Nothing happening In this vicinity re cently has taken the American officers and troops so completely by surprise as this story of the battle between the Cu bans nnd the Spaniards. It is not known whether General Garcia was aware of the number of the enemy he was attacking. At bast five thousand Spaniards were In the body, according to the report, and they drove Garcias men Into full retreat a few hours after the battle was begun. His intention. When the Cuban general withdrew his troops to the mountulns he resolved to move on to Holquln. If the Americans would not ellow them to wreak ven geance on the Spaniards In Santlngo, the Cuba.na proposed to storm some other important place. It was with this object that General Garcia withdrew his troops from the American lines, and refused to longer ad ns nil ally of General Shatter. He decided to can tuie Holquln if possible and there to set up an insurgent governmiflit, mak h g that place the Cuban headquarters for the Eastern Department. In Good Faith. The Spnr.iords had been gathered fi, :n the fortified towns In the vicinity and were proceed Dig <° Santiago under t;,. terms of the surrender. They were seeking to carry out In good faith the agreement made i*.ith Genera! fibs'ter. but were not locking •>' a fight and were caught off their guard. Senator Tillman Here. Hon. B. It.
