indeed, in all that section OF the island. In this
port which in ordinary times used TO be alive with
vessels, foreign merchant ships have appeared for
months SO that commerce Is almost completely
None are to be seen in the harbor now
save a few coasting sloops and schooners, and four

Cu0ans here were also much astonished because they
could not understand why Quasada dld not attack
the train. The fact, however, was that the insur
gents had very little ammunition, for they had ex
pended most OF their supply IN the late engagement
SO the train was allowed TO pass unmolested partly
from necessity and partly because some OF the insur
gents had been purposely Withdrawn from the line
OF the railroad TO the coast TO be ready 10 receive
expected expeditions. Intelligence had been secretly
