BATTLES IN CUBA.

Insurgents Lose, With a Large List of Killed.

HAVANA, July 21.—Further details have been made public of the recent battles between Insurgents and Government troops between Manzanilla and Bayamo.

Captain-General Martinez Campos left Manzanilla for Bayamo with 1,000 troops. On June 30th his force was ambushed by 7,000 Insurgents near Valenzuela. The Spanish forces were under the command of Brigadier-General Santocildes, who was the military commander of the Manzanilla district. The Spanish troops fought bravely, again and again repelling the fierce charges of the rebels. It was thought that the principal object of the attack was to secure General Campos.

The troops formed a hollow square about him, thoroughly determined that he would not be taken unless it was over their dead bodies. The battle lasted seven hours. During one of the charges General Santocildes was killed. General Campos then took command of the troops, and finally succeeded in defeating the rebels. The Insurgents left 500 dead and wounded on the field of battle. The Government loss was about seventy-two killed, including two officers and a number wounded.

MADRID, July 21.—A dispatch from Havana states that General Navarro with 2,000 men has arrived at Bayamo, and relieved General Campos, who was in a critical position in that city. Colonel Aldane, with a battalion, is expected to arrive at Bayamo shortly.
