The NJ Y. Tribune this morning contains

thousand men and greatly excited the fears OF

with great enthusiasm. The insurgents had pub

forward and claimed their pardon.
Balmaseda will Immediately march, 1t is said,
on toward RayamO, as part OF his forces are in
that neighbOrhood, and he expects to capture a
good number before his three columns shall
have met. Campillo commands one, Lono
another, and the remaining forces are under
Bslmaseda's own immediate orders. The whole
amount to between 5000 and 1900 men. The
rebels of all the towns aud villages in the insur-
rectionary district alone hold BayRmo.
In letter of the 14Jh instant mention was
made of the Generals OF the insurrectionary
army, and also ofthe one who was looked up to
as Commanderin Chief and President, or head
man. 1t does not seem that any government
has been organized, or hardly attem lied. Aud
now comes the news in a letter addressed by, it

from having come to Havana, as the rumor had
with bills Of credit for $500 600, has sctuD
ally written letter to one OF his
commercial friends in Manzanillo asking
him and the business men OF that place to give
their adhesion to the movement, and insinuat-
ing, in said letter. that there was a disagree
ment between Cespedes and himself Their
plans, 1t appears. could not be made to agree.
Aguilera, it is said, is now. or was recently in
The vicinity Of Santiago de Cuba. But more
the rumor runs that several Others OF the chiefs
wish 10 lie at the head of affairs, and that there
is a considerable split among them Further,
that Cespedes has written one or more letters to
Havana to some OF his friends who were to
have got up movement here and to others
them of abandoning him, or what Is equivalent,
OF falling in their promised duty.
Now, you will observe that these are rumors,
and in the absence of positive facts nothing
10 ore is known. There has been no movement
in the West, except the AFFAIR at Calendaria,
and that was suffoosted in moment. Let IL
be said however, in this place, that the insur-
rect1On extends over 8 large scope or country,
and is q matter of serious concern. 1t Will not
do row TO ridicuie 1t as a small affair, To be
sure, in one sense 1t is, yet, but ior all that
IL has caused an immense destruction of
property, and the Government will have to
employ strong means. to crush It.,
Colonel Lono lately made q march with his
column to Port Minau in order to get provi-
sions for the troops at Tunas. His report is
Interesting. Marching out OF the former place
with his trains he was attacked at various
points on the route, but invariably from behind
trees and busues. AS soon as the insurgents
fired they Immediately left in haste. They did
not stay to receive his fire. He sailed out at
different times and captured parties, and some
of their flags Their banner is q sun on q white
field with stripes of different colors. Two or
three only Of his force were wounded, as the
enemy shot, seemingly, without any attempt
at accuracy. The rumOr OF the surrender OF
some 200 hundred Spanish troops near Santiago
dc Cuba has not been confirmed.
Yesterday five Americans and one Creole
who arrived in the Blenvlle were seized by the
police before they got ashore. The proper in
formation upon which this acIion was based
had been received in advance of their arriv val.
