| the 18th ult, publlshesan official statement
relative TO the outbreak at San Juan The
commander Of the government troops there
says in letter to the Governor, dated July
10th:
have great pleasure in manifcsting to
your excellency that at IL o'clock to-day
the individuals, the list of whose names |
send you. who were taken from the party
OF highwaymcn who proposed themselves
to distusb public order, have been present
cd to me; and ! can assure your Exccllcn-
cy that this viii be the cause Of the com
plete defeat Of theirplans, as the discord
has entered in the camp Of the few; accor-
ding to the information of the individuals
composing this party, when they said they
did not want TO remain any longer, sixteen
or eighteen others followed them, and the
party was dissolved. ID. Nepomuceno
Barroso sent to me the following document
and ID. Manuel Nuncx the letter which fol-
lows. What say to your Excellency is
reported by the individuals before me- l
have them, arrested, and viii send them
to the party Of Santa Cruz, where they will
be kept according to the disposition ofyour
Excellcncy.
Here follow the letters alluded to-,
which state that they, Barroso and Nunez,
having accd' nally met ,thcinsurgcntsw were
forced by them into their service. Barroso
says:
"Thcy passed through different places
ofrhe party, carrying the men whom they
encountered, and threatening 10 kill those
who should make any resistance. But
when we were united and could speak, we
wanted to go back; but they frightened us
BY saying that the government was aware
Of our desertion, which it would never be-
licve forced, but voluntary, and that we
should Immediately be shot. But when
they put in our hands your proclamation,
1t was easy to see the Joy expressed by all
composing our party. We were nearly
crazy. and sworc 10 die before we would
be separated from the government; and
that oath is profound and sincere, and
hope that the supreme government viii be
penetrated with my innocence, and respect
to the laws"
Nuncx says substantially the same as
the above. In consequence Of these re-
presentations, Governor Lemcry issued a
proclamation, offering pardon TO all the in
surgents who might surrender and formal
ly protest that they had been led off I'M
willing into The revolt, promising, never
thcless, not to do so again,and not TO attend
any suspicious meeting on pain of severe
punishment.
A correspondent of the Herald, writing
from Ncuviias, July 9th says:
"This revolution, ofwhich You have pro-
baby been inundated with accounts, was
badly planned and badly executed, as the
rising was not general. The official account
ofthc battle is not altogether correct The
troops lost seven killed; the number of the
wounded is unknown The natives had
three killed and three wounded. The fir
ing lasted three hours,or until night closed
in, when the troops retired. The rcvoIu-
'tionists,twenty-iour in all,were commanded
by Aguero Aguero. The troops num-
bered one hundred infantry and twenty-five
lancers. This is the revolutionists' report
and | have reason TO believe it is nearly
correct.
The proclamation of pardon has had
some effect. -Four of the insurgents pre-
scented themselves to the Governor Of this
port on the 2lst, and are now prisoners.
1t is expected that all who come in and
present themselves will be pardoned-
There are now only six, including their
chiefJ oaquin dc Agucro,out in the woods,
and these are surrounded by troops. 1t is
said that they are reduced to the necessity
of delivering themselves up or perishing
with hunger.
In my opinion, the Instruction is at an
end for the present.
The Herald adds: We are informed
that the natives have lost all hopes for
while at least The movement has increas-
ed the feeling of hostility among the Span
iards against the Americans, at whose door
the whole affair is laid. 1t was said at
Nuevitas that the whole movement was
shockingly managed-that by mistake in
the password, in attacking the Governors
house at Los Tunas, the patriots actually
fred upon each other and killed seven Of
their own party.
According to private advices, the par
don extended to those who would surren-
der to the government will not result very
happily to those who were unfortunate
enough to accept of its terms. Ten or
twelve had been sent from Neuvitas to
Havana, to be imprisoned in the Moro.
1t is reported that most ofthe papers Of
the patriots, with the names of those en-
gagged in the cause, had''fallen into the
hands Of the government
