More Troops for Cuba.

A letter from Madrid says the Spanish authorities are preparing to send 25,000 men to Cuba in October, to fill the gaps caused by disease and death. The Ministers propose to raise the necessary funds to forward these reinforcements by another appeal to the association of planters and fluanciers who furnished the advance for reinforcements sent out a year ago. Their privilege over the Cuban customs revenue will be increased and prolonged to insure payment of the interest and annual sinking fund. The Ministers have allowed the Cortes to undf rstand that, if necssary, the Government will make even a greafey sacrifice.
