AFFAIRs IN CUBA.-Letters from Cuba re-
cciyed here on Saturday evening give ad-
vices up to the 5th. General Jordan gives
the following account Of the action near
Holquin: Valmaseda being reinforced de-
termined to surprise the insurgents. His
movements were promptly reported TO Gen.
Jordan, who prepared to meet him. A small
force was sent out to reconnoiter, and II the
enemy appeared to lead them into an am
bush, which had been prepared, where Gen.
Jordan and 1000 men awaited them. Gen.
Valmaseda met the advanced party and at
tackled them. They retreated to the main
body, who received the Spanish force, more
than double their number, with such ear
nestness that they were thrown into such
disorder that 1t was found impossible TO re-
organize them.
This success was followed up by a charge
which forced diGordered retreat. The sue
cess of Gen. Jordan was complete. The
colored militia impressed into the service
broke on the first attack, and nearly all de.
serted to Jordan. This fight, II Is asserted,
has destroyed the army Of Valmaseda, and
given the Cubans control of the entire Hol-
Quin district. The Spanish loss is estimated
at ITO In killed and wounded, and over TOO
in deserters and prisoners.
1t Is reported that the slaves throughout
the island are manifesting symptoms of In
subordnation and sympathy with the Ces-
pedes government. They arc joining the
Insurgents by the hundreds and thousands,
determined TO secure the advantages OF the
decree OF liberation issued by Quesada al
the commencement OF the struggle for indie
pendence.
These men, 1t Is said, make good and eiii
Client soldiers. Gen. Quesada, In the Puerto
Principe district, these letters state, 10 nearly
ready for an attack on Nuevisas with force
sufficient TO secure success. Gen Lesca has
been restored to command there, aud thu
Discussions between tho regulars and yolun
teers have Increased to such an extent as &c
render his forces almost entirely unreliable
Unless Gen. Lesca is reinforced II Is not be-
heved he will risk contest. Vessels suih
Client to remove his troops arc concentrating
in front Of the city.

EDIToR RgPUBLLcAN; Many delegates
have arrived from Massachusetts, Now York,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan,
Kansas, Missouri, Tennessee, Virginia and
District Of Columbia, and many more from
other States are expected by tomorrow
morning, among them representatives from
| several working women's associations.
Last night a sort Of reunion and free,
| friendly discussion was held at tho parlors
ofthe American Hotel, when the prospects,
ln different regions, for the workingmen's
Interests were stated TO be very promising,
and various projects were discussed, such as
the reduction Of interest, the wrong and dis
continuation Of national bank system, land
monopoly, &c.
The various points OF = platform to be
submitted to the Congress, were suggested,
among which are: A sound, uniform aud
elastic currency; placing a larger proportion
Of taxation for support Of the Government
on the mass Of banking and other capital.
Discontinuance Of issuing bills OF credit for
circulation, and opposition to paying the
bonds In other funds than Is specifically
stated In the law. The Issuing of certificates
Of value by the Government to be receivable
for all dues, taxes, &C., convertible at the
| option Of tho holder 10 Government bonds.
| Prohibiting the distribution Of the public
lands to any but actual settlers and cultiva-
tors-and In limited quantlties-disposing of
none TO monopolies or chartered companies.
A law Of Congress positively limiting the
hours OF labor to eight hours.
And very important, among other meas
ures demanding the establishment Of 4 Gov
eminent department Of labor and labor
statistics.
These arc among the principal features OF
the workingmen's platform. Others will re.
ceive attention, and be discussed In the con.
gress, and when determined upon or adopted
will at once send II to you.
On most points there Is earnest unanlmty,
though on some points there is some differ.
ence Of feeling. The sessions promise to be
highly interesting, and the action will prove
the workingmen To be u power In the land
that will make selfish politicians bethink
themselves. D. 8. q.

JouRSALIsM,-rh well-neant enterprise
Of some OF the Boston newspaper men was
defeated In curious manner the other night.
There was sensational meeting at the
South End late In the evening, and a friendly
policeman hired small boy TO 20 and notify
the Post editors. Mr.. Harlow, who presldes
at night, had visions of a good exclusive,
and he gave the boy a dollar to go directly
home aud keep away from the other offices
with his information. Small boy thought
that II 1t was worth dollar to one paper II
was TO another, and he stralghtway yisite
the other editorial rooms, aud by shrewdly
representing that he had not and would not
visit any other offices, he was literally re-
warded by the several night editors. When,
an hour later, the several reporters arrived
at the scene, there was mutual establishment
and profanity all around. Harlow gener'
ously offers q weeks salary II the small boy
can DO found.

SIandering Women.

Tie Cleveland Plaindealer has the
following just remarks upon the practice
of slandering women, suggested by the
late tragedy in Kokomo, the shooting of
Nanharn by Lieut.. Daugherty. Nam
harm had fabricated base report to
the injury of the Lieutenant's sister, an
estimable and innocent young lady, and
refused to retract or apologize:
There are some men in this world who
seem to delight in slandering women,
forgetting the sex of their mother. The
manner in which the slanderer proceeds
TO the dissemination of his poison, differs
only in the amount of intellect he may
bring to the execution of his foul task.
Men of depraved nature, and even men
who pass muster in society as gentlemen,
seem to find a morbid delight in castirg
indecent as PERSONS upon the character OF
women; the purer and more estimable
the person may be whom they can in
jure by their poisonous gossip, the great
or their delight. If we were disposed to
be charitable towards these dealers in
moral slime. we should call this propensi-
ty to SANDER the weaker sex, a monoma.
mia; for most always the SANDERS are
fashioned out Of whole cloth, or have
but the flimsiest gossip for a foundatson.
Society recognizes this meanness as one
OF the most detestable that man can be
guilty OF, and is disposed to consider few
punisbments too severe for its perpetra-
tor.

THE WIGHT .zFrER CHRISTMAS.
Twas the night after Christmas when all through tn

Twas the night after Christmas when all through the
house
Every soul was abed, and still $ mouse;
Those stockings so lately St. Nicholas care,
Were empty of all that was eatable there;
The darGings had been duly tucked in their beds
With very full stomaehs and pains in their heads.
