Affairs in unvana-NIiIitary Operations and
Exccutions-The Great Fiiibustering FiascO-
The Captures I'm New York HarbOr Yesterday.
By the arrival Of a steamship which quilted the
port Of Havana on the 26th ultmo, we receive the
following news concerning the revolution In Cuba:-
YRlSnascdn's PrOciamatiOns.
Reports and news from various sources state

surgents, emulating, doubtless, the example OF
their dg)noble enemy, and animated by the
huge bonres Of the property Of the loyal Spanards,
contributing, as It were, with two-edged sword to
the work OF mutual destruction. Where this will all
end is easily to be seen, for finishing with the inn
provements existing and necessary to the develop
ment OF the agricultural resources OF the country
It reverts naturally to its former normal condition OF
wild land, unprOductiVe of wealth, and in some
cases even OF mere subsistence u either of the
cOntending parties Famine and all its terrible con-
sequences will follow fast on the heels Of this de-
sructive policy, and in many districts military opera
tons will have to he governed on either side by the
existing state of the respective commissary depart
ments. Should such state Of AFFAIRS ensue, the
Cuban will stand the starvation test longer than the
Spanard. The former relying solely for subsistence
on the spontaneous productions OF the country, will
fare much better than his Castilian adversary Yeri-
tying the truth OF the old adage that Zone mans
meat is another mans poison What the native
can live exceedingly well on viii only bring dis
guerrilla style ofwarfare so much in vogue among
all classes of Hispano- Americans is likely to be the
order OF the day before much time elapses.
Dispersed.o
The headquarters OF the Spanish forces at San
tiagO dc Cuba, through its chief OF staG Colonel
Carlos NJ. Rivera, announces that from bona fde in
formation and captured documents it is known that

sons All the war material landed by SAID party

Murder Of an Englishman.
Mr.. Robinson, son of an Englishman, born in Cuba,
was recently arrested and accused OF carrying cor
respondence into the rebel lines He was tried and
acquitted, and "sdlco cOnducto" given him by the
commander OF the Spanish forces to enable him to
return to Matanzas. On his way, however, he was

affair. Nothing has transpred here regarding his
action in the premises.
Arrest Ofthe Cuban Iunta-The Spanish Minis
The arrest of Morales Lemus and associates in
New York, has caused general enthusiasm through
out the island, and for awhe-I suppose from feel
ings OF pure gratftude-the sneers OF the Spanish
| press at the American Government and American
iDstitutionsI generally have ceased To the indigna-
teros Mayari, have succeeded the outpourings OF
an excessive gratitude-too excessive to be real OF
