REJOICING OF THE CUBANs. eXllcd
Cubans in this Cty were beside themselves with de-
hlht yesterday, on account of the exciting news
from Puerto Principe. We understand they have
received private adylces which confirm al the sue
cesses claimed by the reyouionists In the after
noon they formed themselves into procession pre-
ceted by a band Of music playing national airs, and
paTaded through the streets. Their leader wore
broad silk sash, of the Cuban tri-color About five
o'clock they formed in Spruce-st. IN front Of The
Tribune Office, which they saluted with hearty cheers
We return our thanks 10 them for the patriotic
enadc with which the band favored us, and whose
inspiring strains half tempted MS 10 JON their ranks
Overlooking with enthusiasm, they then continued
their course but about dusk returned, bearing with
them, and over them canopy, the broad banner
Of the Cuban reyOlutOnlStS. The design ot TINS
banner is a red triangular piece, with white star IN
the center, ne 1t the staff from which extend alter
naie blue and white stripes The flag was large
enough TO cover the little delegation OF patriots, who
crow ded under 1t and clung 10 It's folds with as Ar
dent a devotion as If 4. were already consecrated by
a victorious struggle They afterward passed into
the Park with many cheers, and then 10 their head
quarters.

seemed rather paler than usual, though still bright
and clear The portion clipped out Of the suns disc
by the intervening moon apparently covered about
one-fourth Of It's diameter We hope the astronO-
mers IN Norway, Sweden and Russia have had equal
ly favorable weather for their observations.
