SPANIARDS IN RETREAT. Cuban Patriots Press on to Havana. The Spaniards Routed With Heavy Loss at Colon—An Uprising of the Entire Cuban People. HAVANA, Jan. 4.—A derperate battle was fought near Colon to-day. The Spanish were routed and suffered heavy loss. The insurgents gained a position commanding the entrance to Havana overland, and also captured the Spanish artillery. General Oliver was killed and Campos' son was seriously wounded. Intense excitement prevailed in this city last night. Wild rumors emanating from the Palace were circulated, but the Government officials denied that anything unusual had happened. Strict orders had come from Madrid to suppress all unfavorable reports, and as a consequence no messages, even to the Madrid papers, were allowed to go out. Unless all indications are misleading the end of the Cuban insurrection is at hand, and the result, it would seem, must be in favor of the insurgents. This fact, so frequently denied in official circles during the past two weeks, is now generally admitted, although all sorts of lame explanations of the triumphant advance of the Cubans are put forth in the hope of calming public excitement. Advance bodies of the Cubans were at Tapate, eighteen miles from Guanabaco, practically a suburb of the city, last night, and it is said that Cuban scouts have been sighted to-day from the lines defending Havana. Step by step General Campos has been driven back before the advance of the victorious army, until here preparations are being completed on both sides for the final and decisive struggle. In effect the whole island outside of the city of Havana is now in the hands of the insurgents. They have not annihilated the Spanish forces, nor have they routed the whole army in any single pitched battle. Yet the situation is completely in their hands, and so completely have they outgeneraled the Spanish that, to all appearance, Martinez Campos' army might as well be in Spain for any check it puts upon the movements of Gomez's army. The latter's progress has been accompanied by continued accessions to his forces of volunteers, and he has captured enough horses, rifles and artillery to add immensely to the effective into Matanzas. It is known Gomez has directed these movements. A battle was fought December 15th be tween 1,600 Spaniards under Colonel Arrizon, and 400 Cubans, led by Maximo Gomez. The Spaniards were taken by surprise and were in marching order. General Gomez led his men in a machete charge. The Spaniards were thrown into great confusion and were driven back. The Cubans followed them and the disastrous rout lasted over an hour. Panic seized the entire Spanish column, and when the contest was over there were 300 dead and wounded Spanish soldiers on the field. In their hurry to escape they left behind them a number of pack mules, loaded with 28,000 cartridges, which the Cubans captured. Adherents of the insurgent cause here assert that the insurgent infantry and artillery will follow the cavalry westward in due course of time, and that Gomez and Maceo have simply been collecting the necessary supplies of men and ammunition preparatory to a final movement upon Havana. Indeed, there are rumors here that the insurgents have been awaiting supplies and ammunition, which should now be within their reach, and that they will be "on to Havana" within a few days. SANTIAGO DE CUBA, (via Key West, Fla.), Jan. 3.—Great alarm prevails on account of the latest measure taken by Lieuten-Gen. Pando. The towns and villages of Palma, Sariano, San Luis Dos Caminos, Songo, Cristo, Das Bocas and San Vicente, all on the American railroad line, have been left inhabited only by women, children and a few Spaniards. All the Cuban men of the places have been arrested and lodged in the jail of this city. On the 13th ult., Tamal, the only village that escaped the fire in the Baracoa district, was taken and burned by Leader Ruen and his party. At the beginning of the attack the Spanish colonel, Tamora, with 500 men appeared with the object of defending the place and its forts. The fight lasted two hours, after which time the Spaniards retreated to Baracoa, losing nineteen soldiers killed, and fifty wounded. The rebels had three killed and eleven wounded, and captured from the troops 20,000 cartridges, and thirty guns that were in the fortress. More than 100 men, useful for the war, joined Ruen's party, forty of them volunteers, with arms and ammunition. The column of General Canollas had so many wounded in the battle of Ramon de Las Sagua on the 12th ult., that, owing to the difficulty of carrying them, on the 17th they had not reached Guantanamo. It was a complete defeat for the Spaniards. HAVANA, Jan. 4.—A letter has been received here giving an account of the recent fighting around Colon and of the rough manner in which the Spaniards were handled. Some of the Spanish commands were nearly cut to pieces. One brigade composed of 2,000 men was practically destroyed. This brigade early in the engagement became detached from Campos' main army and tried to make its way to Cienfuegos. The guides proved treacherous and led the Spaniards through a country swarming with insurgents. been urgently requested from Spain, and some of them have already started in order to take part in the defense of Havana. It is announced that Felipe Rodriguez, insurgent leader, has been killed in battle. DIAMOND DIGGINGS PRECAUTIONS AGAINST THEFT SOUTH AFRICAN MINES. But In spite of All This Stealing Still Continues—the Decline of the Town of Kirkley—Population Has Flown to Gold Fields About Johannesburg. "The South African diamond mines are worked almost entirely by mine laborers—the Kaffire, Gulus, Hottenford and the rest," said a diamond merchant. "These receive good wages about six per month, and are hired for a term three months. During this period they are confined in compounds located at the edge of the mines. The compound consists