CUBAN NEWS FROM CUBAN SOURCES
Havana correspondence contains some interest
ing intelligence. Another American citizen,
Mr: Joseph Duany, was seized By the Spanish
authorities on the 5th instant, thrown into
prison, and refused permission to communicate
with any one outside. He was on his way from
Vera Cruz TO New York, and had touched at
Havana By the merest accident the news of
the outrage reached the ears of Consul Genera
Blddle: The executions of Cubans convicted of
disloyalty continue throughout the land. Two in
surgent recruiting officers in the Sagua district
were hunted down with bloodhounds and
captured One OF them named Terra was so
badly bitten and mangled by the dogs that
when he was executed he was unable TO stand,
and was obliged to receive the fatal bullets
sitting IN chair, A rumor prevailed In Havana
near Bayamo.

The CABINET.-The air continues to be filed
with rumors of still farther changes in the cabi-
net, growing out of the withdrawal of Mr.. Hoar,
and in some quarters general reor gani alton is
confidently looked for. The truth at present is,
We have good reasons tor believing. that the
President does not himself contemplate or
expect any farther changes; nor can Ii be learned
that any of the gentlemen constituting his Off
cial advisers themselves propose to change exist
ing relations. Yet, in view of recent events,
additional changes, or, indeed, an entire recon
stTuction, would not be surprising.
