(By the Associated Press.) Havana, Aug. 23. The body of the negro General Quenlin Bandera, the most daring Insurgent in Havana province, lies in the morgue at Havana today flanked by those of two mulatto comrades, all frightfully gashed by the long heavy machetes of the rural guards who ended their career. Across the street iii Neptune Park a great crowd, mostly negro friends of Ban dera are watching the morgue witli silent interest. The arrival of Bandera's body here was the first news of the light in which ho met his death. The conflict occur red at the Silevira Farm near Punta Brava, fifteen miles from Havana. A detachment of thirty-eight mounted rural guards under Captain Ignacio Delgado and Lieutenant Martinez, were searching throughout the night for Bandera's party. At 2 o'clock this morning the guards were breaking through a wire fence at the endge of the Silveira Farm when they were sud denly fired upon by Bandera's folow ers. twenty in number. The guards rushed mion the insurgents but with the exception of their chief and bin two leading comrades they all succeed ed in getting away. The Dead Horribly Mutilated. The guards made the chief and his two champions a special object of at tack, and all three received .several bul let wounds and were horribly mutilat ed by machete cuts. Not one of tha guards was wounded. The bodies of Bandera and his companions were placed In a wagon and taken to Ha vana.

The smallness of the party accompanying Bandera has caused surprise here, but it is believed that he only had a portion of his band with him.
