Cuba-Reperted Capture Of MAINTAIN
zas and Investment of Santiago.

The New York Sun publishes the fol-
lowing intelligence, derived from gem
tleman who had spent nine weeks in Ha-
vana and Santiago:
Gen. Jordan arrived at Port Plate on
the 9th ultimo, on business connected
with the Cuban cause. He intends to re-
turn to the front in about week. he
claims that q large force of insurgents,
mainly composed of ex-Confederate sol
diers, captured Mantanzas on the day
previous to his departure, and were then
investing Santiago, where they intend ees-
tablishing their capital Havana sill be
the next objective point, and, should they
he successful there, Cuban independence
ia a Fixed fact. The Spaniards them
selves acknowledge this, and one OF them
in Port Plate was frank enough to say
so to Gen. Jordan himself, and he added
that they did not expect TO hold Havana
six months longer.
Several instances may be mentioned OF
the brutality ofthe Spaniards in ouIrages
committed in their impotent rage upon
those unfortunates who have fallen into
their mower. About q week before our
informant left, the young and beautiful
wife Of respectable citizen Of Havana
pinned a small Cuban flag on her breast
during the performance Of SonambHld
in the Opera House, and shouted, "viye
la Cuba" A Spaniard Immediately
arose in bis seat, and, drawing revolver,
shot her dead. Another lady, who had
beeu detected in sending arms and am
munition TO the insurgents, was SEN
fenced BY the Spanish authorities to the
changing for life
Nassau is full of Cubans, with whom
and their cause the population are IN
hearty sympathy. The city is gay with
Cuban Gags, flying defantly from every
house, and every second person you NEE!
has either small Cuban flag on his hat
in front or badge, similar in shape to
those which were so popular here during
our war.

From the Cincinnati ELluirer.l
There is a beautiful row brewing, just
about now, over the Office of Supervisor
of Internal Revenue for the Southern
District of Ohio, to which first class
prizs fight, with supplementary scrim-
mage between hackers, betters and look
ers-on, wouldn't be circumstance.
General Schenck aud Commissioners
Delano. are the principals Delano is
supposed to have aspirations Senate
ward, and wants the patronage attached
to the Supervisors Office, with which to
persuade unwilling members of the Legis-
lature hereafter that he is the most de-
serving individual. Consequently Gen
eral Young must be sacrificed. But
General Young, who received the place
in consideration of his gallant services
in voting for Scheuck an indefinite num-
ber of times in the Republican legislative
caucus that nominated John Sherman, is
not so easily gotten rid of, for lol the
doughty Schenck backs him and swears
vengeance on all who molest him That
revenue apprenticeship is Schenck's oys-
ter, and he means to open it and extract
the Senatorial pearl therefrom, despite
of Delano and all his red-tape charges
against Young of incompetency. We
can tell both the contestants, that if the
next United States Senstorship is all the
row is about, they may just as well stop
the quarrel, because Democratic Legis-
lature is to do the electing, and the little
crumbs that may be distributed by q rev.
enue supervisor will, consequently, have
no purchase in them.

DecIine I'm American shipping.

Says the New York Herald: while
the ship yards and machine shops oil
America are idle, for five miles along
the Clyde are heard the din and clangor
Of iron, under the strokes of British work
men, who are now building more ships
than all the world beside. None who pass
alcrg our New York piers can fail to
notice the prevalence the British flag has
above our national ensign. The British
now maintain one hundred and sixty-four
lines of steamers to foreign countries,
employing an immense feet of ships,
many of large size. Sixty-eight steam
ers Of English nationality ply between
the ports Of the United States and Europe.
while an American seeks in vain to return
bomeward by steam from a British port
under the American flag. On the other
hand. the instability Of our revenue laws
and their discriminating and partial
character have combined to hasten the
decline of American commerce and ship
ping"
