For the past few days there have been many ny

that section, among WHOM S a. WI" be an emissary Q,
the cOnspiratore, and whoSe hriItai lneie was
to be the signal OF revolt. The insurgent sym;
paihizers state confidently that two Thousand
we'll armed men have started the cry OF liberty
there and that under preconcerted arrange
ments the whole section will soon be in revolt
Private letters aud persons arriving also re-
port disturbances in santo Esplritu, Trinidad,
villa Clara, and other jurisdictions. con
sidel able body Of Insurgents has taken to the
fields near Nueva Bermeia. in Colon, near Sagua
Ia Grande, aud the utmost agitation percepuole
throughout all that vicinity. On the I'd party
of insurgents sent no the cry on the sugar estate
"rrapchc," near San Juan los Remedies, aud
q party OF troops were sent out in pursuit from
the latter place. and were bred upou from
cane field, in which the rebels had concealed
themselves, with results not mentioned. There
is growing feeling here that the disturbances
are likely soon and very seriously to affect this
end OF the island.
The Cadiz mail steamer Pueno Rico arrived
here on the I'd, bringing 408 troODs, which were
sailed to Nueyias on the following day. Tue
Spanish war steamer Juan de Austria arrived
here from the latter place on the Sd, bringing
back Brgadier LesCa, the newly appointed
Governor of Puerto Principe, who but recently
left here to assume that position. The object OF
his speedy return is not known; but IL Is sur
missed that he came TO represent the impracLi-
cability of his making his way to his seat of
government with the 1000 troops at Nuevitas.
The efforts OF the Peace Commissioners have
evidently served to distract the oounsels of the
insurgents, If nothing more. The DtGrt0 states
that General Augusta Arrange has been assassi-
mated by his companions In consequence OF the
great discord which exists among them. The
reyolutionists admit the tact of his death, but
| state that he was truly tried by court martial
| and shot for Unauthorized ARRANGEMENTS with
| the Government authorities. Your orrespond-
| ent at Euevitas, writing on the 10th, makes no
| mention o.. this, and it is therefore extremely
| doubtful. Senor Don Jose de Eunas, one OF
| the commissioners, is expected here to-day or
| tomorrow,
On the night of the 2sh disturbance took
place in BeiuCal, iusuTrectionary in it's charac-
| ter. The ringleaders were secured by the police,
! several of them considerably injured
| For several days past 1t has been rumOred
| here that an American squadron was coming to
| Havana 10 demand satisfaction for injuries done
| to American citizens in the late troubles here.
Rumors of hllbustCring expeditions are also rife.
| The French war vessel Semiramis, flagship oI
| Admiral Mack ay, arrived here this morning.
| Immediately after anchoring the Admiral called
| on Rear Admiral Hoff, of the Contoocook, and
| was saluted with the usual number OF guns. II
| is now unders ood that the Royal Alfred is not
| coming to Cuban waters. Admiral Mundy has
| however, given orders for three ships to commu.
nicate with Cuha-one to Santiago, one tc
| Neuvitas, and another TO be held at the DISPOSE
| ,ioD OF the English Consul General in Havana.
