AN1RoEDENTs OF THE NEW REVOLT.
According to the new Cuban advices from
Havana, the dissatisfaction OF the Spanish VOL
unteers. which has just resulted IN outbreak
arose from belief that General Pelaez and
other chiefs were making money ont of the wal
instead OF fighting the rebels. Pelaez was &C
cuaed, more than mouth ago. OF assisting
lTbans to esca % for brihe, and in more re.
cent case OF escape or reprieve, the charge aas
been revived. The charge against PelaeZ
iu its more recent shape Is that he and
his colleagues have been trying 10 Gen en-
hood OF Cienluegos and Trinidad in order to
fill their pockets and obtain promotion. This
plao they pursued in Santo Domingo. 1t was
Tor the purpose of investigating the charge
that for large sums, Pelaez and his friends had
been selling saluo-conductds: or safe CONDUCTS,
that General Dulce determined 10 vlslt Cleh'

med, demanded the life OF tae prisoner anu IN

though some OF them had been put IN pris3n
others would be able 10 subject the prisonerto
barbarities. The same doings have happened
in various parts OF the island, which is now no
doubt, completely under control OF the Spanish
rank and file.
