Cuban Affairs.

Parties have arrived from Havana on the
steamship Liberty TO Baltimore, leaving Gu
ba March 12, and bringing some intelli-
genoe from Cuba, which indicates differ
emf state of things from that generally sent
by the cable. 1t is stated that in spite of
the continued assurances of the Spanish
officials that the government troops are
gaining every battle fought with the insur-
gents, in nearly every collision that has &C.
Cured the latter have had the advantage.
They state that every Cuban by birth is
determined to get rid of the yoke of the
government, and those who are too cid to
assist actively in the field are contributing
a great portion of their wealth ia aid of the
rebellion. The hatred of the Cuban against
the Spaniard is intense, cansed by the pol
icy hitherto pursued by the government to
wards the natives.

Don Plat, the Washington eorrespon-
dent of the Cincinnati Commercial, writes
of General Longstreet
There is a good deal of character in his
face and bearing, he reminds one of Gan.
Geo. H. Thomas. He has slight, very
slight deafness, and in leaning forward
with an earnest look to catch your mean
ing he throws into the conversation a
charming air Of close attention. His mem
cries of the late war are exceedingly inter-
estiDg. He possessed more brain than
any general on the Confederate side, and
it was, with all it's cultivation, military
brain. believe that had he been made
commander-in-chief of the Confederate
forces, instead of that dull responsibility,
General Lee, he would now be dealing out
official patronage instead of being its re-
eipient.
A late Washington dispatch says that
the President has reconsidered his hasty
and ill-advised act in recalling some par
dons granted by President johnson just
before the expiration of his term of office.
One OF these, the case of Martin, Boston
cashier, has been again sent forward, and
Martin will be released. 1t may be stated
in this connection that Sumner had an in
terview with the President concerning these
pardons. Mr.. Sumner said ''Mr. Presi-
dent, hope you thoroughly investigated
this matter before you ordered these par
dons withheld 90 Grant replied that he
had not investigated them at all. Undoubt-
eddy Washburne's ignorance aud Rollins
malignity led the President into makiDgthe
