FROM CUBA.
Gen. Jordan and force reach the Cuban
Lines after Severe Fighting.
Interesting from the Seat of War.

| WASHINGTON, June g. Letters
from Cuba received here this morning
state that the force under Gen. JOr-
dan, late of the G.. 5. A, had succeed
ed in Joining the Cuban forces after
lseveral fights, in which the Spaniards
were repulsed with serious losses.
| The losses of Jordan were light, being
/ only forty-five in killed and wounded.
| He saved the artillery, arms and am
munitiOn he had with him.
HAVANA, June 3.-Gen. Pelais,
| whose life was threatened by the vol
unteers, went to CienfuegOes, but the
volunteers there refused to allow him
/ to land, and he was compelled to re-
turn to Havana, and on his arrival
here they made a demand for his life,
because he had sold his country, and
asserting that he had received Sl30,O 900
to allow some rebels to escape. Mar
ciSSa FscuSOre, Chief of AdminiStra-
ton, and Senior DiarrO, the Secretary
of DUlce, succeeded in compromising
the affair with the volunteers, and fur
ther Outrages were prevented, but
Yesterday evening the volunteers,
greatly excited, assembled before
Capt.-Gen. Dulce's palace and shouted
- Death TO Dulce," death TO Pc
laiSe;" and this morning committee
from the volunteers entered the pal
ace and demanded Gen. Dulce's i'm
mediate resignation, declaring that he
was allied with traitors, and the res
ignati0n of Capt.-Gen. Dulce was soon |
afterwards announced, and no act of
violence was committed. The VOlun- |
teers now have full control and are |
really the governing power of the |
island.
Several ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS and of |
ficers Of high rank, who are accused
of cOnniVing with the rebels, are TO |
be Immediately relieved Of their com
mandS.
The insurgents, in several recent en-
gagempnts, have gained slight advan
tageS over the Spanish troops.
The volunteers in MatanZaS, follow
ing the example of those here, assem-
bled At the Government palace, and
the immediate resignation
Of the Governor of MatanZas, and the
demand was aceeded to, and Col. Leon
is now acting a. Governor. No out
RACES were committed, and at last ac-
counts order was maintained.
The city Of Havana remains ex-
quiet, but the public anx-
iety is intense. \ Spanish steamer
has been ordered to be in readiness to
convey Gen. Dulce to Spain, and it is
expected that he viii depart in a day.

Particulars of the Indian Massacre at Eos.
sill Greek.

LEAVESwORTH, June g. The
Times and Conservative has received
the following additional particulars of
the Indian massacre on Fossil Greek:
The tongues and hearts were cut out
of the dead bodies of the men, the
calves of their legs were slit down and
tied under their shoes, pieces of flesh
were cut from their backs, pieces of
telegraph wire stuck into their bodies,
and their ears cut off and their scalps
taken,
John Park, Deputy United States
Marshal, reports that the Indians
boiled the hearts of these men for
medicine. The Swedish settlers
were also attacked on SpiIlman Creek,
all of whom lived in one house, and
only those were killed that left the
house and attempted to reach a place
of greater safety. Those that re-
manned in the house were not mo-
lested. This occurred in two or three
instances. The calamity is mainly
attributable to the lack of arms, for
whenever a gun was fired the Savages
made no fight. The Indians drove off
considerable stock from the above set
tlement. Gen. MOrehauser is here or
ganiZing a force Of militia.

A MOTHERS LOv
An ANeGtias scene at thskew York Emf
grant Depot

"Peeping Tom writes from New
York TO the PHILADELPHIA RepadlicHl;
"The scenes which meetsthe eye at
Castle Garden are often of the most
touching character. PassingA along
the main entrance this nIorningysI en-
cOuntered group (emigrants) consist
ing of woman and three children,
the eldest not more than nine years,
sitting huddled up together behind a
pyramid of passengers luggage. This
woman was weeping bitterly, and the
children had a vacant stare, betORen-
ing bewildeuneHt. Her story may be
told In 8 few words, She was a ma
tive of Birmingham, England. Her
husband had been in this country a
twelvemOnth, and had earned alOney
enough to send her to pay her and her
children'S expenses to New York.
After a long separation she had looked
forward with blissful anticipations Of
a happy reunion.
When the steamer came iutO port
she looked long and anXiOusly among
the crowd that were hurrying to and
fro taking care of the newcomers, but
she looked in vain. The husband had
written her that he would be among
the first on board, and that she must
keep,a look out for him. With strain
ing eyes and an aching heart, alas!
she kept her watch in vain-the poor
man (whO was a painter by trade)
having fallen from a ladder a few days
before and killed himself. The kind
hearted Commissioners, on being
made acquainted with the facts, did
what they could to comfort her. They
would get her employment in a good
kind family, and her children would
be sent to theSheltering Arms. But,
with tears in her eyes she asked me,
how could She part with her dear
boys? WhOwOuld take care of them3
Who nurse them" The mothers
love was strong even in the agony Of
the Wife's bereavement, and left her,
oppressed with the conviction that
sorrowful as are her experiences, they
would seem to be the toe. common lot
of the stranger in strange land. "
