tor james w. Nye, formerly of Nevada, now
resident of Brooklyn, reached this city
under peculiar circumstances yesterday

Cuba,

General Comes, the commander OF
the Cuban patriots, who first broke the
line of the Trochs, and has since bea-
ten the Spanish ferccs III that portion
of the island, in . recent letter to the
Secretary of War Of the Cuban Gov
crnment, gives seme important facts
IA TO the operation Of both armies. In
relation to his antagonists he says
cat times weak, at others ignorant OF
our plans, the 5paniards, finding them
selves utterly impotent to make head
against our peculiar strategy, vent their
rage upon the unfortunate and defense
less country people. And yet, net.
withstanding this barbarous system OF
terrorism, the people everywhere help,
protect and desire the success of the
revolution" In speaking of the pa
triots, he remarks: "The sanitary con-
dition of the invading army is highly
satisfactory; it is we'll supplied with all
its needs, and its losses in killed and
wounded are easily and amply rcplac-
ed" He also states that since the first
of the present year there have been
captured from the Spanish forces 750
rifles, $4,000 metallic cartridges, 500
machetes, 500 calvary equipments, and
900 horses. These are articles much
needed by the patriots at the present
time, as they will enable the govern
ment to put larger force of men in
the field. The obstacle in the path of
the patriots from the start has been
want of arms and ammunition. There
are ten thousand men in Cuba at the
present time ready to join the Cuban
army. But they cannot be supplied
with rifles or swords. Each capture
therefore made of arms and munitions
of war is of the greatest Importance to
the cause and success of the patriots.
They can take care of the cause so near
| to their hearts and feelings, if means
to do so are put in their hands. This
point is being approached more nearly
| every day, and hence the i'll success
| that attends all the later movements OF
General Valmascda and his subordi-
| mates, The Cubans have invaded the
best sugar section of the island, and
unless checked in their advance will
soon cut off all communication between
/ Havana and Mantanzas and Cienfue'
Cos. These are the latest authentic
facts from Cuba, and they show, be-
yond all question, that Spain is losing
| ground in the island steadily and sure
Iy, that no parts of Cuba taken by the
patriots within the past year have ever
been recaptured by the government
troops.
