AQUERO'S CAMPAIGN.


New YORK. April q.
Havana advices of April II say the follow
ing is a reliable account of Aquero's move
trated into the rich jurisdictions of Colon and
Cienfuegos. Shortly after landing he took
to dense forests, but prior to doing 30, he
obliged the authorities of q neiRhboring set
tlemept to furnish him with . substantial
breakfast. Until the 9th nothing was heard
of him. On that day he appeared on the
plantation Meriedes DE Sunco, quite near the
village of Simonar, where there is a post of
civil guards and volunteers.
On the plantation, he found three negroes
in the stocks. These and others he liberated
and placed in the stocks the overseer of the
slaves. He then proceeded to plantation
Olimpo. whence messenger was dispatched
to Cardenas, who returned with provisions.
The march was resumed and continued to
plantation Suris, where the party siezed a
large number Of horses, and impressed the
overseer as a guide. On the 9Th the whole
party we're at Manquito, where they burned
two houses, the headquarters of the civil
guard. and the station and warehouse of the
railroad at that point.
Several papers severely critticise the ina
bility of the authorities TO promptly annihil-
Bile. The leading journal of the city says:
The numerous forces of government have
commenced very unluckily their second cam
paign against this celebrated bandit for so
far from meeting him, face to face. he and
his party crossed in front Of their noses, and
escaped sound and safe from the Deighbor-
hood of Cardenas to that of the swamps of
Sespsta- where he now is. II is therefore
not sufficient that Gen. Costello should send
powerful bodies of troops to pursue the in
surgents- 1t is necessary that such troops
should be commanded by officers who know
what they are about. La Union Constitu-
tional. of Colon. says: Already this sadly
celebrated bandit and his men have taken
possession of his old field of operations,
where, familiar with the territory and inhab-
itsnts, they will hold in check large bodies of
troops, and where their capture will be very
difficult

Three hundred Egyptian troops and 600
nom combatants, preferring to make haz-
ardous attempt to march to Berber to starv-
ing outside Shendy, set out from the latter
place on the 18th inst. Part of the number
went slowly by steamer down the river, while

two hours from Shendy they were attacked
by Arabs, and after a short fight all the
troops except few we're massacred. The
Arabs sfterward captured Shendy. The
