LATEST FROM HAVANA AND ST. DOMINGO.
The steamships Columbia and De Soto, which
left Havana the same day, arrived at New York on
Sunday morning with dates to the 20tb. The De
Soto made the to Sandy Hook in three DAYS
fifteen and a half hours.
We indebted to NJ. G. A. Fuller, purser Of
the De Soto, for the following important items:
The health of Havana was good. There are some
cases of yellow fever in the city, and OF fatal type
but vet the shipping has not suffered to any ex-
tent. Weather very warm, and some heavy rains,
but not continual.
The latest from st. Domingo was not fully iru-
parted to the public, the newspapers restrict
ed in their publications; but rumors in the street
indicate that Spain has undertaken responsibilty
very far from being easy to herself or acceptable
to the body of the people of St. Domingo.
1t is said that five important towns in the inte-
riOr have fortified themselves and, with the assis-
tance of the Hay ITEMS intend to resist the Spanish
authorities.
1t is also said the inhabitants of one village were
mastered by Spanish troops because they refused
to allegiance to Spain.
A report exists that force of Spanish troops
defeated by the st. Domingo and Hayten
troops This is not probable.
The account in the Havana papers is to the effect
that Gefrard had invaded the Dominican territory,
but had been vigorously met by the enraged coun-
try people, who are represented to be boiling over
with enthusiasm for their new mistress. Generals
Santana and Alfan and the distinguished Morocco
hero, Col. Fert, had left for the frontiers at the
head of a considerable body of troops.
Vessels, troops and munitions OF war are now
being sent from Havana to reinforce and aid the
armament now at St. Domingo. The most intense
excitement exists IN regard to the dtcutes IN tue
