‘ HARD FOUGHT AND BLOODY EN-
GAGEMENTS. ”
Madrid, Juno 24.—The minis
ter for war, Gen. Correa, it is
announced, has received an offi
cial dispatch from Santiago de
Cuba announcing that “the
Americans’ first attack on Puen
t i Berraco has been repulsed af
ter a hard fought and bloody en
gagement.”
i f Punta Berraco is situated a
sh >rt distance from Baiquiri,
where the United States troops
landed yesterday. It is nearer
the coast and therefore more
< ompietely under the guns of the
\merican Meet, from which it
can be judged that it is highly
improbable that the army has
b en repulsed, as announced in
Madrid )
