The Army Of the New Republic
Increased by Five Thousand
s-Particulars
Of the Landing.
Says the New York Sun of this morning.

cOngratuation that they have kept their opera
&sions mystery until publicity ceased to be in
furious to their cause. They have, according to
report presented yesterday by the agents of
the Spanish Government, sent 13 expeditions
% Cuba, all of which have been safely landed.
The largest number of men on one of these ex-
petitions was 45O, and the smallest 30.
The materials of war shipped in these vessels
8. Included six batteries of artillery and inn
mense supply of Spencer rifles; and the whole
" number of men which they carried is estimated
t 5000. This full brigade of veterans-the gifG
f. bf the American people to Cuba-is to-day a
{ part of the army of Cespedes, and we may soon
&IbXpect to hear from them in desperate if not
X decisive battle with the Spanards.
The above facts, which come from n Spanish
~ tOurce, are cOrroborated by one of the Cuban
batriots who estimates, however, the accession
10 Cespedes' army from the United States at
Eight thousand men. Seven of the expeditions
ailed from New York, three from Baltimore,
lnd three from Florida.
1t is said that all the volunteers who left New
ork for Cuba are in the cavalry arm of the ser
vice. The use of sabres has been discontinued,
(he Spencer rife being deemed more effective.
Another expedition is on foot and the
Veterans, of which 1t will be mainly composed,
will consist of eX-officers of the United States
army.
fThe New Revolt Among the Spanish Volunteers.
According to new Cuban advices from Ha-
Eana, the dissatisfaction of the Spanish vOlun-
z eers, which has just resulted in outbreak,
rose from belief that General PelaeZ and other
hiefs were making money out of the war,
instead of fighting the rebels. Pelaez was ac-
{ used more than month ago of assisting
Lubans to escape, for a bribe, and in a more
recent case of escape or reprieve the charge has
been revived. The charge against Pelaez in its
more recent shape is that he and his colleagues
have been trying to enlarge, and protract the
war in the neighborhood of Cienfuegos and
Trinidad, in order to fill their pockets and OBJ
ain promotion. This plan they pursued in
Santo Domingo.
IL
harge that for large sums Pelaez and his friends
had been selling SdtUO-cOnduCtdS, or safe con-
lucts, that General Dulce determined to visit
Cienfuegos. He abandoned his purpose on
account of falling health and new dangers in
Havana Another circumstance goes to explain
the new outbreak. The Captan-General having
aved from death Isidro Hernandez of Santa
Clara, the volunteers of the place mutinied, de-
handed the life of the prisoner and insulted the
Governor. 1t was feared that, though some of
Rhem had been put in prison, others would be
pble to subject the prisoner to barbarities. The
anne doings have happened in various parts of
the island which, is now, no doubt, completely
nder control of the Spanish rank and file
The Change in the Captain {; eneraIship.
Major-General or Mdriscal de Campo, Don
Felipe Ginovez de Espinar, formerly second in
command to General Dulce, will act as Captain
General in his place till General De Roda ar
lives. His appointment to command is no good
fugury for the Spanish cause. He was one of
Zhe Spanish leaders in the disastrous st. Do
nngo war, and conducted the retreat there
rom of the hungry and ragged Spaniards who
we're trapped into vain struggle by the aVarlce
Santa Anna and the ambition OF
Marshal Serrano and Marshal O'Donnell.
The St. Domingo war resembed
n many respects the present campaign in Cuba,
nd the Spaniards left the island after an i'm
mense number of victories With the retiring
Captain General who is almost in dying con-
dition and anxious to set foot once more in
Spain, the Cubans manifest no sympathy They

Sympathy of the Jamaicans with the Patriots
Writes a correspondent from Kingston, ia
maica, on the Goth ult.:-There is considerable
eXctement here over the Cuban revolution The
city is filled with Cubans refugees from st. Jago
~
hOnary districts of the island. A Spanish steamer
from Havana, via st. Jago, calls at this port
x every month on her way to Aspinwall, and once
- amonth we have communication with st. Jago
z BY a French steamer of the St. Nazaire, West
India line. Other vessels from that place occa-
dOnally arrive here, and we are thus kept
we'll supplied with news as to the progress OF
hat patriotic struggle which seeks TO deliver
~ Cuba from the oppressive and cruel rule OF the
= Spaniard. The sympathies of all classes in this
sand are warmly with the Cubans. The refu-
gees in Kingston are treated with the greatest
consideration and kindness by the citizens,
|# and not a few of them have received
Rtheir own persons convincing proofs OF that
M generous hospitality for which the Jamalcans
are famous. One of the newspapers mere
has a correspondent at ST. Jago, who sup

that language for the special benefit OF the

was received here of the chasing of q Cuban
priyateer-or a vessel supposed to be one-lntC

and of the firing upon the English schooner Elvf

opportunity OF speaking out on the Cuban ques
ton and its utterances certainly lacked neither

markable about the matter is, that the Jamai

become annexed to the United States as they are
