THE NEW CAPTAIN GENERAL OF CUBA AND HIS
POLICY.
NEW York, Jan IAN Havana special to
the Herald, dated 31st, sa,s:-Captain General
Lersundi, in his address to the people of this
island, confirms what was generally believed
here, that the Queen and her Ministers, know
ing the gravity of the situation and weighing
divers circumstances in connection with the in
terests of the Antilles, were anxious to entrust
them only to one whose antecedents could not
bring him in conflict with these interests, and
that after solicitations he consented TO ac cept
the charge. He expresses the hope that the
future will have happier days for the people of
Cuba and expects blind obedience and com.
plete abnegation on the part of the troops,
and from the loyalty of the people themselves
the means necessary TO carry out sood adj
mInlstration of the island. In the circular to
the district Governors he recommends the most
Jealous vigilance in regard to the suppression
OF the slave trade. Public opinion ON that
SUBJECT, he maintains, is now overpowering
a auu me most severe penalties should be en-
ever. rre. -. '- "
measures are being taken to expedite pro-
packed the remains of their victim in a tin box

NEW YORK, Jan. IA correspondent in
Peru having effected an entrance into the be-
sieged city of Arequipa the headquarters of
the revolutionary force, writes under date of
Dec. 8, from that stronghold, and having again
effected his exit writes from the headquarters
of President Prados national forces, besieging
the city, under date of Dec. z. In the CITY of
Arequipa the means of resistance and defence
were very meagre. Food ahd ammunition
were scarce.
The cannon balls fired at the town are saved
for a return shot, and the citizens are at work
casting the church bells into mortars The
heaviest firms in the town are English houses,
and the British Consul at Islay had arrived to
protect them from threatened forced loans. On
the side of the Nationals everything was pre-
pairing for bombardment. Thirty guns were
In position and a two hundred and fifty-pound-
er was expected daily.
Banditti were providing in numerous bands
throughout the country. Balta, the revolu-
zionist, was descending on the port OF Chocata-
go, but the Minister of War had left Lima
with fine army 10 circumvent him. Com
merce had received severe blow from these
troubles. Three large English steamers were
lying idle at Callao, and business houses found
1t impossible to collect debts in the interior.
A speck of war had arisen between Peru
and Brazil. Works of defence were about be-
ing constructed along the border, and naval
officers had been ordered to the Amazon.
