The New Orleans Picayune translates from
the Havana Gaceta some paragraphs, which We
quote below:
"During the last few days rumors have been
spread about by some timid persons, throwing
doubt on the complete re-establishment Of tran.
guilty in the eastern department We certainly
see not the slightest reason for such want OF
confidence We believe that the superstition has
been owing to the fact that the troops in that
district had lately made some marches and move
ments for concentration on certain strategetical
points We have reason to believe that the fore
sight of our chief authority which watches in
cessanty over the tranquility of the country, had
provided that strong lewiston of five regiments
of infantry four hundred cavalry, and twelve
pieces of mountain artillery, should be stationed
on the military line between the towns of Jigu-
All and Las Tunas, in order, in that position, and
in an imposing attitude, to await the ornaments
which, it was said, were being prepared by the
fhbus terOs in some of the Southern States of
the American Union, before the disastrous fate
which had Overtaken. rs was easy to forsee
would be the case, those who with their chief,
dared to land on the shores of Playitas, was
known TO them. The promoters of these prat-
ical expeditions being convinced of their impo-
tence by the severe lesson which they received,
being convinced also, that in this classic land of
Loyalty they would ever encounter only implaca.
Bile enemies, disposed to combat and ex,ermnate
them, and all prospect Of more invasions having
vanished it appears III 1t our captain general has
given orders for the division commanded to con.
centrate at Las Tunas and Jguani, to return to
their usual garrisons and cantonments in the
same order that the forces occupied before the
events which called them out. 1t appears, like
wise, that for the same reasons the portion of
the garrison of Pinar del Rio, which had left
that town, will soon return, when there will be
placed in that town full regiment for the pro.
lection of the laborons inhabitants in their agri.
cultural labors and their commercial transactions,
and to increase the benefits which the towns,
where there is numerous garrison, receive from
the augmented consumption of provisions and
other effects necessary for their subsistence.
The superior chief, who reigns in the name OF
her Majesty over the desnies of these fortunate
provinces of the mother country, attends to
everything with partial socitude and far.seeing
prudence.
The Diaria de la Marina contains long arti-
c'e from an inhabitant of Trinidad, showing the
evils which would result from annexation to the
United States. The writer says:
"Betw cen the characters of two people so
distinct there is an absolute disparity in every
phase of social life Among the North Ameri-
cans there reigns cold and dry egotism;
among US, Castilian frankness and generosity.
Among them, family pride scarcely exists;
among us, it reigns with imperious power.
Their customs are formed in accordance with
the laws; we have, and require legislation in
accordance with our customs. And when dis
lance so in mense separates US, how is loyal
or durable union to be expected or believed
possible
"What advantages could annexation bring to
their people! " hat future does it offer to the
Cubans! For them there would be new field
of discord, and new ally in the difficulties
which divide them for us, there would he au.
nihilation-the destruction Of our race"
