On Dec. 21s1 several innurgent launches
cruised alorg the shore of the Sande dis-
trict end directed a hob fire against the
opeotators who had gathered there through,
ourinity. The latter smattered in every
direction for shelter, but many were killed.
The launchers cruised up anal down the
beech for an beer, inflicting all the damags
they liessibly could. Whe exact number Ed
perwene killed cannot be ascertained, but
rumor has it that two eartieede of bodkin
were oerned off. It is pretty certain that
the Government soldiere piked up sixteen
dead.
Judging from the outlook it is mkt te say
that another engagement between the Goo -
torment forces e,ad the insurgent vessels is
imminent. The Arnett= warships are
uuder orders to be ready to move out of
range of -the fire zb an hour's notice.

The insurgent troope who, it was pro -
mind, were to come from Rio Grande De
