SANTIAGO DE CUBA, (via Key WesT, Fra.), Dec, Great alarm prevai Lieutenant-General Pando. The towns and villages of Palma Seriano, San Luis Jaminos, Songo, Cristo, Dos Bocas and San Vicente, all on the American rail- road line, have ail been left inhabited by women, children and a few Spaniards. All the Cuban.men of the places have been | arrested and lodged in the jail of this city. The steamer Baldomero Yglesias sailing | from this port this morning for Africa took | many prominent persons from this city, Guantanamo and other towns to hard labor in Ceuta. About fifty men were brought here this morning from Cristo accused by the priest of that place of getting ready to rise, kill the garrison and poison the water and bread. Everybody thinks it is an infamous ~alumny. On the 13th instant, Tamal, the only village 1 escaped the fire in the Baracoa s taken and burned by Leader Ruen and his party. At the beginning of the attack the Spanish colonel, Tamora, with 500 men appeared with the object of defending the place and its forts, The fight lasted two hours, after which time the Spaniards retreated to Baracoa, los- ing nineteen soldie killed, and fifty wounded. The rebels had three killed and eleven wounded, and captured from the troops 20,000 cartridges and thirty guns that were in the fortresses. More than 100 men, useful for the war, joined Ruen’s party, forty of them volunteers, with arms and ammunition. The coiumn of General Canollas had so many wonnded in the battle of Ramon de Las Saguas on the 12th instant that, owing to the aifliculty of carrying them,on the 17th they had not reached Guanta namo. It wasacomplete defeat for the Spaniards.

The v riety at the Union was progressing as usual and the programme was about half finished when Manager Smith came in from his office and walked to a table at which were seated five or six men. One of them was Tom Pascoe,a weil- known man about the camp. Smith ac- cused him of being the lead ang of toughs which were scattered about the theater and “told him he had heard tie toughs had come to clean out the p The lie was passed instantly and in g jiffy a dczen pistols were flashing in the~ hi. -Befurea wvie could inte Pascoe had brought his pistol to a leve with Smith’s head and haa let its contents £0. Smithdropped on his knee and as Le fell he was seen to draw his gun. A report rang out and Fascoe reeled and fell almost directly across Smith. Tue shooting then became general and when the smoke had cleared away tie extent of the damage was known. Nearly every light in the place had been shot out and it was some time before sufficient ‘lamps could be obtained to allow the Marshal to see who had been killed. It is remarkable that but twc were killed, as bullet marks are everywhere. Some of the wounded left the place for their camps without saying who they were, and a full list of the injured cannot be obtained. All the men were more or less drunk. Smith and Ferguson were old-time ene- mies, and this fact is giwven as the causg for the trouble. Twenty-three shots we exchanged. 5 The town is all ex shooting to-n t, and fugfher is not improbable.
