Justa Agullora, President of the Revolu-
uonary Junta at Holquin, was captured and
ecuted on the 9th instant at JiOora The
Havana journals publish very favorable ac-
counts OF the progress OF the troops in subduing
the insurrection in all parts OF the island; bur
the accounts of affairs in the interior from rebel
sources are wanting, and there are no means of
ascertaining facts. 1t is known that several
fights have taken place within the last two or
three days, but they are represen ted 70 have

The captured American brig Mary Lowell
mas been classed as legal prize by the Spanish
courts. The Acting Consul General has sent
the United States steamer Penobscor 70 Key
West with dispatches informing the Govern

sailed for Nuevitas with a detachment of artIl-

lutionists, has issued an address to the AmerI-
can people. After recting the grievances
which the Cubans have long suffered under
the civic and military tyranny Of Spain, and
their previous disastrous attempts to throw OF
the yoke, be says:-The revolution commen need
on the 10th Of October last has steadily grown
into strength, and promises TO realize all the
army has been gradually increasing, notwith-
standing the losses conseq uent upon q steady

South, for want OF the req Qulste armament to
hold IL; but the territory pointed out is nearly
two-thirds OF the area of Cuba, in which slave
ry has been abolished, and in which the Span
iards control only the ground upon which they
stand at bay. This has been done by the pa.
triots in comparatively short time, not
withstanding their sad deficiency in
war material, and leads to the belief that Il:
they had been tolerably supplied with such
material their movement would now cover
also the remainder of the island, where no
uprising has yet taken place from utter want
of arms, whilst their enemies are fully armed
with the best approved weapons Of the Uni.
ted States; but such are oar neutrality laws
that they allow a European power TO obtain
war material freely from our workshops to
crush a people struggling for freedom in the
very heart OF America, and prohibit the same
people from supplying themselves with sim.
liar materials from the United States TO carry
on their struggle against thas power. The ad
dress ccDc Dcludes by stating that Cuba is on her
way TO national independence; that her soas
have been manfully fighting six months with
out having yet violated our neutrality. despite
their lack Of arms, and are, therefore, entitled
to the earnest sympathy of our people, and
more 50 as their struggle involves a great
American principle. that no European power
shall longer control any country upon this
hemisphere.
