The battle which was fought on the 5th of May, at Puente de Eraul, near Stella, in Navarre, by the Carlist forces and the troops of the Spanish Republic was the most impor- tant fight which has yet occurred between the contending parties, and resulted in a complete victory for General Dorregary, Don Carlos’ ‘commander. A SUDDEN SURPRISE AND LOYALIST GAIN. Four days previously the Carlist troops were surprised at Pena-Cerrada by a government army column, and retreated with the greatest precipitation toward the mountains. Rein- forcing parties from government regiments, co-operating with the victors, joined in the pursuit of the SBourbonists. Thus five ‘columns of republicans, encouraged by the ‘Carlist flight, pursued the retreating party with such energy that General Dorregary, within a space of sixty hours, marched his men nearly four times the distance which would have been accomplished in that space of ‘time under ordinary circumsiances, and made one continuous march of forty hours’ duration. On the fourth day the Carlist troops wore com- ‘pletely broken down, but the government forces were, notwithstanding, distaneod, with the exception of one column, under the com- mand of Colone] Novarra, composed of sol- diers of the line, supported by a battery of artillery. BOURBONIST TACTICS AND A TELLING BLOW. || General Dorregary contrived, by wheeling round or “facing about’’ suddenly, perhaps, ‘to deliver a blow which crippled this force, and in consequence of his gain, and encour- aged thereby, formed a line of battle at Puente de Eraul, on the range of alow hill which is partly covered by shrub-oak and chapparral. IN POSITION AND OPENING FIRE, Here he placed about three thousand men in position. The centre was commanded by Lizarraya, the left by Elio and on the right were the other Carlists under the personal control of Dorregary. The government troops, coming up soon afterwards, occupied higher ground, which gave their artillery command of the Carlist position and enabled their gunners to sweep the space lying between the opposing commands. The Carlists had no artillery. FEELING WITH SKIRMISHERS. The Spanish skirmishers ‘felt’ the Bour- bonist lines cautiously during some hours. “ADVANCE AND ENGAGE IN ACTION.” At three o'clock in the afternoon the Spanish government troops advanced to action in handsome style, supported by tho fire of their artillery. The work of the battery was not very destructive; but as the Carlist insurgents entertain an exaggerated respect for the power of cannon, the fire made their men uneasys even while doing them little injury. A PAINFUL FUSILADE. Moving on in this fashion the Spanish army advance first came within range of the fire of Tdgarraya’s mon, who opened on them from the chaparral bushes with qn ¢xcecdingly NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, MAY 15, 1878.—TRIPLE SHEET. destructive fusilade. ‘Ihe first effect staggered the Spanish line and broke the force of its ad- vance. It was soon after compelled to relin- quish a portion of the ground which it had already gained, but the main body of the troops persevered onward in perfect order, and the skirmish line kept the fellows in the chapparal busy. GENERAL OLLO MAKES A RAPID MOVEMENT FOB THE ROYALISTS. When the battle was fully engaged at this point, and just subsequent to the skirmishing, General Ollo, one of Don Carlos’ most dis- tinguished officers, who overlapped the gov- ernment troops on the right, made his way through the chaparral, thus getting well on the flank of the force. In his front Lizarraya peppered away to some purpose, but keeping his men for the most part under cover. A SEVERE AND BLOODY STRUGGLE. The fight was continned on these terms, an exchange of musketry fira and the artillery play of the government battery, for nearly an hour, both sides losing men. Many soldiers, carrying dead and wounded comrades to the Carlist rear, passed me, and, as the Carlists shoot better than the government troops, I infer that the condition of affairs was worse on the other side. GALLANT CHARGE FOR THE CROWN AND CHURCH. Meanwhile General Dorrogary was prepar- ing to deliver an effective stroke against the republicans, with his characteristic energy. He had at hand a body of cavalry, composed entirely of young gentlemen belonging to Catholic families of distinction, mostly cadets of the houses of the Basque nobility, com- manded by Marquis Valdespina. There was some trouble to get this force in position to charge the government battery. Finally, at the hour of four o'clock in the afvernoon, the Carlist cavalry was made ready. Colonel Rodas’ battalion of infantry was also prepared to advance with the bayonet against the government left. This (Rodas’) is the same battalion which charged so splendidly against the republican army in tho recent battle near Vich. The signal being given, there was 2 simulta- neous advance and charge of the whole Carlist line. It was a most tremendous helier-skelter charge, the cavalry operating on most difficult ground. HAND TO HAND AND ‘WAR TO THE KNIFE.” An obstinate hand-to-hand combat ensued between Rodas’ men and the troops of the government line. REPUBLICAN RETREAT. The government troops broke and fled in complete rout in every direction—to the mountains and into the villages—in order to escape the pursuit of the cavalry. THE KILLED AND WOUNDED. General Valdespina thrust in his arm. Anumber of the cavalry were killed and two captains wounded. The Carlist loss, in killed and wounded, was 150. received a bayonet SPOILS. The victors captured one cannon, its car- tinge and caissons. taken, but it was impossible to get them away through the mountain paths before night, when the Carlist force was compelled to retire. Two other guns were PRISONERS. There were captured also four chief officers of the republican army, with sixty-four subaltern officers and privates. A HERALD SPECIAL EITHER KILLED OR A PRIS- ONER.

