THE CUBAN REVOLUTION.
Sad State OF Acknowledgements
OF the spanish Troops-The Shooting
OF Captain Lopez.

The letters received from Cuba give sad
picture OF the unhappy state of affairs in that
island. Many outrages are committed by the
Spanish troops and volunteers. Arrests are
very numerous, and widespread alarm pre-
walls among the IeoIle, hundreds of whom are
fleeing from the island to places of safety,
many Of them seeking refuge IN the United
States. A letter from an American IN Cardenas
says:
The revolution is progressing, notwlthstand-
ing all the efforts OF the Spaulards to stop it.
The treasury is bankrupt, and appeals are
made IN the papers for subscriptions to sup
port the volunteers in the field, bat think all
will be IN vain. Iu few months moro the yell
low fever aud cholera will tiud abundant food
in tie ranks OF the unacclimated PenInsulars
that are coming or are already here. They arc
afraid here that the insurgents will make
raid upon them and destroy the crops, though
thew try to put O. bold face upon the matter.
Hundreds are being arrested MI the timo. The
Moro Castle ls SAID to be full Of prisoners.
A letter written from Marzlnillo by native
Cuban says:
Alters here are growing worse AMI worse
every uay. The insurgents are raoldly l1creas-
| lug III number and extending themselves all
over the island. They have taken away the
| Slaves from all b6S 6Stdtt5 III iLlp uClruOOI-
hood and have arned all the able bodied ne
| groes. The Captain-General granted gene
| raj amnesty ior ull the insurgents who would
| lay down their arms but they nave not taken
the least notice OF 1t. On the contrary, their
hatred toward the Spanish Government -eems
to increase daily, AMI they all appear determln'
| ed to throw off the Spanish yoke. Tho City
OF hayama which W 10 the focus of the insur-
rection was completely de troyed on the ap-
| proach OF the Spanish troops and now thou
sands of tamlcs arc wandering about the
country homeless, and II the most deplora bic
&C lug shockngly, stealing and assassinatlng
in every dlrcctio /. Hers wo sec nothing but
soldiers and Spanish volunteers, fur all the
Cuban ycung men have joined the lnsur-
! gents,
