New York, Nov. 28.--A Brooklyn evening paper to-day says: Col. Jose Reyes, one of Maceo's adjutants, who arrived at the office of the Cuban junta in New York city to-day with dispatches from his staff, denies the story telegraphed from Jacksonville the other day that Captain-General Weyler had lost 2,000 men during his march through the province of Pinar del Rio recently by dynamite trains and guns. He says the battle fought early in October was mistaken for an engagement with Weyler's troops. He says the details of the two battles are almost identical. The alleged loss on the occasion of the October fight is said to have been 2,000 Spanish and thirty Cubans under Gen. Melquizer and Gen. Maceo.
