Which the spanish Troops Lost Heavily

the World from Havana says:
determination on the island is an
appalling, actual fact. The death rate
is actually increasing. A prominent
Spanish medical officer, who has full
knowledge Of the interior, says that
should the war be prolonged Is
months the western half Of
the island will be entirely de-
populated. The death rate is likely
to double next month. Contagion will

The rains have turned the interior
into quagmires in many places. The
trocha is a pestilential ditch. The
soldiers are suffering terribly from
feverand dysentery. Little oltlie siiiill-
pox vaccination is effective. With fore
sight thousands of pacifcos might
easily have been saved by vaccination.
A san culinary engagement occurred
Wednesday at Managua, Is miles
from Havana The insurgents attacked
column of Spanish and the latter
lost heavily. The details were sup.
pressed here. Many ambulances with
wounded have arrived here.
The rebels are certainly concentrat'
ing around Havana. Trains have been
fired into repeatedly. A Spanish force,
while accommodating, was ambushed
near San Miguel. They fought brave
ly, but were compelled to retire.
Gen. Rivera is sick and appears in
different as to his fate. lie will as
suredly be shot, unless strong action is
taken by the United States.
