Despatch 10 The Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, June 2S.-Cubans here this
morning received advices mp to the 18th instant,
which confirm the previous reports of the preva-
lence of cholera and fever among the Spanish
troops. The mortality is said to be very great.
In several portions of the island their line of
communication is cut off, and they are suffering
for want of food and medicine The Spanish
army has lost since the commencement of the
revolution more than half of their force in
battle and by disease and desertions. The
Spaniards have been concentrating in the Cinca
Villas district, and collisions are of almost daily
occurrence. The reinforcements which were
sent from Camaguey attacked the Cubans, and
were defeated. They were compelled to retreat
with loss of over three hundred killed
and wounded. The loss of the Cubans
was less than one hundred. The Cuban forces
from Jaquey Grande attacked the Spaniards near
Palmidas, defeated large force of regulars and
volunteers, and captured that town, with the
provisions and arms which were stored there.
The expedition which landed at Nuevas Grandes
succeeded in joining the main body of the Cuban
army with but little difficulty. 1t numbered six
hundred men, all in good health and spirits.
They were received with great rejoicing The Gu
ban army is said to be in good fighting condition,
and the leaders are determined to followup their
recent victories and arc confident of success.
They have as yet suffered but little from disease,
as they occupy elevated and healthy positions
some distance from the coast.
