HAVANA, August I, 1868.
Ths vera Crus newspapers brought us by the Spanish
mall steamer from Santiago do Cuba, although in the
wrench interest," be relied for the only details we
get from that quarter According to these auhori

say the successful party grows stronger, while the de-
fsated and weaker is daily losing friends and sup
porers No will be surprised 70 learn for instance,
that General Dobado Governor Of the State Of Guanaua
o and General Iguaco Comonfort cxPresident OF the
spublc, begin think their bread is battered the
trench side, and will benccforth support the 'nter-
vention," as IL is called. Among any other peo-
ple perhaps, the detection OF such men might
astonshmcnt but the leading patrots Of Mexico
rise above vulgar scrupes and act not with valor but
With lie better part-discretion. safe conduct had
been forwarded TO Comoufort and according the
rom the capital, he hourly expected in that city.
He wants TO be hand when the titles and dgntes Of
the empire being distributed, and win put in for
oouushp at least. Juarez appears, is still at San
Inns issuing DEGREES without army enforce them,
against powerful enemy who upsetng his authority

The oncial paper Luis confirms the reported A.
iack made on Generals La Lave and Orega by the escort
which accompanied them resulting in the death Of the
former. The details show that robbery the motive,

eight thousand dollars he found TO ncommode him in

vision Of the gold fell 70 tho ground and attracted
ihe notice OF the escort few moments afterwards
Ia Lave received bali in the region Of the spine, and
oil from bis horse, crying TO ortega TO himself.
The wounded General survived days, while contnu-
ng his journey TO San Luis In litter which had been
provided for him by those OF his who did de-
sert was reported that 0rtcga also badly
wounded, but since find mention made OF the
fact In the Official paper, from which have
taken these details, IL may be presumed
that be escaped without injury, especially when Vera

years Of msrue have made such acts familiar to
excite longer any horror adherence among the
people, where the OF the law has been weak

Every day proves ana more that there Is no

forced evies himself speaks volumes for tho
popular feeling.
