SPANISH REINFORCE MENTs.
The most startling information OBJ
the advance began almost twenty thou
sand Spanish soldiers have arrived in
Santiago dc Cuba. This statement is
made on the authority of Gen. I.awton
and ho is also Of the opinion that Gen
'andO may be ablo to effect Il junction
with Gen. linarcs at Santiago de Cuba.
TIE ADVANCE NOT RESISTED.
There were no alarms last night. Many
Of our officers arc amazed, as they have
looked FOR resistance to our advance. The
ground over which they have travelled
nj l,,,, 4
Span;.trds have steadily retired, not oven
attempting to harass our TANKS
Apparently Gen. l.inarcs prefers to put
his faith in the dcfenccS Of the city, and
intends to make Iast ditch" fight of il.
few, though only few, hold to the
opinion that he does not propose fight
ing at all.

land I'd yesterday, is expected to. reach
the front to- day Tho Americans arc in
excellent spirits, and there is a romarka
bic lack OF sickness. Thus far tho wator
supply has been good, and there have
been no bad effects of the change cxcept
IL few cases Of dyscntcry
NO IMMEDIATE ATTACK.
No aggressive move by tho Americans
is anticipated for several days. The road
to the base of supplies must bo greatly
improved before tho onward mnvnmnmt
can be safely made.
~ present it taxes tho quartermastor's
department to tho utmos to get provis-
ions and ammunition. Last night
one pack train arrived with slip-
plies sufficient to last until tonight,
and rs this dispatch is being
written another train of ammunition
is coming in. A train of ammunition
has reached Gen. ChaIfc, and q battery
of Gattling guns and dynamite guns, at
taclrd to tho Rough Riders, has been
moved to Gen. Whcolcr's camp.
There is no high ground in tho present
position where lIotcllkiss or Gatting
guns could be put in position, but a lit
tic further on is ground where guns can
DC mounted, and from which an effect
i've fire can bc directed at the Spanish
entertainments.
