FIRST EDITION
THE ExILED BISHOP OF HAVANA.

Arrival I'm New York-Account of His Ex-
pu1sion-Arrogance Of the Cuban VOlun-
teers.
The steamship Missouri arrived yesterday
from Havana, with large number of passen-
gers, among whom was Bishop Martinez, of
Havana, accompanied by his secretary, Able
Partu, who left this port a fortnight ago to take
charge OF his diocese. On the 18th instant he
arrived at Havana, duly furnished with Episco-
pal authorities from the Cabinet at Madrid, but
was refused permission 10 go ashore.
Bishop Martinez states that he was ordained
Bishop of Havana in 1864, and was accused of
favOring the insurrection because he desired to
regard all his flock with equal solicitude. He
on intimate terms with Captain-General
Dulce, but was disliked by Lersundi-Dulce's
successor because he refused to have the
church bells rung in any cities or villages which
Lersundi might enter, this being an honor only
accorded to an archbishop or bishop.
Bishop Martinez obeyed the summons to at
tend the Gcumencal Council, and at its close
remained some time Mt Marseies, whence he
he came via Paris and Liverpool to Boston. On
learning that he was en- route to Havana, the
Spanish authorities there communicated with
Madrid on the subject, and orders were sent
them to take the votes of the volunteer COM
mandeTs as to whether he should be allowed to
land. This was done, and seven out of ten
voted against allowing him to enter Cuba
On arriving at Havana the Bishop was in
formed by one of the Captain-GeneraIs aides
de-camp that If he would remain In Cuba he
must 20 on hoard the frigate Saragossa, where
he would be treated prisoner. He demanded
this intmation in writing, when the aid with
drew and did not return. The next visit he re-
ceived was from the chief the municipality,
who was barely civil. The Bishop made the
same request to him. and with the same result.
He then addressed formal protest to Captain
General Valmaseda. Numbers of the clergy
and laity came on board and sympathized with
him. Finding that he could not land except
as prisoner, he returned in the Missouri to this
city.
Bishop Martinez says he will not return to
Cuba by permission of the military who rule
that island; and that he learned that placards
were posted in Havana, wherein the volunteers
declared they would walk over his body before
they would allow him to enter the city. A
bubble was raised on account of his passport
not being countersigned in New York; but it
was too palpably preteXt to deserve any con-
sideratiOn.-N. 7. Tribune, today.
