Spaniards Again Defeated. General Gomes Wins An? other Important Victory. JACKSONVILLE, FU., May 15 -A cablegram to the Times- Union from Key West, Fla , says : Latest advices in this city state that General Gomez has entered j Camaguey and in the batt?t fought there there the Spanish troops were defeated and that many were killed and captured. Campos returned to Havanan yes- j terday on the steamship Villa Verde from the Central Constancia Sugar plantation Campos has granted the right of way to the Sabanilla and i Morodo Railroad Company to extend ; the road from Songo to Mayo, and j be in readiness to transport troops into the interior. This concession to the Sabanillo and Moroda Company is made to give employment to the j thousands of idle men, Campos fear? ing that the nnemployed may join the revolutionists Campos called all the Spaish offi? cers before him and cited the case of Lieutenant Gallego, stating that the same punishment will be meted out to them in case they are defeated by the unfortunate insurgents This has caused a good deal of discontent j among the officers. On the 13th the case of Manuel Fuentes, the New Yord World corres pondent, was decided, he being not guilty. The prompt action of the United States Department alone saved Fuentes form being garroted, j He has issued a protest and will make claims for heavy damages. The insurgents under the command of Masso, ditched a train loaded with ii'ms and ammunitions for the Spanish troops near Bargas, Guan? tanamo. Three or four killed Masso took ali the arms and ammuni? tion. The insurgents under the commaud of Antonia Maceo, after capturing the town of El Cristo, fired the same. It is reported mat Marcos Garcia, mayor of Santo Spiritu, has been shot, it is supposed by the insur? gents. He was threatened with death by Gomez if he opposed the revolution some time since. INSURGENTS REPULSED. (From the staff correspondent of the United Press.) SANTIAGO DE CUBA, May 15.-A band of insurgents made an attack upon the town of Dos Caminos in this province, to day but they were repulsed and routed by the govern- j ment troops. The rebels fled leav- ! ing a number of killed and wounded ! on the field. The attacking band | set fire to two or three houses which : were destroyed. The War in Cuba. Patriots Gaining Ground. JACKSONVILLE, Fla., May 16.-A cablegram to the Times-triton from Key West, Fla., says : Private ad? vices to this city from Havana state that fears are entertained that the Republican party will casse trouble in Spain, and the belief is general that Martinez Campos will leave for Madrid in June In the event of Campos' returning to Spain, Gen. Polavieja will come to Havana as captain general. News from Camaguey is meagre. There is no doubt of great oppres? sion in that district. Many young men of the best families are leaving daily to join the insurgents. Col. Orisa, reported wounded in the battle at Camazan, was killed, ac? cording to reliable information. The insurgent leader in this battle was Angel Guerra. Bayamo and Manzanillo are be? sieged by the insurgents. The Spanish troops are in a starved condition, and unless relieved soon will be compelled to surrender. On the 1st instant two convoys of provisions, etc., were dispatched into the interior. The one sent overland was captured by the insurgents. It was valued at $7,000. The other ar? rived at its destination. The Ilolguin and Gibara Railroad Company at first refused to give the $100,000 demanded by Maceo, but has at last decided to give the same. Payment is to be made ?3,000 monthly People iu the provice of Pina Del Rio are waiting orders from the in? surgent chiefs to take up arms against the government. Tin's move is expected momentarily A majority of the Spaniards on the island remain neutral, they having been assured that the revolution is not against Spanish people but against Spanish rule Ramon Esquinado Perez, caotain in the Spanish arruy, but a Cuban by birth, when ordered to duty in Ilol? guin, committed suicide rather than fight against his people. The Battle of Jovito. The Government's Official Report of the Engagement. HAVANA, May 10.-The govern? ment has issued an official report of the battle which took place at Jovito, near Guantanamo on May 12. The fighting lasted twelve hours, and re? sulted in a victory for the govern? ment troops The Spanish force bet ! seventeen killed and thirty wounded, j j The kided comprise Co!. Bosch, of [ the Simanacas regimeut and four ! oilier officers, a purgion and eleven ? soldiers The Spanish commander ; claims that the insurgents lost 300 i killed and wounded. The insurgent j force numbered 2,000 men under1 command of the rebel leaders dose Maceo, Perez, Rabi and Cartagena, while th?; government foice wa? only 400 strong The government troops were surprised and surrounded, but j fought desperately and held their i own against the odds of Qve to one; until they were finally reinforced by ? the fot ces from Guantanamo Will You be Convinced. "There is an impression abroad j that a cotton mill cannot make money ? and be a continual success unless it | has a capital of a million dollars and pays its president ?10,000. There is no truth in such an idea, and it might be well for the many small towns and cities throughout the State which are attempting to build mills, but who are likely to fail, to come to Greenville and inspect the : Greenville Cotton Mills which now belongs to Messrs. T. VV Earle and ! W* Touchstone. ? reporter to the Mountaineer was kriven over to the mill by Mr Eatle on Wednesday and | made a thorough inspection of the premises and obtained a few facts in regard to the success that has attend? ed the work. This mill was built about 1889 by Mr. ? li. Latin eau, having at first 1,500 spindles, for the manufacture of cotton yarns ; later 500 more spidle8 were added which nakes a 2,000 spindle mill. Last October two enterprising and pushing young j men bought it and since that time they have been running night and I day. Of course the success of the mill is in a large degree dependent on the men who manage it In this case it was a mot>t happy combina? tion in every way. Mr Touchstone, who was formerly superintendent of Camperdown, is a remaikably ?uc cessful mill man, and has the busi? ness of cotton spinning at his fingers ends. He is a good manager of help, and knows how to get off the most pounds under given conditions. He makes the goods Mr. Earle, who is president, is a shrewd finan? cier, and looks after this end of the business. Then he has the added quality of being one of the best cotton buyers j in this section, and he is his own j buyer. He knowe just what kind of cotton will yield the best profit after ! being manufactured, and he buys ! nothing but that grade. The mill is situated just outside of the city, and one would not suspect what a busy little place it ia. The machinery is of the best and latest pattern. To prove the statement, it \9 only necessary to say that working day and night, 22 hours, with 2,000 spindles, the weekly output of the mill is 21,000 pounds of yarn, rang? ing from 8 to 16. There are 115 names on the pay roll and the week? ly bill is about $500. Connected with the mill are two young men that Mr. Touchstone trained while at Camperdown, and the ability of these contribute in no small degree to the success of the mill. They are Mr. J. J. James and Mr. A. J. Pursley. Every cotton mill is a school, and there are being educated every day young men who are bright and ambitious and will in the future manage the old mills and help to build new ones. These two young men are doing that very work It is indeed a happy condition when the knowledge of the mill's business has reached such a point that nothing but local or native talent is needed. This mill is a good example for other towns to imitate. There is hardly a town of 500 people in the State that cannot build a similar mill without asking for one dollar of out j side capital. There are plenty of men wno will make the right combi ; nation. Don't allow visions of high j salaries and gigantic capitalizations j to blight the propects of your town. ; Put them aside and build small m dis. -Greenville Mountaineer. Agreeably Surprised. "I bad a very severe cold on my lungs i that caused much soreness and gave me coo- I j siderable uneasiness in regard to the result." I j says Mr. T. E. Smith, of Billerica, Mass., j j "A local druggist called my attention to j J Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, and on his ? 1 recommendation I gave the remedy a careful ? I trial.
