tfAKCH AND RKATKN IN THE FIELD
GEN. MACBO.
A Private Letter from the President of the Re
public of Cuba. Communicated to The Hun.]
Caw aocky, March 33, 1877.
Mu Dear Friends:
Martinez Campos Ims strained ever;
nerve to suppress the revolution in the
Villas; but, so far, be bus been able only
to surprise a few families and capture de
fenceless people. In return, bis columns
are incessantly harrassed; and are suffer
ing a considerable number of rasultks,
either by the bullets of our ritlemen or
from the effect of climate and disease. It
is perfectly true that our own troops have
been necessarily divided up into small
parties to enable them to attend to tbe
different commands of the enemy, which
move In all directions; but this does not
prevent them from remaining as ofleu as
it is necessary, and engaging in closely
contested actions, in which the Spaniards
have been invariably defeated.
In Camaguey they have in no wise va
ried their system or operations, which are
confined to sending convoys toGuaimaro.
San Geronimo Las Yeguas, <fcc., under
heavy escorts, and to occasional inva
sions of oor territory, which they always
pay for dearly in killed and wounded.
In the Eastern Department they have
been somewhat more active, penetrating
with heavy bodies of troops into our cul
tivated zoues where all they have been
able to do has been to burn a few ham
lets and destroy a few cultivated patches
—they who stigmatize us as bands and in
cendiaries. During these operations they
have been constantly harrassed by our
guerrilla troops, who have Inflicted con
siderable losses upon them.
Meanwhile Brig.-Gen. Maceo, in obedi
ence to tbe orders of the Government, has
penetrated into tbe jurisdictions ol Sagua
de Taoamo, Baracoa, and Guantanamo.
He has captured forts, takeu possession of
rich zones and villages, entered tbe city
of Baracoa, in bis retreat routed within
sight of that city a heavy column of the
enemy, and lastly he traversed the valley
of Gaantanamo very close up to the city
of that name, and detatched from his main
body guerrilla parties to burn tbe cain fluid
of the sugar estate. Iu course of these op
erations, which lasted more titan two
monllts, be captured over two hundred
rifles, with a corresponding quanity of
ammunition, over four hundred horses,
and such an enormous booty of clothing
and provisions that he was forced to des
troy a portion of it for want of beast of
burden on which to transport the whole.
In addition he killed over erne hundred
Spaniards, whoso dead bodies were seen.
Our troops suffered very few casualties,
although we have to lament n very grie
vous loss in the death of Col. Emilie
Nogueras, a model of courage, honor, and
discipline.
It is more titan probable that when the
campaign ends with the endings of the
dry season, Martinez Campos will not
have made a single step in his plan of
pacification. He will be obliged to break
bis sword, as he said he would do when
he pul himself at the head of the army,
and he will have to return to Spain with
all the laurels which he won in Catalonia
turned Into dust and ashes. * * *

An exciting scene was witnessed at Gil
more’s Garden, in New York, one day
last week. A large elephant, named
Borsen, which arrived from Liverpool
for the menagerie, was assigned to a place
where three olher elephants were chained,
and being unaccustomed to stand other
wise than alone, he became very belli
gerent. He walked in front of his com
panions as far as his chain would permit,
struck them on their heads with his trunk,
and 6eemed determined that they should
acknowledge his superiority. Mr. Hate,
thekeeperof Borsen, gave him blows with
a stout stick, and, aided by several other
men, watched the beast throughout the
night. Borsen entertained a consequent
grudge against the keeper, and, as the
latter, about 7 o’clock in the morning, was
giving him water, bit him a blow with
his trunk on the side that knocked hint
twenty feet away. Hale ran alßorson with
his, stick, but was seized and thrown over
the railing. On reluruiug to the charge
he was again seized, and this lime the
beast was on the point of plunging his
tusks info him, when a Mr. Charles McLain
went to his rescue, aud dragged him out
of reach. Borsen then became lurious.
He broke bis chain, and started through
the premises. He tore down the wooden
railing as if it were a thread, and went
to the lion’s cage, which he knocked over.
Then there were roars from nil the beasts,
including the seals and sea lions. Over
twenty men fled, but soon rallied, and un
der the leadership of Messrs, McLain
and McDonald, prodded the elephant
with pitchforks, and tore his ears with
hooks until he was secured' This was
done by first lassoing one ol his legs as he
stepped, and then twining the rope around
his olher legs, which caused him to fail
heavily. Then, being helpless, his fbre
and hind legs and tusks were chained. In
this condition, after tremendous beatings,
he was allowed to rise, and was led to oue
of the posts of the garden, to which he
was attached. His ears were badly lace
rated, and blood streamed from wounds
on his sides. It took six hours to subdue
him, and men were atrerwards occupied
for hours washing away the constant flow
of blood. Mr. Hale was badly, but not
dangerously, hurt. Charles Kivers had a
very narrow escape, for the elephant at
onetime held him with his trunk, and
was on the point of driving his task into
him, when a violent blow ot a clud caused
the trunk to loosen. — World.
To All, Particularly Invalid*,
spring Is a trying seaaon. Indications of
sickness Bhould at once be attended to.
Fatal diseases may becaused by allowing
the bowels to become constipated and the
system to remain In a disordered condi
tion, until the disorder has time to devel
op Itself. An ounce of prevention is worth
a pound of cure, is an old and truthful
saying. Therefore, wo advise all who are
troubled with the complaints now very
prevalent—headache, Indigestion, disor
dered liver, want of appetite, nausea, or
feverish skin, to take, without delay,
Schenck’s Mandrake Fills. We know of
no remedy so harmless and decisive in its
action. It at once strikes at the root of
the disease and produces a healthy tone
to the system. People never need suffer
from any disease arising from a disor
dered condition of the liver if they would
take this excellent medicine wnen they
feel the first indications of the 'malady.
Families leaving home for the summer
mouths should lake three or four boxes of
these pills with them. They have an
almost instantaneous effect. They will
relieve the patient of headache in one or
two hours, and will rapidly cleanse the
liver of surrounding bile, and will effect
ually prevent a bilious sttack. They are
sold by all druggists. myl eodltn
Alabama State money is now selling
at 95J cents, in Montomery, and buy
ing at 94J cents. It is firm at these
figures and scarce.
A Card.
To all who are suffering from the er
rors and Indiscretions of youth, nervous
weakness, Ssrly decay, loss of manhood,
Ac., I will send s reoelpe that will cure
you, FREE OF CHARGE. This great
remedy was discovered by a missionary
in South Aroeriea. Send a self-addressed
