The in ais control the province and | the Spanish generals fear that it they fai in the effort to reconquer it for the Span- ish Weyler will lay the blame wholly at | their doors.

The last struggle of the Spaniards was in a trench in the center of the town, defended by 350 soldiers. It was taken in a hand to hand fight, and then the garrison surrendered. General Alejandro Rodrigurz, the Cuban commander in Havana province, led the attack. He remained four hours after the Spaniards gave up the fight in the house of friends whers he dined. His soldiers in the meantime plundered all the Span- ish stores and sent to the nearest Cuban ccmp all the arms, ammunition and horses of tne Spaniards. Before leaving General Rodrizuez wrote to Gomez, giving him a full account of the victory.
