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-

Another volley was fired , but still the In-

Men dropped right < uul left , but their places
were quickly taken by others. 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

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

turned about , returning to Hayamo City.

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.

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.
