COMMUNICATION WITH MADRID AND THE QUESTION
OF EMANCIPATION.
As usual upon change Of Ministry In Spain, on
cial kilograms are exchanged between the govern.
ment and the authorities here. The last Ministry
has made slight alteration in the phraseology Of
the stereotyped form, and reads as follows:-
The inhabitants of Cuba and Porto Rico, with
out distinction OF birth and color, are greeted by
the new government Of the Republic, which will
fesoutey maintain the integrity OF its terri n
slst from war without glory or object and the ter
mination OF which will facilitate the emancipation OF
Peninsula. For this elevated undertaking the gov
ernment counts npon the aid OF the army navy,
volunteers and all wel-wishers OF the Spanish An
TILES.
The Captain General, in reply to the Colonial
Minister gets over the delicate question Of eman-
cipati0n as f0llows:-
congratulate the new Ministry and Your Excel
lency upon your elevation to Colonial Minister.

ments which animate this army, navy and the
volunteers and all well-wishers OF the prosperity

conservative Oliearchy desire to avoid II the ter
mination Of the nsurrecton is to be the signal for

devoted to retard the conclusion OF the struggle.
BULLETINS FROM THE FIELDS OF BATTLE.
The following extract from a letter written by an
officer of the San Quntin battalion, from Santiago
de Cuba, and for the authenticity of which your
correspondent vouches, goes far to cOrroborate the
news recently furnished to the HERALD concerning
late operations in the regions OF Manzanilo:-
They shipped at ManzanillO for this city eighty
three sick and company OF my own battalion.
ZarZal from whose officers I get these reports.
There were eightysix OF our troops killed, and OF
the number OF wounded at ManzanillO great
many are dangerously so. One company OF the
Marina battalion had thirteen wounded; two OF
Manzanlio have committed the treason OF passing
over to the enemy, bag and baggage with whom
they are now.
Private and trustworthy information states that
between the Sth and 18th OF June there arrived
in Manzanillo over three hundred sick and
wounded soldiers, and the City Hall had to be
taken as a hospital.
The manifest which the republican spaniards of
Cuba have addressed to the insurgents has the
following paragraph
general sent by the Spanish Republic. from
which he has received the special charge OF restor
ing tranquility TO TINS province ana the rcpubi-
can party which opens wide to you its raternal
arms. call upon you to lay down your arms and
come united all to enjoy the benefits or peace
under the shade Of the tree OF liberty.
Probably on account Of the absence OF ''shade"
and the presence OF 'yellow" fever. the rebels
have not yet come Likely, however, they are
thinking on the subject, as the correspondence
this week published the canard that Cespedes
had agreed 10 surrender with all his followers II
Spain would guarantee Cuba as federal State, &C.
The paper did not state what kind of collateral Sc
curity Cespedes demands; but some of the wise
people in the streets Of Havana add that Uncle
Sam is to be the security. Havana OF late has been
flooded with the widest aud most extravagant
rumors, but the truth is that it is very very shots
indeed, and that gold is up to ~ premium.
