MORMON ACTIVITY.
Z. Conlnleroial A dnertiser.

From the NJ Y Commercial ADVERTISER.
When the Prophet Brigham found his autho-
rity condemned and his policy criticized, he
first cut off from the Dhurch few prominent
recalcirants. Then he inaugurated grand
movement for the propagation of the faith,
and ordered on the war path more than
hundred Mormon elders and preachers, among
whom we're many of those whom he suspected
of want of confidence in himself. There is
no alternative for the missionaries. Once
ordered away, they must 90 or be put out OF
the Church. The missionary, be he mechanic,
or farmer, or merchant, or teacher, man OF
one wife or man of a dozen, he has no eX-
cuse He goes unpaid. He must earn his
own support. He goes where the prophet
sends him, to New York or TO Nova Zemola,
to London or Bengal. This missionary en-
terprise is a wonderful instrument in hands
so unscrupulous as those of Brigham Young,
and he has often used it to put out OF the
way any reckless and ar dent young Mormon
who might venture to be in love with one
upon whom the prophet has looked with
longing eyes.
Elders Godbe and Harrison, the excommu-
nicated editors of the Utdk MdgGziHe, now
propose to publish, in lieu of that paper, a
weekly called the Mormon Tribune. They
issue Manifesto in which their views are
expounded at length. They are full Nor
mons, but they crave more spiritual religion
than that which Brigham favors. We have
read this Manifesto but we see nothing in
it beyond slavish love for the Mormon
Church and a certain tolerance of Gentiles
| which has not characterized Mormonism be-
fore. On the polygamy question, the new
party makes this declaration;-
"Another point in the movement will be 70 place
the practice OF plural marriage on the highest
grounds. IL win only maintain or encourage IL 80
far as IL 10 praCtced within the highest conditions oil

WEST INDIES.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 8-Advices from Cuba
to the Both of July, received in this city to-
day, state that the Spanish troops in the insur-
reetionary districts had been reinforced by all
the disposable forces on the island preparatory
to active operations.
In Cinco Villas district there has been seve-
raj contests, in which small parties were en-
gagged, but in every instance the Spanish were
defeated. 1t is reported that in these engage
ments the Spanish loss in killed, wounded and
prisoners amounted to nearly 400. These re-
Inducements are sent principally to the dis
trict commanded by Gen. Jordan, and the
campaign promised to be very active, but on
account of the setting in OF the rainy season
both parties are compelled to suspend opera
tons. t
The town of Holquin is reported to be in
possession of the Cubans with its Notifications
and stores. Cesepede's government will be re-
moved to that place as the position is a very
strong one. The Cubans continue to be REIN
forced by volunteers from the United States
Two hundred and twenty-five, recruited in In
diana, Ohio and Kentucky, succeeded in land
ing on the 18th ult. and joining Gen, Quesa-
da's forces They carried with them arms and
ammunition and large supply OF camp equip
age. The health Of the Cubans is stated to be
good