General Ignacio Agramonte’s Eody Buried Comments on His Death—The Fate of Gen- eral Sanguili—The Dead in Bat- tle—Quarantine Roliof. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. HAVANA, May 13, 1873.

Sketch of Ignacio Argramonte. The subject of this sketch, Ignacio de Agramonte, the Bayara of tke Cuban revolution, was born at Puerto Principe, in Cuba, of highly respectable and well-to-do parents, in the year 1843. After passing through the curriculum of a liberal home educa- tion, he was sent, while comparatively young, to Havana, where he entered the University, and worked with all the concentrated energy of his realistic nature till he gained the reputation of being one of the most talented and promising men in the place. About this time he resolved to make law his profession, and with great ease passed a rigorous examination and was admitted to prac- tice as a member of the Havana bar. Fortune fa- vored the young lawyer with practice and renown. He resolved to marry and did so. In the early part of 1868 the revolution which has since gained such immense proportions ‘was in its inception, and it was not till tne “Gritode Yara,’ in the latter part of the year, that young Agramonte fully realized the desperate hate which existed in the Cuban bosom against Spanish rule which held thetr island by force, Agramonte’s pen and law books were hastily discarded, and, with the warm impulses of his nature, he was ene of the first to raise the lone star banner of ‘ree Cuba” and to commence carrying on a guerilla war, ‘the Spanish forces were not then as hardiy aie as they are now, nor aid the Cuban patriots hold sway on the same extent-of territory they now do, Skir- mishes were almost an everyday occurrence, Young Agramonte, with his chivalric natare, always in- sisted upon being in the front ranks, and the contempt he appeared to have for death was ofttimes commented upon by his comrades and the Spaniards, who believed that he held a charmed llie. ‘Such dashing bravery could not fail to be appreciated by his commanding officer, who happened to be General Quesada, and little won- der was it that the month of June, 1870, found the young lawyer enjoying the position of major gene- ral and also member of the Congress of the Repub- lic of Cuba from the Central Department, and it is related that Agramonte, by his eloquence and logical powers, was absointely able to sway the minds of many of the older Senators, who felt themselves entranced with the young patriet’s deep reasoning and noble thoughts. In addition to serving under the command of General Quesada, he also fought with General Jordan, now of this city, and gained golden opinions on every side. Space will not allow of more than a passing mention of the contests in which he took part. Suffice it to say that he was at the capture of Las Tunas, the engagements Bontlia, Los Minas dé Tana, El Cluseo and countless others. Im company with the ex-Marquess of Santa Lucia and Eduardo Aqra- monte, his cousin, he formed the committee of three appointed by the Cuban government to rule the Central Department. While residing ior some time in a mountain fast- ness his young and beautiful wile gave birth to a boy. Later on she managed to escape from Cuba Libre at her husband's entreaties, who feared for her tife, and came on here, where she gave birth to asecond child, She is now ving at the city of Merida, in Mexico. Agramonte did great damage to the Spaniard by means of his cavalry corps, composed principall of farmers and creole negroes, who were well mounted and rode iike centaars. This cerps of flying artillery, under the command of Major Gen- eral Agramonte, decimated, it is reported, nine de- tachments 01 Spanish cavalry numbering each sorty to seventy men. When General esacda left Cuba Libre on a mission to the United States for President Cespedes, Agramonte was piaced in supreme mili- tary command of the Central Department, and, since that time, he has remained down to the moment of his death fighting for tree Cuba and for the abolition of slavery. His name has been a tower of strength among the Cubans, and, Instead of this sad event depressing their energy for carry- ing on the strite to the bitter end, it will be in all probability but another incentive to them to be vee men or die, His companion in the commencement of the struggle was his brother, who tought with him, side by side, The ents of Agramonte were forced to fly the country on account of their affini- ties with the revolution. The brother just alluded to sacrificed his ambition to his Gia and came on to New York to support the family. The father goon fell a victim to this rigorous climate and died, and the mother became, and is still, heartbroken. Her son is now 4 practising doctor and resides in this city with his mother, two sisters and a brother. In concluding this brief sketch an illustration of Agramonte’s character is given. On one occasion at Havana, a iriend of his was insuited by a Span- ish major, named Vaicro, and a ‘duel to the death” was agreed upon. Agramonte, being & clever swordsman, wounded his adversary in his face and in his body, and the toss of blood caused him to become s@ weak that he could fight no longer. Agramonte insisted that that the duel should terminate, instead of giving his opponent the coup de [ved Which moat men in his place would have done. No more honored name will ever live in the annals of the Cuyan straggle for independence than that of ignacio Agramonte.

The Seoretary of the Navy has received a tole- gram from Consul Malloy, at St. Jonn’s, stating that the crew of the Polaris want money, and also asking whether he should advance funds on ac- count of the Eaquimaux and crew on the sick list. The Secretary promptly replied, directing the Con- | 8ul to afford the requisite assistauce and to draw on him for the meney. The Secretary having ordered the Frolic, at New York, to proceed to St, John’s with every comfort for the relief of the crew of the Polaris, he was to- day informed that the Frolic will be ready to pro ceed on her voyage to-morrow. There may be some difficulty, however, in immediately reaching St. John’s, as the Consul says the harbor is blocked withice.
