Spanish soldiers, chiefly infantry, but
with a fair contingent of cavalry and
field artillery from the surrounding
country. During the daytime the cav
airy skirmish in the vicinity Of the
city, returning at night to barracks.
During the last few days the activity
of the Spaniards has been particularly
noticeable. Oxen teams have been
making their way to tn ebatteries, de-
tachments have been working on en-
placements and there have been other
signs showing that the Spaniards have
been preparing for a desperate resist
ance. Some guns from Admiral Ger
vera's ships may be removed to the
forts.
The insurgents, about 1900 strong,
have taken Il position on q mountain
to the westward. Two thousand in
surgents of this gathering are I'M
armed.

teen miles inland, is making his way to
the coast.

ating with the insurgents. Yesterday
Gen. NIiniet, of the insurgent forces,
and his staff went on the New York for
a long conference. The naval officers
have been doing splendid and daring
work in carrying communications to

plies on shore and otherwise gaining
information.
Lieut.. Sharp, of the Vixen, and Lieu
tenant Commander Delhanty, of the
Suwanee, have been daily entrusted
with important missions and have car
ried them out successfully. The Vix-
ems work has been chiefly confined to
carrying messages to and fro, but the
SuWanee has been occupied in more
serious task. This little gunboat has
landed 100000 rounds of small arms
ammunition, 300 Springfield rifles, 100
carbines. 1000 machetes, with equip
ments and provisions. These were
handed over Wednesday,, about fifteen
miles west Of Santiago. to about 800
insurgents who came down to the
beach, the main body remaining in the
mountains. The debarkation Of sup
plies was tedious but important.
The insurgents reported that skir-
mishes between their forces and the
Spaniards were Of daily occurrence.
The Cubans were hard up for ammuni-
ton and supplies and were overjoyed
at the sight of the Suwanee's cargo.
