The insurgents believed they held strong positions, and they undoubtedly occupied the points favorable for defense, ral Ecbsgue, advancing m Artemisa towards Csysjsbo thence into the mountains, the better road, and his ps were the first to engage the y. After sustaining a sharp the troops captured the insur- t positions in the pass at the uth entrance of the mountains. At daylight on Tuesday the troops of General Echagoe were [refnfioroed by the column com manded by General Aguilar, and the combided forces, at the point of the bayonet, captured in suc- cession all the insurgent positions. The enemy defended his works with tenacity) but the Spanish troops succeeded in occupying the heights of El Rubi, the insurgent defence in the vicinity of the mil itary line. It is believed that the great part of the insurgents in the province of Pinar del Rio took part in this engagement. The Spanish troops lost six men killed, and General Echague, six officers of minor rank and fifty- four soldiers were wounded. The insurgents left seven men killed on the field. Their actual loss is i-not 'iknown. General Echague #as shot in the thigh after the actual fighting was over. Daring the engagement quite a shower of bullets fell over General Weyler and his staff, whereupon somebody expressed anxiety as to the safety of the Captain General. who, after embracieg him, asked after bis health. General Echague replied: “I am doing tolerably well under the circumstances.” A numerous band of insurgents entered Gnirre Melena and the vanguard fired upon the town. General Bornal has left here on the coastwise steamer Triton for Pinar del Rio, to take command of General Echague’s brigade, that commander having been wounded. Another engagement with insur gents is soon expected there. Havana, Nov. 12.—Accounts from General Weyley’s field of operations say that the insurgent encampments in the mountains of Rubi and 150 dwellings lately abandoned have been destroyed and the household effects scattered through the woods. An epidemio of fever and small pox, it is reported, prevails in the insurgents’ camp and amongst their families, causing great mor tality as many as five or six mem bers of a family having died from tho epidemic. The a ell known insurgent leader Perico Delgodo is said to have been seriously wounded in the early part of the month, and is re covering at Rubi, having been carried thither by the insurgents. Maceo and ths other insurgent leaders are now in the mountain retreats, and the Spanish columns are continuing their combined movements against them, in pur- Weyler’a plan. first symptoms and treatment is the object of this item. The origin of croup is a common cold. Children who are subject to it take cold very easily and croup is almost sure to follow. The first symptom is hoarseness; this is soon followed by a peculiar rough cough, which is easily recognized and will never be forgotten by one who has heard it. The time to aet is when the child first becomes hoarse. If Cham berlain's cough remedy is freely given all tendency to croup will soon disap pear. Even after the croupy cough has developed it will prevent the at tack. There is no danger in giving this remedy for it contains nothing in jurious. For sale by all druggists.

It is expected that the story is proba bly a revival of the report circu lated in August last, when Spain prepared a memorandum on,Cuba relations with the United States, suggesting that the powers assist Spain in bringing amicable pres sure to bear on the United States. On the occasion indicated, and by the advice of the Ambassador of the Powers, the Spanish Minis ter for Foreign Affairs consulted with the United States minister at Madrid before sending a memo randum. It was the view of Min ister Taylor that the dispatch of such a note directly after President Cleveland’s proclamation calling for observance of the neutrality laws would be calculated to se riously affect the relations between Spain and the United States, and in deference to that expression the the Spanish Minister for Foreign Affairs assured Minister Taylor that the memorandum would be withheld, also stating that no ogense was intended to President Cleveland or to the Government of the United States, and that Spain had only desired to sound the powers with the views of contin* gences which might arise out of the Presidential election. It is now added that the possi bility of war between the United States and Spain is regarded as be ing most remote, and it is pointed out that so far as desiring to force trouble with the United States is concerned, Spain remained per fectly neutral during the Presiden tial election.
