Vamaseda has been heard from. For some
months past shut up in the city he had captured
with so much eclat and compelled to rest in inglo
rious indolence he sends forth to the world and to
the ever detested and never sufficiently to be de-
spised insurrects the following proclamation

BAYAMO, April 4, 1860. Count VALMASEDA.
1t is evident yalmaseda does not consider the in
surrecton over and, like Mena, at Puerto Principe
and Loo at Las Tunas he desires the presence OF the
women TO protect him. Whether the government
will approve of this order to the troops to shoot
down those who may happen to be from home, the
establishment OF the principle that man is bound to
prove himself innocent the burning OF uninhablted
houses and wholesale war on women Is question.
From its antecedents it probably will.
According to Spanish accounts 1000 families have
presented themselves to General valmaseda Tor pro-
lection He had ordered General Ampudia to make
the following communication to the Captain Gene
ral:-"Inform his Excellency that have the enemy
so disconnected that ne does not know where to GO,
flying terrified; that columns Of 200 men are ample
for pursuing the remaining factions Many are the
surprises made by the i've columns sent out, and
the killed OF the insurgents exceed ninety large
quantity Of arms munitions and horses have been
taken. Among the killed are Colonel Graces two
named Aguilera Modesto Diaz. Carlos Manuel and
Pancho Aguilera owed their safety to mere
chance"
Government officials continue active In sequestrat-
ing the property Of absentees and large properties
have been seized. As stated o few days since, an
embargo was served on Mr.. John Nennnger. OF the
house OF C. Burnham Co., and Vice President OF
the Cuban Gable. for property supposed to be held
by him, belonging to Fernandez Bramosio lawyer,
now in New York. 1t appears, however,

ner to lead to the conviction that expedition had
been captured. Some excitement was created In
the better informed circles here recently by the fact
that the volunteers refused to release prisoner
named Belisano Alvarez Cespedes. q rela-
tive of Carlos Manuel Cespedes, arrested on
gultless and ordered set at liberty on the 27th
ult. Dulce went over and great row followed.
The man was released, but the volunteers were very
much dissatisfied with the matter, and threatened
their Colonel, Zulueta, who did not appear when
a new commander will be appointed. On the occa-
sion OF the disturbance one OF the volunteers made
very sensible speech claiming that spirit Of in
surrectonary influences. In the Cerro, an outskrt
OF the city, near the Tupan Railroad Station and
the Bishops Garden an artillery volunteer recently
assaulted the house Of Senior Montaro at half-past
ten O'Clock at night, and shot white servant, who
died IN few hours. In searching for the owner he
outrageousy insulted the lady OF the house. Senior
Montalr0 managed 10 escape and gave the alarm to
the watchman, who secured the volunteer. An In
vestigation Is taking place. and the wife Of the
volunteer, experimenting the death penalty, refuses
all food and is In dying condition. The gunboat
Punta Photo, three miles in shore, he found seventy
rebels. He sent ashore twenty men, who routed
them, causing considerable loss.
The Toz de cuba says the police recently surprised
house In Aguila street, where were concealed q
quantity OF arms. Yesterday morning the battalion
OF Chasseurs de Reus left by train for Batabano en-
route for the insurrectionary districts. The Monte
yuma sailed this morning with troops for Gbara.

his sons. He IL going to Spain, and 10 said to be
greatly dsgusted with affairs IN the interior.
