~ Letters have been received III New York
with an account of terrible tragedy recent
ly enacted at Havana, and which caused a
sensation of horror throughout the island OF
Cuba.
Matilde Dominguez the victim, an actress of
celebrity, whose grace and beauty, added to
her YOUTH attracted scores of admirers to see
her performances, appeared before crowded
house on the night of the 22d inst and early the
next morning 1t was reported that she bad been
assassnated by her husband, who committed
the crime in fit of rages-stabbing her about
forty times with dagger,-after which he at
tempted suicide by intlIcting wounds upon his
own person with the same weapon.
Upon making inquiry, 1T appears that some Of
the unfortunate female's admirers had not ad.
mired in vain, and it is even said that very
great parsonage had been favored by her acqui-
escence; however, the husband, in cases where
benefits accompanied acquaintance, in which he
participated, sqIandering the fruits of his wife's
.amiability at The gambling table, felt no jeal-
.ousy; ON the contrary, named the price that
should be demanded.
The canse of the tragedy was, tbata litiie ugly
employe of the theatre, with whom the deceased
was much enamored, was unprodnctive, which
raised the fury OF the assassin, and after much
quarrellipg, the mqrderer. on the morning in
question. having written during the night seve-
ral letters, in which he is supposed to have de-
clared the motives Of the dreadful crime he was
about to commit made an assault upon her,
and dispatched The poor creature ith the num-
Der OF stabs have mentioned.
The house locked, but an entrance was
forciby made-the most revoltng scene was
presented in the expiring person Of the beauti,
ful but frail favorte, all hacked aud gashed, and
covered with her blood.
1t is a singular coincidence that the mother of
the victim met similar fate at the hands of her
husband and that both father aqd mother be.
longed to the stage, and the father also died by
his own hands, Immediately after the deed; apd
it is even said that the crime just now commit
