CONFIsCATION AND NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. AND
MURDER.
HAVANA, Oct 91.-The sale of the wealthy Aida
mas property as well as that of his intellectual
compatriot Nestor Ponce de Leon, has furnished an
illustration of the means by which the Spanish
auetioneers of confscation improve their own
especial upholstery The State and the public are
both cheated In this way it being the practice of the
conscatng powers to replace with old furniture the
splendid effects which have been found in such
houses as Aldama's. But this is not the most sur
prisng freak of the rage for confscation There is
rumored plan by which a certain list OF prescribed
Cubans SHALL as soon as they have been encouraged
sufficiently to make every preparation for the sugar
grinding season. be advised to flee the country. Now
calculate for yourself whether the half-Spanish
nobility the Counts Canongo OReilly, Marquis
Campo Florido and dozen other native courters Of
this class whom our official paper claims among the
contemners of the Instructions require any stimulus
TO keep them from sinking their titles and property
and Joining the revolution after pattern of that ex
oellent Marquis Salvador CsnerOs.
The supposed intention of the Government to
treacherousy confscate the property Of the Cubans
mentioned is said to have excited the impartial
order of the insurgent Gen. Cavada to burn all the
sugar estates in the Colon, Cardenas and Matanzas
jurisdictions. Villa Clara, an interior city, has
hitherto been free from the yellow fever but now so
great is the prevalence and violence there Of the
