AdviceS from Isabella de Sagua, under
date of July q, report that on the previous
day there appeared before Marillanos an
American vessel, apparently merchant
man, which had been converted into war
ship. The pilot of the port went out in a
small boat to make reconnaissance. and
five cannon shots were fired at his boat by
the American. A gunboat which put out
from the port to reconnoiter was also fired
was a long distance off shore. During The
night the Yankee ship t-.rned her search
lights on the port.
In accordance with the determination of
the attacks of the American forces, the city
has lately been converted into Sebastopo
the city, and the most intense enthusiasm
is displayed among the regular troops and
the volunteers. Military exercises and drills
are being held constantly. All the forces
express a desire to measure arms with the
invaders and a determination to sell their
lives dearly, if necessary. in defense OF the
honor of their country. Judging from the
words and acts of the troops, it would be
difficult to find soldiers more willing than
those in Havana to suffer and even to give
up their lives as If they were of no value
when yielded in defense of their country.

 The refusal of Spain is considered to be declaration of war and that no declaration of war will be made by this country. although such declaration will no doubt be made later.
 The new army bill has been passed by congress and call for s0.000 volun- teer, will be made.
