CHICAGO, August 7.-Sing Man and
Chay Chew, our Chinese visitors
were entertained with a. private ban
duet at the Sherman House last even
ing, which was attended by our lead
ing citizens. j. NJ. Richards, Presi-
dent of the Board of Trade, presided.
! Speeches were made by MIR. Richards,
| Alderman Wicker, Hon. n. Ii. j udd,
and others, and ebay Chew. The
speech OF the latter was a gem: Eleven
yeats ago l came from my home In
China, to seek my fortune in your
great Republic. l landed on the gold
en- shores of California utterly ignor-
ant Of your language, unknown to any
of your people, a stranger to your
customs and laws, and in the minds
of some, an intruder; one Of that race
whose presence was deemed a posi-
tive injury TO the public pros
perity; but, gentlemen, I found
both kindness and justice. /
found that above the prejudice
which had been formed against us,
there is favored deep, broad stream
of popular equality; that the hand Of
friendship was extended to the people
of every nation, and even Cinnamon
might live and be happy, successful
and respected in free America Ap-r
plause. I gathered knowledge In
your public schools. l learned to
speak as you do; to read and write as
you do; to act and think as you do;
and, gentlemen, I rejoice that it is SO
that I have been able to cross the
vast contiueut without an inter
prefer; Gapplausel that here in the
heart OF the United States can speak
to you in your own familiar speech,
and tell you how much, how very
much, / appreciate your hos pitalltg;
Applause how grateful i feel for the
privileges and advantages l have eR-
joyed in your glorious country, and
how earnestly | hope that your exam
ple,of enterprise, energy, vitality and
national generosity may be seen aud
understood as l see and understand
it by our government. Applause.
Mr.. Burlipgame had done much to
promote a good feeling In China to.
wards the American nation he made
himself acquainted with the authori-
ties at Pekin, and he won their
confidence to a remarkable degree.
He is an excellent man, andI believe
If his advice IS received and acted
upon, China will soon be q cordial
friend of all the commercial powers OF
the earth. Already we are doing
something in the way of progress and
modern improvement. Steamboat
lines have been established on our
rivers, and now we want railroads
and the telegraph. This wonderful
sovereignty of the western hemis-
phere, where the people rule, and
where there is an ever proclaiming of
peace and good will to all, has taken
the lead, and China now must brush
away the dust of her antiquity and look
across the Pacific, and behold and profit
by the new lessons of the Few world.
Applause. We trust our visit, gen.
tlemen, may be productive of good
results to all of US; that the two
great countries of the East and West
China and America-may be bound
forever together In friendship, and
that a Chinaman in America may find
like protection and like consideration
in their search for happiness and
wealth.

HAVANA, August 4--via Key West,
6th.-Intelligence from Santiago de
Cuta to the Both ult. reports that the
authorities there seized the American
mail, which was to leave for the
United States via Havana. m-
Prominent citizens who had been
released from confinement have been
again arrested, by order of Count
Valmasada, and sent to Mazanillo.
Despite the fact that some of them
are dangerously sick, they are COM
PEELED to travel by land to Bayarus,
where military courts are the only tri-
bunals.
Three hundred soldiers, under Col.
QuirOs, all that remain of the Reno
regiments, had arrived at Santiago de
Cuba. They form part of an expedi-
ton which is to be sent in search of
Torrenor and $50 Spanish soldiers,
who have not been heard from for
some time, and fears are entertained
for their safety.
Sixteen volunteers of the mobilized
fcsoe, stationed on the Victoria farm,
deserted and went over to the insur-
gents. @
The negroes on the various estates
are suffering for want of food, and are
becoming troublesome.

The Cuban Junta in this city has
received official information from
General Cespedes, in relation to the
reception of the news of the late
arrest of the Junta by order of the
authorities in Washington. In the
patriot army it represents the feeling
produced to be one Of satisfaction
that our government was about to en-
forceA Abe neutrality laws with strict
ness and impartiahty on the Span
iards as we'll as the Cubans. They
ask that Spain shall be prohibited
from making the United States Tepub-
lie an entire port from which to send
arms aud munitions OF war, to be
used against them, and they, on their
part, Will be content to fall under the
same bar, so confident are they OF
coming out of the struggle victorious
if Spain be the only power they have
10 contend against.
There are rumors In Cuban circles
that a deputation of native Cubans
are now at the court Of Spain endeaV-
oring to persuade that government tC
sell the Island to the insurgents, anG
it is believed that Gen. Sickles made
similar proposition, which was re
iected with indignation, and this re
lection was the cause Of the promp
action of the President in ordering
the seizure Of gunboats. It is ru
tmofed that Gen. ,Rodas, despairing o
snbd1ing the Insurgents, has invites
