LAGING ESTATES.

NEwYoRK, Nov. 16.--A Havana letter of the
Sth inst. says: A strong party of insurgents
drove off about 300 head Of cattle from Hol-
gum on the 4th and Spanish troops were sent
after them unsuccessfully. In explanation of
the above Spanish account the patriot state
ment is that Gen. Valena attacked the patriots
at Barrancas, but was defeated with loss of
250 killed and wounded, and retreated Hol-
gum, where he was shut up by the patriot
forces. The Spanish General Alanco with
1880 men, went to the relief of Valena when
the patriots raised the investment of the place,
sacked several stores in the outskirts and cap
tured large quantities of booty. A portion of
the Cubans about 5000 men under Benitez
crossed into the Eastern Province and captur-
ed the town of Jacaro, which they pillaged.
They established muster camp near Los
Guasimas, where recruits can enroll, and then
headed for Puerto Principe, where cattle and
recruits are being obtained. A vigorous cam
paign is planned to extend to San Miguel,
Baia and Neuvitas, where sugar estates and
telegraph lines will be destroyed. The pa
triots have sent emmisaries to enlist white ma
tives into the revolutionary army and to entice
slave gangs from Remedies, Trinidad and
Cienfuegos to strike work and repair to the
mountains to enlist with the patriots. In Trni-
dat valley it is stated thousand yeomen are
