Engagement at Altagracia—Determined Re- sistance of the Rebels—A Spanish Colonel and Captain Killed=San Miguel Burned Miscellaneous News. Havana, May 11, 1869. The Diario to-day publishes a meagre report of an engagement which took place between the Spanish troops, under the command of General Lesca, and the Cuban insurgents, at Altagracia. The report says the rebels offered a more determined resistance than in any previous battle, and acknowledges that the Spaniards lost a colonel and captain and six privates killed and thirty wounded. It claims that the rebel loss was heavy, but does not give the numbers. ‘ The insurgents have burned the village of San Miguel, near Nuevitas. Puerto Principe is reported to be plentifully sup- plied with provisions. Itis expected that the Prensa of this city will soon suspend publication and probably withdraw en- tirely from the fleld of journalism. ‘The steamer Coiumbia arrived at noon to-day from New York, with Mr. Plumb, the new Consul General of the United States for Havana, as a passenger.

Another British Criticism on Senator Sum- ners Speech. Lonpon, May 11, 1869, ‘The Morning Standard (conservative organ) to-day bas a leading article on the Alabama question and the speech of Senator Sumner in the United States Senate in opposition to that measure. The writer reviews the reiative positions of the United States and Great Britain, and asserts that the raids and other outrages perpetrated by American Fenians in Canada during the past few years more than over- balance the depredations committed by the Alabama on American commerce. The government of Great Britain, in consenting to submit the mutual interna- tlofial grievances to arbitration, did more than could be fairly demanded, and to yield further would be an act of cowardice and irreparable degradation.

He died on Monday night of measies, site Professor was 4 wonderful man tn bis business. He subdued the most vicious horses as if by mamic.

The lessons he taught in his brief sojourn here wil! not bo otten. Mr. Lovell has matched his bay gelding Young Commodore, &@ son of Mr. Turnbull's staluon Com- modore Vanderbilt, against Jonn Chambers’ bay gelding Twist. The match 1s for $1,000, and the con- ditions are that Chambers has to drive his own horse to wagon, Young Commodore going in harness, The race is mile heats, best three in five, and will come off at an early day. ‘There are some wonderful stories current about extraordinary time being made in private within a few days by George Palmer and Mountain Boy. ‘These stories have a tendency to mislead the public and they should be listened to with a large degree of allowance for exaggeration. Horses vhat make unprecedented time in private seldom do it in pub- lic. A mile track, with competent judges im the stand, is the oniy true time test, William Borst offers to match the stallion George Wilkes against. Mountain Boy two races, one im har- ness, the other to wagon, mile heats, best three in five, for $2,590 each race.

Mr. Ferguson’s Needle Gun is at the Fashion Course, doing well. He trotted a halt mile in a trial the other morning in and afterwards @ quarter im thirty-five seconds. He will prove a formidable competitor in the Prospect Park Fair 2:29 purse. ‘Mr. Briggs has a beautiful Eureka mare that he calls Belle, that can beat 2:40. John McKune’s trotting stallion Toronto Chief was trotting fast on the road on Sunday morning. Mr. Harbeck’s gray horse Surprise, entered in the 2:29 purse at Prospect Park, 18 doing well. He is in training at Paterson, N. J., under the care of James McKee. Mr. James W. Gillie’s brown Henry Clay horse Dick was trotting very fast on Monday afternoon on McComb’s dam road, regardless of dust and danger, It takes a 2:30 horse to or with him when at speed, and a better one to beat him. Mr. Trimble was driving his handsome brown mare Nun on the road on Saturday. She is fast and has very square trotting action. Mr. Devlin has a short tailed bay horse that looks ike a trotter. ‘The Paterson race meeting commences next Tues- day. Purse No. 4, of a series offered by the proprietor of the Fashion Course, will be trotted for this after- noon. There are seven entries. Mr. Morris’ mare Ruthless and his colt perpen we understand, have both been turned out, and will not run at any of the coming race meetings. This ts to be regretted, as Ruthless would have been a great favorite in both the handicaps at Jerome Park. Mon- day would have been the favorite in the two mile heat race had he stood Lemmon ‘The gentleman who informed us of Mr. Morris’ ill luck also stated that Mr. O’Donnell’s colt the Duke was 80 lame In a hind ankle that he had to be let up. Should the lat- ter not recover in time to take part in the races for the handicaps Bayswater’s chances will be very good for both of them.

