Latest rhass. of ths Cuban plnieuIty.


Latest Phases OF the Cuban DiAicuIty.
The accounts from Cuba continue TO be Of ii 9
most contradictory character. Now thew assume
one hue; anon, another. The Philadelphia Ledger
justly observes:
" The statements Of the patriots and of The oo
vernment are so opposite that the truth cannot be
reached. The address of the LiberatinQ Society of
Puerto Principe is a series of victories obtained bv
the patriots. In one encounter Mt San Miguel, on,
the 18th ult. they represented TO have annihi-
lated seven -eighths OF royalist detachment. and
It is said they now number 1000 men, GOO horse,
and four field howitZers. This, If true, is force
enough. with the additions which they may expect
from other sources, TO give Concha considerable
trouble, especially if the troops disaffected
to the government cause represented. We
know not how to reconcile these reported victories
with the other fact vouched for, that many of the
patriots are coming in. seeking the government
clemency There is Justification somewhere The
next advices may furnish the truth"
The New York Express of Saturday gives the
subjoned account of matters and things pertain
ing to the insurrecton and the liberating cxped-
tionists:
The following despatch from our Boston corrc-
spondent, telegraphed last night, makes the Prin-
cipe part OF the reported "insurrection" very in
significant and contemplate affair. We give it

"BosroN, Aug. S.--A letter received by one of
the first mercantile firms in this city, dated Trim
idad. Cuba, July 20, says: You will probably
hear exaggerated accounts ofinsurrectior in yari-
Gus parts OF the island. In this place SO men pro-
ceeded to hill near by, and raised the standard
OF independence. They were pursued by the gov
ernment troops, and portion OF them surrendered
without resistance and begged for mercy; the rest
fled into the woods. This is all the rising there
has been i'll this vicinity. The correspondent also
says that whatever outbreak there was has been

BALTIMORE, Aug. S.-Letters have been received
from responsible source at Havana, which were
brought by the Georgia, to gentleman entirely
disconnected with the Cuban movement which
pronounce all the statements put forth by the gov
ernment as false.
There is great excitement at Montgomery (Ala)
IN favor OF the Cuban insurrection. number of
persons were leaving to help the struggle for indie
pendence.
But no matter how insignificant or immense this
revolution" is is going to be, our New Orleans
and Mobile friends are determined to die game.
The following despatch confirms the statement,

Ii is stated that the Spanieh consul de-

Inns being the case, the next news we have will
probably apprise us of an engagement between the
invaders and the Cuban naval forces that at last
dates had been despatched from Havana-un-
doubtedly to meet them. IL will be an unfortunate
business for the ''illibusters" if the Pampero is
not a wift-saing vessel The speed of the little
Creole saved their necks the last time they en-
gagged in this business The fates may not always
be 80 kind. However. eleven hundred men make
up quite respectable army; but if able to light
well on land we don't see what sort of combat
they are TO maintain at sea, if they attacked.
AT all events, it is tolerably certain now that
there is some fighting to be done, and we may keep
lookout, therefore, for news of an engagement at
any moment.
the expedtionists at New Orleans were expecting
reinforcements from kentucky The Louisville
papers received have some dim hints that such cx-
pectations were disappointed. But the Journal
there ID somewhat more explicit The editor says:
a great many men Will go at least attempt
to go to Cuba for the purpose of joining the insur
gents in that island, but they will do with per-
feet knowledge of the views and determination of
the United States Government. We have no OBJ
lection to their going to Cuba if they can find
means oil so doing without violation of the laws
and the national obligations of the United States;
but In the event of their falling into the hands Of
the Spanish authorities, they must not expect and
