The situation in Cuba remains much the same.
The noteworthy event of the past week has been a sad and unfortunate shipwreck which occurred on October 16th.
On that day a Spanish steamer was wrecked off the coast of Pinar del Rio, while making the trip from Havana to Bahia Honda.
The Triton, as the steamer was called, was carrying soldiers' ammunition, money, and mules to be used against the Cubans in Pinar del Rio.
According to all accounts the steamer was so heavily laden that when she started her decks were only a few feet above the level of the water.
