SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE HERALD.

There is now every indication that the end
of the instruction is close at hand, and that
the strife, so long continued, In which so
many lives have been lost and 80 much
treasure expended, will soon give way to q
condition of peace; that Spain will again
have control over the "ever faithful island"
through all its length and breadth. This
information Is based on the fact that the sur
render Of General Porro, of which event I
Informed you few days since, has led to the
results foreshadowed In my despatch, which
are that the surrender Of many leading insur-
gents continues, and that the work Of paciA-
cation progresses rapidly.
The most important event since the surren-
der Of Porro occurred yesterday, when Cap
tain General Valmaseda received a letter from
Edwardo Machado, Secretary of the Cuban
House Of Representatives, through his father,
in which the clemency of the government Is
asked Machado, after making the request,
gives the following important information re-
speeding the condition Of the Cuban Congress.
He says that the House of Representatives
has dissolved, and that the members thereof
are looking after their personal safety, each Of
the members seeking safety for numbe one.
The condition and whereabouts of several
important members Of the so-called Cuban gov
eminent are given in the same document.
Don Miguel G. Gutierrez, Vice President of
the Cuban republic, and his son, are wandering
about in the woods in the neighborhood of
Guaymaro; Tranquelino valdes, member of
the House of Representatives from Cinco
Villas, who is also seeking safety in fight, is in
a most pitiable and forlorn condition, his body
being covered with fostering ulcers his exact
whereabouts is not known, but he will pro-
badly soon give himself up, with the hope Of
receiving pardon. Many others will soon
come in, when they are assured that the
humane policy of Valmaseda Is not a myth,
but reality that they may depend upon the
same mercy and kind treatment that was
extended to Porro and those who surrendered
with him.
Active movements are being carried on
against those still in arms, and the Spanish
troops are meeting with great success, the
weather being favorable for their operations.
The greatest confidence Is now felt and ex-
pressed in the early collapse of all that remains
of the rebellion. The authorities are san
guine, and not without good reason, that a
short time more will witness the entire and
complete restoration of the supremacy of the
government.
