New Yoik, December B.—The
'Press this (Wednesday) morning
says:
Inside information of tho recent
batlbjinthe Rubi Hills, in the
Cuban province of Pi na r del Rio,
has just been received in this city.
It throws a diflhrent light on thi.-
fierce engagement, in which sever
al hundred men were killed, from
that giv on of it by the Spanish,
who have been loudly proclaiming
an unquestioned victory for their
i side.
Lieutenant Colonel Gabriel de
Cardenas arrived in this city a
week ago. He was badly wounded
while fighting on the .Cuban side.
He was seen yester lay by a report
er for the Press.
“Published accounts of this bat
tle heretofore,” said the colonel,
“have been incorrect, principally
of they came from
Spanish sources. a This is the news
that I r-ceived in a private letter
today:
“ "On November 26, General
Mayria Rodriguz received word
that General Maximo Gomez was
advancing from Las Villas, in San
ta Clara province, with two divis
ions of 4.000-Hien. General Go
mez ordered General Rodrignez to
pass General Parrado and his ar
my and join the Gomez forces in
Havana Province.
“ ‘This meant a battle of course,
and General Rodriguez at once
divided his army into two brigades.
He was at the h>-ad of the first
brigade and the second, une thou
sand strong, was uudar com nand
of Colonel Pedro Diaz.
“ 'lt was well that he started
imineoia ely, lor General Parrado,
with 7,000 Spanish troops was
even then pursuing Col. Herman
ns Ducasse toward the Rubi hills.
After sever 1 small engagements,
which the Spanish heralded as a
series of bril'iant victories, the
Ducas?e forces g lined a position
that was practically impregnable.
In the rear were the Rubi Hills,
whi'e a morass protected one side.
“ ‘On November 27th the great
battle was fought. When General
Barrado came up with his army
he f und Ducasse awaiting him.
rhe Spanish forces consisted of
5,000 infa utry and 2.000 cavalry
and gnerril'as. They threw them
selves upon the body of Cubans
under Colonel Ducasse and at the
same ni 'incni Gener.il Rodriguiz,
with his brigade, caught up the
Spanish rear and h rce fighting
began.
“ ‘The result of the battle might
have been in doubt bad not Colo
nel Pedro Diaz arrived at this
juncture with the second division
of the Cuban forces. Hemmed in
netween morass and mountain and
attacked by three strong bodies of
Ctibana, when they expected to
meet on’y one. General Pedro too
late saw the pit he had fallen into.
The Spanish artillery was soon st
leuced, and for a time it looked
like a route.
“ -What that meant with the
Cubans at the r het’s Pedro well
knew. He kept his forces together
und held his ground until night.
Then bis men were withdrawn in -
to Havana province, leaving the

FOR DISOIUTION
FIERY SPEECH DELIVEREI
BY LEADER KOSSUTH
F a-
IN AU SI RIAN PAILIAMENI
He Advocates An Independent
Hungary.
Buda Pest, Dec. B.—ln the low
er house of the Hungarian parlia
ment today francis Kossuth, tin
leader or the party advocating n,
ndependent Hungary opened
hostilities with a fisree spoech on
a motion which the house just
before closing yesterday grantee,
him permission to introduce to
day.
The business before the house
was the consideration of tne bill
introduced yesterday by the prem
ier, Baron Banffy, to piplong foi
a year the ausgleich or compact
between Hungary and Austria
the two divisions of dual mon
archy without reference to any
action on the same subject on the
part of the Austrian government.
The bill provides that the present
economic relations between Hun
gary and Austria be prolonged un
changed until December 81, 1898
It contains a provision however
by virtue of which it will lapse if
a new ausgleich is constitutional
ly concluded before that date,
Ou the other band in the even
of a new ausgleich not being
concluded between Austria and
Hungary by or before May 1, 1898,
the bill stipulated that the Hun
garian government shall submit
to parliament bil s providing for a
definite regula ions between the
economic relations between two
sfates which measures will Come
into force at the end of the year
1898.
Francis Kossuth’s Intentions.
Francis Kossu'h’s motion today
was that the Ba nffy will be emt,
not to <he financial comtni tee,
which would be the ordinary of
the house. The proposal was in
the highest degree obstructive. It
is believed to be his intention ob
street the bill if possible until
the end of the present year, when
the existing treaty or ausg'eich
expirse. Hie expedient calculated
to prolong discussion indefinitely,
had not been resorted to in the
Hungarian parliament for twenty
ye>ai s.
In the course of his speech was
eloquent and impassioned he said.
“Flu present opportunity may
not return. Our king’s is a cm
stitulional king, and he lay aside
his individual opinions if he can
make Hungary great and happy,
The iudependencs of Hungary
may now be assured for all time.”
