Hie casualities were the result of a brush on the previous night with Cpanish cavalry. | To the correspondent of the Associated press on die dispatch boat Wanda, Ensign Gilpin, (escribing his experience at the camp, which is abut ten miles inland, said: “I found the insurgents a rough looking and mixed lot of boys and old men, rigged out in any way, carrying arms of all sorts and all anxious to borrow everything I had, Lena my blouse to my revolver. Four Spanish soldiers in uniform, carrying i ifies, marched into the camp while I was there and said tney wanted to join the insur gents. They were enrolled, but a close watch was kept on them, is they belonged to the civil guard. A Cuban officer told me • uch conditions were not infre quent.
