Your correspondent has been credtably Informed
that the superior government OF this island has
refused In all instances to consider the claims for
damages OF Cuban-American citizens brought be-
fore the American Claims Commission at Washing
ton; and further, that the claims OF Foster and

not to be considered, as the rngleader of the as
crime. The claims OF Messrs. Danrord Knowlton,
Hoses Taylor, Henry Story and Others will, how:

booty they had taken ut Caimbo, also the horses
or their leaders, several firearms and everything
that could hinder them in their flight. The Span.

Of the epizoOtic disease now raging among horses
in the United States, has ordered that all horses
hereafter imported into this island from the United
States shall be put into strict observation, at least
while the disease continues to exist in that coun-

The operate company engaged at Tacon continue
their representations but without exciting any
great enthusiasm thus far among the Havanese

are rated quite ordinary, with very few exceptions,
such as the tenor Paermi and the basso Rossigat
