The news Of the insurrsction at Puerto Principe
arrived at St. Jago on the 9th of July, but the ac
counts were very vague. The correspondents write

Of the City Council Immediately called when the
doyeInor General Msnzano announced that he had re-
ceiyed dispatches from the Governor Of Las Tunas but

Queens funds from thcstreasry in the third that he
does not know shat 70 do' and that he will have to

The reason Of this movement - sn account which
was yesterday received from Che Lieutenant Co
of Les 1unas, stating that squad Of thirty
five armed men had presented themselves in the
village, who, after having exchanged number of
shots with each other by mistake did nothing more,
and retreated in hurry, being, no doubt, afraid

For the attainment Of such noble purpose, the
