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.

"I bad a very severe cold on my lungs
i that caused much soreness and gave me coo- I
