IMPORTANT FROM CUBA.
Probable Disastrous End OF the Nevo-
luton.

New YORK. June 9.-It is believed here that
the revolutionary cause in Cuba is lost. 1t is
certain that the Cubans in this city have re-
ceived some very distressing news, which has
cast general gloom among them, and caused
much weeping among their ladies'. 1t is
whispered that treachery has been at work,
and that tho revolutionary forces have been
sold out by their leader, Cespedes. Another
rlmor is to the effect that the Cuban ''patriots"
AID the Spanish volunteers have fratcrnzed.
In confirmation Of this statement we hear,
by the cable, that the acting Captain General
of Cuba has telegraphed to Madrid, counter
manding his request for reinforcements.
LATER ACCoUNTs-THE oUBANs ACTIVE AND CON-
FIDENT.
WASHINGTON, Juno 8, P. M.-Information
has been received from reliable sources in Ha-
yana, asserting that tho Cubaps are engaged in
an active offensive movement, and we're never
In better spirits or more sanguine Of success.
Telegrans from Havana deny the report that
any officer Of the Cuban forces had surrender
ed to Valmaseda, or that any number Of Gu
bans have done 80.
The excitement in Cuban circles in New
York, on Sunday night, was caused by re-
port, telegraphed by the Spa1iards, that Ces-
pedes had surrendered. Subsequent dispatch
es, from Cuban sources, prove the report to
have been without foundation.

PUBLIC MEETING IN oRANGEguR,
TrnoM oun own connrspoNprnr.

IRON OUR own CORRESPONDENT
OEANaEBURa. June ITO day large as
semblage of the citizens of the district met at
the courthouse, pursuant to call, to consider
the late action of the State Board Of Equaliza-
tion with respect to the immense increase OF
assessment put upon real estate. Colonel
Barton was called to the chair, and John A.
Hamilton, Esq, request ed to act as secretary.
The following resolutions, offered by Samuel
Dibbe., Esq, were adopted:
Whereas, The State Board OF EuuaIzation
have recently raised the assessments in real
estate in this county to four times the amount
OF the county assessments; and whereas, this
carries the real estate or the county to valna :
ton, for taxation alone, far above the actual
intrinsic or market value of the same, and will.
il adopted as the basis of taxation, paral1E9
the agricultural interests OF tho county. brin
ruin upon the people, and renew the dlstresses
from which the county is now Just recovering
after the vicissitudes Off evolution and chan .
Of the labor system of the State; and whereas.
we desire to do all in our power to avert this
serl GUS calamity. BE it, therefore,
ReSOlUed, That q committee of six be an
pointed by the chair to confer with his Excel
lency the Governor of the State, and the mem
bers OF the State Board OF Equalization, and
represent to them the views of the citizens ~
the county, and to lake such steps in present
ing the same as they deem advisable. and
after said conference, that the said committees
may call another meeting OF citizens if neces-
sary or take suoh other steps as the said con-
ference may suggest proper under the circum-
stances.
Resolued, That subscription be raised bv
" lntary contribution, for the purpose Of de.
fray1ng the necessary expenses, and that the
committee or six do take charge OF the collec-
tion and disbursement OF the same.
The committee appointed consists of Colonel
P. 3. Fielder. Messrs. Harpln Riggs, Samuel
Dibble, J. r. Millhouse. and Drs. j. A. Keller.
and F. W. Vogt. They will proceed early upon
their duty. and We hope may succeed in effect
ing reconsideration of the matter.
The action Of the Board of Equalization is
glaringly unjust upon those who made correct
returnss and particularly 80 upon the owners OF
town property, who by their action are assess
ed four times beyond the actual value ef their
dwellings and stores. Buildings Of ordinary
construction, and many of them in disuse, are
