The Cuban Rebellion.
NEW YORK, Aug 27.-The following trust
worthy account'of the Cuban exploit at Sancti
Espiritus has been received by mail from Cuba !:
The jurisdiction of Sancti Espiritus is be.
coming an important field of military opera
tons. On the 18th inst. severe engagement
took place between 200 Spanish troops and part
of Jmineze's forces. The former were COM
pletely routed, with loss of eighty men, in
Guiding all the officers. On the night of the
18th Jimineze entered and took possession of
Sancti Espiritus, the Cubans announcing them
selves by volleys of musketry and flourish of
trumpets. The volunteers of the place, nearly
500 strong, did not show themselves. On
entering, The Cubans seized and disarmed the
different guards, composed Of volunteers and
colored firemen. Not shot was fired, nor did
the Cubans commit any act of violence, re-
specting persons and property, but cheered
heartily. The object of the entry was the
seizure of some 300 Remington rifles and
ammunition. They nearly captured Brigadier
Acosta but he escaped by hiding on the roof of
his house. The Cubans marched away un-
molested, expressing their intention of shortly
again paying their respects to the city.
The Cinco villas are menaced by an invasion
of all the Cuban forces from the east, and it
doubtless will have the effect of increasing the
ranks of the insurgents. The latter have all
withdrawn from the eastern department and
manifest signs of concentration preparatory to
a march westward. Trinidad and other cities
are receiving considerable reinforcements.

A short time since Mr.. A. H. Libby, the

ton Of cruelty to animals, wrote to Mr.. Henry
Bergh. the eminent philanthropist, inviting

mainly to dumb animals. Yesterday Mr.. Lib
by received in reply the following letter which
is eminently worthy of perusal:
Yours is received inviting me to visit Port
land during the ensuing month, and deliver a
lecture, on the subject OF humanity to dumb
animals. 1 would gladly do so were it not at
tended with too much physical danger to me.
For more than two months, have been ser-
ously ill, and relapse, which is imminent from
exposure, might be fatal. With, therefore, all
the inclination to personally behold and confer
with the friends of our cause in your town, L
must yield to circumstances and regretfully de-
cline. Permit me in this connection, to say
that neither exact nor even accept any COM
pensation for the performance of the conscien-
tous duty to which devote my days. The
success OF the cause, is ample reward for me.
think there is no quality which so distln-
guishes state for its civilization, as humanity,
be 1t towards the human race, or the inferior
animals hold that no one can be good and
reliable citizen, who is wanting in sympathy
for the suffering and defenceless. Every act of
cruelty to a dumb dependent creature, is sure
TO react upon our own race. 1t is therefore
wise policy on the part of the state to prevent
the abuse of those humble beings from selfish
and personal motives alone, if not from sense
of justice and compassion to those indspensa-
Bile animals which provide US more than half
the benefits we possess in life, and without
which the world would become desert.
The state of Maine has acted with intelligent
on this question of the prevention of
cruelty, under the initiative of several noble
hearted men and women, and has raised legal
barrier around defenseless brutes; and now if
cruelty disposed person ventures to give loose to
his passions by abusing them, he is made to an
swer to the law. This is an immense step
towards pefect civilization. 1 wish it were in
my power to give utterance to all 1 feel on this
subject, by appearing in person among your Cit
zens, but am adDonished to economize in
my vital resources. With profound respect to
Ill, am your oht. servant
