Caibarien, June 4, 1870.
The Yoz de cuba has private accounts, but they
lished in Puerto Principe The only thing additional
mentioned is that the Eco discovering the landing
hasened to Nuevitas and there obtaining the assist
ance Of the gunboat and the artillerymen returned
TO Punta Bravo.
The report given in these kilograms is not fully
credited here, 10y the Spanards. The fact that
no mention is made of the steamer indicates
that che must have completed her landing and
sailed away before her discovery by the Eco, and
doubtless portion OF her cargo had been moved
into the interior The RATS mentioned are such as
prepared to effect the landing before the ar
rival, ana the Cubaps say that only the load Of one
OF these captured.
In commenting upon the expedition the press Of
the city is inclined TO regard the United States Gov
without fear Of these expeditions, says 1t is much
easier 10 prevent the sailing of them than the dis
embarkation as there are seven hundred leagues OF
coast to guard. This is considerable letting down
from the loud boasts Of the naval force which formed
q Gordon about the island to prevent all landing. "
contrast is drawn between the action OF the
Washington Government in the matter of the Fe-
mans and OF the insurgents here, with the conclu-
sion that less consideration is shown to Spain than
to Great Britain.
There is nothing further OF interest from the insur-
refton, and IL is evident the efforts OF the Spanards
are relaxing as the warm weather comes on.
Dates from Cinco Villas TO the Sd mention the cap
ture OF an envoy or agent of Bembeta, who was
tally wounded before being taken. The papers here
contain an account of the capture by fourteen
Spanish soldiers OF cannon defended by 150 insur-
gents in the mountains OF Sanct Spiritus.
Speaking OF the proposed protest OF the United
States and England against the vexatious fines i'm
posed on vessels Ia the ports OF this island the Voz
de Cuba says that the restrictions thrown around
commerce in the porte OF the former power are
greater than in any other country.
