lowing:
Haua,aa, Feb. 23.-The city is quiet. Three
thousand troops leave for the interior to. NOR

maintain their discipline and rely upon gov
ernment
Salutes were fred yesterday in honor of
Washington, and the people in the suburbs
were greatly frightened thereby, thinking there
was disturbance in the city.
The rebels are burning plantations in Villa
Clara and Joquay districts. In the latter dis
trict thirty.six cane plantations have been laid
waste.
Dates from Nuevitas to the, 18th inst have
been received. A large expedition had put to
sea under Gov. Gisca. 1t consisted of 25OO
men, including cavalry, with howitzers, guns,
horses, provisions and 14O rounds of artillery
ammunition.
1t is supposed that the destination of the ex-
pedition is Guanaja, where the rebels have for

| duty from the first of March next, of 80 cents
per box and 81 70 per hogshead on sugar; 81
| ner bale on tobacco, 80 cents per thousand on
| cigars. and an addition of per cent on all in.
teTpal taxes, the proceeds of which are to he
maid weekly to the Spanish bank, to secure an
advance of $8,0O0,00O to the government.
HAVANA Feb. 24.-The naval expedition to
La Guanaia was completely successful. The
fortifications erected there by the insurgents
were first bombarded by the fleet. Inc troops
were then landed and the works carried by as
sault. The rebels withdrew and retreated into
the country. A permanent garrison OF regu-
| lars was left in town. On Sunday two pat
| talions of troops marched from La Guanaja to
the relief of Puerto Principe.
Captain General Dulce yesterday addressed
the sergeants and corporals of the volunteer
forces, exhorting them to maintain order and
obedience, and to discountenance all danger
| GUS agitation.
A large number of rebel prisoners have been
brought to this city, and more are expected.

tne burdens of taxation and protection for their
prooucts, which they complain have decreased

In New York the demand has been more active dur

super pulled and combings kinds being notably firm
and most sought after. The fall clip of California is
freely offered at current prices but spring is scarce
and desirable grades command full figures. Texas
and all carpet Wool are in fair demand, and the
demand thus far has good support. The Philadel-
phia Commercial list says:-The market has been
nearly cleared Of the low grades of Wool, and of
pulled and tub, which have been in good request,
the stock here is about exhausted. In tbeabsence oi
supply of these descriptions manufacturers ae turn
ing their attention to fine Wools which have met
fair inquiry at full prices The stocks of all descrip-
tions are gradually diminishing, and the clip OF
the West promises to be sold up than unusual
ly high before the new Wool makes its appearance
the market presents an appearance of decided
strength. The stock of fine wool is concentrated in
few hands, and holders confident of realizing
better prices as the season advances.

ward Cromwell: There are about $500 of the
Usage Indians left on their reservation
They were starving to dearh this fall, when
General Sheridan issued rations to them
The first six beeves that were slaughtered
they eat raw, entrails and all, in about an hour.
They will have to be fed by the Government
until next April, when the hunting season be-
gins. 1t is their land, 100000 acres, which
the spectators claim to have bought from
them at nineteen cents per acre. Gen. Sheri-
dan will not be here till the middle of March.
I leave for the Indian country via Lawrence,
tomorrow.
