SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Sept. 10, 1869.
The principal topic OF interest here at present is
the great battle Of Las Tunas, the spanish accounts
Of (which claim for them great victory. need not
repeat them, as they will be furnished you from
Havana. There is no question that the town was
in great part destroyed. Colonel Benegasi, with a
convoy, guarded by 500 men, was on his way to Las
Tunas and the impression is that after destroying
the town the insurgents turned their attention to
Mini. There 10 a statement current here that Bene.
gasi had returned to HOlguin, ana that he Is now
there, hard pressed by Quesada All accounts agree
that the Cubans nave entirely disappeared from the
vicinity OF Las Tunas, which gives coioring to the
rumor that they are before Hoguin.
In reference to the Las Tunas fight not one word
has appeared in the journals here, nor has there
been any OF the usual rejoicings by the Spaniards
following their reported victories, matter how
apocrypha they may be. Though 1t has not been
oficially announced yet it Is well known that Gene.
raj Don Gunon de la Tore is about to be relieved

ValmaseGa made cOmmander-in -in-chlef OF the Eastern

Santiago de Cuba.
Some small bodies OF volunteers left here to-day
FOR C0bre, with what object Is not known. Cuban
named Rafael Duarte was recently arrested here and
that shameless assassin, Valmascda, asked that he
be sent TO Bayamo which the Governor decidedly
refused.
