A CUBAN 1ncIDEHr.

A Havana correspondent of the New
FORK Tribune, writing July goth, givea
the following:
A rich correspondence is reported to
have taken place recently between Que
| saba and Lesca, the substance of which
| is this: Quesnda sent an officer, under
flag of truce, to Lesca, with list OF
the names of a few Spanish officers and
soldiers in bis power, and proposed TO
exchange them for an equal number of
Cuban chiefs and soldiers. held MS pris-
oners by the Spaniards. Lesca's reply
was to the effect /" that Spain would
indeed display some pride were she to
accept snch ridiculous proposition,
looking to the fact that she counts upon
the loyal hearts of l7,0O0,0 900 people
to defend her, and that the loss or sal
walton of ten or twelve persons was
of but little consequence, especially as
it was q matter of ones country at
stake" Besides, be said, that be
held none OF Quesada's men as priso-
ners, for, as soon IS they fell into his
hands, be ordered them to be shot,
and he should continue to pursue the
same course.
When this answer was received by
Quesada, he called the Spanish priso-
ners together, and said" Senores
bold 10 my hand a death-warrant issued
against you. drawn by your own chief,
Lesca. The reading of it inspires me
With horror" So saying he handed
the paper to one of bis aids, who read
il aloud. Seeing that the prisoners
were full of indignation at the senti
ments contained in Lesca's note, Que
sada then said TO them" Senores
Qu.sada is not a Gen. Lesca. l pardon
you ALL You can leave when you will,
and to effect safe exit for you, will
issue the necessary passports. When
the General had finished speaking, the
liberated Spauisrds burst forth in
shouts for QuesadA and Free Cuba.
Only two of them asked the necessary |
papers to Havana, where they had fami-
lies, and all the others Immediately in

statement that Minister Sickles is
negotiating for the purchase of Cuba
Of sufficient Importance TO warrant dis

that Spain twill be fortunate if twenty
millions of dollars ever reach Madrid

waste any money in purchasing it.

HEDGING IN JEFF DAvIs.-We have
already stated that an attempt is being
made in Bourbon county, Kentucky, to
raise fund for the purchase of home
for Jefferson Davis in that, his native
State. A gentleman of Louisville has
offered, if $4,000 or more .hall be
subscribed to the fund, to give a build
ing site for house, with ten acres
attached, within four miles of Louis
Vile. Commenting npon this move
ment, the Savannah Republican ex-
claims:
The idea Of hedging in the great
Confederate leader on a ten-acre lor
and that four miles from town, is simply
ridiculous. If the southern people
wish 10 honor their old chief, and
make him and his family comfortable,
let them present him with a large and
well-improved estate, on which be can
live in style btfitting his character and
