The News from Cubn.


Yesterday We gave some rather interesting intel
ligcnce from Havana, and TO- day we continue our
correspondence, with foundations from the leading
Havana journalsal OF which indicate that very
excitable condition of things exists in the city Of
Havana and throughout the island of Cuba.
The events Of the new crisis in that unfortunate
island seem 70 follow each other with accelerated
speed. The publication Of revolutionary journal
the arrest Of several hundred of suspected persons
including women of I'll ages, the fright Of the gov
eminent and officials of Havana, the resort to harsh
extreme and despctic measures, have all followed
each other in rapid succession, till at last they have
reached the eliminating point OF deliberate and
absurd insult to the flag Of the United States, as
represented by Captain Porter and the ship under
his command On this point we refer for particulars
TO the spirited and manly rsmonstrance sent by Cap
tain Porter TO his consgnees, and intended for the
eyes and intellecs Of the Governor and officials Of
Cuba.
1t is very evident taat the Spanish government in
Cuba and the Creole population utterly irrecon
cileahle In the struggle Of the one to maintain
despotifm, and Of the other to get rid Of it, the
present powers in Havana are very rapidly coming
into collision with American citizens, American
rights, and American ships. The exercise Of &C.
verify or injustice towards Creoles may excite sim
ply the sympathies Of the American people but tn
preparation of such an act as that exercised to
wards Mr. Smith, the purser of the steamer, or any
such acts emanating from the government of Cuba
will only the indignant hostility Of the Amer
can people from one end Of the republic to the
other, and ultimately force the American govern
ment TO take signal vengeance, ut an early day, Oh
any government in Cuba that dares to perpetrate
insults or injustice towards the flag Of this country
1.-THE Spanish government Of Cuba do not know, it
istime that they should know, that they are be-
ginning to tread upon a volcano when they interfere
with the rights of American citizens in this land,
or the freedom of public opinion within the limits
Of this country.
1t is very evident that the present Governor of
Cuba is comparatively ignorant of his position and
relations to the United States. We have hopes,
however, that the instructions conveyed to the new
Governor by recent arrivals in Cuba, will give him
little insight into the dangers which he is about
to run, in his endeavoring to visit with bis ven
geance the citizens of the United States visiting
Cuba for any purpose Whatever, other than that of
violating the neutrality OF the island
UNFORTUNATE JoURNALIs1-Too Much STRIPE
FOR PENNY. Tho penny paper which the Seward
clique started about year ago, under the manage
ment Of Monsieur Raymond, has made several
strong efforts, during the ~ year, to got into a
paying and profitable condition, and has now en-
tered upon its last struggle for existence and i'm
mortality, by doubling its sheet, inundating its
prosy columns, increasing its price one hundred pr
cent, and diminishing its circulation about half
At the commencement Of the enterprise, it was

scribed to pu. it through the Red Sea of peril and
disaster. II is generally supposed that Thurlow
Weed advanced SIC, 900 to this fund.- on the part OF
the Seward clique, and some brokers in Albany sui
scrbed the rest During the last year its expense,
according to its statement, have been 100000,
and its receipts according to the data it furnishes
in its columns, including circulation and advertise
mcnts, may have been $50 900, or perhaps $4,000
making dead loss, during the last year, Of si5,
OOO Thus, it will be that this clique Of poli
teal adventures have lost about 81 900 per
week in their silly experiment Of establishing
a newspaper in the face of all the other thoroughly
established and wel-managed journals Of this Metro
polls. Under the new effort they will probably lose
81 800 per week, for their expenses have increased
and the receipts remain much the same as they
have been for the year past.
They are preparing, however, for final extinction
after the result of the next Presidential election
We understand that Mr.. Silas G. Herring is the
principal patron now Of the journal, and that he
expects, with the assistance Of the Seward men
this city, to be q candidate for Mayor. Mr.. Ray
mond is also a candidate for Congress. and may be
nominated; but as to the election Of either, we
would not make many promises. The ricketty
penny paper is therefore transformed into q two
cent sheet Of squashand bunkum for the purpose Of
giving strength and influence to the last effort Of
its unhappy managers and supporters. The whole
experiment has been conducted With little talent,
less tact, no skill, and miserable foresight
