.ofacers and many Of the men on the gunboats
and men-ofwar have already died. The yel-
low fever cases as Yeti In the city have been
very few, but goodly number Of sailors have
been sent to the hospital from the various war
vessels In the harbor.G All this furnishes cause
of depression, and incites gloomy forebodings
for the future. The insurgents continue ac-
