THE CUBAN BATTLE.

Cuban residents of New York who spoken to
yesterday about the news from Havana that tho pa
trots had sustained defeat in the district Of Santa
Clara said the Colonel Castillo reported captured
by the spaniard, is not the we'll known Csrlos del
Castillo who was the companion Of Carlos Manuel
de Cespedes. Bonachea is a leader of considerable
repu.e. He acquired good reputation in Camaguey
and the villas district in past times. Should his
capture be confirmed he will be greatly missed by
the patriots. With regard to the reported capture
of horses and arms the gentlemen spoken with
yesterday believe 1t possible that worn out horse
or two may have fallen into the hands of the Span
iards but they think the Cubans in the field have,
too keen appreciation of the value OF arms to let
them fall easily into tue enemys hands.
1t is thought to be extremely improbable that
twenty-th three Cubans could have been killed, large
number wounded and taken prisoners, while the
Spaniards escaped with few wounded. This is
looked upon renewal of the old tricks
of the Spanards, who in former times
were in the habit of gaining frequent VIC
tories OF considerable moment with small loss.
The liberation of twenty nine negroes by the
royast troops is viewed in the light of an absurd
ity; for it is claimed TO be well established fact
that so far from the Cubans keeping any negroes in
prison the latter seek refuge in the insurgent camps
and serve against their masters when they got

gale was encountered, with heavy sea, and
the vessel sprung leak, the water in the

necessary to abandon the bark, which had become

[BY CABLE TO THE HERALD
LONDON, Nov. 80, 1879.
The gathering in Hyde Park to-day, in re-
sponse to the call tor an organized demonstra-
ton in favor of the Irish agtators, consisted of
an immense mob. A fair sprinkling Of green
favors were observable, but by far the greater
number of the persons present seemed to be at
tracted more by curiosity than by sympathy. A
goodIy number Of bands OF music enlivened
the march from Trafalgar square and many
banners were displayed, but not all Of these
belonged to the home rule associations.
The procession was swollen by the Tichborne
Release Association, the Democratic Working
mems Club and similar bodies not in any manner
connected with Ireland the Irish agitation.
The orators of these outside associations ad-
dressed separate groups while the main meet
ing was in progress in the Park. One Of the
principal speakers of the Irish sympathy meet
ing proper was Mr.. William Archer Redmond,
home rule member of Parliament for Wexford.
The speakers here were surrounded by q dense
throng, which cheered so enthusiastically as to
renuef tne speeches. utterly lnauulDle except
perhaps to those on the stand. The resolutions
protesting against the recent arrests of Irish
agitators and favoring peasant proprietary in
Ireland were doubtless carried by acclamation
fight or the seizure of u tall hat from re-
specially dressed person and its conversion into
football by the crowd never failed to draw
the attention of their auditors away from
the speakers. The less noted speakers, partic-
ularly those at the side meetings, used the most
seditous language, and their utterances seemed
to create much amusement. The authorities
had apparently taken no precautions whatever
for the maintenance of order. Only about
three policemen were in the vicinity Of the
meeting. When darkness came on the throng
dispersed, and the delegations marched back
to their respective headquarters with their
bands playing various Irish airs Mr. Michael
Davitt on Sunday addressed a crowded meet
ing of Irshmen at neutrality-suspicious.. He
spoke very temperately.
Mr. Charles S. ParneH is expected to sail for
America within the next fortnight. He will
be accompanied by Mr.. Finigan, member of

from Sligo, Roscommon and Mayo surrounded

SEVERE STORM ON THE BRITISH COASTS
HEAVY SHOWS IMPEDING TRAFFIo ON RAIL-
RoADs-succEssFUL PREDICTION.
[BY CABLE TO THE HERALD
LONDON, Nov. 80 1879.
The cable warning received from the HERALD
Weather Bureau on the 25th, which was as fol-
lows-'A disturbance will arrive on the British
and Norwegian COASTS between the 2Sth and
3Oth, attended by south vecrng to northwest
strong winds, snow in northern and possibly
rains over the British Islands"-is now
being fulfilled to the letter. Tho wind
is blowing gale on the western
coasts and showers of hail stones
are falling at nearly all the stations. Snow has
been falling almost increasingly ut Aberdeen
since Yesterday and it now lies at depth of
about nine inches in the streets. The various
trains that were due last night arrived safely,
but late, in consequence of the stormy, high
wind that prevailed, causing much drifting of
the snow on the tracks. To judge by the ap-
pearance of the sky tonight no improvement
is promised. 1t is feared that the railway
will be interrupted tonight, as keen frost has
set in and heavy showers of snow are falling.
If the storm predicted to arrive here between
the 3Oth and I'd comes on time we are likely
to have very disagreeable weather for some
days yet.