of rows of buildings or corrugated iron, forming a hollow square, surrounded by a high board fence and covered several acres of ground. Within this area are stores, a hospital, boarding house and other conveniences. Wood and water are furnished free, but no alcohol liquors are allowed. During their ten days of service the natives are not allowed have any communication with the outside world and are under a system close personal surveillance in order prevent the theft of diamonds. When they come up from the mine shaft they are carefully searched, and many genious methods are adopted to reduce the loss from this source to a minimum." "Notwithstanding all that is done however, the theft of diamonds continues. It is estimated that from 20 per cent of the diamonds for sale are stolen every year. In order to prevent this a very stringent law was passed providing that all rough diamonds should be registered with the detective bureau of the government as soon they were found, and that every who sold a diamond must give with a certificate of registry." In effect the whole island outside of the city of Havana is now in the hands of the insurgents. They have not annihilated the Spanish forces, nor have they routed the whole army in any single pitched battle. Yet the situation is completely in their hands, and so completely have they outgeneraled the Spanish that, to all appearance, Martínez Campos' army might as well be in Spain for any check it puts upon the movements of Gomez's army. The latter's progress has been accompanied by continued accessions to his forces of volunteers, and he has captured enough horses, rifles and artillery to add immensely to the effective strength of his men. He has practically carried his base of operations with him, and has usually countermarched over a wholly different route from that of his advance, apparently counting with confidence upon living upon the country as he went through. There is little doubt really felt here that he will get as much or more sympathy in Pinar del Rio than he did in Santa Clara and Matanzas, and the general fear here is now that, after sweeping over Pinar del Rio, he will come upon Havana from the west, and cooperate in an attack with the force of the insurgents which have been east of Havana for several days past. The advance of Gomez beyond Batabano has cut the telegraph and cable communication with the eastern part of the island, upon which Campos principally relied for directing his forces in Santiago de Cuba, Puerto Principe and Santa Clara. The insurgents are within fifteen miles of Havana. Gomez has 22,000 men. The insurgents burned San Felipe, Duran, Meleno del Sur and Guarra Friday night. These places are twenty miles from Havana. Gen. Campos has issued a manifesto to his officers, urging a strict obedience to his orders and threatening those disobedient with dishonorable return to Spain within forty-eight hours. HAVANA, Jan. 3.—In view of the fine work and rapid progress of the insurgent cavalry, General Campos has ordered the Spanish officials in all the disturbed districts to seize all the horses they can lay hands on, in order to prevent them from falling into the hands of the enemy. However it is believed that the Cubans are already as well mounted and supplied with horses as they need be. The damage being done by the Cubans is terrible. They have burned the best part of the town of Jaguey and the cane fields of Perla, Rosario and Australia, and the plantations of Vina, Mendez, Geray, Escalant and Haza have been destroyed. The Cuban forces have burned many houses in the Cardenas district of the province of Matanzas, and have set fire to and destroyed many cane fields in the Union de Rayes, Buena Vista, Janguey Grande and Macourijes districts. The village of La Yagua, whose inhabitants did not receive the insurgents as well at the latter would have liked, has been blotted out by fire. The government officials insist that the insurgents are robbing the poorest inhabitants of everything they can lay their hands on, even stooping to take their watches and what little money they may find in their pockets. The news that the insurgents are still on the borders of the province of Havana has increased the feeling of nervousness which has prevailed here from the time they entered the province of Matanzas, and no explanations which the authorities can furnish seem able to dispel the popular impression that there has been no real check of the insurgent advances, and that all the efforts of the Spanish troops to drive them out of Matanzas have proven fruitless. Every man who could be spared from the regular army and voluntary forces has been sent to the front. This does not seem to have changed the situation, and the military authorities continue working night and day in their efforts to place Havana in the best possible position to resist a siege. Mutterings from Spaniards, who are supposed to be well informed in regard to what is occurring, indicate that the situation is a critical one for the Spanish Government. In the cafes and other public places the serious and grave menses of the Spaniards is a noticeable feature. Their long faces and their whisperings show that all is not well with them. They will not, however, even acknowledge a fact that is plain to everybody. Martinez Campos' winter campaign, from which he hoped so much, has utterly failed. Even if things with him and his army have not gone so bad as seems to be the case, there is no doubt now that this year there will be no sugar crop, and this means no revenue for the Spanish treasury, Kenan a party, forty of its constituents, war arms and ammunition. The column of General Canollas had so many wounded in the battle of Ramón de Las Sagua on the 12th ultit that, owing to the difficulty of carrying them, on the 17th they had not reached Guantanamo. It was a complete defeat for the Spaniards. HAVANA, Jan. 4.