Spanish accounts thu health of the Army OF the
Peninsula in Cuba is far from Satisfactory Ad.
dtonal hospitals are being erected in different parts
of The country, and the troops arc suffering very
much from disease. We have now ave hospitals, and

Principe Alfonso losrila md fortress there are go
men sch and wounded. They are not properly at
tended to, and from ~ to II die daily. In the four
other hospitals there arc 1890 patients, that the
sum total Of sick and wounded in the five reaches g.
900 Add to this. about 500 lying in the villages Of
Cobre, Palma Soriino, and Cris,o, and VIC reach the
astonishing figure Of 5000 men perfectly powerless

tri,s, having fortified ia Ceiba," were three
times attacked by 1850 spaniards, who had orders

PEELED BY the Cub1ns, AM the Spanish officer had to
retire with loss OF $50 and many wounded Du-
