Since the capture of Calixto Garcia no news OF
mich importance has been received from the IN
terror. Col Forum, with his troops, entered the
town of Sancti Spiritus on the 10th of September,
and were received with great rejoicing. All the vol
unteers and other troops stationed in that place
turned out to receive them and congratulate them
on the success of their recent exploits, as the Span
iards denominate the skirmishes and encounters
Col Forum had with handful of halfarmed lnsur-
gents who continually retired before HIM, ana
barassed his march as much as possible. His sue
cess consisted in killing one or two rebels and SELF
ing small quantities of provisions and arms. Inc
capture of Calixto Garcia has been considered
great blow to the Cubans, as it will be very difficult
for them to replace him. He was born In Holguin,
is about 35 years of age, and since the beginning Vi
the rebellion has taken an active and prominent
part and been one of the most useful and intrepid

Every one has been happily disappointed at the
policy pursued by Concha during this his third

would be a second Alva. On the contrary, he has
been very moderate, and has granted several par
dons to persons sentenced to death. Evidently ne
tried to conciliate and gain the good will of the
people. But he has not completely succeeded, ana
many are the rumors of efforts being made to eiect
his removal. There are loud complaints that he
sends all the money he raise to Spain instead OF
EMPLOYING it for the welfare of Cuba, The streets
and public roads are allowed to remain IN depora-

money for the necessary repairs The journals in
Havana almost daily complain of the want OF proper
sanitary regulations. but without avail.
