Yellow Fever Aids Cubans.

New York, May I.—A Herald correspondent at Nassau, New Providence, says: "News has been received from Santiago, Cuba, that the ravages of yellow fever, on which the insurgents rely to aid them in securing independence, are already apparent in the ranks of the Spanish forces. Many of the soldiers are daily dropping out of the ranks, victims of the disease. Physicians here predict that this will be the worst yellow fever season for many years. The rainy season will soon begin. Then the roads will become impassable even for the infantry.”
