CUBA RryoLuTIoN.-By an arrival at
New York, the Herald has received a
letter, dated Ncuvitas, Cuba, July "a,
which SAYS
The Revolution, Of which YOU have
probably been inundated with accounts,
was badly planned and badly executed
as the rising was not general. The
troops lost seven killed; the number OF
the wounded is unknown. The natives
had thrcA.illed and three wounded.
The firing lasted three hours, or until
night closed in when the troops retired.
The revolutionists, twenty-tour in all,
were commanded by Aguero Y Agucro.
The troops numbered one hundred intan-
try and 20 lancerS. This is the revoIu-
tionsts, report, and have reason to
believe it is nearly correct
The proclamation of pardon has had
some effect. Four of the insurgents
presented themselves to the Governor
of this port on the 21St., and are now
prisoners. 1t is expected that all who
come in and present themselves will be
pardcncd. There are now only six, in
cludiug their chief, Joaquin de Aguero y
Aeuero, out in the woods, and these are
surrounded by troops. It is said that
they are reduced to the necessity of de-
ivering themselves up or ptrishing with
hunger. In my opinion, the insurrtc-
ton is at an end for the present.
