Some difficulty has occurred In the western part q
the island In that rich and productive district
known az the yuelto Abalo. From Conso acion del
Sur correspondent OF OF the cify papers writes
that at halfpast O'Clock the night OF the 10th

were heard throughout the place, calling tho
various regiments OF volunteers TO the plaza.
Here details made fron each branch Of the SER
vice. and ut early morn OF the 2lst the force marched
into the country The writer states that he cannot
he more explicit al present, but promises something
more as soon as matters are developed. The AFFAIR
has a.sed some Speculation, and rumors OF land
ing In the Western Department are current.
From Puerto Principe dates are to the 22d. Opera
tlons continue with no variety of result. The estate
Roseco, belonging to Corne 10 Poero had been WIS
led by QUE of the columns and found entirely aban
doned. Two hogsheads Of sugar, some sals and
other supplies were discovered and destroyed. Be-
yond this nothing OF importance was accomplished.

mentions that small body of volunteers Stationed
at the encampment Of Congo, not far from the city,

Your correspondent at Santiago de Cuba under

Manzano to join his regiment In that jurisdiction.

Catalan element here, which considers that the best
means OF suppressng the insurrectiOn1s IS by killing
every Cuban, whether innocent or guilty, the ideas
OF the journal mentioned can be understood. We
have through Official sources reports of the con.
tinued pursuit Of the insurgents, but deails OF
any interest are furnished us. Supplies are being
constantly sent to the 1ed and, wounded men are
continually brought in here. indicating that lighting

Tne Cubans hero, without naming the locality OF
furnishing any details state that nEt or consdera.
bic importance has tlken place in the Eastern DE.
p1rtment, In which the Spaniards were w0rsted
with much loss.
1t is positively stated here that negotiations are
going on between Spain aud the United States for the
sale OF this island and the energetic protests against
1t made by the journals here would seem to Indi-
cate some truth in the statement.
There rum0rs OF the landing OF an expedition
on the north coast, In the vicinity OF Morou.
For some reason the authorities of late have re.
fused permission for newspapers to come on shore.
Not even the ordinary flies to the c0nsgnees Of the
respective lines or to the vessels the harbOr
are allowed TO be sent of. In this they are doubt
less actuated by the feeling which prompts the
ostrich TO hide his head IN the sands Of MS native
deserts.
