hanging in Choctaw, and at CASTOR, in
Sumter, the carriage containing US was
fred upon and hit several times. IOu-
ble-barreled guns and rsvolvers we're
used. This occurred ia the day time in
the streets OF the town. We saved our
lives by fast driving. The Republican
canvassers have been similarly treaced
ia other sections OF the State. We can
nave no fair election in many counties
without the presence of United States
troops.

I The Tribune publishes the following
letter from the Cuban Revolutionary
Junts:
To Editor of Tribune
Having observed that you have hith-
erto published al the Spsui-h official in
t~eliigeuce in regard TO the revolution
uOw progressing in Cuba, we beg leave
to call your attention TO the fact that the
official accounts OF the state Of sfiairs
are 10 the main false and entirely unre'
liable. Deprived as We ara of freedom
OF the press, the majority Of the inhab-
itants, even of this city, are unscquainted
with the real facts Of the revolution in
Cuba. So far from having died cut, II Is
steadily pr crossing and will only lie
cut when Spanish rule will have expired.

SUMMARY OF The PROGRESS Of THE
REVOLUTION.
HAVANA, October % -Boyams, HOl-
quien, JebOra, Los TenuOs Y0ra, and
J~orquanai, all in the Eastern Depart
ment, are in iEsurrectiOn against the
Government.
The Government has sent four bat
! Lhl1OIe Va AEEA1NlYy OBG EAuhlIDn VI CAF-
airy and q full field battery to these
points. The revolutionists have divided
in small bands, with the view to carry
on a guerrilla war until their forces are
strong enough to cope with the Spanish
troops, with a fair prospect of success.
A considerable baud ia stationed in the
neighbOFhOOd Of Santiago DeCuba and
another near Puerto Principe. The rev.
O%lutionisis have burned several plsnta-
tons, and have taken negroes with them
as a~uXiliaries. In several skirmishes
with the Spanish troops, c%reoles, both
white and blacz, have fought brsvely,
causing heavy-lOss to the Spanish. Gu
bans all over the Island are enthusiastic,
but are in want OF arms. Several Cnbans
have been arrested in Havana on sus-
piciOu. They are confined IN Moro
Castle. In parish Jesus Maria forty me-
grOeG were arrested last night for having
arms in their possession.
October oath, 8 a.m,-Trustworthy in-
formation just received states that the
guerilla chief OF the revolutionary band
has with him four thousand whites and
six thousand negroes. The artillery sent
ron this city has stuck ia the mud.
Heavy rains have fallen in the eastern
department. The reVolutiOnists have
full sway IN q large section Of country.
The Captain General is pushing forward
fresh troops in ell haste. OIe of the
Spanish mail ships has just been char.
tered TO carry troops to the scene of &C.
tion. Great enthusiasm ana confidence
prevails among CubaDs. If the measure
should become necessary it is their fixed
determination to declare immediate
emancipation, and cRll upon the negroes.
A Havana letter to the World says.
TAe total strength Of the insurgents is
variOusly estimated at from 200 to 500.
They are ~Wretcbedly armed, and COM
prise, contrary TO first reports, blacks and
Chinese as we'll as whites. Their leader
is Don Pedro Acquiller.
The present lines extend from Mogue-
qua State, two leagues beyond Tunis, TO
near the villoge ~Jisguansa embracing a
wild, broken section Of cJEDtry, admira-
bly, adapted to irregular warfare, and in
which the difficulties to be overcome by
troops pursuing are greatly increased by
the badness of the roads rendered almost
unfit for travel by the late heavy rains.
Despite all these drawbacks the Govern
ment will esriy succeed in establishing
order, is assured beyond the point of
cavil.
Gen. Blair addressed q meeting of the
supporters of S. S. Cox last evening.

from Gen. R1se1raBs:
Please correct an error of your Wssh-
ington special, in saying: Gen. Rose
