Herald Special Report from
Havana.
The Insurgents Attacked and Defeated
in Their Stronghold.
Fifty Killed and Many Prison
erS Taken.
ANOTHER IMPORTANT SUaREHDEK.
TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD.

The HERALD's special correspondent as
Havana sends the following important infor-
nation respecting the progress of the war
against the rebels in Cuba, and the surrender
of another insurgent Of Importance -
HAVANA, Feb. s, 1871.
The continued successful operations OF tho
Spanish forces in the field against the rebels
still in arms is hurrying matters to crisis,
and gives further evidence that the final SUR
render cannot long be delayed. We have
just learned that the insurgents have been
attacked in their stronghold at Najasa and
entirely defeated. Their loss was fifty killed,
many wounded, and large number of prisoners
were taken, together with many oftheir families.
The affair was very decisive, aud the result,
though not unexpected, will be crushing to
those who still hope against hope, and who
appear determined to seek death by the bullet,
the bayonet or the garrote instead of giving
themselves up and receiving the pardon
granted to others who, seeing the utter hope
lessness of their cause, have voluntarily SUR
rendered.
We also learn of the coming in of another
insnrgent Of Importance, whose surrender will
doubtless have an important influence with
others and induce them to do likewise. Jesus
del Sol, chief of the Cinco Villas, has given
himself up to the Spanish authorities, and will
have the same treatment as that extended

The Darien Expedition--Reported Discov
cry of n Canal Route.

The reported discovery by Commander
Seliridge of a practicable interoceanic
canal route from the mouths of the Atrato
across the isthmus, the highest points of the
line being only three hundred feet above the
ocean, will rekindle the ardent hopes which,
according to Admiral Davis, this part of the
Cordilleras has inspired in the minds Of nume-
rous writer's and explorers, from Humboldt to
Kelley and Michler.
But it must be remembered that Humboldt
who originally pointed out the Atrato route
as likely to afford the best solution Of the
interoceanic canal problem, did not speak of
its alleged advantages from his own know
ledge, but merely from the favorable
statements of his native correspondents
Nor can it be forgotten that almost all
actual explorers of that region agree in
their descriptions of ''the same promising but
deceptive appearance of the mountain range
when viewed from the ocean" 1t is, in fact,
this promising but deceptive appearance"
which largely accounts for the preference
shown to this section of the isshmus by those
interested in explorations of route for a
ship canal. If, however, the rumor that Com
mander Selfridge has really discovered . line,
the summit of which does not exceed three
hundred feet, he has been more fortunate than
any previous explorer, and the scientific and
commercial Importance of his discovery cannot
easily be overestimated.
Nevertheless, it will still b, requisite to
refute satisfactorily the objection most strongly
urged by Mr.. Osborne against the Atrato
route-namely, it's great length, which, in his
opinion, would of necessity compel the use OF
tugs for sixty five miles against stream. and
which Induced him to add that he thought it
would be cheaper to transship goods for Cali
fornia and India over the Panama Railway,
ii good harbors were constructed at both ends.
In view of the great length Of the Atrato
route, and the vast expense Of labor, time and
money required in order to excavate bars,
dredge streams, tunnel solid, primitive rock
and create or improve harbors-in fine, to com
plete the construction of the canal-it Is not to
be wondered at that many intelligent persons
adhere to their preference for the Nicaragua
route, particularly recommended, as this hat
been, by the ex-Emperor of the French and
by other eminent authorities. Nature itsel
has seemingly made advances in favor nf th'

latter route by Offering the water communica-
tions of San Juan and the lakes, which reduce
the isthmus to one-tenth of its whole breadth.
Without indulging the extravagant expccta-
tions which the Nicaragua route has encour-
aged, it may not be unreasonable to believe
that renewed and thorough explorations will
yet revive the special favor for long time
enjoyed by the project of transit from ocean
to ocean on line following the river San Juan
del Norte, either in its bed OF on its banks,
crossing Lake Nicaragua and thence to the
Pacific.
