for repairs, though report says she is to

interference of the United States officials.
She is, however, closely watched by a
revenue steamer. • -
A letter from Spain, said to be irom a
trustworthy source, says the report that
reinforcements were being raised in
Spain and forwarded to Cuba, are either
wholly fictitious or grossly exaggerifteck
and all the reinforcements he bad heard
of after a diligent inquiry, were obtained
from about a thousand convicts, many of
them under sentence of death in Spain,
and—who, during the past month have
been collected at Barcelona and at the
point of the bayonet detained to await
the arrival of vessels to convey them to
