Cleveland' Nest Message.
Washington, D. U. President
Cleveland's annual message, promises to
be interesting, even though his recomrcen
(latino to Conifi'BSS lesptciog finances
and other domestic questions will be only
a reiteration of what he hns said befoue,
He hopes to have some statements to
muk about our foreign offjira which will
l of importance. Secretary Oiney has
returned, and dm a not expect to leave
until he goes out of office. The three most
important matters which he has had in
hand are the question of general atbitra-
tion with Ore it Britain and tlie Venezuo-
and dispute, from which it was evolved
the Cuban question and the question of
the protection of our ci':zcDS in the Turk
ish dominion and the reparation for in
uries d jne to their property. Secretarj
Olney would like to close up all tbest
questions, but it is likely that lhu treat)
for general arbitration with Gie.it Briiaio
and the settlement of the Cubau qu stion
will-both go over to tho next Administra
tion. -
There is good reason to be. love that the
Venezuelan dispute will be relerred to
arbitration by an agreement between Great
Britain and the United States, which will
satisfy the demand niado by President
Cleveland in his Venizuelan messago las
winter, and that the TurkUh Govcrnmsnt
will make an equally satisfactory settle
med of claims made against her on behali
of our citizeosy
As to the Cuban malt' r. The Adminis
tration hps been muring from Consul
General Lee fuller and more exact infor
mation than it had heforo of the condition

Havana. News has been hceived here
of nn engagement which took place Mon
day near Guamo, in the western part of
the province oi Finar del Rio, between the
Spanish troops nnder General Bernal and
Colonel Granados and the insurgents under
Antonio Maceo,
Bolonel Granados, it appeals, was in
formed that the Cantabrii Battalion was
surrounded by a force of 8,000 imurgent
iiifantry and 800 cavalry at Guamo. The
insurgent force had been sent to Guamo.
by Antonio Maceo from Loma Blanra.
Colonel Granados' troops charged the
enemy afier his artillery had fired twelve
Shots at the insurgent positions. The in
surgents soon commenced to fly and tin
Cantabrio. Batallion thus relieved from its
dangerous positiou, was enabled to join
the troops under Colonel Granudna, and
the entire force pushed forward to attack
the positions which the insurgents ha'
taken up after having been driven anay
from the immediate vicinity of Guamo.
The latter were stubbornly defended, but
the insurgents were dislodged alter five
hours' fighting, and were driven back te
yond the Loma Bianco, leaving eighty
killed on the field. The troops bad twelve
men killed and ninety two men wounded
among thelatter being four officers.
While this fighting was in progress
General Bernal was finishing a sicono
engagement with the insurgents at Lomas
deLtTeji. General Bernal only had
about 700 troops at his disposal, while
the forces of Autonio Maceo occupied
long lines of battle. The fighting com
menced at 9:30 a. m., and the enetii
made a very stubborn defense. But the in
surgents wre finally dislodged from tht
positions they had taken up, leaving 100
killed on the field, and the prisoners cap
tured by the Spaniards say that the insur
gents carried away over 200 wounded. On
the side of the troops Lieutenant-Colonel
Romero, of thu San Martial battalion, one
of General Bcrnul's aide-de-camp?, and
eighteen privates, were k 'lied. In addition
Lieutenant-Colonel Cliacel. ot the engi
neer corps, eight officers and sixty-five
privates were wounded.
