Correspondence OF The sun.
HAVANA, Aug. 2L-Thc revolution IL pro-
crossing with gigantic strides. II one is to Judge
OF what Il occurring on the island from the
pcrusal Of the newspapers alone, Cubas cause
might well be given up in despair. In none of
the newspapers of this city Ia there an account
of any encounter between the Spanish troops
and the patriots In either the Central or Eastern
Department. But there has been such an en-
counter, and the Speniards have been terribly
whipped. am unable 80 give you the details,
but what say Is authentlj-I have 1t from tho
palace Of the Captaln-Gonc
Gen. Acosta Alvcar the scoundrel who saw
the ladies OF the Mola family murdered at
Lakaro, has been defeated by the patriots under
Agramonte, near Nuevitas, In Camaguey. Tho
Spanish loss am unable to ascertain, but my
lntorinnnt assures me that u was one OF the
most disastrous defeats which the Spuniards
have experienced.
THE DEFEAT OF oEv. zEA.
In Camaguey the Spanish Gen Zea has been
badly whipped by the Cubans near Puerto Prin-
cpe. or neither OF these Cuban Victories
which, In the present condition OF affairs, arc
most important as showing the strength Of the
revolution In CaEagucy, can the slightest notice
be found In any OF the newspapers Of this city.
Tho trial 4 the Spanish Cen Gonzalez Boet,
which tO0S place in this city over year ago, may
be remembered. He was accused OF most cold
blooded murders Of Cubans, and tho killing of
some pyr enc Oyrdger tes dtdrcs. lie blackmalled
all he spared lie was tried by court martial in
the Ca6aha fortress, aud was fodnd guilty on
every charge. Before the sentence of the Court
was pronounced, his counsel said that II his
client should be condemned, IL would he his
tho counsel's) painful duty TO prove to the
world that his client. Boet, had only been AN In
suiment, aud that all the crimes Of which he
was accused had been committed In obedience
to the orders Of his superior oflicer.
THE ASSASSIN vAIMAsEDA.
This sur erior officer was none other than that
arch scoundrcl and assassin, Count Nalmascda,
and the Court probably out Of regard for their
own necks, acquitted the prisoner. Not only
was this convicted murderer Boot acquitted but
he WIS rcst ored TO command by Nalmaseda and
assigned TO the District Of Moron, where he has
inaugurat"d another reign u terror. This reign
is apparently at an end. Gen. Gonzalez Boet
ha4 been by royal decree degraded from his rank
and dismissed from the army, and con lcmned
10 TX ycars' prcsRiO-AnRicc imprisunment
with hard labor \ similar sentence of penal
scryitudc has also been pronounced on the
Judge who presided over the cOurt-mutil
which acquitted Boet.
