nearly ready to sail and the prisoners were on tne
roint Of embarking, when a great cOmmotion took
place Col Ibauez is the commander OF the 6th pat-
aon of volunteers. His troops were opposed 10 the
bapisbment Of the above named parties, and atter
leaving the Cabanas in the morning, where they had
been keepine guard over night they made manltesta
tions of displeasure against their Colonel who sus-
tanned the Governor General Gen. Dulce ana lDahez
arranged il SO that at 10 o'clock p m, while the Dat
TALON was asleep the prisoners, TO the number OF 20
were sipped on board the Galyanic, and were soon
ont upon the sea- The trick was discovered by
the sleeping volunteers, and then commenced ascene

mcnced running through the Plaza de Armas, crying
out Death TO Ibanez" Death to Dulce,' and the
appearances indicated a great riot. One company
alone refused to take part IN these of nsubor
linatiou, and was greatly cOmplimented Ibanez The
tuult lasted tin Al o'clock of the next morning and
as the battalion put once more in order, began de-
filing before its colonel the company which did not
participate in the scandal now commenced to heap
abuse upon its colonel along with the Others Ibanez
wa, hissed in every direction and was so much and
so ften nsulted that he Immediately resigned. AT
oue timo during tins disturbance it was greatly
feared that a fight would take place between the
Second and Fourth BattaiOns who sustained lbanez,
and the Fifth and Sixth who were against him.
Two of the Cuban Chief Aguileras sons have been
murdered One was Of the age of IA and the other Of
10. The mother of Gen. MarmOl has likewise been
killed. and it is said that brother of the General
has been put to death. Balmaseda is the author of
these crimes. Another shameful affair is related 1t
has long been custom with the Spaniards to murder
their prisoners by the way side. In other days it
often happened that the captured rebels were dis
patched in this way. It is a matter of note in the
history of former troubles that prisoner starting
from Puerto Principe for Havana, ever reached the
latter city. Some pretext given, Of course, by
the guard detailing the reasons that made 1t neces
sary TO shoot them. such as an attempt TO escape
but this was always understood. Their officers
limited to them by knowing wink or side express
sion that they were not expected to carry them all
the way to Havana. Just such another occurrence
has happened Three prisoners, men of high charac-
ter and prominence. to wit: Don Manuel de Jesus
Ramirez. Don Ramon Calvera Alfonso, Don Bento
Hancio Figuerora were lately ordered under es-
cor from Caragena to CienfuegOs, and were all shot
in cold blood in the open road.
Gen. Leaca has been promoted to the grade of
Marjseal del Campo and has gone up TO take the com
mand OF the Cmco Villas. Col. LOnO has been
raised to the rank of brigader and s now Governor
of Cabanas He is one of the ablestof the fighting
Spaniards.
AT Il o'clock Yesterday the PelGyo arrived with 1O1
Of the troops wounded and with many families from
Puerto Principe.
The news from the East is exceedingly important
and favorable, various expeditions have already
landed and there is an American schooner, the
Champion, at Inagua Island, discharging cargo OF
arms. which arc expected to be landed within few
days. inthe fight at Banes. Bay of Nipe the Amer

The revolution is progressing splendidly in the
East; the reinforcements of the cause with troops
and material Of renders the triumph OF the insur
gents certain. COnfscation is being enforced with
heavy hand at Puerto Principe. and very many
Spaniards are leaving the country forever. It re-
mains to be said that the most cheering is being
received from the Vuelta Abajo and the Western De-
partment There is a want of arms, but it is believed
that these will he furnished, and should matters
pow very serious from any cause at Havana you
pay expect TO hear of rising IN that qnarter. The
Ires Of revolution are blazing in all directions, and
there is every reason to believe that the cause will
triumph.
