HAVANA, October 25.-Steamer Villa
Clara has arrived from Manzanillo, bring
ing several prisoners. When the rain ceases
columns OF infantry and cavalry will leave
MaDzanillo against the insurgents. A COM
bination of forces with those under Calu.
mel, hero from Tunis, will be formed,
which will completely surround the insur-
gents in Maniti.
About one hundred and fifty insurgents
attacked a gunboat which had just arrived
at Maniti. The gunboat responded to the
insurgents fire, causing them to retreat.
Before the insurgents lett Maniti they COM
mitted some acts of vandalism and burned
the town of Maniti.
Lersundi issued orders to hurry forward
reinforcements. Last night the police
brought to the city, from Cienfuegos, as
prisoners, Juan Gusman, Dalliveau and
Laguendia, a government. official who. while
pretending to act as guide, carried the
troops into an ambush. These prisoners
are reported to have been concerned in the
murder of the gems d'drmes who were made
prisoners by the iusurrectionists. City
quiet, though the citizens are little un-
easy at the alarming reports now being
circulated. Lersundi has taken every pre-
cautionaTy measure to insure tranquility.
Cubans demand the right to hold meet
ings, which Lersundi refuses for want of
instructions from Spain. All the available
troops have been sent from Havana 10

parade of some Democratic clubs, a diff
Guilty arose and two colored men were
killed.
Last night the negroes assembled and
killed a man named Pablo Felio and

We are in receipt of letter from
prominent planter, who says:
October 26, 1868.
We have terrible times in this parish.
Murder has been committed on both white
black, and add to this the burning of Pablo
Filio's bakery.
There is large gang Of armed white
men in this parish. am under guard OF
one of their own number in nv own house.
The negroes in this neighbor6ood have ali
fed into the woods.
Can not some troops be sent into this
parish at once? They are wanted here to
preserve order.
The Sheriff is reported to have fed the
parish.
General Rousseau has already dis
patched troops to the parish and we feel
little doubt but that order will now be
preserved.

Loyal Americans HHmIIiated by Reverdy
JohnsOh's sUbservIency-The Protocol
on the Alabama Claims.
New York, October PA special from
London says: Loyal Americans and En-
glish friends of the United States are gall
ed at the recent proceedings at Liverpool.
They think all disputes should be settled
first, and then soft speeches. johnson is
too anxious to go out of his way to make
such speeches. Engli,h enemies should
show repentance and hold love ieasts after
ward. He went too far in being taken up
to Laird for introduction, greeting him like
an old friend and going with him to see the
yard where the Alabama was first built,
and fraternizes too much with rebels here
and English enemies to the United States
who flock around. Hence loyal men must
keep aloof. He misrepresents the senti-
ments of the majority at home, and places
the United States in humiliating attitude.
LONDON, October 25.-There is good
reason to believe the protocol agreed to on
the Alabama claims provides a commission
of eight English and eight Americans to sit
here and examine every claim presented
and argued by claimant, whether English
or American, in person. or by counsel, and
make award thereon. The question of in
ternational law is to be submitted to the
Gar. The protocol awaits Secretary
Stewards approval.
