| The Cadiz correspondent Of the Diario de Ia
Marina, nnder date of 18th of June, says:
The reintorcements preparing for Cuba will
not go off 80 soon as was anticipated, for the
troops that were to compose them have not even
arrived here, except in very small numbers,
nor have the vessels of war that, under the first
orders of the Government, were to form the
heet, made their appearance. The sailing YES
| sells may arrive to morrow, as they have been
detained for some days by contrary winds in the
Straits of Gibraltar The steamship Francisco
de Asls must first go to England for repairs
upon her hull and bottom, and this will take
her some time / doubt if the steamer Vulcano
can be got ready in time to send to Cuba, as she
is now at Ferrol, where she has to go into dock
for important repairs; SO that the only disposal
Bile steamship is the Conda de Regla, which runs
as mail ship to your port. Great activity has
been ordered in the dock-yards in the building
and repairing Of vessels"
The Diario is very eulogistic on Judge Camp
bell, but expresses the opinion that he is not
well supported in this country in his doctrine.
The yellow fever continues to be very violent
at Havana. A private letter says that it may
have subsidized somewhat among the foreign re-
sidents, as the writer had not been asked to q
funeral for two days, but that it was very pre-
valent among the shipping. =@.-
