A letter from Havana, April 6, says:-"The
complete restoration OF peace has not been pro
claimed officially as yet, and it seems that there
is ull at present 10 transactions between the
formerly beliigerent paltes. but this quiet state
of affairs is solely due to the circumstance that
the bulk Of the Insurgents having surrendered,
the small maraudlng parties which daily sur.
render still do not attract the attention of the
people, aud although the Government might
rghttuly declare the insurrection as finally
conquered, it does Dot wish to do so until the
last of the chiefs has laid down bis arms. There
are only two now left 10 the mountains OF the
extreme east OF the island; their names are
Macco and Vicente Garcia. 1t is said the only
reason why they have not surrendered yet is
that they ask for commissions 10 the Spanish
| army with their present grades. Nothing OF
| this kind has been stipulated 10 the peace con.
ditions, Dor has any other chief claimed this,
and the Spanish Government will not grant it.
| Although peace may thus be considered not
| entirely re- established 10 a political point OF
| view, security and good order have been re-
| stored. Travel throughout the island has
been resumed. Families which left the ioterl
or and sought refuge in the cities are returning
to their former homes. All the steamers leav-
| ing Havana for other parts of the coast are
over crowded with persons returoiog to their
old abodcs and occupations, while the insur.
gents, who have been for years in the woods
are coming to Havana and filing the hotels. y
