THE LATEST CUBAN MAssACRE.-The follow
ing details of the late terrible butcheries near
the Ell Cobre district of Santiago de Cuba are
March 9th: "The unfortunate Cubans massa-
cred near Ell Cobre were conducted to the
place of immolation in two parties. The Gov
ernor of Santiago had sent for them, and the
volunteers, fearing an attempt at rescue, made
an agreement with the Valmaseda contra guer-
rilas to shoot them on the way. They did this
with the appreciation of the Spanish mob in
Ell Cobre The Spaniards hung out banners
in front of all their houses and paraded the
streets with bands of mnsic, and made other
demonstrations of Joy. In Santiago they
would have been equally merry and bOisterOus
had not Gov. Ajedo utterly forbid it. Among
the victims were two American citizens, who
persisted in the same way as those at Jiguari
at the hands of PalacOs. After the execution
an allowance of grog was distributed among
the victorious soldiery, with liberty to despoil
the cOrpses, which were Immediately stripped
of all their clothing and valuables, and then
left for two days in the broiling sun, and after
wards thrown naked into a common hole With
er they were dragged by the feet"
An Havana letter of the 10th states that 400
men landed at Cienaga, and with body of
Cubans marched to sugar estate where they
erected Notifications. In consequence of this
nearly 1000 Spanish troops have been sent to-
ward Cienaga.
1t is rumored in Havana that Captain Gene
raj de Rodas leaves for Spain by The Fl st of
April.
Goicura's expedition had safely joined the
Cubans eluding the Spanish troops sent after
him. Both Goyereche and Pueblo, who left
with two divisions to capture the Cuban capt.
tai are mud bound, and have not succeeded in
any efforts to whip the Cublns.
Small pox and typhus have ragged among the
Spaniards in Santa Espiritu.
The property of sixty-six more Cubans, most
OF whom are in the United states, mas peen
cOnfiscated.
The subscription paper started in Havana py
the German Consul for Greenwald' family mas
reached the sum of $5424
The Portland daily press., 1870-03-19
Mrs. Frances Anderson.

1t was with feelings of the deepest regret
that we read in the mortuary columns of the
PRESS few days since the announcement of
the death of Mrs. Frances Anderson, widow OF
DR.. Edward Anderson and sister of Hon.
Lemuel Perley and DR.. Perley of Naples.
The late Mrs. Anderson was lady of su-
perior culture and refinement, of quiet unas-
Stunning manners, and had especially endeared
herself to all who enjoyed the privilege of her
society. Possessed of rare conversational DOW
ers and an extended acquaintance with for
eign languages and literature she won her
way at once to the respect and attention of all
with whom she was brought in contact.
Some years since Mrs. Anderson spent a
long time abroad in company with her hus-
band and gained an extensive knowledge of
the manners and customs of foreign countries,
being close observer of everything that
would instruct and improve her already we'll
stored mind and contribute to the enjoyment
of her tour. She early sank into decline
and made another European visit hoping that
her health might be benefited thereby but
alas! the fatal seeds of consumption had
taken deep root and it was feared at one time
that she would never be sufficiently restored
to return to her home alive. A kind Provi-
dence however, ordered it otherwise and she
was permitted once more to reach her native
country and, on Thursday the 14th instant,
at her home in Naples, surrounded by loved
ones, her pure spirit winged its flight to that
higher sphere in which it had always seemed

Letter from Lewiston. -
LEWISTON, March17. 1876

To the Editor of the Press:
As has been telegraphed, no choice was made
on Tuesday in the second trial for Mayor. The
result was fully anticipated, and the two wings
of the Republican party, together with that of
the Democracy, mustered all their available
force, and the contest was quite exciting.
Several communications have appeared in
print, with the intention of enlightening the
public of what was conceived to be the true
issue in the recent struggle for Mayor. Some
very plausible stories have emanated from
those, fear, who are SO anxious for the
triumph of their particular favorite, that they
have totally evaded the true facts of the case.
As much as dissension in the Republican
ranks is to be deplored, it does not show true
Republican spirit to allow our prejudices to
supercede our judgment.
The worthy senior editor of the Journal has
been the point of attack, but so far as my
knowledge has led me, I have seen nothing in
his course but what should be commended by
all lovers of temperance and republcanism.
The third trial for Mayor takes place Satur-
day, and the result, with three candidates in
the field, is looked forward to with considera-
