Successes of the Government Troops In the
West-M0vements of the Commanders.
SANTIAGO DE CUBA April %, 1868.
BY way OF Kingston we have advices from Western
Venezuela 10 the 9th. They are highly favorable to
the government, though some allowances must be
made for their coming mainly from the partlsans Of
President Falcon.
General Leon Colna, with 1000 men, had taken
Calabozo from the insurgents, badly defeating Rufo
Rojas, who commanded there. General Colina with
most OF his troops, was now marching to the central
portions Of Aragua to reestablsh order and tran
quillity.
OF General Manuel Bruzuals division, came up with
body OF insurgents at La Culebra, in Aragua, acd
easily routed them; while another column from the
same division, under General Matias Salvador, met
with equal success in an encounter with the enemy
at Guigue.
The governments victory at Turmero appears to
have been a substantial one. Since then the rebel
leader, Miguel Antonio Rojas, has been negotiating
with General Trias for a truce, wnicn was supposed
to be the preliminary to his submission and the re-
turn OF himself and remaining followers to civil life.

ceeded down stairs. He found his mother lying In

Several neighbors were hastily summoned and Dr.

about I'D o'clOck-the young lady, for
reasons best known to herself, conclud-
ed to spend the night with one of her
chums; and proceeded thither without
having entered the house or spoken to
any Que at home. The large figures
Of the night wore away and the small
ones were at hand, when the family
with whom our heroine was staying
were aroused by ''some one knocking ut
the door" In reply to whats want

whether any one beside her own family
was within. Having been answered In

simply this: The mama hearing the

into hours, she became uneasy, anxious;
and finally sailed forth In quest Of the
missing. Proceeding to the home Of q

steady and respectable young man was
given her fears were somewhat allayed;
but she insisted on his being sent for.
Accordingly he was aroused from his
slumbsrs, brought before the anxious
part i)ent, and called to account for the
absent fair. This he could only do by
q search, which terminated as above;
after which, all parties retired once
more to their virtuOus couches, en- route
