New York, May 1S.-A dispatch to the
World from Nuevitas, Cuba. by way OF
Nassau, N. P, says:
Chaos reigns at Camaguey and
famine at Neuvitas. Every boat in this
harbor steam and sail, has been
damned into the narrow channel, to be
sunk at the first sign of an attack.
Two thousand soldiers guard the
entrance. u miles from the city and
four old cannon have been mounted on
an island in the harbor.
People are starving. Salt pork costs
a dollar and a half a pound, rice 90
cents and goats bring 500 each. The
Spanish commander told the starving
citizens to go into the country, as he
could not feed them. Many soldiers are
joining the insurgents to get food.
The conditions at Puerto Principe
are still worse. The surrounding forts
are almost abandoned.
A column of 5000 SpanlardS started
for Moron, carrying a flag of truce.
When fired upon by the insurgents the
commander sent word hat he was no
longer making war uDOn Cubans, but
was going so the coast to fight Ameri-
cans.
General Lopez replied Spain cannot
fight the United States without fight
ing US. Their war is ours" and again
opened fire.
The SDaniards lost 900 men in the
four days march to the sea. Pacificoes,
spongers and fishermen are being
pressed into the Spanish service. The
Spanish columns on the way to the
coast are burning all the country
homes.
President Masso has ordered Generals
Gomez and Garcia to meet himself and
cabinet at Moron trocha, where there
viii be a concentration of Cuban
forces.

Blanco Describes Defeats of Our
Troops In Cuba.
Madrid, May 1S.-General Blanco's
dispatch describing the engagement at
Cienfuegos, says: THE Americans
fired over 600 shells while they at
tempted a landing with large boats
towed by steam launches. Some of the
boats landed their men, but the latter
were energetically and VIGOROUSLY re-
pulsed all along the line. The Ameri-
cans were compelled to hastily re-em-
bark and withdrew with considerable
loss, retiring in a westerly direction,
after five hours fighting. The attack
was made in combination with bands
of insurgents, who have been put to
flight. Our losses were only two killed
and II wounded
General Blanco's dispatch also says:
AT the same time they were attack
ing Cienfuesos, an attack was made by
the Americans on Cardenas. One of
their larger ships anchored about a
mile from the quayS and the enemy
then attempted to land troops, but our
forces, consisting of volunteers and two
companies of infantry, compelled them
to desist. Our Sunboats disabled one
of the enemy's destroyers and compelled
the remaining ships of the squadron to
leave the bay.
The garrison had five wounded and
about ten were wounded on board the
gunboats. Little damage was done to
the town. The attack had been planned
in cooperation with the insurgent
forces who were recently defeated at
San Miguel. have congratulated both
the troops and inhabitants of the town
on the strong proof they have furnished
of their loyalty to Spain. Many of the
Americans while trying to disembark,
fell under the Spanish fire, and at Car
denas two of the inhabitants were
killed by shots from the enemy
