citizen Jose Morales Lemus, the president Of the
Juna and representative Of the government OF the

nant voice OF the people, OF the tenor OF resolutions
the 15h 17t 10th and Goth ult, issued by the resi-
dent Spanish General in Havana, purp0rtlng to
seize the property OF citizens Of the republic OF
Cuba, without respect TO former rights or contracts,
and, moreover, Mortified al the determination pro-
claimed by Count de Valmaseda to imprisOn all
native Cubans found in the district under his COM

soldiers without any consideration for children and
women to burn and pillage peaceful dwellings, &C..

The Junta and the special representative of the
government Of the new republic consider 1t their

more valuable. as means OF communication should
the island be redeemed from its present unfortunate
position and started the road OF progress IL is
said that the company organized for this undertak-

cables IN the islands Of Cuba and Porto
Rico for period OF forty years, and that
subsidies for term Of ten years have
been voted by the various colonial governments
OF st. Thomas, ST. Kits, Guadalupe, Martinique
Barbados, Trinidad ana Demarara, amounting
IN the total to over 900 per annum Further sub
sidies are calculated upon from other neighb0rng
governments. The length OF the several cables re-
qured for this work amounts in the aggregate to
1850 miles, and the capital OF the company is fixed
at s4oO 000 In ten pound shares 1t Is said that the
