dered his soldiers to open fire as therebels advanced, and fell furiously uponthe troops. Eventually the enemy sur-rounded the Spanish troops with a vast-ly superior force. Major Robels, upomwhom the command of the Spanishtroops devolved, when the lieutenantwas shot down, succeeded in holdinghis position and in repelling the attacksof the rebels. But the Spaniards werecompletely surrounded, and it was nec-essary for a portion of the force to cutits way out in order to communicatewith the base of supply and obtain rein-forcements. Major Garrido, at the headof 00 volunteers, made a brilliant dashinto the insurgents' line3 and forced hisway through the circle of Hfe whichsurrounded the troop3. Shortly afterMajor Garrido's volunteers had piercedthe insurgents' lines another detach-ment of Spanish troops under the com-mand of Captain Bruzon made an op-

The rain has been pour-ing down all night, and it has been thehardest night on the military sincetheir arrival. The largo number of newminers created somo alarm among theold men. Today is likely to be a test

for the opposing forces. The min-ers are talking little to outsiders anddrinking is abstained from. The leadershave advised peace and nonviolation ofthe rights of property. The militaryhas been especially watchful not to ad-

mit any suspicious characters into thelines of the coal company for tho pastfew days. All business is suspendedfrom the strike and some citizens lefthere last evening. The mines aro heav-ily guarded. The output of coal heretoday will be 70 cars.
