WASHINGTON, August 18.-Letters
! from Cuba to the 9th inst. give en-
couraging accounts of the hopes and
situation Of the revolutionary forces.
The recent conscrIptlon ordered by
DeR0das at the command of the vol
unteer Ayuntianta at Havana, it is
said, has the effect of largely increas-
ing their forces. The order gives
great satisfaction to Cuban leaders,
who report themselves prepared for

disconten aad insubOrdination among
the slavesis reported TO be increasing
and they are now beyond control.
They demand their freedom AID exact
from the Spanish government their
| liberty as declared By Cesipedes. The
government denied this, and they are
organizing and armiDg themselves
for the purpose Of joining the Cuban
army.

between the negroes aud Spanish
troops The negroes. successfully de-
Tended themselves, even against a
superior force.

| take possession of Nuevitas, and have
control of the fortified toWuso on the

Gen. Jordan's army is being gradu-
! ally reinforced by the Cuban con
scripts, whose sympathies are fayOra-
u! bic TO their cOuntTymen. The Spanish
forces in his district are inactive, and
he is confident that everything is
working right for Cuban independ-
ence, and IN a short time his recruits
~Will be organized and made elective
and that the few positions held BY

TINS proposition seemed to meet
with little favor, and was voted down
by large majority.
The vote on the amendment sub
mittcd by Judge Eaves was next Ia
ken, and it was defeated by quite a
large majority of the stockholders.
The vote on Gen. Boyle's resolution

was adopted. fourteen thousand one

reco ded IN as favor and only one
hundred against it.
The announcement Of the vote was
greeted with loud applause and every

was now a fixed fact, all the way to

A meeting Of the Directors was
called, Immediately following the ad-

General Boyle was directed to pro-
ceed at once to ascertain where and
when and to whom the road could be
leased on the terms proposed.
The action Of the stockholders will,
no doubt. insure the completion of
the road. The terms offered to the
company who will take hold Of it are
SO liberal, that no difficulty is antici-
pated in contracting with responsible
parties who will have both the ability
and the disposition to push the work
to a successful completion. No COM
