RumOred Recognition OF BeIIIEerent
Rights - Negro Insurgents Attack
Puerto Principe - Progress OF the
Revolution.
New YORK, August 2.-The Herald
says il has been rumored in Washington
that belligerent rights would be accorded
Cuba by our government within ten days,
and bets to that effect were offered. The
rumor however had no foundation, as the
Cuban question has not been before the
cabinet for at least three weeks.
HAVANA, July Silt is reported two
slavers have landed in the Cruico Silos dis.
trict on account of Zulata Marine.
On Wednesday last 5000 negro in ur-
gents attacked Puerto Principe, making
general raid through the city. Spanish
troops to the number of 4, 900 men attacked
them. A severe struggle ensued, in which
the ground was contested inch by inch, the
insurgents retiring in good order, having
achieved the object for which they made
the raid They captured and destroyed
provisions valued ut $4,000 and made
good their retreat. The Spaniards don't
give any estimate Of the patriot loss.
Forty four Of their wounded we're taken 10
the barracks by the YOU lteers when the
fight had subsided.
There is great dearth of provirions, and
consequently great misery at Santiago de
| Cuba.
On July %, the patriot detachments,
which have been attacking the fortified
| plantations for some time past, defeated
the Spanish reiniorcemenls scot 10 meet
them. Col. Camsra, commanding the
| Spanish forces, was wounded. The eXpe-
dition WAS compelled to return TO the city.
1t is stated that as soon as preparations
are completed, the patriots will positively
attack Santiago de Cuba.
The negro militia that made the raid
on Puerto Principe enabled number oI
families to escape from the Spanish invest
meut Of Puerto Principe.
Ii is expected that Mr.. Furguson Long,
imprisoned at ManallO, obtained his re-
lease. A number Of political prisoners
have also been released. In consequence
of certain tory correspondence having been
intercepted, more important sequestratloni
are expected The sales of contiscsteC
property take place at auction. 1t is sug'
gested that the police make registration o.
the slaves owned by disloyal masters
More troops are demanded from the int
rior. The ins, r gents are increasing il
numbers and acuyity.
The Cuban Junta have received advice'
that Gems JOrdon and Figueride. witt
10000 armed insurgents, attacked Gen
Laforre near Santiago de Cuba, rOuteC
his forces and captured him. The rumo,
that he has since been shot is untrue
The Spanish General Pueblo has been de
feated between Nuevitas and Puert
Principe. His son, with large portion
of his command, is said to have joine'
the Cuban army.

Look Out for frauds.

The cry of General Stokes and his
claquers about frauds, so far as Davidson
county Is concerned, appears to have been
a ruse TO cover their own purposes in this
respect. We are informed that large num-
bers Of strange negroes are making their
way to this city, probably from Kentucky,
and are applying for and receiving GER
tihcates Of registration, and that several
hundred of such received their papers yes
terday. Lists are made out and a certain
set Of negro vouchers take them in charge
and "put them through" There will be a
foreign negro brigade in force on the day
of election who will require close watch
ing. In addition TO those being imported,
We have heard it intimsted that numerous
other negroes in possession of certi6-
Gates are applying under fictitious
names, and are succeeding TO
some extent, in procuring duplicates and
are thus doubly armed for the contest. We
advise those who will be present at the
polls on election day, TO beware of at
tempts at fraud. A number of these lat
terly issued certificates have been marked,
and if somebody ID not arrested for illegal
voting, We will be surprised. The regis
trar, Of course, was not aware of the i'm
p0rtatiOns to the city during Sunday and
yesterday, but we would suggest TO him
that it would be good idea TO look with
suspicion upon the strange negroes who
will probably visit his Office to-day.

w. N. Startling was most brutally mur

Startling was the owner of trading

for samples, when the party drew their
pistols and demanded his money, which
hegave up at once. They then threat

everything he had, which they refused to
accept. Attempting to run, he was fred

Two negroes, named John Bryant and
William Arthur, arrived here tO>day by

considerable sums of money as rewards
for the arrest Of the murderer, and the
county courts have awarded money for

The Mounded at CInrksyIIIe

A gentleman returned from a visit
TO Clarksville furnishes some later infor-
nation in regard TO the condition OF the
persons remaining there who were injured
by the late deplorable railroad accident
near that place. Judge Caulkins and fans
lily are doing well and in a fair way TO re.
cover. The Judge himself was more Sc
verely injured than his wife or either Of
his two children. The express messenger
Mr.. Dugan, is in a critical condition. He
was dangerously woHnded about The head
and shoulders, and is unconscious the prin-
cipal portion of the time. Baggage'master
Hughes, who was also seriously injured
about the head, and had one arm broken,
is getting along splendidly, and will be
able to be removed 10 his home IN Bowling
Green in few days
