The News From Cuba.


AS we anticipated, the news from Cub;
by the Cherokee is by no means decisive
What we have is certainly favorable to tht
Patriot cause, and that we have not more j.
owing to the vigilance of the Government il
obstructing all the channels Of information
The Royalist papers are full of official re
ports of encounters with the rebels, and
name several prisoners who have surrender
ed or been captured The last dates say that
the island is perfectly tranquilized, and that
arms, have been dispersed or have implored
the mercy of the government. This in is the
face of the facts, known toevery one, that in
all the serious encounters which have taken
place, the Patriots were successful, and that
the troops of the Government had not yet
made even a demonstration on the position
Of the insurgent forces in the mountains OF
Coscorro. The proclamations and addresses
which we published in our paper of last eve
ming, show conclusively that a number of
the inhabitants of Trinidad had ''pronounc-
ed in favor of the popular cause. IF we
may believe the assertions of the Patriots
themselves, they comprised FIVE hundred of
the most respectable and wealthy citizens Of
Trinidad. We published, last evening, their
address to the soldiers of the Spanish army,
in reply TO that issued by the Government
They addressed another to the E'Sons of Gu
ba,' of which the following is translation j:
