CUBA, REPORT OF INsURGENT OPERA
T1osNs.-Gen. Quesada has written the Cuban
Juuta report of the operations of the Cuban
army during the opening scenes OF the war:
He claims that the government of the United
States and Great Britain are ignorant of what
has happened in consequence of the facility
with which the Spaniards can disseminate
false news. He will leave for Washington to-
morrow aud will wait on the Secretary of State
and present his credentials as Cuban Ambas-
Cubans in New York and Washington on the
snhiect. as a number of influential members of
CONGRESS- are reported to favor Quesada's
claims.
in Cuba states that in October a Spaniard
named Tejada made such earnest application
to be put on his staff that suspicious of his
LOYALTY were aroused. BE was searched, and
a commission being. found on him from the
CAPTAIN General authorizing him to assassin
ate Cespedes and Quesada, his reward to be
eg9 O,,O. He was executed. A conspiracy
having been discovered among some seUen hun
drod SnaNish prisoners who had taken an oath
not to take up arms against Ouoa, on me Htn
done to ensure the safety of the Cubans and
partially as a reprisal for the slaughter OF pri-
toner's by the Spanish generals, who had pre-
viou sly refused to conduct the war as civil
lixed nation.
Ouesada stated that he called council of
war and submitted proposition that he should
come to the United States as the accredited
commissioner of the Cuban Republic to inform
Americans and the American government of
the true status of affairs and the progress made
nv the Patriots. TIE mand of the army
Vas turned over to Gen. Jordan and Quesada
vas duly commissioned to this government by
President Cespedes.
Gen, Cavada, in January, sent strong
forcs info the rich district of Colon to destroy
the cane fields. Quesada left on the 18th of
;yanuarv. Everything was going on pros
narously for the Cuban cause.
The following is the force of the Cubans:
the total army roll is 81, 6S8; firearms, 2Ol5
cannons, 10 machetes, 6o7O5; lances, 1900
There are in the territory occupied by the
Cnbau forces, sxtee public schools, six Catho-
lie churches, one Episcopal church, and four
Masonic lodges, There are stored sugars,
molasses, cereals, tobacco aud hides TO the
value of MANY millions of dollars, which can
not be realized on for lack of expectation. An
immense deposit of guano has been discovered
in the caves of Nejasa, Cubitas, and elsewhere,
which is being converted into powder. The
tanneres supply the army with 42OO to 450o
hides per month. The shoe factories turn out
600 pairs of shoes per month. In the arm
factories machetes and lances sufficient for the
army are manufactured, and old-fashioned
ouns converted into RemingtOns. One pc wder
manufastory furnishes fifty pounds per day.
The other four have not yet commenced work
The cartrid &c shops supply 1900 caps and 1000
metallic cartridges per day. In the Central
Department number of estates are producing
suear on account Of the Republic. and crops
of coffee. tobacco, rice, corn and all classes OF
vegetables are more abundant now than they
ever were in time of peace.

Banishing Nitro Glycerine..

The peculiar danger Of using nj.
tro glycerine, as Of gun-cotton and
ali other nitrate compounds, ex-
cept gunpowder, are unavoidable,
because the sources from which
they arise are totally unknown
The characteristics Of gunpowder
are understood. 1t is a compound
staple and Trustworthy enough /;
never exploding, except under con
ditions which everybody knows
But nitro lycerinc--to speak in
the present connection solely of
that article-has tricks wholly be
yond the comprehension of the
ablest chemists. Though under
some circumstance it is less liable
to decomposition than gunpowder,
under others, which cannot be fore,
seen and provided against, "it goes
off itself" In a word, it is an
unstable compound" in th3 Ian.
guage Of ch hemistry, resen bling in
that respect the powders made
from chlorate or picrate Of potash,
chlorate ofnitrogen, and other pro
duets in which the nitrogen is not
held in a grasp sufficiently firm by
the other agents by which it is
united. Some of the dreadfully
disastrous nitro glycerine explo-
sion that have occurred may
be directly traceable to the careless
ness of employees, but the most Of
them undoubtedly have resulted
from causes inherent in the cOmpo
sition of the substance. 1t is q
great misfortune that this should
BE the case, for if nitro glycerine
could be depended upon with the
sense of security as gunpowder, it
would entirely supercede the latter
in heavy blasting business on land
and under water, being far the su-
perior Of gunpowder in cheapness
and efficiency. Since these mys-
terious perils accompany the use
of nitro glycerine, we lIaye no hes
itation in suggesting that its man
ufacture and employment should
be forbidden by legislation. 1t
chills the blood to read, as we have
so frequently done, of men blown
to atoms, rows Of houses shattered
to the ground, and devastation
spread far and wide by the eXplo-
sion Of factories by a can of this
terrible agent of death. The loss
to the world by It's Punishment will
be slight, after all, compared to the
dangers resulting fronrits use, for
in gunpowder we shall still possess
an agent powerful enough to re-
move mountains, and do all the gi-
gigantic work required by the en-
gineering genius Of the age N