—A letter has been received here giving an account of the recent fighting around Colon and of the rough manner in which the Spaniards were handled. Some of the Spanish commands were nearly cut to pieces. One brigade composed of 2,000 men was practically destroyed. This brigade early in the engagement became detached from Campos' main army and tried to make its way to Cienfuegos. The guides proved treacherous and led the Spaniards through a country swarming with insugents. From every point of vantage the insurgents poured in a withering fire on the Spaniards, and soon all semblance of discipline was lost. The Spaniards' retreat became a rout, each man seeking shelter from the bullets of the concealed foose. After four days of incredible suffering, the remnants of the brigade reached Santo Domingo, on the road to Cienfuegos. Of the 2,000 soldiers which began the retreat, 1,100 were missing. More than half the officers of the command were missing. Many soldiers and officers perished by insurgent bullets, but larger number had died from exhaustion. For three days the troops were without food, and all the houses belonging to the command were killed and eaten. So famished were the men that they ate the flesh raw, lapped the blood and fought for the offal of the horse. Those who reached Santo Domingo were in a pitiful condition. Their guns had been thrown away, their feet were bare and blistered, and many had only a strip of cloth about 'the loina. Many of the survivors awear they will never again go to the front. The letter concludes by describing the streams of wounded Spaniards pouring into the hospitals at Matanzas, Gardenas, Havana and other points since the recent fighting. The excitement in this city is almost beyond description. For the first time the blind supporters of Spanish rule in the island realize that it is seriously threatened by the revolution. The shock has been the most severe, as it was expected by those who have faith in the military abilities of Martinez Campos that the moment had arrived when the Cuban forces, if not entirely usured, should meet with such a sudden check as to demoralize, scatter and send them back flying to Camaguey. Instead of that anticipated result of General Martinez Campos' plans, it is he and his whole army who are flying before the victorious enemy whose progress seems to find no opposition and no obstacle. It is impossible to ascertain how many times and to what extent the Spaniards have been defeated. The Government has so far succeeded in suppressing the news which must have reached Havana. It is said that the mail from the immediata vicinity of the field of operations has been withheld, and if any letters have been received by private courier those receiving them are careful not to make the contents public in order to avoid suspicion respecting their connection with the rebels. One thing, however, is plain. That is, that Martinez Campos' plans have been shattered and that they have been compelled to beat a hasty retreat before the advancing enemy. Mutterings from Spaniards, who are supposed to be well informed in regard to what is occurring, indicate that the situation is a critical one for the Spanish Government. In the cafes and other public places the serious and grave menses of the Spaniards is a noticeable feature. Their long faces and their whisperings show that all is not well with them.

Every man who could be spared from the regular army and voluntary forces has been sent to the front. This does not seem to have changed the situation, and the military authorities continue working night and day in their efforts to place Havana in the best possible position to resist a siege. The sentiment of the population here, as already noted, is gradually undergoing a change favorable to the insurgent cause, and nobody would be astonished to find that it has taken a more decided form than passive sympathy. The police are carefully watching the quarters inhabited by people supposed to be in sympathy with the insurgents, but this has not prevented numbers of young men from escaping from the city and making their way to the insurgent camps. In addition to the trouble threatened from the direction of the province of Matanzas, it is feared there will be more trouble from the direction of the province of Pinar del Rio, on the other side of Havana. Although all news on this side is carefully guarded, it is known that the insurgents in that part of the country are rapidly increasing in number and daring, and nobody would be astonished to hear that an insurgent force will advance upon Havana from that point as soon as the main body of the insurgents under Gomez and Maco is near enough to Havana to warrant such a movement. The insurgents are now in large force in the province of Havana and spread over a wide space, their rear guard stretching back to Matanzas province, while their vanguard is at Agua Colo, a town of some importance on the railroad between Matanzas and Havana thirty miles from this city. Apparently the fall force of insurgents is engaged in this renewed incursion toward Havana. But they maintain the same scattered formation, divided into columns, which proved so effective in carrying them into the immediate neighborhood of Matanzas. The different columns apparently retained the intuitive faculty of knowing the whereabouts and needs of each other and thus being able to co-operate with one another. Early in the day the authorities apparently had hopes of preventing the entrance of the insurgents into Havana province when it became known that they were gathering in force on the borders, and two battalions of troops were stationed at Las Palos to oppose their advance into the rich valley of Guinaz district, which is studded over with some of the most valuable cane fields in the island. This force seems to have failed utterly to prevent the insurgents from passing them and reaching Agua Colo, which