WASHINGTON, Aug 19.--Furthcr intelligence
from Cuba was received here this morning.
The dates are no later than the 9th instant but
they contain additional news.
The force sent out by Gen. Quesada attacked
the Spanish force movins from Ranches to join
Gen. Lesca at Nuevitas. 1t was their entire
force occupying that place. After an engage
ment of an hour the Spaniards fell back and
attempted to secure their retreat to Nuverital
COL Neravo, commanding the Cubans, had
made preparations for this, and the troops, find
ing their retreat cut Oft, again formed, and af-
ter short engagement were defeated, and the
entire force was captured. The Cuban losses
are reported at Is killed and 81 wounded, viii lie
the loss of the Spaniards was q killed, 90
wounded and 81 prisoners This is regarded
as an important triumph.
Gen. Jordan sent out force to reconnoitre
near Trinidad, and an attempt was made to
capture them, when fight ensued, which re-
suited in the defeat Of the Spanish forces and
the capture of 56 prisoners. In the commence
ment Of the fight over 100 Spaniards deserted,
joined the Cubans and took part in the fight.
A small party conveying train of prisoners
near Sagua Legrande, it is reported, were at
tackled bya superior force Of Spaniards, de-
feated and their train captured. Another small
party were captured near Puerto Principe,
numbering so men, all of whom, it is said
were executed in the plaza of the city imme
diately on their arrival. The fate of these men
creates intense excitement among the Cubans,
who demand immediate retaliation. General
Quesada, these letters state, hoping for inter
ference on the part Of civilized governments,
has not yielded to the demands of the troops.
HAVANA, Aug. 19.-Reconnojtering parties
recently sent out have attacked and destroyed
several insurgent encampments within the ju-
risdction of Cienco Villas. 7.re
Captain General DeRodas has issued orders
forlthe completion of the Havana aqueduct. I
The directors of the Havana railroad have
been removed for the misuse of the funds OF
the company and are held responsible by the
tribunals. The books of the company have
been delivered to the Captain Generals secre-
tary for examination and an election for new
directors has been ordered. as.r

PENDLEToN's ACCEPTANCE.

Z CINCINNATI, Aug. 19.-Pendleton's accept
ance of the nomination for Governor of this
State will be published tomorrow. He COM
pllments Gen. ROsecrans and others who were
before the convention, and concludes as fol-
lows:
Gov. Hayes, in his speech at Wilmington,
forgot to allude to the 18th amendme MT, and
his views on that important question. Discus
sing finances, he said: eve are in the midst
OF peace, yet money is scarce and business is
depressed" He might shave added that en-
ployment was difficult to be obtained, labor
was badly rewarded, industrial pursuits were
hampered, enterprising men engaged in bust
ness were standing on the verge Of bankrupt
cy, interest is enormously high aid tariff is
oppressive, internal taxation is most unequal
unjust and erroneous; that dead captallis ex-
empted and active capital and labor is weighed
down. Warming with the picture, he might
also have siad that for eight years the Repuh-
lican party has been in absolute possession of
the government, and that a Republican Secre-
tary OF the Treasury has now control of the
money market of the country, and that he
uses his power only to still further contract the
currency and increase hard times by over due
bonds at S1.20, which by law he is entitled to
pay at par, thereby taking 500 from every S100
from tax payers, and giving it to bond holders.
The farmer, merchant and manufacturer will
find why these things are SO, and what is the
cause, and what is the remedy. They are i'm
por4ant questions This fall they will touch
Democrats as well as Republicans alike They
be considered with calmness, reason, purest
motives and the best of judgment. In this
spirit l shall discuss them as soon as / am able
to take part with my friends in the activity of
the canvass. Of the results in October we
need have no fears

REPLY OF BARON Won BEUsT TO THE PRus
SIAN MINISTER.
VIENNA, Aug. 19.-Baron Won Beust has re-
pied TO the recent note of Herr Won Thicle,
aGtihg RUSSIAN Minister OF Foreign Affairs
he asserts that he thought verbal explanation
sufficient to remove the misunderstanding be-
tween the two Governments, and desire 10
avoid a useless correspondence. Inc ffiine
Minister insists that what he SAID IN cpninit
tee was of a private character, anu tiiae the
transactions of q parliamentary committee are
not within the control of foreign Governments.
He declines to enter into discussion of what
was said there, but will not withhold his opin-
ion on the questions caused by inaccurate
newspaper statements. Referring TO the in
terpretation by the Vienna Cabinet of mill
tary treaties between Naples and the South
German States, he says that in concilatory
dispatch sent to the Austrian Minister at Ber-
llH III tcDt, HOtulUr was SAID as to
whether the treaty with Prague prevented the
Southern States from concluding treaties with
other States ia Germany, but it was stated
that certain well known agre ements proceed
ing the signature of the treaty were CON
earned, making it impossible to decide wheth-
er clause relating to the International indie
pendence of the Southern States was omitted
as matter of no Importance, or because its
Importance was so great that it should have
been otherwise worded. Baron Won Beust
does not admit that he should be called to ac-
count for words which newspapers alege were
uttered by him, yet he is willing to soften and
remove any existing unpleasantness to enter
into correspondence with regard to concilia-
tory endeavors made on either side during the
last year which have possibly been miscon-
strue1. The circumstance that there had been
no intercourse between Count Won Mnipffes,
Austrian Ambassador at Berlin, and Count
Won Bismarck for some time is alluded to-
The dispatch explains that this was owing
to the alternate absence of both the gentlemen
from Berlin from the spring of 1868 till the
close of that year. After the return of Bis
marck continuous and violent attacks in the
public press on Austria gave the Austrian
government cause TO recommend that Count
Won Willpffen should abstain from resisting
Bismarck - a
The Austrian Premier concludes by declar-
ing that the reproach that Austria intended TO
prolong her attitude of reserve cannot better
be disposed of than by referring to the unin
terrupted intercourse between himself and
Baron Won Wether, the Prussan Minister at
Vienna. .a st t..+
