Campos Gives 1t Up.

A Havana dispatch says: Campos
has resigned the Captain Generalship of
Cuba. 1t is generally believed that he
strongly urges the home Government TO
grant the Island of Cuba government.
AS an outcome of his recent kilograms to
Madrid the Ministers of War, State, For
eign Colonies, etc, have been holding
long conferences, and although they could
not make public the subject of their dclib
erations they have admitted that they will
have some astounding revelations to make
soon. Gen. Campos, while besieged in
Bayamo, had such fears for his life that
in order to disguise himself he had his
long goatee shaved clean. hence his OBJ
lection to showing himself in public.
Mayari is said to have fallen into the
hands of insurgents, and the Provision
al Government of the Cuban republic is
reported to have been established there.
Santo Espiritu and Trinidad, in Las Vii
las. are said to be in possession of the
rebel forces. All kilograms from Madrid
clearly show that not only the Govern
ment over there. but also the people, are
greatly alarmed by the developments in
Cuba. aud that Gen. CampOs' report 20
the Cortcs must be unsatisfactory.

Midnight Disaster.

The disaster occurred shortly after mid
night in latitude $50 south, longitude
2S:20 west. The Prince Oscar, which was
bound from Shields, which port she left
May p for Iquique, laden with coal, was
going at a clipping gait on the port tack
before 4 brisk wind and with all canvas
set. 1t is estimated by the crew that she
was making about six and half knots
an hour when suddenly there doomed up
directly under her bows 4 four-masted
vessel. The mate asserts that the
stranger had no lights burning, and after
she was sighted it was impossible to alter
the course of the Prince Oscar.
The iron hull of the latter struck the
unknown full amidships. knocking her
almost on her beam end and crashing
through the woodwork until her Prov
was more than half buried. The stranger
went over almost on her beam ends as
the Prince Oscar backed away from the
rebound. AS the crew of the Prince
Oscar stood peering through the darkness
they saw the stranger partly right herself
and then she rapidly began TO sink. They
listened in vain for some signs of life,
but not cry for help nor a word of COM
mand came from the stricken vessel.
