THE CUBAN REVOLUTION.

noon.
As soon as the Captain General was
installed in the Palace he issued a proc
lamation. In this he says the platform
of his line of conduct is embraced in
three words Spain, justice, and NOR
ality. He thanks the volunteers for
the services they have rendered in the
cause of order, justice, and public
rights, and tells them they ought to
feel proud of their past action. He
closes with an allocution to the army
and navy.
KEY WEST, Fla, June IS.
The United States steamship Nara
gansett arrived here yesterday with
several cases of yellow fever on board,
which were contracted abroad. The
yellow fever is not an epidemic in Key
West, and the shipping is not threaten
ed by it. This may be considered re-
liable. The Narragansett sailed from
Key West, to day, for the North. The
Fleet Surgeon recommends q change Of
climate for the Coontoocook, in order
that her officers and crew may escape
all danger of the fever. American in
terests require the immediate re in
forcement of the squadron in the vi
cinity of Cuba.
There is now no United States YES
sci of war in Cuban waters. The gan
tic is at Aspinwall, the Gettysburg at
Hayti, and the Nipsic has been detach-
ed; thus the North Atlantic squadron
has dwindled. Most of the vessels have
gone home.
The insurgents, 1000 strong, attack
ed an encampment containing the gar
rison of Sabana Nueve, near Puerto
Principe on the Goth inst, and captur-
ed the entire force, some so men. Gen.
Letona sailed from Puerto Principe to
their succor, but arrived too late. He
found that the Rebels had destroyed
encampment and left four Spanish sol
diers dead on the ground. Gen. Leto-
ma returned to Puerto Principe on tho
Dist. The Prensa to-day acknowledges
that the news lately received from
Puerto Principe, Nuevitas, and Gibara,
is unsatisfactory.
Advices of the Dist have been receiv-
ed from Santiago lie Cuba. A number
of filibusters who landed from the
schooner Grapeshot and subsequently
fell into the hands of the troops, had
been executed there, among them We're
Charles Speakman, of Aurora, Ind, M
bert Wyeth of New York, Carlos Quin-
one, Martin Justiz, and Havenez Este
rez. Three filibusters, named Pedro,
Valdes, Jose Pena, and Gregorio Rod
riguez, were shot on the 18th inst,
near Guantanamo.
Reenforcements left Nuevitas, on the
oath, for Puerto Principe. Gen. Escal-
ente is sick. The general headquarters
of the insurgents are established on the
Ell Cercado plantation, and it is report
ed that the Cuban Gems. Quesada, Val
DIES, Castillo, and Bembeta have met
there, and united their forces.
Col. Benegassi has arrived here in
bad health. The cholera continues in
the town of the interior. Report says
a majority of the men who landed from
the PERT and from other vessels have
either been killed by the troops OF
have died from disease. The insurg-
ents have burned the Atalaya Planta
ton, owned by Col. Albear. Gen Fer
Ell remains at Puerto del Padre. Sever
al skirmishes are reported in various
parts of the island, resulting favorabl5
for the Government troops.
