THE LATE REVOLUTIONARY DEMONSTRATION.

THE LATE REVOLUTIONARY DEMONSTRATION.
HAVANA, March lO.-The Sdgud newspaper of
the 9th INST publishes the following regarding
the late outbreak at Villa Clara, which trans
late literally
Our meritorious civil guard has Just rendered
an important service. It appears that band of
highwaymen, consisting OF some fourteen or
sixteen foolhardy individuals, armed with cut
lasses, knives, and muskets, attempted a rising
at Villa Clara, or some point in that district.
Their intention apparently was to get up sort
OF maraudlng expedition, and their suspicious
proceedings created considerable alarm in that
peaceful section Of the island. They first made
their appearance in the Calabazal dstrict but
information of their arrival having been re-
ceived by Don Jose Hernandez Galvez, COM
manding the civil guard in that district, he I'M
medatey started in search OF them with por-
ton of his force, and, supported by the lieu
tenant commanding at Cientuentes, he came
across them at point called Taguayabon, IN
the district OF San Juan de los Remedies.
Some shots were exchanged, and finally, the
civil forces succeeded in capturing twelve OF the
insure ents among whom were Don Ventura,
Resell, Andres Lopez, Maxine Guerra, Antonio
Rodrigues, and Augustin MILAN. They were
taken to Remedies and duly delivered to the
custody of the civil authorities to await trial.
The parties implicated are stated to belong to
the respectable class of society. Vii LA Clara,
where the demonstration took its rise, is town
of considerable importance on the north side of
Cuba, distant about SIXTY leagues from Havana.
Its situation is favorable for revolutionary
movement as IQe EASTERN pOTblO0 OF Ine Island
is the most mountainous and the most disaf-
fected, being inhabited by manly class OF coun-
trymen, termed gredjaros.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
From, the Prensa of March 7.
The report which we copied yesterday from
the Sdgud, regarding the capture of number of
individuals suspected of being ABOUT to get up
marauding expedition, turns out to have been
greatly exaggerated. The truth of the matter,
as we have learned from sources worthy OF Gre
dit is as foll0ws:-Some dozen OF more indi-
viduals were drinking together in tavern
(bodega), when one Of them, being excited by
his potations, expressed himself in violent terms
against the Government, and lieutenant from
Taguay abon, who was present, rebuked the
man, and, fearing that the dispute might end in
violence, the civil guard were notified, who,
meeting two of the party coming out of the
tavern, arrested them for carrying arms without
authorization and after inquiring the names
OF the Others, they arrested them also, and
handed them over to the officers OF justice at
San Juan de los Remedies. Upon investigation
it appears that the man whom the lieutenant
had reproved is addicted to drunkenness, and in
the habit of talking wild when under the inhu-
ence OF liquor, and that the others belong to the
respectable class of society, having never offend
ed against the laws.
THE CARGO OF AFRICANS.
The Spanish war steamer Neptune arrived here
this morning las stated in my letter forwarded
by the Moro CaSae), having in tow q coasting
schooner with considerable Aumber of Afri-
cans on board. 1t is reported that the blacks
were transferred from brig which landed
seven hundred of them at San Antonio. The
owner not appearing they were purchased by
Senor Marty at the rate OF fifteen ounces ($225)
each. The total number OF Africans taken by
the Neptune is estimated at nearly one thousand
five hundred souls.
The British steamer Boliuian appeared off the
port the evening before last, from New Orleans,
and the Captain not understanding the sign ais
from to MORO fortress mot to enter at night, y
was fred at with blank cartridge and had to
wait till next morning.

THE CIGAR TRADE.
An exposure was made some time ago by the
European press, denouncing the ingenious

the great injury of the genuine article, both in

cigars for reinportation.

time, under the direction Of the proprietor
