KILLING MANY FIGHTERS. Cubaus Said to Have Fought Bravely. The following news from Guantanamo Bay under date of Tuesday night, has been receiv ed : The United States marines, under Lieutenant Robert W. Huntington, adopted their first aggressive movement against the Spanish gueirillas today and completely routed the enemy. The force of marines was un der Capt. Elliott, and the co-cp erating Cubans were under Col. Laborda. The combined forces razed a Spanish camp about five miles from the American posi tion, destroying the only well in the vicinity and killing about 40 Spaniards. One American ma rine was slightly wounded Two Cubans were killed and four wounded. It is impossible to estimate the number of Spaniards engaged, owing to their guerrilla methods of fighting, but it is believed there were at least four hundred. The marines behaved splendid ly, their marksmanship being excellent under the severe fire of the enemy. The captured camp lies about five miles southeast of the rifle pits of the marines, and was an important base for the enemy, as it contained the only well within six or seven miles. Lieutenant Col. Huntington decided on the attact early iu the day, at about 8 o’clock the force started across the mountains. The march up and down the steep hil 1 - sides, under the glairing tropical sun. was a severe test of endur ance for the marines, and before tiebbttle ground was reached twenty-two men had received med ical attention. All were alle, however, to reach the position be* fore the fighting cease. The Marines wero compelled to march in single file, following the mountain trail, Meairwuile the Cubans darted backward and for ward, to right and left on the scout. It was neon when from a hill top, the Americans caught sight of the Spanish camp lying on a ridge below them. It con sisted of one large house, the officers’ quarte.s, surrounded by numerous shacks and houses, all clustering about the precious well. The Americans succeeded in getting within 200 yards of the Spaniards before being dis covered. A spirited engage ment ensued with the Americans steadily advancing. Finally as the allies were preparing to make a charge the Spaniards were discovered to be fleeing in small parties across an open space to the woods 100 yards As they crossed this open zone fleeing for their lives and running zig-zag to distract the aim of the Americans, many of them were seen to fall. The Victory was complete and cost the victors t.ie lives of two Cu bans and four wounded. The victory put the command in high spirits. black Cubao ROME GEORGIA. THURSDAY EVENING. JUNE 16. 1898. THE REBELS WIN * .»■! . ■— „ ■ ... . .1 1111 | Io the San Dominican Rebel lion in Hayti. j PRESIDENT HnUREAUX Is Said to Have Fled From His Stronghold. Port-au-Prince, Hayti, June 16.—The San Dominican rebels, led by Lien. Jiminez and Senor Moral es, who, at the outbreak of the revolution, were classed by President Ulyssess Heureau as bandits, virtually have won their fight. This became knov. n here lasi night, when the Dominican gunboat Independencia steamed into port, with Commodore Jan sen on the quarterdeck. The warship was full of soldiers who are yet loyal to the government. They reported the greatest ex citemeut in all parts of the coun try, and that Monte Christi is ablaze for the revolutionists. It is known that President Hen reaux has had to fly from hi? capitol, and, it is said, he is on bond the Independencia. Commodore Jansen will not admit this; neither will he deny it. I have it from several on board, who claim to have seen the President embark before dawn yesterday. I tried to get on board the warship, but was stopped by soldiers, who barred the gang plank with sword and bayonets No one is allowed to approach the ship, which will probably sail during the night. It is ex pected that Heureaux will find an asylum in France. From members of the crew I learn that Gen. Jiminez has been sent for, and will shortly present himself at Inagua, and that he will take charge of government al affairs. A little more than a fortnight ago the President caused his War Minister am the governor of Macoris Province to be shot for conspiracy. Gen. Castillo, the War Minis ter, was appointed by the presi dent, and had been his friend. The re election of Houreaux to the Presidency led Castillo an' 1 Gen. Estay, the governor of Macoris, to embark in a politi cal enterprise of their own. From the shooting of Castillo and Gen. Estay the revolution grew until Heureaux has been overthrown. riors waved their machetes an I how’ed curses at the Spanish iu savage fashion. Their firing had been wild throughout, but they •all displayed the utmost con tempt for the Spanish bullets, apparently being without fear.
