HAVANA, Nov. 7, 1868.
Not a handful, but twelve or fourteen thousand
men, well armed and organized with Dominican
and Mexican generals and officers leaders, hoist
ing the Spanish nag, demand for Cuba the same pc
ltical rights now enjoyed In Spain as the result OF
the last glorious revolution The Captain General
has opposed this just claim with twelve thousand
soldiers Of all arms, because that gentleman wishes
to maintain Cuba under the government
Of the dethroned Isabella H., in whose name
justice is administered here. Her protrait is still
hbted at the courts and public Offices the oficers
bear the initials Of the ex-queen on their caps and
uniforms, the oath Of obedience is still administered
In her nae and at the last lottery drawing she was
warmly hurrahed. The present Captain General is
therefore in open rebellion against the Spanish gov
ernment and the liberal party Of this country both
Spaniards and native Cubans, are determined to
in the nation.
The so-called insurgents have not stolen single
cent nom anybody. What they have taken to relieve
their necessities has been paid In cash or with
bonds which will be paid as soon as the revolution
triumphs- They are not inccndiaries. The only
burning which has occurred is that Of the little vii
lage Of Manati, and It was done by the shells Of
the troops OF the Captain General which fell
on the frame houses. 1t Is In the interest OF
the Captain General and his followers to
Dia,so de- Ia Marina says daily that they are out

the country; The object is to alarm the owners Of
slaves and the ignorant people, who fear the loss of
their life and property. With the same purpose of
alarming they spread the rumor that the negroes Of
whites and on the 22d nit. an order was given to fire
cannon and designate the places which were TO be

where 1t was said there were arms concealed. The
government moreover has secretly issued proclama-
tios some melting the negroes to rebel and kill their
owners some abusing the native Spaniards and
purporring to be written by tho Cubans, and utce
derive advantages. BY splitting the party they rely
on victory. Their determination is to maintain this
island under the despotism Of their Queen ana mis-

The so-called insurgents occupy now all the East
