HAVANA, September II, 1862.
Erents in Cuba, By an escaped Creole, a member of
the "Vos del Pueblo"
Affairs have now reached such crisis that it
seems impossible that the whole world should not
thrill with horror and compassionate humanity, and
ezclaim with grief as soon as the truth shall have
become known. For it ia indeed time that some
measures be taken in behalf Of the Cubans, whose
noble natures and the state Of refinement to which
ahey have attained entitle them to better lot
The unhappy Cubans now treated more shame
fully than ever by the despotic and cruel govern
Inent Of Spain. They want to annex themselves to
these infamous Yankees, says that government, but
m no way viii it ever consent to it. No, it will ra-
ther to prevent this, extinguish all the Cubans Sc
cretly destroying some, poisoning others, Danish
ing thousand innocent men, inventlng conspiracies
under Of which its officers can fling into prison
those who may be deemed dangerous. In word,
they have resolved to do away with the Of Cuba
and are stIaDing their utmost to elect this. Be
the means what they may, they are all good, pro-
rided they tend to the accomplishment Of their I'M
holy end
II has been lately invented that varous individuals
Of Vnelta Abajo were getting up conspiracy.
This fable has alone been sufficient pretext for
the government TO seize and throw into the carto-
iinas Of la Punta, the Moro, and other prisons
two hundred individuals, among whom to be
found lawyers phS sicans, writer's &c, men whose
so:ial condition and influence, founded on their
talent, had aroused the suspicion OF government
But DC real valid excuse ever having been given
BY these to warrant such course against them,
this false conspiracy was taken as a cloak, under
cover Of which they have ventured TO arrest, as
Ne have already said, over two hundred individuals
without including in this number countless others
seized in this city, and other ports Of the island 1t
will suceto say, however, that the prisons and dun
geons are no longer capable Of holding the peTsons
