HAVANA, June Is, 1862
we have copies Of the Man,bi, Cuban paper pub
lished at Guamaro, containing General Quesada's
report dated May l6 oftwo victories obtained by the
patriot forces over the Spanlards on the road be-
tween Puerto Padre and Las Tunas. They state that
the Spanish troops retreated panic-stricken with
loss OF $50 Killed and wounded The loss Of the Gu
bans is twenty-five.
Spanish advlces from Nuevitas to the 18th state
that General Ferrar with his command, returned to
that port the Sth having assisted in escOrting
convoy to Las Tunas. desperate fight took place at
Reinosa where the artillery compelled the patriots
to retire, which they did in good order The attacks
upon the convoy were continued until 1t was near
Las Tunas The troops were not molested on their
return.
On the day of their arrival nineteen cases OF
cholera occurred among the OF which seven died.
A train from Puerto Principe arrived at Nuevitas
on the 10th. hand car In advance was captured,
with committee of volunteers going to Havana to
obtain the removal of General Letona.
The Spanish officers and troops are disheartened.
They find their work inglorious and their CON-
manders without ability except to make exagger-
ated reports OF operations.
Advces from Santiago de Cuba to the sth state
that two expeditions have landed, one near Guana-
namO and another near Baracoa The first named
is reported to have been annihllated and their war
material captured. The fact Of the case probably
Is that party sent from the expedition to commu-

WASHINGTON, June IL, 1869.
Intelligence received here by the friends Of Cuba
represent that the fight at Puerto del Padre was OF
more importance than at first reported The effect
OF the defeat OF the Spanish troops was decisive al
most destroying the effectiveness Of the Spanish
forces in that portion Of the island 1t opens up di-
rect communication with the coast and enables the
forces of the cuban army to protect the landing OF
reinforcements from the United States The friends OF
Cuban independence here very soiciious to hear
from General Jordan's command. 1t Is known that
for some days he has been in close proximity to
large Spanish force and q collision was imminent at
any time. Generals Cespedes and Quesada are re-
ported to be confident that they masters OF the
situation and that the independence OF Cuba Is a
certainty. Every expedition which has left the
United States has successfully landed and joined
General Quesada's army, and now compose for
midable and effective force and are terror to the
government troops. In every collision they are the
victors They waste no ammunition. Every shot
is represented as certainly fatal In Its effect.