Of God, and not to show off the

EDITORS HERALD:

GDllOhb LlEhALD
Being on flying visit across TIN
Western portion of your county
few days ago, was somewhat sur
prised to see the spirit Of improve
ment that manifested itself every
where-particularly in the improve
ment of the roads and stock
Whilst thus engaged in thought,
took up at the house of Mr.. Jesse
Heagler After partaking OF the
hOspitalities Of the house, we took
a walk among the Short Horns =
The first that caught my eye was
the young bull, Clay, 2 years old,
whose faultless form and rich red
color, with his proud and lofty car
riage, must command the attention
of all good judges of fine cattle
Next we came to Lady Jane, got
by imported Maria, out Of import
ed Lady Jane. Next came the two
Ladies Long, one of which was
by imported Car, out of Lady Bon
berry, whose dam was imported,
and beautiful red, three years old.
To look at the massive forms, fine
coats, and the unmistakable i'm
press Of high breeding Of these
COWS, one was almost irresistably
driven to the conclusion that ma
ture had put forth her best ener-
gies to produce a herd of fine COWS
Mr.. II. has quite a number of
thoroughbred COWS and heilers be-
sides those spoken of aboy a,among
which are the cows bought at D.
McMillen's sale, in June last,

young Starlight, who is one of the
very best of his family-a family
that has become historic in Ohio.
The very touch of this animal, by
an experienced judge, leaves an i'm
preston on his mind never to be
To see six or eight
Starlight calves at Mr.. Heagler's,
with their fine forms, good growth
and silken- fine quality, l think it,
would be hard to find their equal
in this country.
The next treat for the eye was a
lot of pure bred McGee hogs, and
a lot of pigs, which he intends to-

exhibitors, to see these would be

ADVICE FOR BoYs.-Boys read
something useful every day some
thing to reflect upon while on your
work or road to school. Be inquis-
itive-fhd out things, Don't let
the blood pass from your heart to
your tingers' ends thousands of
times and you know nothing of its
motions, Store your minds early
with wisdom. Read a little every
day.
Remember Roger Sherman. He
was one of the noblest examples of
how much self cultivation mag do
for a man. His school privileges
were Of the most ordinary kind.
Early in life lie was apprenticed
to a shoemaker, and instead of join
ing in the vulgar conversation so
common to many of his compan-
ions, he would sit at his work with
an open book before him, and de-
vote every moment that his eyes
could be spared from the occupa-
ton in which he was engaged to
reading,
Be saving of your little allow
ance, and buy books. Lives of
good and great men-men such as
Washington and Howard, and a
host Of others, whose virtues have
their names immortal
Cultivate taste for reading. The
field of interest and instruction to
which it will lead you is boundless.

1t has been circulated in certain
quarters that Colonel Loudon and
his friends are persistent in their
opposition to John A. Smith for
Congress, even to the point of the
defeat of the Republican party in
the district. For myself, and on
behalf of Colonel Loudon, whom /
have earnestly and vigorously sup
ported, say such report is who'll
ly and unqualifedly false. ] shall
support Mr. Smith if he remains
the candidate, and shall work for
his election, and I am much mistak-
en- in Colonel Loudon and his 9th
er friends if they do not do the
same. Whai | desire most is the
unity of the Republican party in
this county, and its success in the
district, and while | could have
given a more cheerful support to
Colonel London, | think it a mat
ter of grave doubt whether, at this
late day, we can change command
ors, in theface of the enemy, with
out eHsuring defeat.
I. @ H1IDEBRANr.
We clip the above card from
the last number Of the Wilmington
Journal. 1t has the true ring Of a
genuine Republican, who thinks
more of bis Republican principles
than he does Of electing a personal
friend to office. Mr.. Hildebrant is
one of the four London delegates
from Union township, in Clinton
county, whose right to a seat IN
the convention was rejected. We
are sure that if all the friends of
Colonel Loudon in the district will
act in accordance with the noble
suggestions of Mr.. Hildebrant,t there
is not the slightest danger of the
9th district being represented in
Congress by a Democrat. His ex-
ample is eminently worthy of imi-
tation. Our Democratic friends
who have been deceiving them
solves with the idea that they were
going to have an easy passage for
their candidate to the Capitol, will
find that "Jordan am a hard read
to trabble."-[Eds. Herald.l
