Insults (9 the Widow of Pinlo—The Voluntecra—Transfer of Authority—Mr. Thrasher’s Circular and the Cuban Junia— > ovment of Natimal Ships. At the invitation of a Spanish friend, I dined, » few days ago, at the celebrated hotel and restaurant near the Teatre Tacon, known by the name of ita proprietor, “Le Grand.’ Sitting at an adjoining table was a party of young Spanish army officers. From their conversa- tion, which I could not avoid hearing, I learned that the Senora Pinto, widow of the late patriot of that name, whose present residence is situated near the Castle Prin- cipe, had complained to the Governor of that fortress that the soldirry stationed there were in the habit of of- foring marked insults to herself and her family; that the Governor of Castle Principe had preturned for answer, “that he bad nothing to do with the matter of which she complsined,”’ and bad added (insultingly of course) the question, “why did she remain the widow. of auch a fellow as Pinto!” The brutality of this question, to auch woman as the Senora Pinto, could alone be equaled by the laughing jest that was mado of it by the Spanish officers, who mentioned the mattsr so publicly at Le Grand’s. 1 have not written you any of the rude jests or vulgar witticiems that were afterwards bandied from * mouth to mouth among these Spanish officers—soldiers they surely are not—because they are totally unfit to be read or written by any one making the slightest preten- sions to gentiemanly feeling or decency. By an order published in a recent number of the (fa- cela, I obasrve that the volunteers, when arrested, are to be kept separate from the other prisoners, and that except im particular cases, they are not to be imprison- ed in the commen jail. In order to preserve the health of the volunteers, they are not to be drilled until the month of October ensuing, although to see that they Xeop their fize arms in perfect order there is to bea re- view in each of the months of August and September next. By the Guceta of yeaterday, we are informed that all ‘the faculties possersed by the Captain General are be- stowed upon the Governor of the Oriental Department of this island, so that it would appear that the cares of managing the affairs of the entire island preas too heavily apon the brow of General Concha, and that he has gladly placed a portion of them upon the shoulders of his “Royal brother,” General Menzand, I believe, Governor of the oriental department. ‘The Diario de la Marina, of the 26th inst., publishes what it callsa ‘Circular letter’ from the pen of Mr. Jobn S, Thrasher, of which, with the accompanying ob- servations (there not being anything of greater import- ance stirring here this msrning), I must anmex’s trans lation. The Diario de la Marina eaya:— The circular fetter which we give bslow to our readers is w very carious and entertainieg documsnt, #0 much go that we think it will have lost nove of its interest by cDeing published at so late a period after its date.

Nevertheless, like the dessert efter Cumnér, the precious document came to hand (for its absolute and complete authentici'y we are ready to vouch) and we cannot resist the desire of laying it be- fore eur readers. Here follows the letter, which I Meh New Orieans, May 4, 1955. Dear FRrixso—It is with heartfelt sorrow that I again write pees tter go longa silencs.
