THE IIISTLER OF ROME.
STRICTLY SPANISH
Two Columns ot The Invaders in
a right Fight
TWELVE MEN KILLED
And Q u ite a Numbsr Wound
ed A Panic Stricken P.ck
et Became Stampeded
And caused a disaster
Havana, March 16. An unto
ward military accident that oc
curred Saturday night, grow ing out
of a missunderstanding of the ie
ply to a chalenge, resulting in the
killing of twelve soldiers ami the
wounding of a number of others.
A small band of insurgents had
set fire to the cane and .buildings
on a sugar estate near Marianao,
province of Havana. The suj<»k<-
attracted the attention of two c«d
utnns of Spanish troops, who were
advanced in search of the rebels.
The.column which first a?rived
on the estaie ent reached
as a precaution against any sud
den attack from the insurgents,
who were supposed to be near.
The secund column, consisting of
the Quintiu battaiion, arrived on
.he scene after dark.
As they approached the en
trenched first column they were
hailed by the usual “aterti” from
a picket and responded by calling
out the name of their bataltion
San Quiutin. The picket, confus
ed by the sudden appearence of
the column, misundersiood the re
ply, taking it from the similarity'
of sound *to be Quintia Bauadra,
the name of one of the rebel lead
ers. . 7 .
He at once concluded that the
insurgents were ipoving to attack
the column to which he belonged
aud without further parley, dis
charged his piece and fell back to
the euUenchments, where the re
port of his rifle had caused all the
troops to seize their arms and pre
pare to repel an attack.
The second column had, in the
meantime, continued to advance,
supposing that they had come up
on the rebels for whom they were
looking. They had not gone far be
fore the first column poured a vol
ley into their ranks. The second
column returned the fire aud then
in response to an order, fixed their
bayonets and rushed forward to
take the entrenchment by storm.
As they went over the entrench
ments the first column poured an
other volley into them, and then
when the troops came into close
quarters it was discovered from
the uniforms and flags that a fa
ta! bluudei had been made. It is
reported that the losses on both
sides, in killed and wounded, was
over thirty, but there is a strong
suspicion that they were much
larger.
all the circumstances tended to
the making of the mistake. Besides
the darkness, the smoke from the
burning cane fields prevented the
combatants from recognizing each
other. Thft mistake is greatly de
plored and, generally held to have
been unfavorable, it is prettv cer
tain that the officers in command
of the collums will be court mar
tialed .

find its way in. Fritz would pull
bis trunk under the drift, there
would be a happy snort, and again
the end of the hunk would appear

its way to Fritz’s stomach. A herd
of twenty-nine elephants thenar

about Fntz. helped to
pull him back Inearth with their
trunks.
He didn’t even stagger.

Marietta, Ga. March 16.—Little
Jimmie Johnstone, who was ac
cidentally shot by one of his
companions while out hunting on
Saturday, died Saturday night
about 7 o'clock. He never rallied
from the loss of blood, which
was probably greater than the phy
sicians anticipated not first. It is
possible that if companions had
shought to bind his limbs and stop
the flow of blood he would have
lived, but as D was he bled for
three quarters of an hour and lost
of so much blood resulted in his
death.
His bright manly ways had won
many friends in the city and an
amount of feeling has been

yThe funeral occured this morn
