The New York Herdid's Havana CORES pondence
OF the 7th instant contains the following:-
Not handful, but twelve or fourteen thou
sand men, well armed aud organized, with
Dominican and Mexican generals and ohcers
as leaders, hosting the Spanish flag, demand
for Cuba the same political rights now enjoyed
in Spain, as the result of the last glorious
revolution. The Captain General has op.
posed this lust claim With twelve thousand
soldie1s of all arms, because that gentleman
wishes to maintain Cuba under the Government
of the dsthIoned Isabella II, IN whose name
justice is administered here. Her portrait is
still exhibited at the courts and public offices,
the officers bear the initials OF the ex Queen on
their caps and uniforms, the oath OF obedience
is still administered in her name, and at the last
lottery drawing she was warmly hurrahed. The
present Captain-Genera ls therefore iA open
rebellion against the Spanish Government, and
the liberal party of this country, both Spaniards
and native Cubans, are determined to psrtake

The so.called insurgents have not stolen

taken to relieve their necessities has been paid
in cash or with bonds, which will be paid as
soon as the revolution triumphs. They

after an insurrection was invented in the public
Jail, where it is said there were arms concealed.
The Government, moreover, hss secretly issued
prOelamations, some melting the negroes to
rebel and kill their owners some abusing the
native Spaniards and purporting to be written
by the Cubaus, and uice ve''sd, thus creating
animosity and hatred 10 order to derive advan-
tages. BY splitting the party they rely on
victory. Their determination is 10 mantain
this island under the despotism OF their Queen
and mistress.

ing them and their Valor and skill there is no
doubt OF the success OF the Liberals. They have
established their government and headquarters
at Bayapo, which they stormed and captured,
with the Lieutenant Governor and 400 men of
his command. Colonel Lono and his column,
con posed of 1900 men, were defeated. Lono
OF the prisoners captured at Bayamo and at
the engagement with Colonel Lono almost
all have adhered TO the cause OF the In
turgents. Colonel Quiros and the 1900 men OF
his column were decoyed into the interior aud
are now surrounded by 1000 Liberals, who have
not extermnaed them because they only desire
a surrender, which Is daily expected. SO strong
are the Liberators of Cuba that they have sent
LAWYER Don Luis Fernandez de Castro to treat
with the Captain General. The conditions are
that they will ground their arms as soon as the
liberties proclaimed IN Spain are granted IN the
island and militia of the citisens ls organized.
Yhe General has received the envoy, aud he Is
detained and deprived OF communicating
with the people ut the office OF the Chief Of
Police. 1t is rumored that this gentleman left
last night with the GeneralS who is second IN
command who has Instructions TO make COM
promise with the insurgents. All this sho VS. the
truth Of our assertions and Is corroborated by
the DtdrtO de Ia Marina, an official paper which,
in giving the news of the departure for the in
terror OF the General Count OF Balmaseda, says
that he is ouly authorized to effect on the field a
solution favorable to all II that solution IS
realized it cannot be but in liberal light and
shall have been obtained, not by the will of the
Captain General, but by the force of arms of the
Liberals, with whom the country sympathizes
with all its heart.
But in the meantime the blood OF brothers is
being split, and animosities, which are always
detrimental to the true interests OF the country
are created The enlightened Spanlards and
the good men among them side with the Cubans.
The Ignorant, guided by their countrymen who
have become wealthy by being engaged in the
negro trade in partnership With the Government
and derive advantages from the present order of
things, are opposed. What would become of
them the dag when, the press being free, their
thefts and iniquities should be published? These
bad men are the counsellors OF the Captain
General, whom they biibed before he came to
this island by presenting him with shares of the
Spanish bank amounting to $5O,OOO. This is
veil known and appears from the books Of
the bank. From such counsellors and q
N an who has publicly said that his heart and
his sword are for Isabella III, what can be
expectedY About fifteen days ago some forty
of the most respectable persons OF this city
called on the Captan-General, and stated to
him the situation of the country, the necessity
of procalmng in Cuba the liberties prevailing
in Spain, and that the Eastern Department
would lay down arms, avoiding in time much
m sfortune and bloodshed. A Cuban and an old
Spaniard spoke warmly on the subject, and be-
