the Insurgents " :ts Pursued by Federal
ForcflS in the Civil War.
New York, Nov. 4 —A dispatch to
The Herald from Havana says: The
rebels in the field are very active. On
Oct. 10 the Spaniards sustained the
most severe loss they have met for
sometime. Oa the borders of Matanzas
province General Molina was defeated
by the insurgents under General Betau
oourt. General Molina was on bis way
to Havana, accompanied by half a
brigade of troops, to participate in Gen¬
eral Blanco's reception. At Asracuate
he heard the rebels were encamped in
the Pnrgatorio hills and broke his march
to attack them. The light was a long
oue and the Spanish loss was tre¬
mendous. He was finally obliged to
retreat.
A report apparently well founded was
current in Havana to tile effect that
Holguin has been attacked ami cap¬
tured by the rebels under General Co
breeo. That it iias been attacked and
75 Spaniards killed is admitted, but the
capture is denied. General Luque,
with heavy reinforcements, lias left Ha¬
vana for Holguin.
In a bock on the the Cuban war, just
issued here. General Weyier writes the
introduction. In one place ho says:
“The system of warfare carried on by
me during the Cuban campaign is not a
new one. The same was pursued by
the Americans of the north when they
fougiit their brethren of the south.”

Madrid, Nov. 4. —At a mooting of
the Spanish cabinet i( was decided to
demand an explanation from General
Weyier of the remarks he made in his
farewell address on leaving Havana l^st
Saturday.
Previous to embarking on board tho
steamer Montserat, which conveyed him
to Spain, Generai Weyier received a
deputation of Autonomists, and in his
address to them he said:
“My release from my post and re¬
sponsibilities did not surprise me.
had expected it from the death of Sonof
Oanovas, not believing that any politi¬
cal leader would be strong enough to
sustain me when the United States and
rebols were together constantly demand¬
ing that Spain should come to a settle¬
ment. 1 count it an honor to be identi¬
fied with tho local Spanish party. But
the policy which I have followed was
not adopted in obedience to any politi¬
cal party, but for what it represented
on behalf of my country. Before I
came I was well aware of the patriotic
conduct of the volunteers; and, since
my arrival, I have often seen it illus¬
trated.
“I have repeatedly advised the Span¬
ish party not to be intiminated, to make
known to tho home government the
outcome in of force. the reforms As which future, have j
been put for tno l
offer my services and shall always hold
myself in readiness to serve tho party
aiming to retain Ouba for Spain.”
Measures will be taken to grant am¬
nesty to the political prisoners belong¬
ing to Porto Rico and the governor
general of the Philippine islands will
be invested with authority to pardon
tho families of insurgents of that colony.
Great. K«<i Men tint Iiering’
Chklsea, Colo., Nov. 4.—Onegas and
Delawares are gathering by the hun¬
dreds on Beaver creek, about 60 miles
east of here, to celebrate their annual
anniversary smoke. About 500 Indians
are already present and hundreds are
arriving daily. Toe honey smoke is an
ancient custom among these two tribes
and has been celebrated annually for 1
the past 25 years. It is a general meet¬
ing for a good time and also to offer up
thanks to the Great Spirit when the
meeting is over, which generally lasts
about two weeks. The Indians give
each other pony blankets and many lit¬
tle trinkets, an assurance of friendship
between the tribes.
