We have special and credible advices that BY
means of seven or eight e1Dedihons which
have within q few months lett New York ana
Philadelphia, the Cabsns have received large
and somewhat surprieing quantities OF arms
and munitions Of war. The Cuban authorities
here and in Washington have. as We are IN
formed. been ino,ssantly active, and the re,
suit of their efforts is seen in the animated
hopes. and renewed spirit Of the patriots in the
field. On the strength Of the recent help
given to their cause, or promised them at no
late day, the campaign of General Quesada ls

A correspondent Of the same paper, writing
from st. Jago de Cuba, under date Of May IL,
says:
On the 21st ult., Don Simon de le Tore, our
governor, returned here at the head OF his col.
umn of three thousand msu, and announced
to us that after the attack made on the insur-
gents at Ramon, fifteen leagues from this
place. the insurreotion MAS completely put
down; b 1T the same paper, Ell Redactor, which
rial article, inspired by one OF the officers
Of the expedition, in which it was said
there had been no attack Whatever, be-
c9use the insurgents, not being able to cope
with so large body OF troops, and being
in want OF even powder, abandoned their
camps. The column OF General de Ia Tore,
however, did not return to st. Jsgo without
leaving behind signs Of the most bal barous
executions. Overseers Of estates, white and
black, who. fearing the order OF valmase5.,
had remained in their houses awaiting the ar
rival Of the troops, were barbarously sacrificed.
The number 80 killed amounted to twenty.
Colonel Ormachea ordered the mon to follow
the camp, aud when they obeyed h'm he or
dered them to be shot. The presence OF De 10
Tore In St. Jago de Cuba has been the signal
for fresh executions. Don Delfn Aguiiera,
who arrived with safe conduct from Colonel
Camara. WAS imprisoned, and, by the ln.hga-
ton OF the Galatians, was shot. he died like
hero. Four days after, q family OF the name OF
Auaya, we'll connected, consisting OF q father
and three sons, we're also executed These
acts have given to this city . sepulchral air.
Sorrow Is seen in every face as well as
indignation. The insurgents have responded
to these offences against civilization by exeout-
ing double number OF the Spanish prls-
oners ir their hands, and by burning down the
properties OF all those who might give assist
ance to the government. The most magnif.
cent estates have bean prey 70 fire, aud
every night we see from this city the i'm mnense
glare produced by these acts Of incendiarism.
All the jurisdiction OF st. Jlgo de Cuba is un-
der the military, but the soldiery cannot pre-
vent these acts OF revenge, and In order to give
