To-day We have interesting intelligence relative to
the progress of the revolutions in Cuba.
Revolution by the Volunteers.
Havana correspondence, dated May 30 says
The revolution by the volunteers of Havana against
the Government of the Island of Cuba was begun
on the 22d Of January last. on that day they slew
women, children, and deienseless persons in and
around the theatre OF Vianueva. Then was com
menced an unheard-Of series of disorders, and now
the work is being rapidly contaminated Anarchy
is, it may be truly sad rampant and everything to-
day proves it. The telegraph has doubtless, given
you the news OF a serious disturbance which oC-
Cured here few dayr ago, but the particulars are
matters of consequence.
The director OF La Voz de cuba Gonzales Cas-
tanon, caused to be published in that paper an art-
Gle which did not receive the appreciation OF the
Censor. He was sent for Immediately by General
Dulce, as also Duran Cuerro, who is one of the
editors. These gentlemen were told that they should
leave for Spain by the next mail steamer, and with
them the cure of Monserrate, Anacleto RedOnda,
Dr. Vigil Qumones, and Eduardo Alvarez Mijares
Qormer Censor). These were all violent Spaniards,
and were never tired of seeing blood split in the
cause The steamer was nearly ready to sail, and
the prisoners were on the point of embarking, when
a greaS commotlon TOOK place COIonel lDanel
is the commander OF the 9th Battalion or
volunteers. His troops were opposed to the
banishment Of the above named parties, and after
leaving the Cabanas in the morning, where they had
been keeping guard over night, they made manifest
tanned the Captain-General. General Dulce and
IbaneZ arranged it so that at IL O'Clock L. M, while
the battalion was asleep the prisoners, to the num-
ber Of twenty were slipped on board the Galvanic
and were soon out upon the sea- The trick was dis
covered by the sleeping volunteers, and then COM
scription. The volunteers commenced
ming through the Plaza de Armas, crying
out, 'Death to IbaneZ, "Death to Dulce," and the
appearances indicated great riot. One company
alone refused to take part in these scenes OF nsub
ordination ana was greatly IN , Oy lDaneh
ing, and the battalion, put once more in order
began defiling before its colonel the company which
did not participate in the scandal now commenced
to heap abuse upon its colonel along with the Others
Ibanez was Kissed in every direction, and was so
much and so often insulted that he Immediately re-
signed. during
greatly feared that a fight would take place be-
IbaneZ, and the 5th and 9th, who were against him.
Murders and Barbarities by the Spaniards.
Two OF the Cuban Chief Aguiera's sons have been
murdered One was OF the age OF Il fourteen and the
has likewise been killed, and it is said that brother
Of the General has been put to death. Vamaseda is
the author of these crimes. Another shameful
affair is related. 1t has long been custom with
the spaniards to murder their prisoners by the
way side. In other days 1t often happened that
the captured rebels were despatched in this way.
1t is matter of note in the history Of former
PGero Principe for HAVANA ever reached the
latter city. Some preteXt was given, OF course, by
the guard detailing the reasons that made it neces
sary to shoot them such as an attempt to escape
but this was always understood Their officers
hinted to them by knowing wink or side express
sion that they were not expected to carry them all
| the way to Havana. Just such another occurrence
has happened. Three prisoners, men of high char
| Jesus Ramirez, Don Ramon Calvera Alfonso, Don
Beno Hancio Figuerora, were lately ordered under
Oartagena
| all shot in cold blood in the open road.
More Munitions of War.
The news from the East is exceedingly important
and favorable Various expeditions have already
| landed and there is an American schooner, the
Champion, at Inagua Island discharging cargo of
arms, which are expected to be landed within afew
days. In the fight at Banes, Bay of Nipe, the Ameri-
cans lost artillery, and they fired several shots
into the vessel Marsella which caused serious
damage. Commandante Trayano with force OF 300
men, was surrounded by the forces of Quesada, who
captured beside convoy OF prisoners. Lieutenant
Colonel Boniche lost 175 men OF his column, and was
fCrced to leave his wounded at point called AdmadO
NaZqueZ.
Revolution in the East.
The revolution is progressing splendidly in the
East the reinfoTcements OF the cause with troops
and material Of renders the triumph OF the in
surgents certain. Conhscation is being enforced
with a heavy hand at Puerto Principe, and very
many Spaniards are leaving the country forever 1t
remainsto be said that the most cheering news is
being received from the Yueta Abajo and the West
ern Department. There is want of arms, but it is
believed that these will soon be furnished, and
should matters grow very serious from any cause at
Havana, you may expect to hear of rising in that
quarter. The fires OF revolution are blazing in all
directions and there is every reason to believe that
| the cause will triumph.