Numerous matches between the recognized cham- pions of billiard playing throughout the United States, have already arisen because of the exhibi- tions in the late tournament; and many second-rate players who have long had the assurance to consider themselves first class, have cropped ont at this junc- ture, and challenged those players who were thea unsuccessful in obtaining the first orsecond prize with the hope that their defeats have proved demoralizing. The first of these youngsters has already been wofully mistaken, inasmuch a$ Morris Daley, of New York, who has been “cracked “wonderful shot,” challen, William Goldthwaite, of Brooklyn, E. D., who has recently been unfortunate in some of his several games, to a size tables with no pockets. It was evening at the Astor billiard rooms, re Ty select audience, and proved a lamentable defeat for =o that may prove an excellent lesson for im. Goldthwaite led off and scored 9, Dailey fol- lowing with 12, After the seventh inning Goldthwaite was 217 and Daley 127. So well did the former play—with all the zeal and skill of his earlier years; with so much seeming confidence that at the sixteenth inning, he was 940 Daley’s 241, and thus to theend he made quite excellerft rans, as on the twenty-third inning his score counted 1,201 to his opponent's 370; beating him not only 830 points, but displaying much greater po in every possible respect. The score was as ows: Goldthwaite—9, 3, 126, 33, 42, 0, 4, 60, 102, 84, 72, 96, 219, 48, 24, 18, 66, 0, 6, 57, 87, 6, 39—1,201.

Important Action in Reference to the Excise Law to Follow the Reo! izatio: the Police Board, Mr. Henry Smith, the new Police Commissioner, put in an official appearance at Police Headquarters yesterday for the first time since his appointment. ‘The Board of Police hela a private session while he was in the building, but be took no part in it whatever, for reasons which are best known to himself, This morning, no doubt, much to the satisfaction of the thousand and one politicians who have been on the anxious seat for wecks past in anticipation of the momentous event, the Board will organize for the ensuing: te) when the oMces of President and Treasurer Will be Oiled. It 18 almost a foregone con- clusion that Mr. Matthew Brennan will be elected President and Mr. Smith Treasurer. There are ru- | mora that Judge Bosworth may possibly be Presi- dent, but as he is now President of the Excise Board there is no very great probability of the ramors being confirmed by the ac- tion of the Board to-day. One reason why so much interest 19 felt in the reorganization of the Commis- sion in other than police circles just now is that tt is the intention of certain of the members to make a bold fight in the Board of Excise for a reduction of the liquor license fees in this county and other coun- ties under the jurisdiction of the Board. Mr. Man- niere and Dr, Stone are said to be favorable to a re- duction, and their votes, with those of Commuasion- ers Brennan, Bosworth and Smith, will be sufficient to carry the motion when made, juor dealers are ‘on the qué tive accordingly.

