The Cuban RevoIution.
The New York Tribune publishes the
following letter from the Cuban Reyolu-
tionary Junta: go ~ "a sSas q ~ II 4
To the editor of the Tribune:
Having observed that you have ahithertoT
published the Spanish official intelligence
in regard to the revolution now progress
ing in Cuba, we beg leave to, call your at
tention to the fact that the official ac-
counts of the state of affairs are. in the
main, false, and entirely unreliable. De-
prived as we are of the freedom of the
press, the majority of the inhabitants, even,
. of this city, are unacquainted with the real
facts. The revolution in Cuba, so tar from
having died out is steadily progressing,
and will only die out when Spanish rule in
Cuba shall have expired.
Signed-- The Cuban Revolutionary Junta,
in session in the city of Havana, the 23d
day OF Oct. 1868. .'-.'Ai h.fi' s~iioiLa2t1loH
