Deen compelled 10 abandon. The insurgents
mad only retired for the purpose of reforming.
It Ihat done, theyIreturned in force, made bril-
nant charge with the bayonet, retOok all the
guns, and compelled the Spaniards to retreat in
disorder, with a loss of forty-fve killed and one
hundred wounded.
On the 10th instant severe engagement took
Place Iour miles from Puerto Padre. The insur-
gents attacked n force of 1000 Spaniards convey
ing provisions to Tunas. The battle took place
along the margin of the river, and lasted several
hours, and every attempt of the Spaniards to
was repulsed with severe loss. They were shot
down in the river actually dyeing the water
with their blood. Finally the Spaniards
were driven back with great loss and com
peued 10 abandon the design of provisioning
Iunas: they acknowledge a loss of thirty
tour Killed and one hundred wounded, but
the insurgents claim that their loss was much
heavier. The Spanards retreated to Puerto
Fadre, where they were awaiting reinforcements
at last accounts. One thousand men, under
General Ferrer, had arrived from Puerto Prin-
clpe at Nuevitas, and were about to march to
reinforce Puerto Padre. Ferrer will command
all the Spanish troops there. Puerto Padre is
small seaport town on the north coast of Cuba,
between Hibara and Malaqueta Bay. The
LOCALITY Is reported to be swarming with insur-
gents. The Cubans are jubilant over these sue
cessve victories, which have evidently been
gained by the patriots rs all the information
has been obtained from Spanish sources. Never
were the CuOans more sanguine of achieving
their independence than at the present day.

The Government is in great straits for coal and
will probably lay an embargo on all that is in
Cuba. Reliable information from revolutionary
sources reports that Count Vamaseda's forces
have been driven out of Bayamo by the insur-
gents under General Marmol, and thatValmaseda
himself has been captured. Two hundred ISpa-
