To a correct app: ation of this act it should be known that b prisoners are arrested on the street or in their 3, are hurried off to some fortress without a moment's nolice, are secretly tried—if the word can be so desecrated—by a& military tribunal, whose members are bitterly prejudiced against them, with- out counsel or consultation with friends, are, of course convict and without opportunity of ar- yanging their bus! 8 or fam} matters, are secretly, as may be, sent off to 9 penal colony, where the arehdeacon himself would have too much mercy to send a dog, m for si time previons rnmored that al was to be made of prisoners, but their 3, up to the appearance of the oficial adver- t for transportation, nad hoped against With Uus, however, came despair, and as ttsemen many families as there are prisoners were plunged im the deepest gioom. Mothers, wives and daughters visited the palace, where, with a refinement of erueity to which the Spanish character is alone equal, they are assured of the speedy release of their friends, while at the same thne preparations are being made to send them away forever. A Spanish volunteer officer, apropos of this subject, recently romar! ‘We are in favor of shooting these prison- ers 28 an act of merey,’’ and, indeed, it 1s so in com- r ith the horrible death which awaits them. A gentleman who was fecently brought here from Remedios and imprisoned by mistake was soon after ed. He reports that the number of prisoners ts very large, including not a few Spaniards and four priests. He states tifat the manifestations on account of their imprisonment are extremely various, A few erful and apparently hopeful; many are de- tive, filled with grief and shedding tears copiously; while others are fierce and intractable, losing no opportunity to heap abuse on the volun- wars who guard tiem and upon everything Spanish, toward which their hatred is beyond comparison. Said a Cuban now in the United States, the father of a boy just beginning to talk, “I shudder to hear him speak Spanish; i wish to take him where he will for- get it and speak only the language of freedom.” Occasionally a friend is allowed to Visit a prisoner, but the voluuteers who rule in the Cabafa fortress do not like this, and prevent any extended conversation. On Sunday morning last a gentleman, armed with a pass from competent aiihor led to see a prisoner. He conversed with Lim for @ while, when the sentinel ordered him away. Hard words ensued and be was Knock? down with the heel of a bayonet, and would have been killed had not an officer interfered. The same evening the sentinel saw a prisoner levelling a pistoi athin. He raised his gunand sired, wounding the man io the arm. The sequel is not given. EI ‘thing sent in to the prisoners ie carefally ex- amined, Tue volunteers report that letters and re- volvers have been found tuside of loaves of bread and roast turkeys ail neatly trussed. They also State that many of the prisoners have weapons, thongh how obtained is a myste: Every person going in or out is stripped to the skin and gearched. Among those stil! contined 1s Don Miguel Embtl, a Wealthy Mexican citizen resident here, and well Kuown in the United States. As has been before stated, he isa friend of Mr. Seward, having enter- tained him at his house. Hts only offence, if any, is sympathizing with tne Cubans in the present strug- gic. Creat efforts have been made to procure Kis reli Generali Dulce receiving the as- surance that he should be taken mnmediately on board @ vessel and sent out of the country, He states, in answer, that he dare not re- Jease Lim at present, as he would be killed by the voluntecrs. His beautiful and accomplished wife is uuliring in her efforts to procure his release, and bas received many promises of the same. She has Ina | preparaitons to leave the country immedi- ately thereafier. There {s, however, too much rea- son to fear'thathe will be among those sent to Alvica, as the feeling against him is intense, and no fear is had of Mexico, qu this connection I may mention that an Amert- can, who had for some time been under suspicion of the authorities, recently applied for his passport. It Was given him, and the Governor, in the course of a few remarks, intimated that he had better leave the country at once, as he was likety to be arrested if he remained. Responding something to the effect that he Was an American citizen aud should look to his country for protection, the oficial informed btm that his government wouid let him rot veiore it made any efiort in hits oehalf, or if it ever did it would be after be was on his way to Fernando Po. Struck with the truth of these remarks the citizen of the “Great Re- public” made his preparations to‘leave at once, and ‘with much quietude is awalting the departure of a Seamer for aay where, Mr. J.

