Weyler's Heavy Loss Reported From Cuba War Battle
Colonel Jose Reyes, aide to General Maceo, says the Rubi hilla of Pinar del Rio produced the war's bloodiest fighting with 2000 Weyler dead and twice as many wounded in two days. Weyler led 95,000 men in three columns and Maceo entrenched in hills. Explosions by dynamite mine and Linn's guns wrought havoc as Maceo retreated and Elliott Echague's column suffered heavy losses. In Havana, Antonio Lopez Colomán was executed after 24 hours in a chapel. Weyler rushed back to Havana as supply trains were delayed, with farmers ordered to move corn to garrisons.
