From Island No. 10

CAIRO, March 25.

Tribune’s Dispatch.

The gunboat Conestoga just arrived.

There are no change in the position of affairs at Island No. 10.  Mortars are firing irregularly and very moderately, about once an hour.  The rebels do not reply.

There is no signs of evacuation of the Island.

The enemy, so far as can be discovered, are in full force both on the island and on the main land.

The river is rising.  Nothing of importance from the Tennessee.