is however well to the northward of the Guinaz district. Gomez intends to extend his incursions into the western province of Pinar del Rio, and the situation is considered exceedingly grave, in view of the great activity that has been manifested by local bands of insurgents in Pinar del Rio ever since Gomez advanced Mutterings from Spaniards, who are supposed to be well informed in regard to what is occurring, indicate that the situation is a critical one for the Spanish Government. In the cafes and other public places the serious and grave miens of the Spaniards is a noticeable feature. Their long faces and their whisperings show that all is not well with them. They will not, however, even acknowledge a fact that is plain to everybody. Martinez Campos’ winter campaign, from which he hoped so much, has utterly failed. Even if things with him and his army have not gone so bad as seems to be the case, there is no doubt now that this year there will be no sugar crop, and this means no revenue for the Spanish treasure, which is already some $7,000,000 behind its obligations. A bird’s eye view of the once luxuriously productive province of Matanzas now would show a sorry sight. Black, barren fields and charred remnants of plantation buildings are everywhere. The threat that if any planters attempt to grind cane their places will be destroyed by the rebel torch is well understood in this province and few dare act defiantly. The owners are powerless. A planter named Mareunis of Apeztegnia, who is a part owner of a large property in Central Constancia, belonging to an American company, not long ago made up his mind, despite the rebels’ threat, to try to make all he could of what was left. He mourns already the destruction of eighteen of his colonies. Four forts have been garrisoned since. Mareunis will arm and maintain 400 men in them in order to keep the insurgents off Constancia. The patriots hate him because he is the acknowledged leader of the Conservative party. They will not fail to give his army a chance to get a battle. In many parts of Matanzas the most stringent precautions are being taken against spies and rebels. Nobody is allowed to ride on horseback after 6 o’clock. This must incur hardships on the owners of small lots in the towns. The authorities compel them to build stone walls around their properties and to cut away all the lower branches of the trees, so that no cover for lurking insurgents shall be possible. A pretty good fight took place yesterday at Calimoto between a battalion of General Navarre’s army and some of Gomez’s men. At first the insurgents charged the Spanish tables were turned after an hours’ battle, when the Spanish charged the insurgents. At a critical juncture General Jurk Valdez came up with a fresh detachment of troops and saved the day for the Spaniards. The insurgents left only two dead on the field, after a three hour’ battle, but the loss was individually greater, as the Spanish admit on their side eighteen killed and over sixty wounded. Reports have come in to effect that the insurgents are gathering around Gardena. Precautions against an attack have been made by General Campos. It is impossible from the present movements of the insurgent army to determine what seems to be the future plan of Gomez. He orders a rest one day, a march to the south or east, or west or north on other days—in any direction where the troops are scarce or where the sugar cane needs burning. Additional reinforcements of troops have Then prospectors poured into Kimberley and the Cape, coming push cart, wagon, horseback or on one In a year there were 10,000 persons in district.

Work Easily Prosecuted In The Tumult of a Thunderstorm. “Speaking of cinches,” said the retired burglar, “the easiest, softest smoothest snap I ever struck was in a house in a small town in Rhode Island. There was a thunderstorm coming up as I went along toward this house, and just as I got there it began to sprinkle. By the time I'd got inside it was coming down pretty hard, and I was glad to be under shelter, for I hadn’t brought any umbrella with me. I hadn’t had any supporter either, and when I got into the dining room I thought I'd get something to eat. The sideboard was locked and the key carried up stairs, but a little jimmy opened the door as easy as a knife would open a pie. I set out a little snack on the table and sat down and ate it comfortably, with the rain pouring down outside. If there’s anything I like, it's to hear a storm a raging outside when you're settled down all smug and comfortable within. “But here was something I hadn't counted on. The thunder was roaring and plunging like a dozen earthquakes busting down through the sky, and it kept the house in a tremble all the time. I knew nobody could sleep in that thunder. They'd be sure to be all awake, but here I was, and I hated to lose a night, and after I'd waited a little and Best Meats the Market Affords Always on Hand.

Over in one corner of this room, beyond a bed, I saw a woman standing in front of an open closet door. Two children hopped out of the bed, and the mother pushed them into the closet, and then crowded in herself and pulled the door shut tight. It was all very simple. Husband away, no help; two children sleeping in another room, woke up by thunder, come into their mother's room, all scared; mother puts children in closet and gets in herself, as lots of folks do in thunderstorms. And then I walk over and turn the key in the lock, and there you are. No danger of their coming out till the storm is over anyway, but just as well to be sure about it, and then I just quietly go through the house. It isn't big, and it doesn't take long, and I come back before the storm is over and unlock the closet door again and skip, and that's all there is to it."—New York Sun. One of the ambitions of Mme.

It was a creation of brown satin, chiffon and cream lace.—Paris Letter.
