Intelligence from Havana.

Havana, 81. A communication from the
authorities OF Cienfuegos, says that the father
OF DR.. Howard came here as a colinist with
his sons, and received lands from the gov
eminent as recompense. Subsequently he
was appointed commissary of police, and
thereby became a government official. DR..
Howard was always considered Spaniard,
but never held office, being physician. On
the 18th of January, 1870, he took out q po-
lice document, the same as Is issued to
Spaniards, and made no objection to 1t. 1t
is therefore considered doubtful whether
Howard is an American.
An engagement recently took place near
Manznolli, in which the Spanish Colonel
Obregan was killed.
Captain General Valmaseda has issued a
proclamation in which he says that the offer
OF pardon to insurgents cannot last forever.
He now gives notice that every insurgent
captured after the 18th of January will be
shot, and those surrendering after that date
will be sentenced to perpetual imprisonment.
Negro men will be treated the same as whites.
All negro women captured will be delivered
TO their owners, and will be compelled to
wear chains four years, and all white women
captured in the woods after the 10Th of Jan.
uary will be banished from the country. The
chiefs of insurgent bands will be allowed to
surrender until the 10Th of January rflder
conditions hitherto granted.
