CUBA.


IMPORTANT FROM CUpA-The New York Sun.
of Monday, contains the substance of letter
from Port Principe, dated May 4th addressed
to a Cuban gentleman in that city, who vouches
for its truth and correctness. Nine of the most
eminent, talented and wealthy citizens of the
place were arrested before day, and taken un-
der close guard to the dungeons of Moro, in
Havana. Their names are Joseph X. Betan-
court, lawyer; Ferdinand Betancourt, lawyer !;
Manuel Arrange, lawyer; Joaquin Rivera, law
yer; Francisco Varona, planter Francisco V.
Batista, planter; Francis Querada, planter |;
and Salvador Cisnero, planter. The pretence
under which they were arrested is, that they
we're engaged in the revolutionary movement,
now on foot in the island. The arrests were
made by order of the Captain General to Senior
Leimerich, the Governor The officers are also
in pursuit of Senior Solitario, of Cunaquez, Sc
nor Augustin, Joseph Castillo and others. The
correspondent of the Sun represents the excite
ment throughout the island as intense, and
thinks that the outrage will arouse the whole
population to sense of their danger and the
necessity Of resistance to the Spanish despo-
tism which now rules only to oppress and ruin
them.
REVOLUTIONARY FEELING IN CUBA-Spanish
Opinaons.--The Savannah Republican has some
translations Of extracts from Spanish letters
from Havana, received by the Isabel. They
come by private hands. After vouching for the
entire truth of its assertions, one dated the 9Th
instant says:
+ Hourly, nay minutely, have we been anxiously
waiting to hear the joyful tidings of your being
landed on the isle, or at least on your way. Do
not believe for a moment the rumors that you
will receive no aid here on the island. Many
Spanish officers and soldiers, independent of
the Creoles, will join the Patriots as soon as
they land; and could |, without endangering
the lives of many Of my friends here, would
give the names Of some of the most influential
and wealthy planters on the isle, who have
pledged their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor
in the contest-such names as would make the
throne of her royal majesty tremble. The day
will come-and that, too, ere long-when Cuba
pM be free! But still fear for our friends
here, for God knows if the least suspicion is
thrown out they will suffer, and that terribly.
| HAVANA, May 8.--'s Monies de 0ca, the un-
fortunate individual who was the victim of the
barbarous government of Spain, met his fate
like a hero. r......r. ....a
90 Previous to his execution the Captain GEN
eral, Concha, gave him nine days to denounce
all the patriots on the island, and promised him
his liberty and large sum Of money but he
only replied that he would sooner die thou
sand deaths than denounce his friends"
TROOPS IN CUBA.-There are more regular
troops in that small island, probably, than in
| all the continent Of North America-they num-
Der 25 900. Besides this great armament, there
are also several ships and war-steamers around
the coast-we know not how many. Such are
| the props of despotism and oppression.
