Nuevitas, on the north coast of the prov
bombarded by the ships of the blockading
squadron, evacuated by the Spanish and
subsequently burned. No details are
known, and the only information of the
affair was that given to Captain Maynard
of the gunboat Nashville by Lieutenant
Colonel Rojas of the insurgent forces at
Gibara last Tuesday. Colonel Rojas him
self had the news at second hand, although
he carried private dispatches from General
Garcia, which were delivered to the COM
mander of the Nashville.
The only American ships known to have
been in the vicinity of Nueyitas lately
are the Prairie and Badger. The latter
captured three Spanish vessels coming out
of Nuevitas harbor, and took them to Dry
Tortugas. All were flying Red Cross flags.
but when boarded were found to contain
a number of Spanish soldiers, only three
of whom were sick. The Badger is ex-
pected at Key West shortly.
The steamship Tabasqueno, flying the
French flag, was captured by the Hawk at
Sagua la Grande Saturday and brought to
Key West yesterday by Ensign Schofield,
Cadet Kear and a prize crew of eight men.
She is Mexican ship OF 800 tons, and was
bound from Vera Cruz for Sagua loaded
to the matches with coal and provisions.
and also carrying number of mules
Captain Androcka was In command, with
a crew of twenty-nine.
The Hawk took her without difficulty,
and also went into the harbor after a

into working order, un l., penalty of i'm
prisonment, and IN less than that time the
engines had steam up AMI were ready to
move.
The Spaniards will probably retire as far
back as AiboTito, about thirty-fve miles
on the road to San Juan, where they are
likely to make a stand IL they receive re-
inforcements. They left here entirely with
out artillery, which makes it even more OBJ
v;ous that an attack at this point was
never dreamed of by them. Net q gun was
n ounted. The garrison was small and
poorly armed. All the guns, with one ex-
&C ption, that we're abandoned in the
arsenal when they beat their hasty re-
treat Wednesday night were Remingtons
and Mausers.
There was not mine in the harbor at
Ponce although two ancient affairs, COW
cred with barrels. were found at Puerto
de Guanica. These had been placed there
years ago, and resisted every effort to ex-
Dlode them.
1t is evident from the wholesale deser-
ton on the part of the Spanish volunteers
that Captain General Macias must de-
pend In the last resort upon the regulars.
These do rot number over 5000 IN the
whole island, and everything thus far in
dicates an easy conquest. Gen. Wilson
thinks he could take the island with his
own troops unaided, and he predicts that
IL the troops now expected arrive Porto
Rico will be ours in less than three weeks.
