc < mules , mourtcd and dragged up In frcnt of the Span- l li columns , it was soon throning shells Into the very center of the enemy , Still the Insurgents kept their portion , evl- dontly expecting a cavalry attack , which they hoped to wlthitand easily. Goncral Munoz ordered his Infantry to charge. Then the Insurgents opened nre for thu first time , jiouilng volley after volley Into the tipamtii ranks. The cavalry blmuUaneously charged on both Insurgent * flanks. The enemy's square was broken for the first time. The insurgent cavalry loft their position , driving the two ( quads of attacking Spanish gucrlll > u off with drawn swords. General Munoz pushed on till his front HUBS , Eolldly drawn , encountered the insurgent - gent square- , After severe lighting , listing several hours , the rebels retreated toward the woods , and when night came General Munoz'g command went Into camp near Mula. PURSUED TUB E.N'KMY. The oOlclal report says the Spanish only lost one killed and sixteen wounded during the engagement , and the rebel loss Is un- known. At daylight the next mornlne the Spanlth Broke camp and followed In the direction the enemy had taken the previous night. Attc marching six miles the Spanish troops cam to a cross road and saw that the Insurgent : had divided , part taking one road and par the other. While General Mlchlos was con Elderlng which route' to follow a courier nr rived , bringing the first news of Genera Campos' retirement. General Munoz then turned about , returning to Hayamo City.

Forty-seven Spanish soldiers were in trenched there. The Insurgents burned the small huts built about the city for theus of gardeners supplying the city with vegetables otables and after destroying the crop rode away. An Insurgent band rode Into Nueva Paz Saturday. A small detachment of Spanlsl troops and civil guards had established he-id quarters In the village church there. Thl garrison was reinforced later In the day and the Insurgents retreated. HOEDEH. WREATHS FOR THU "WHITE K1XCJ. ' i\trnordlmir > - SCCIIOM "XVItiieMseil Ii 'I'm fill Kill * Suuure. LONDON , Jan. 30.

The latter Is regarded aa.Uic mor probable course by observers hero , as Gome haa been reported as passing Banco and n having proceeded towards Cabanas , along the northern coast. The' Spanish authorities are claiming that If Gomez has'In ' reality set ou for the west and is not merely planning a countermarch back toward Havana province his position wilt soon bo badly compromised But these claims have been made'bcfore. am the fact remains that Gomez Is apparently In a way to succeed In his immediate purpose of forming a Junction with Maceo or ot afford Ing him relief.

NEW ORLEANS , Jan. 30. The republican state nominating convention held its second end day's session today , and at n late hour tonight Is still In pesslon , and very noisy. Kcllopg'y men , who are for Reed , have been losing ground all day , The business men In New Orleans. ' , the sugar planters , when It became evident , last night that the money Kellogg Is alleged to have used would carry the convention for Reed , got together quietly and such presure was brought to bear on behalf of the McKlnley men , under Captain A. T. Wimberly , who has refused to use money in the fight , that a caucus of all the leaders except Kellogg was held , and it wno decided to send two McKlnley delegates nt largo and two Reed men to St. Louis. There Is little doubt but that the decision of the caucus will hold that Henry Dcmas and J. M. Vance will both be McKlnley dele gates and Albert Leonard and Andrew Hare the Reed men. No resolutions .referring to the presidential candidates will be passed by the convention. This will give McKlnley a large majsrlty of the delegates from this state. Four have al ready been elected. Governor Warmoth says two will po from his district , A. T. Wim berly and Richard Sims have an easy fight In the Second district , and bath are enthusiastic McKlnley men. This makes ten of the six teen delegates to be elected who will be for McKlnley. A fight was made In the convention on A. Cage , who Is a candidate for re-election as chairman of the state central committee , nnd who is a McKlnloy man. The excitement rose to such heights that chairs wcro over turned , Chairman Guljard thrust from his place on the platform , delegates knocked down and trampled under foot , and the ut most confusion reigned. The flght ogalnst Cage war. not successful. About midnight the convention settled down to work and the first important move was accompilshrd. The fusion ticket put up by the sugar planters was endorsed , making three conventions which have declared In Its favor. The nomination of presidential delegates was taken up. Kellogs , who has been handling Heed's cause here , was firs ; nominated , and a move was made to eiec him by acclamation , but this failed , and It was , decided to first make all the nominations before taking a vote. 1M.A.TT MHX CIIAIinEII WITH FIIAUD OpitoNltion ANNcrt I lie Huniilillctm Kii- rollniontViiN I'addoil Oiif-Thlril. NEW YORK , Jan. 30. A meeting was held at the Madison Square Music hall to night by the members of the 500 , who are opposed to Thomas C. Platt. The ! meeting was called to order by Edward T. Mitchell and Cornelius N. Bliss wa made permanent chairman. Mr. M.tchel ! | prescntep the re port of the committee of twenty-flve ap pointed "to Investigate the11 alleged frauds n therepublican-enrollment In this city and the validity'ol'tfiV present county organlza- lon ; to take such action In regard to the frauds at the recent primaries and In the enrollment as they deem necorsary , and to report to n mee'tlng to be called hereafter. " The report rearta In part as follows : "The committee have recsived a very encouraging assurance'-ot support and co-operation from republican1) throughout the city. . /'Under the direction of members of the > ar , acting with 'the committee , a number of inspectors charged with fraudulent con duct at the recsnt primaries have been ar rested and held for trial by city magls- ratcs , and their cases are now pending > eforo the grand Jury. Further work In this llr-cctlon Is now under consideration. The committee gives a list ot the assembly dis tricts In which they allege the enrollment 135 been padded to the extent of 25,000 names out of a total of 77,000. " Continuing , tha report says : "Tho general conclusion drawn from the Investigation and from which evidence there is no possible uvenuo of escape , Is that the men In control of the county organization have devised and carried through a deliberate scheme of whole sale fraud. Intended to secure for themselves , vithout regard to the will of the majority of the republican voters , the absolute control of the organization and of the delegations rom this city to the national and state con ventions. The frauds were not sporadic. They were BO general throughout the city , he methods pursued in various parts of the city were so "similar , nnd the work was BO skilfully concentrated at the points where it vould most surely accomplish Its purpose hat the proof of a carefully prearranged design is irresistible- . "It Is also clear , that the greater part of ho fraud practiced by the exponents of those n control of the present party ministry was bo result of the- general demoralization and owerlng of moral standards , resulting from he methods of the official heads of the party , o that many workers who would have pro- erred honest methods were tempted Into ightlng their opponents with their own weapon , " Resolutions were passed favoring a new nrollmont throughout the city. By many his is regarded as the fir t step toward Mparato and Independent organization , Vhen the 'enrollment ID completed , the com- nlttee of 500 will then proceed to take urther action.