Its meagre and generally indefinite char- acter is regarded by the Cubané aa favorable to their cause, Dates from Cienfuegos are to the 4th. No further Operationg or encounters are mentioned. ‘There had been recetved in the steamers General Dulce and-Villa Clara, 200 cavairy sabres, 200 revolvers, two Armstrong gans, two pieces mountain artillery, 100 muskets and plenty of aiamunttion, The new volunteers are represented as being very enthusias- fic. Two handred cans gunpowder had been discoy- ered in the house of Widow Conception Terry. A letter from a prominent merchant of Cienfuegos, dated February 27, has the foliowing:—“General Dulce really is not believed to be up to the position. Affairs have been driven so far by the-insurgents that the principal actors in Havana have all fled, and in good time, sueh as——. It was he who obliged the insurgents here to rise, The chiefs had aimost abandoned the idea, but when he passed through here from Santiago he kindled the fire. They have done immense mischief all over the country, stealing horses, seizing all the arms they could obtain, pillag- ing the stores of provisions and of course appro- priating all the money they can lay hands on. But their time is nearly up, owimg to the arrival here of Generals Letona, Pelaez and other officers, with about 2000 new troops, They have cannon and everything well pre pared. One thousand were sent up to Sancti Spiritus. We had here previously 1,500. In Villa Clara there are 500, and the same number in Trini- aad. The total is between 4,000 and 5,000 men, and with a good plan of action they will soon clear the country of the insurgents or drive them to the hills toperish of hunger and fatigue. More than one- half have gone to their homes or have presented themselves. Many have been killed. All will soon be settled, and we hope to be able to make the crop, ‘There will be ne more cutting of railroads or closing up the river to prevent produce coming down as has been the case lately. The most prominent merchants here will not yet, on any consideration, sell a hogs- head of sugar or a cask of molasses on contract, and much less do they think of fixing a price, What they are receiving so far comes in small lots, which they ship on planters’ account, hence nothing can bedone. I think that prices have ran up too high in Havana. Freights dre also too high, sixty-five cents being asked to-day. And then there are the export duties. No merchant can live all this out.

He accords no sympathy to the morbid sensibility of Mr. Bergh as shown last summer to our canine | population, and attributes to ‘the influence of the latter the fact of the city being overran with dogs, After describing his chase of a mad dog and rescue of groups of childven from being bitten, he closes with the observation, ‘In humanity’s name let some- thing be dore.”” New York Jewellers? Co-operative Union. “A Brevet Lieutenant Colonel of the Army” en- closes some tickets and other papers purporting to emanate from a so-called “New York Jewellers’ Co- operative Union,” announcing distributions of prizes to buyers of tickets, and, satisfied that 1619 a swin- dle, asks its exposition in the HERALD, The ‘Brovet Lieutenant Colonel’ is right. It is a swindle, and some time ago was fuily exposed in our columns and the public warned to be on their guard against it, An Old Dodge. $ A pretended ‘gas meter inspector” is on his travels in the upper part of the city, A victim writes of how he was swindled and desires the pub- Ueto be cautioned. This pretended inspection of meters is an old dodge. Our advice of caution when any one shows himself and desires to look at the gas meter to make him show his ordef trom the gas compen: , and fatling to do this make him clear out forthwith. Poisonous Dyes. ‘This topic forms the basis of a sensible letter, cau- tioning people against the use of poisonous dyes. ‘The poisons of these dyes—as, for instance, in colored flannel shirts—are absorbed, he says, into the system. All kinds of dyes of clothing or the hair he pronounces injurious if possessing poisonous in- tents, and advises extreme caution in the use of ‘ny modern fabrics. Jury Duty. “a Juror Who Has Suffered” strongly urges that something more than a shilling a case should be paid to jurors, The disposition to shirk jury duty he attributes to lack of proper compensation for loss of time, and insists that the Legislature should enact a law meeting the requirements of the case.
