And when the stars began to shine
From out the ether, blue and deep,

It's high wrought hopes, its vague desiEeIj

Shall look their last on things Of eayth.
I know, ere morning dawns for me.
The silver cord Of life may break

And if die before I wake

Revolt in Cuba-ExcTtement in
Havana-'PrOOPs Sent Against
Ihe InsurG ents-A Fight Ensues
Government Troops Desert 10
1he Insurgents. lH, . t'f'l.
BALTIMORE, July 9.-The Sun publishes
an account of a general revolt in Cuba,
brought by the Captain of steamer which
arrived from Havana July 4th. The revolt
Is said to have occurred at Porto Principe,
news Of which caused intense excitement
in Havana.
The authorities at Havana paid no atten-
tion to the rumors OF revolt until news
came that portion OF the population had
declared for the independence Of Cuba and
q separation from the Spanish Government.
On the lst inst. military force, consisting
Of five companies'stationed at Porto Prin-
cipe, was sent against the insurgents to
bring them to order. A fl ght ensued, in
which the Colonel was killed and two other
officers mortalIy wounded, while three
companies OF the Spanish soldiers went
over To the insurgents. The latter, thus re-
infOrced and numbering 1000 men, proceed
edto the mountain region.
The moment this news was known in
Havana three steamers were dispatched
with troops to the place of revolt, but be-
fore they were fairly on their way, which
was on the Sd, the startling intelligence
arrived that four steamers with 1000 troops
on board, made their appearance near Nua-
yios, bearing the Chilian flag, and effected
alanding in the vicinity. All the discon-
tented thereupOn proceeded to the place of
rendezvous, and it was believed the revolt
had its ramifcation throughout the whole
island. rrrr-..rrtD ---...-
Among those who left Porto Principe
were about 1000 negroes, who it is asserted
were advised by their owners to join the
insurgents. The whole affair was looked
upon as general revolution of the natives
to free themselves from the Spanish rule.

Chilli, Peru, Bolivia and Ecquador are said
to have formed aleague to free Cuba from
Spain, and an application was made to Ven

The three first named are to furnish the
money and the others men, while hopes are
entertained of help from the United States
by the emigration of Southerners through
Florida.
Advices from Bogota announce the in
stallatiOn of the new President MOsquera.
He disapproved the act of Congress max
ing certain annuities to nuns In considera-
tlOn of the conservation of their property.
The Senate insisted on carrying out its
measure, and the result was that an armed
mob paraded the streets, entered the Senate
chamber, and by threats compelled Con-
gress to sustain the veto Of the President.
This was thought to be the first step to-
ward Mosquera's declaring himself perma-
nent dictator. Everything denotes Il speedy
revolution throughout the republic, but il
MoSquera's does not die he Will probably
fight his way through.
Matters look gloomy along the South
coast. Great dissatisfaction exists in Chill,

take place. Peru seems on the verge of a
