THE REPORTED REvOLU-
TION I'm CUBA.

u
Telegraphic dispatches in the New
Orleans papers Of the 26.h uls., furnish
the following reports:
From the Picayune.
THE CUBAN REVOLUTION
VICTORY OF THE PATRIOTS!
SAVANNAH, July 25th.
The steamship Isabel has arrived
here from Havana, bringing news to
the 22d inst. We learn by her that The
revolution in Cuba progresses fayorably
TO the cause of the patriots. The Faro
industrial gives a report of the com
mander of the cavalry regiment of the
centre, Don Joaquin Aguero, in witch
he saws that he encountered and defeated
the insurgents on the 5,h inst. Letters
received here state, on the contrary. that
twenty-one of the Spaniards were kill
led, and the remainder fled, and thar the
patriots lost three killed and five wonn-
ded. The letters also state that pronun-
ciamentos have been made at Holsuin
and Tunas.
Gen. Cont was attacked while eros
sing the river Najaza, and defeated,
with the loss Of 100 men killed and If
ty drowned.
The Gacefa, in noticing the first ac.
iion, says that the patriots defeated the
Government troops.
Fears of revolt in Matanzas are en-
tertained. -
The same paper, of the evening of
that day. has this additional dispatch:
FULLER ACCOUNTS BY THE
$ ISABEL.
CHARLESTON, Friday, July 25th.
The steamship Isabel has arrive,. at
her wharf. The accounts which she
brings from Cuba are contradictory.
Letters received from creditable quarters
assert positively that many towns are in
arms, and that the insurgents have orga-
nized their forces to the number Of s.
600. Ii is also stated that in several
actions the Queens troops have suffered
severe loss, and that the insurgents were
about to declare Provisional Govern
ment. So great Is the alarm Of the
Spanish authorities. that they open all
letters passing through the mail.
An express received on the 22d by
the Captain General, at Havana, from
Puerto Principe, the 18th, reiterates
the statements that party Of the in-
srrgents, headed by Don Joaquin Ague-
70, had been beaten and dispersed by
the Governor of the Eastern Depart-
ment, with the loss Of FIVE killed. The
same Spanish accounts state that five of
the insurgents were killed; that many
horses and arms were captured, that
numbers of the patriots had surrendered,
and others were willing TO do so on re-
ceiveng assurance Of pardon. Another
letter from Spanish source, says that
Havana and the rest Of the Island were
quiet, and that the rumors to the conira-
ry ale circulated only for the purpose Of
creating excitement in the United States.
Ii is stated that two spies have aria
we'd in the Isabel, being sent to watch
the movements Of the friends OF Cuban
liberty in the United States. One Of
them ID named Jose M. Blanco de Ia
'Fufa. ~

ure of some friends for whom he had
endorsed notes. The creditors had al
lowed her to keep everything given hel
by her father except the piano. She al.
so told her that although she might have
supported herself by teaching, she pre-
ferred working in factory 10 remain
ing among these who though they were
once intimate friends would consider her
after the loss of wealth, as far beneath
them.
Maria repaid Caroline by telling her
own history, and the reason for leaving
home and corrobroa ted her story by the
display Of trinkcts her father had allow
ed her to take.
Probably there never were two per-
sons who enjoyed themselves better
than these two girls. None but them
selves knew their history, and ar their
dispositions were not arrogant, they new
er appeared to be above their fellow la
borers. For two years thew remained
together, at the end of which Caroline
was married, and at the urgent request
of herself and husband, Maria was in
duced to leave the factory for while at
least, and take up her abode with them.
One day when Maria was engaged in
perasing paper which had been left at
their house, her eyes fell upon a para.
graph stating that Mr.. Stevens, who had
always been considered very wealthy
merchant was arrested and committed to
prison for committing heavy forgcries.
She handed i, to Caroline with shud-
der, exclaiming-"As l expec,edw-
The next paper brought intelligence tha,
no doubt was entertained Of his guilt,
and that Mr.. Grafton, il not entirely ru.
ined would be very heavy looser on
account Of his villainies, as he had loan
ed him large sum Of money. For a
moment Maria indulged the idea of i'm
mediately visiting her father-but after
consulting with Caroline; concluded to
write to him, which she did, begging his
pardon for not obeying him and request
ing him 10 receive her back again into
his arms, adding postscript that she
had one hundred dollars, which she
would send him If he was in need Of
money TO pay losses by Stevens. Her
father read her letters with feelings more
OF sorrow than anger, but at the end of
itbroke into hearty laugh exclaiming
--"Wel'. women are the best judges of
rascals."
In few days he visited Maria, ex.
pressed his regret for the sorrow he
caused her, and requesting her to return
with him. Maria complied with his re-
quest aud became once more the inmate
of her early home.
Her father endeavored by every
means to make her happy as an atone
ment for the past wrongs, and when
about year alter she asked his consent
to her marriage with a mechanic with
out wealth, he answered--"Do as you
please Maria, | have agreed to let every
girl choose her own husband"

CARvER's CAvE-near st. Paul. MN
aesota.-The Minnesota Express gives
the following description of one of Ma
lures Halls in that territory:
"Two miles above ST. Paul is what Is
commonly called Carver's Cave. It's q
few rods from the river in white sand
stone rock at the head of beautiful ra-
vine. This rock is about 80 feet high,
forming three-fourths of circle, and is
crowned with grass and trees. In this
rock is cave with an arched mouth a.
bout 30 feet high; and from the white sand
floor flows beautiful crystal stream
The is SO large that you can walk
erect in j. for 80 or 40 yards; when sud
denly you find yourself in room more
beautiful than could be made with all the
wealth of Astor. |. is circular, about Is
fee, in diameter, and is just high enough
for the greatest beauty. Its floor, and
walls, and ceiling are all formed of this
almost snow-white rock. In it's centre is
a large vase-smooth and white. and
polished as marble three or tour feet in
diameter, and about foot in depth, irto
which the water falls about two feet Gl-
ing the room ceaselessly with delicious
music.
at was supposed that this was the
cave in which Carver encamped some
days during his travels in this region and
from this il derives it's name. This
cave does not answer the description Of
the cave in which Carver encamped.-
That is below ST. Paul about mile and
its mouth Is nearly obstructed.
"This should be called Fountain Cave.
Let no one visiting Minnesota fail 10 see
Fountain Cave, for il is one Of the lions. "