Ceremenies at the Completion o.f the Raile road—Persuns Presout—Lnterentivg Pa tica- lars. PROMONTORY Sumi, Utah, May 10, 1860. Farly thts morning the principal men of the Union Pacific Railroad arrived here from Echo and Weber cailons, where they had been superintending the re- pairs of several bridges damaged by raise water. Tne first palace sleeping car ever seen on the Pacific territory was brought over the worst bridge, at Devil's Gate, by ropes, it not being considered safe to use a locomotive, The passengers consisted of T. C. Durant, vice president of the Union Pacific Kall- road; Sidney Dillon, director; John Duff, director; Colonel Seymour, consulting engineer; General Dodge, chief engineer; Samuel B, Reed, superintend- ent of construction; General Casement, D. T. Case- ment, Mr. Boyd, D. Henry, Major Bent and other contractors; George Leddie, superintendent of bridges; L. H. Echols, assistant superintendent of bridges, and many others of the Union Pacific men. Of the Central Pacific Railroad there were Gov- ernor Stanford, president; John Corning, assistant superintendent; General John Strawbridge, super- intendent of construction; Stephenson, civil engi- neer, and others. There was also a delegation from Salt Lake city, consisting of Colonel Jennings, vice president of the Utah Central Rallroad; Bishop Sharp, of Union Pacific contracting firm of Sharp & Young; Colonel F. Little—all Mormons—and Colonel F, H. Head, Superintendent of Indian Affairs, from Ogden City. A deputation of Mormons, including President Richards, one of the twelve apostles; Bishop West, and President Farr, of the Central Pacific Railroad, and contractors Stenhouse, of the Salt Lake telegraph, were there. There were also Edgar Mills, banker, of Sacramento; General Houghton, ex-Surveyor General of California; L. W. Coe, president of the Pacific Union Express; Judge Sanderson, of the Supreme Bench of Califorma; Dr. Harkness, of Sacramento; Dr. Stillman, Wi- liam Sherman and Koll T. Harris, civil engineer, of San Francisco; General P. Connor, of Utah; F. A. Trittle and P. T. Haynes, of Nevada; General Cogswell, Colonel Ihric and Lieutenant Oliver, of the United States Army. In all 4,000 Dealscape talists, professional railroad men and graders, with a few ladies—were on the ground co witness the com- pletion of this great work, The scene was @ grassy valley on a mountain which divides tne north end of Great Sait Lake into two bays, far away from all signs of civilization ex- cept such as surround the railroad camps. A chosen party of skilled Chinese Jevelled the ground and laid the last few ties, and the last pair of ratls were placed and spiked to all but the last tle, the spikes being driven by Mr. Nottingham, President of the Michigan Central and Lake Shore Raliroad. Com- mussioners Sherman, Hoyne, Strawbridge and Reed, superincendents of construction, placed the polished laurel tie with silver plate, sent by California, under the rail. The ends and joints were adjusted by the respective oifivers of the Union Pacific, taking the right hand rall looking east aud the Central Pacific the left hand. Edgar Mills, as master of ceremonies, cailed upon Rev. Dr. Todd, of Pittsfeid, vo invoke the blessing of the Deity on their work. Dr. Harkness, with a few words, offered California's iit of a golden spike, which was acceptea by Vice sident Durant, and by him placed in the auger hole. Mr. F. A. ‘tritue, in the name of Nevada, offered a silver spike with a neat sentiment. Gover- nor Stanford accepted and placed it. Governor Saf- tora, of Arizona, on behalf of that Territory, oiferea a spike of gold, silver aud iron, with a short sentiment. Governor Stanford responded for the railroad over which he presided, After recounting their lavors and anxieties, and expressing a wish tor amity, peace and co-operation between tue companies, he spoke of the great future for ratiroads, when freights by railroad shall be less than any other mode of carriage. General Dodge responded for the Union Pacific Railroad, and con- Senn by saying they had built the pathway to Indi Edgar Mills added a few words and presented a ellver sledge hammer in the name of the Pacific Union Express Company. Governor Stanford re- ceived it, and the vs wire having been con- nected with it and Vice President Durant having arrived with the ordinary tool, the signal was given and the President of the Central and Vice President of the Union drove home the last spikes. At Stan- ford’s blow the electric current through hundreds of cannon made known to the world that the great work which will revolutionize commerce was ac- complished, and that courage, patience and skill had achieved what was a few years ago laughed at as the dream of enthusiasts, When the shouts of joy had subsided the telegrams to the President of the United States and to the Asso- ctated Press were read, and the ceremony concluded with three cheers for every one concerned in building the road, from the laborer who did the work to the government that furnished the means, con- gratulations and expressions of mutual respect and esteem between oficers of roads, once rivals, now un! and with common interests in building up the traMc of both coasts and developing the country through which they pass. Cailfornia’s inte- rest um this day’s work on Promontory Summit is only second to that of the finding of gold at Sutter's Mill, and the resaits are likely to be as stupendous in their effects on the Pacific slope and on the world at large.

San FRANCISCO, May 10, 1869, At eleven o’clock and forty-five minutes (San Francisco time) the last tie and last rall was laid and the last spike was driven op the Pacific Railroad, A telegraph wire, running from the City Haji under the streets of the city and out to Fort Potnt, was at- tached to @ 15-inch gun, and at the first stroke on the last spike (telegrapied from Promontory Point) the gun was Gred by eleccricity, and by the game agent ail the fire bells in the city were rung.
