The Herald states that Senator Sum.

President Grant, but Dent, Chief Usher,
having carried in his card, returned with
the remark that he would have to wait
fifteen minutes. Sumner said he would
not wait fifteen minutes for Napoleon, or
any one else, and that when Grant wanted
to see him he could send for him. With
that he withdrew in rage, and told bis
friends that the WEi.e House was nothing
but military court.

Shots from the Spanish steamer having sat
fire to a building filled with war materials, the
fillibusters did not pursue the routed enemy,
they having to remain and extinguish the flames
and save the arms, which they succeeded in
doing. The Spaniards saw ten cannon unmoun-
ted in addition to the eight pieces already in
position. Foreigners led the attack and COM
posed a large part of the insurgent force. The
Spaniards captured a Prussian and instantly
shot him. On the 10th inst. a severe engage
ment took place four miles from Puerto Padre.
The insurgents attacked a force of 1000 Span
iards conveying provision to Tunas. The bat
tie took place along the margin of the river
and lasted for several hours, and every attempt
OF the Spaniards to cross was repulsed with
severe loss. They where shot down in the
riMr, actually dyeing the water with their blood.
Finally the Spaniards were. driven back with
great loss and compelled TO abandon the design
of provisioning Tunas. They acknowledge a
loss of thirty-four killed and 100 wounded, but
the insurgents claim that their loss was much
heavier. Seventy-eight of the wounded had ar
rived at Nuevitas. A Spanish soldier informed
your correspondent that of 100 men in his COM
pany only seven escaped unframed. The
Spaniards reiterated to Puerto Padre, where
they were awaiting reinforcements at last &C.
counts. One thousand men under General
Ferrer had arrived from Puerto Principe at
Neuvitas, and where about to march to reinforce
Puerto Padre. Ferrer will command all the
Spanish troops there. A coasting schooner had
arrived at Neuvitas with the Spaniards wound
ed in a skirmish near the same place on the goth
instant between a band of insurgents and a
Spanish foraging party, in which the latter were
driven back. Puerto Padre is a small seaport
town on the North Coast of Cuba, in the East
ern Department, between Hibara and Malaquera
Bay. The locality is reported to be swarming
with insurgents. The Cubans are jubilant over
these successive victotories, which have evident
ly been gained by the patriots, as all the infor-
nation given above has been obtained from
Spanish sources. Napoleon Aranjo, the insur-
gent chief, has been restored to his command.
The Cubans have resolved upon active operations
and in the future and intend keeping the Span
iards on the seaboard cut off from communica-
ton with the interior towns, which are all suf-
fering severely from want of provisions. The
railroad between Puerto Principe and Neuvitas
was to be soon destroyed again. Never we're
the Cubans more sanguine of achieving their
independence than at the present day.

HAVANA, May 81, via Key West, }
May 80, 1869.
A HERALD special from Neuvitas reports
that the steamer Salvador successfully landed
her men and munition at the port of Nuevas
Grandes, on the north coast, not far from
Neuvitas. A British war steamer and two
Spanish cruisers failed to catch the Salvador,
which departed Immediately after her men and
cargo had been disembarked. A Spanish force
landed soon after, but the fIibusters were al
ready on their march to the interior, and only
the evidence of their having been there was
found. The expedition which landed in the
Bay of Nipe comprised a large steamer (name
not given), and the steamship Perit from New
York. The steamer transferred her cargo to
the Perit, which made several trips to the shore,
landing men, arms, artillery, ammunition, pro-
visions and clothing for the insurgents. Imme-
diately upon landing the flibusters threw I'D
intrenchments and mounted eight guns, sweep
ing the bay.
On the 10th instant the Spanish war steamer
Marsella entered the Bay of Nipe and was re-
ceived with a sharp fire from the artillery.
Two shots took effect in her hull compelling
her to withdraw. She then went to the port
of Manati, and obtained a force of soldiers, and
in company with the Spanish gunboat Africa,
returned to the Bay of Nipe. After several
shots had been exchanged between the steamers
and the shore batteries several hundreds of
Spaniards were landed, and, making a detour
to the rear, took possession of the guns which
the fllibusters had been compelled to abandon.
The insurgents meantime, had only retired for
the purpose of reforming. That done. they re-
turned ~inforce, made a brilliant charge with
the. bayonet. retook all the guns and compelled
the Spaniards to retreat in disorder with a loss
Of forty-6ve killed and aone hundred wounded.

New USES OF PAPER.--0ne OF the
latest uses of paper is its application in
the manufacture OF pails, wash.baslns,
plus, spittoous, etc, aud, strange Us 1t
may appear, il is nevertheless true, that
the above articles, from chemically
prepared paper, are superior 10 many
respects 10 any ever before made. The
paper Is rendered impcrvious to the &c
ton Of water or ncids; the utensils eau
be placed in an oven till the water will
boil 10 them; placed 10 the sun at the
hottest season of the wear, or exposed TO
the sevorest cold, without the slightest
effect on them; where wood would rot
aud iron rust, these articles are unaf.
fcc,ed, and, with proper usage, would
be as good as new. 10 pals there is an
advantage water will not taste Of
the material and will never fall to pie.

with vegetable composition which, il
it does wear of, does not affect their du.
rability, aud does not injure them, ex-

A New Apporsionmsnt.


Under the 18th amendment of the
Constitution Of the United States, new
apporiionmsnt Of membcrs Of Congress
becomes necessary ia those States which
have not adopted it. These are Della
ware. Maryland, Kastacky and Missouri.
Delaware having but one Representa-
tive, is not affected by it at all but the
representation from the other States
named, may be reduced after the next
census, but not before. The specula.
tons which have been INDUCED about
a new apportionment Of members at the
present time, seem to be based upon the
idea that Congress has before /. the
facts necessary to authorize new APP
pcrtionment at once. But il should be
repembered that the apportionment and
recent election Of Congressman have
taken place under existing laws of
Congress, aud that body will have no
foundation for further action until an.
other census has been taken, which viii
be in the course of next year. Until
the next census Is taken, ii cannot be
