New York, July 3l.-Reliable reports
from Havana states that a negro riot
broke out there on the 22d inst, in the
locality known as Los Sitios. The
principal cause of the dissatisfaction
among the blacks seems to have been
their continuance in slavery after the
liberation of all those who lately surren-
dered at the collapse Of the rebellion.
During the disturbance the soldiers had
to charge, sword in hand, killing and
wounding great many. The rioters
then dispersed and fled to the swamps
around Atares castle.
