fTHfL TRIUMPH.

| HAVANA, Jan. IL nave Dccn invorcu since i
last wretc you with the pcrusal Of letters from va
rious Cubans at different points OF the island now
rescued from the Spanish yoke, directed to their
friends in this city and hand you herewith several
very interesting extrscts, which have been allowed
! TO Gull from them. These 90 very far 10 prove the
existence and the regular working OF systematized
| republican government, and the success OF the
Cuban arms in the specified portions OF the island.
| GUInARILLo, Oct. 1G,-History will soy with truth
that there has not been either in ancient or modern
| times q more orderly revolution nor one more
worthy Of the cause wo defend. Neither soldiers
officers have ever given one thought TO refnuncr
alton. Poorly clothed. almost barefoot scantily
supplied with arms and powder, az they are, they
yet the terror OF their clustering enemies, who
dare not move nom their towns unless they have
fair grounds 10 hope they will not meet their enc
\ mics. The Spnnhrds revenge themselves by
| NUMBERING DrrrNcELEss CHILDREN
women, and old men. Civilized nations will with
difficulty credit the atrocities Of which they
guilty. When through their spies or other means
they feel sure of not cncountering troops, they
sally forth Ike hyonas killing the unnrmed inhabi
! r,nts, aud retreat before the smallest body Of
| CuDans.
We trust that We have earned tile sympathy OF
foreign nations, but rely on our own enorts.
SEND Us PovDsR AND ARMS.
| Arms and powder, we want nothing else. Why do
not the Americans recognize as belliyercnts Do
| We not occupy twothrds OF the Islandf Have VIC
not had for more than a yesr an ORGANIZED Govern
| ment aud a good administration Do We not fight
| for the holiest Of carscsi Do We not sacrifice our
| property and our blood for the redemption Of our
| slavesi
My family and myself almost destitute Of cloth
ne. yet we are content. and do not regret the want

Noyoto and af,cr they rad passed. our outposts,
| formidable DISCHARGE showed them that they would
| meet with spirited resistance. The Cubsns d.
rec,ed their fire against the enemy from sdera-
| bile elevation. and brought down men faster than
the Spaniards could carry taem away After con
siderable
FIGHTING,
seeing thst the spaniards began to retreat, tic Gu
bans made ioint " retreaung also. The Spn!ards
sought 10 take advantage OF this, and entered the
| cuban camp Not n khOt was heard Tor some t1nc,
bnt suddenly volicys were poured in upon them and

The attack on MOyoto Was repeated on H. 2gtii and
the loss TO the spaniards was then still heavier,
their dead numbering 10 among whom were many
OF men and artillery with which to attack the posi-
ton again.
We may now be confident of
ruE Success OF TIE REVOLUTION,

though capable OF accommodating l,o0O. sick, is com

In this city everything has been quiet since IN
