NEW YORK. Nov. l4.-The Herald says. re-
earding Cuba: According to government ac-
counts band Of twelve revolutionIsts were ar.
rested at San Christobal. They were preparing
10 create revolution In the Vielts Absja region.
A merchant OF Yora, charged with receiving arms
and ammunition for the rebels, had been arrested.

in which to lay down their arms.
"a private letter from prominent insurgent In
Cuba states that the revolutionary junta in Ha-
vsna has to destroy the property Of every in
diydual who shall, over his signature, oher his life
or wealth or protection In favor Of the govern
ment cause. In no other case shall the property
be attacked"
Recruiting for the Cuban expedition has ceased
In this city, Col. Gibbons having already enrolled
$500 men, which is 1900 more than he wants. He
alleges that the whole command is 10 devolye up
on wealthy Hsbsnese who Is famous as q mill
tary leader under Don Carlos and Macmillan, and
who 80 far has furnished all the funds necessary.
The intention is to annex Cuba to the Union. A

HAVANA, Nov. l4.-rhe inhabitants Of the city
of Puerto Principe and vicinity have united in an
address to Captain General Lersundil regretting
the depredstions OF the revoutionists and offering
their services TO quell the rebellion. The signers
of the address hope for speedy pesce, and be-
lieve that the initiation OF the refortqs given by
the mother country will soon bring about that
result. The document is signed by the most
influential portion Of the populati on-many of
the native Cubans, among them Vsrona. The
address is almost certain to exercise great infi1.
ence throughout the entire island, as it is well
known Puerto Principe has always been consld-
cred the principal stronghold Of Republican
Cubans.
The captain general denounces the statement
published in certain New York Journals, of his
having prohibited the American consul from shnd-
ing q dispatch by the cable TO Washington, asking
the American government to send squadron to
Cuba, and says the story is base falsebood.
The following is suthortatively given as the true
version of the affair:
The American consul wished 70 telegraph to
Washington that Puerto Principe had revolted.
The captain general, certain that the intelligence
was untrue, convinced the American consul Of
that fact, who Immediately and voluntarily with
drew the dispatch.
Dispatches from the New York Associated
Press announcing the attempt to organize flibust-
ering expeditions in that city and New Orleans,
were promptly received here. Captain General
Lersundi is also In receipt Of dispatches to the
came effect. All necessary preparations have
been taken TO receive the invaders. Spanish war
steamers are cruising about the coast.
Col. Quiros returned to Santiago de Cuba from
the insurrectionary district; he was unable to re-
main there any longer, as he was without pro-
visions and the region Is entirely bare. The cap
tain. general has received q dispatch from the pro-
yisional government at Madrid approving his
course in every particular. The dispatch men
toned the fact OF the appointment of Gen. Duce
as captain-g general of Cuba, who was nominated
on account Of the receipt Of the resignation OF
Iersundi.
