WEST INDIES.

HAVANA, Dec 22-Iutelligence has been re-
ceived here that Col. Aguero Belancourt and
twelve other insurrectionists arrived at Nue.
vitas yesterday as prisoners; also that num-
Der of wounded Spanish officers and soldiers
had arrived at that town for medical treat
ment. All the journals are unusually silent
ON the affairs in insurrectionary Districts
There are many rumors of engagements be-
tween the troops and insurrectionists. One
report states that Col. Benegassi had been de-
feated in an engagement ne ar Halguin, but
the Diario denies the correctness OF this report
and asserts on the contrary that the govern
ment troops in that region have gained sue
cess. Nearly all the soldiers who lately arriv-
ed from Spain have been sent to the seat of
war. The report that the Inhabitants of sew
eral towns on the Havana Western Railroad
had Joined the revolutionists and that several
bands of insurgents had been formed are not
confirmed.
The Pals, newspaper, organ of the Cuban
Purd, suspended publication to-day. An edi-
torial to its readers says: We are not permitted
to treat with sufficiently ample liberty the
questions of vital importance to the country,
and the time when we shall be enabled to do
so seems far distant We have been obliged
when attacked TO renounce defence. The Cen
sor has always been hostile to our principles,
although the same privilege prevailed through
out the Spanish Peninsula. The pen is use
less in our hands, and under the present Cir
cumstances it would be incompatible to remain
in the editorial chair We prefer to guard the
most absolute silence rather than to attempt
our existence in the impotence to which we
have been reduced.

800 fresh troops to reinforce those now in the
