Cuban Accounts from Cuba.

WASHINGTON, July lathe Cubans here
have instlrgent advices to the I'd instant.
The cholera had broken out among the Gu
ban forces in the Eastern Department, and
was very fatal. The vomito was very malig-
nant on the coast and in the lowlands, and
was telling fearully on the Spanish troops.
Quesada holds his own before Puerto
Principe, and expects to take the town and
the railroad to Nuevitas in a very short
time.
The Cubans had gained a decided victory
in st. Jago de Cuba district, which had been
much reioiced over. An engagement Of i'm,
portance and of decisive character was
deemed inevitable. General Jordan's com.
mand has so far escaped the pestilence.
HAVANA, July 14.-The weather is hot

The Rings that Rule in Washington.

From Fourth Of July Grafton ut Nenia, Ohio, by
Brcvct Brigadier-Gcneral Dom Piatt
Last fall distinguished journalist sent me
to Washington with instructions to look
impartially ut the transactions there, and
write the truth, regardless consequences.
did my best TO comply with his request.
| strove to lift myself above partisan con-
Siderations and feelings. and give to print 4
fair statement of all that could be seen. l
say it now us | wrote it then, with Il sick
cncd heart. that we have the most corrupt
Government in the world. 1t Is run by
rings. There is no moneyed interest III the
land that is without its rings i'll Washington.
We have railroad rings, landjobbln@ rings,
Indian Bureau rings, wllSkeY rings, pro-
lection rings. that branch eff in every con-
ccivablc dirccti on. And they were intrigu-
ing, caucuSsing, boring, and, through WINE
and women, batting without cessation.
do not wish TO be understood as charg-
ing that Il majority of our representatives
in Congress are dishonest men. On The con-
trarv, I was surprised to find that, living i'll
this atmosphere and under these influences,
there were so many pure and upright men.
But | will say, without fear Of successful
contradiction, that adding the incapablcs to
the rogues and they made the majority.
Not the least diSheartenlng part OF all this
is to be found in the utter indifference with
which the pubic III large regard ali Wis. =
is no longer shame to steal. 1t has ceased
TO be dishonor to dciraud. l saw senators
who came to Washington with scarcely
money enough to pay clearinghouse bills,
rolling over the street in splendid equlpa9eSS,
and entertaining society in palatial resi-
dences. They are now millionaires, and not
only tolerated, but followed, ilattered,
sought and sued by men and women who
would be honest were it the fashion to affect
that virtue and if you turn from men who
have made their fortunes out of their
places, it is to stare ut men who bought
their way in.

The NATIONAL CAMP-MRETING.-Th
meeting is still in progress at Round Lake,
New York. As already stated, Bishop
Simpson delivered IN able sermon on Sum
day to Il congregation of several thousand
persons. \ correspondent ofthe New York
Tribune writes:
After the sermon, which was in fact the
grand feature of the meeting, the grounds
were alive with speakers, many of whom
were ofthe gentler sex. The sermon which
pleased me best was delivered from an im-
provScd stand, in Fountain Square, by II
lady from Pawtucket, Rhode Island. She
told her simple story of trial and struggle
with so much unaffected earneStness, with
such womaniy grace and feeling, and III such
a sweet, sympathetic voice, that very few
who listened to her could refrain from
evincng emotion. A lady from Illinois also
spoke with great effect from the head OF Il
water-hogshead.
I'm nv ralnbles around the camp encoun-
tered 4 middle-agcd lady who had just but
ton-holed Il Withholding young blood from
Troy. How she scorched that poor young
man with her burning inyectives against
pride, and tobacco, and notwithstanding.
A little beyond this earnest speaker was
gathered Il knot of folks intcntly listening to
the sharp words of another female preacher.
She was mounted upon wagon, and her
untidy cap fluttered and tapped III the
breeze like the tattered banner OF some
veteran regiment returning from the war Ill
storm. / am sorry that l missed the best
part of this lady's discourse. There's many
i woman fair as she whose nouns and verbs
do more agree, but l doubt much whether
there are score in the whole land who can
give more earnest expression to their
thoughts than this same brave old disciple.
:. shame on YOU" said she, "shame on
YOU. Young woman with that braZen
headoear and that ungodly hump OH

mother tcached you to kerry through

aud sjcken your tobacker chawers with your
nasty mouthtul." And so on, one by one,
the old lady took up the ten command
ments and handled the intractors thereof
with rough hands. She was the plainest
tolkcr I ever had the pleasure OF nearing
for to me it was real pleasure to listen 10
tbe spontaneous outburst Of al honest Wo-
mans feelings; but when she got about
