CUBAN AFFAIRS.
1t Looks as if the Great Instruction
of 1869 will be Re-enacted.
Aguero, Joined by a Large Force, is Said to
be Getting Into the Mountains.

MADRID, April 12.-Oficial adyices from
Cuba, by the war department, are to the fol-
lowing effect: The Aguero band remained
only one day near Cardenas, and all is now
quiet at that place. After landing the in
surgents were followed to the east, in the
direction of Movena, where they were joined
by several persons. Thence, they went to-
wards Macagua, to the south, in order to
reach Puerto Principe, an old revolutionary
district of Bazamo. AgueIo did
not dare to attempt direct landing
there, because he knew the southeast coast
of Cuba was watched with especial vigilance.
His bank greatly increased during the march
of eight days, and is now not far from 1,4OO
strong. According to the latest advices, the
force arrived on the 10th instant in the neigh
borhood of Ciego de Anila. They passed, on
the preceding day, through the district of
Sante Espriter. iThe insurgents were received
by acclamation in the villages were the Pat
ricinados, freed slaves, themselves had join
ed the column. After firing four plantations
and sacking the safes of receiver of taxes
The receiver of Trinidad, who was making
piriter, accompanied by an ordinary escort Of
twenty cazadores, fell into the hands of the
insurgents, who took from him
several thousand dollars. Aguero and his
army viii reach, early in the week the noun
tains of Las Tunas and of Bayamo, the old
seat of the late instruction. Captain Gen
eral CASTILLO holds two councils of war day.
The Liberal journals of the Dynastic left, at
tack the Conservative ministry more openly
than CratelGr, Zorillist and other Republican
sheets, ,.hich are afraid of being suspended
or suppressed altogether. The organs of
Sagasta Serano and even Posada Herrera
himself insintate that Cameras del Castillo
seems to bring i'll luck to the Spanish inter-
est in Cuba, These organs state that he was
the indirect cause of the great instruction
in 1867, for it was he that,
as minister, Ultramar, submitted on the
18th of November 1865, to Queen Isabella,
a report, the object of which was
to assemble commission to make an inves-
tigation upon the condition of Cuba and
Porto Rico. The investigation was made, but
under the pressure Canovas del Castillo, who
declared in his report that two American COL
onies ought not to enjoy the liberal code of
1872 which was applied in the peninsula
He also claimed that the maintenance of an
autocratic administration was necessary for
Cuba and Porto Rico. 1t was then, say these
journals, the long instruction broke out,
and they now fear the same condition of af-
fairs will come about since Angerero's return
Cuba has followed so close upon the return
% power of Canovas del Castillo, the old
enemy of Spain.
