From Cuba.

New York, Feb. 5--A private letter from
Havana says the affair at Trinidad is regarded
as au exceptional case aud not at all Indicative
of a general uprising of negroes and burning of
plantations, The opinion prevails that the in-
surgents will soon be able to cross the old
Trocha in comparative force Heretofore they
have been able occasionally to cross in small
parties. Should they succeed in crossing in
large numbers the burning of plantations is in
evtable. y secret organization is thought to
exist with qualifications extending to all parts
Of the island the object Of which is to give
moral and material support to the insurgents,
who, if successful in their operations in the
Central and Eastern departments will endeavor
to pass into the villas district. 1t is conceded
that the Spauiards are just now in tight place
and need men aud money to carry on the war.
The want of both is apparent and is telling
severely against the Spauiards

"The Reason Why

NEW YORK, Feb. Sit now transpiras that
the dissolution Of the heavy cotton firm Of

good their losses out of the firm S funds I'm
made clean breast at the commencement Of
the year, when dissolution followed by mutual
consent. H. w. Tabor, the wealthy cotton
broker, who was a special partner for $780,
OO0 and brother.in-law of one of the default
ing clerks, has been appointed receiver by or
der of the Supreme Court and will settle the

M me Holschout, an actress, could not
live happily with NJ. Holschout and ran
away from him. She found she could
live with M. Malepyre, whom she acct
dentally met at Rambouillet. She lived
with him accordingly till he died, and he
left her 100000 francs. His heirs sued,
but Nine Holschout gained the suit and
got the money. But the noise made by
this process awakened up M. Holschout,
the husband, who was all the time igno-
rant of his wife's whereabouts. He went
to Rambouillet in the next train. By
the French law a husbands consent is
necessary before wife can accept an
inheritance, and this beast refuses to
consent.
