CUBA. Insurgents= Mexican Citizens in Cuba, Havana, March 20, 1869, ‘The sailing of the political prisoners for Fernando Po or elsewhere is set down for to-morrow. It has for more than two weeks past been the principal sub- ject of conversation and speculation among all classes. Though there is a possibility that the vessel may be still further delayed, it cannot be long. The ship selected, after considerable difficuity, is the Francisco de Borjas, a Spanish war vessel with two guns and eighty men. She is commanded by Com- mander Heres. The orlop lias been divided into three compartments, each to contain 105 prisoners. They will be subdivided in accordance with their posttion in life. They have been permitted to pro- vide their own mess and to engage a cook. Mons, Ndouard, of the French Hotel Legrand, has been selected, Each prisoner has contributed sixty-eight dollars towards the common fund, Private subscriptions have been made for the poorer prisoners, who are comparatively few. The cost of the provisions, wines, &c., pro- vided amounts to $10,009. The money which the prisoners take with them, independent of the letters of credit, reaches the sum of $300,000. It q@may be doubted if a shtp load of” prisoners were evér better Provided before. They are to be guarded by 100 volunteers, who are paid as follows:—Two dollars per diem to the sergeants, one dollar and a half to cor- porals and one dollar to the men. Among the offi- cers going ts one Martel, who 1s a person of some means, and whose hatred to the Oubans is such that he accompanies the prisoners, as he says, to treat them as severely as possible and to make sure that they are taken to Fernando Po. Commander Heres is an officer of the Spanish mavy and is represented to be a humane gentleman. He goes under sealed orders, with instructions to open them upon the high seas, and this confirms the idea, extensively entertained, that the prisoners will be taken to Cadiz; or at least those guiltless of any oifence, comprising the majority. It is thought pro- babie that the ship will touch at the Canary Islands. Most of the prisoners that have means have given powers of attorney for the transaction of their busi- ness to their triends, and many have made their wills, Among the latter is Don Carlos del Castillo, who bequeaths $1,000, It is stated this morning that their destination 1s Canary Islands, News of encounters between the troo} gents continues to reach us as usual, gos, the 17th, we learn that the artillery column, under Morales de los Ri with @ squadron of cavairy, had come up with 2,000 rebels .of Villa Clara, at Potrerillo, under Morales the Pole, Villa- mil and ochers, and had completely routed them, rt the killing 205, wounding 300 ana twepty-one prisoners, some horses, arms, rigoners were also retaken. The Jost one stam arrived at Cienfuegos on the 14th. The main body of his command was at Arimao, to which place he had sent supplies for 2,000 men. In his march he found the town of Cumanayagua deserted, having been sacked ~d the rebels. The only point where the rebels found any refuge was in Siguanea, where, owing to the ruggedness of the road, he could not bec is artillery, and he did not care to pursue them hout tt. General Letona arrived in Villa Clara on the 14th. - He had a number of encounters with the rebels, in all of which he punished them severely. The shops an that piace been closed for a month, but upon the arrival of Letona with his chasseurs they were again opened. It was expected that the railroad to Cienfuegos would be repaired soon. Dates from Trinidad are to the 17th. Colonel Bas- cours, commanding the column operati) in this Jurisdiction, had been slightly wounded an en- counter, but had recovered and was in the field again. The rebels had burned the estate of Seflor Esquera, a Spaniard. The rebei chief Rojas was killed in a fight near Guaracabulla, From Espiritu Santo dates are to the 12th. Seve- rai parties of rebels had passed the borders of that jurisdiction from atoron, Remedios and Villa Clara. Poello was expected back soon from his excursion in the direction of Moron. It is thought he extended his march to the confines of Puerto Principe. Nothing was known of his movements. An early re- storation of teleg:aph communication was roped 1 for. Sagua dates are to the 15th. The insurgents, being hotly pressed, had retarned to Alvarez, and on their way had destroyed the rajiroad and telegraph. A column of 800 volunteers was expected. Between Sagua la Grande and Sagua la Chica the insurgents have burned tive sugar estates after ing away tue negroes, whom they armed with machetes, On the estate “Gesorta,” belonging to Don Fabian Gar- cia, 350 hogsheads of sugar were destroyed and eighty slaves taken off. Later dates say there have been two very bivody actions in Alvarez, thirty miles from Macagua. Large forces of insurgents have overrun the country. A band of 1,000 men had ap- peared at Macagua. On the 17th a party of 500 Invaded Lue territory of Cardenas, and in the vicinity of a town called Motimbo some fighting had takea place. ‘Two estates belonging to Spaniards had been burned, ‘The government had directed the concentration of a1 its forces in the Villa Clara district, including those under Letona, Pelaz and Poello, with the tllery column of Colonel Morales de los Rios and onsiderabie force of cavalry, estimated to number in aif 10,000 men. The insurgents, in despite of their ineMiciency and the disadvantage of want of organ- ization, arms and artillery, were fighting with great bravery and desperation. The nature of the ground is such that encounters are very frequent, A fight is reported in Remedios on the 15th, when 3,000 rebels were defeated by afew volunteers and 456 killed, while the latter lost but two wounded. Five chiefs were taken and immediately shot. I In Colon on the 17¢h the express train had arrived, With 400 troops and a section of militia cavalry under Colonel Araoz. Excessive rains throughout the jurisdiction had caused suspension of grinding on ali the plantations. Brigadier Lopez Pinto has been appointed Com- mandant General and Governor of Matanzas. He has assumed office. A rising was reported in Bolondron. Commandant Obregon, second in command of Benegasi's “vrder column,” has been named Lieu- = Governor of Holguin, in place of Sefor Jain ps. Letters through Spanish sources have been re- ceived here from Puerto Principe. They state that Lesca leit Guanaja with 1,800 men and arrived with Jess than half that number, having lost the balance on the route, it.was supposed the provisiong be left St Guanuja fell into the hands of the rebels. Man: of the women of Puerto Principe had out with their children to join their husbands, fathers and sons in the insurgent ranks. Lesca had issued an order directing their return within a certain time on pain of being made lable under military law. He Wants them to prevent an attack on the gity by the rebels, Regarding the fifty prisoners recently brought here La Vor de Cuba says:—“We cuanot but censure Seor Moreno Villar, the Governor of Remedios, who is known cision aad energy, for having com- Initted the error of sensing tuther men whom he could have tried = himsell. The trial of Supposed criminals should take place in the locality of their alleged offences. If innocent they suffer less; if culpable it is proper that they should suffer on the spot where their crimes were commit- ted.” The meaning of which is that Governor Villar should have shot them. ong vy however, that entieman is not willing to do his share of that bioodietting Which Dulce so lavishly lets out’ to his subaiterns, in order that his own name may not be slaied. Commissions of volunteers from Remedios, Trinidad and Santiago de Cuba have arrived here to represent the stuation In their respective juris- dictions; y state that the forces in those places are far from sulicient to protect the le against tue enemy who is everywhere presen’ mself, The Mexicans resident in Cuba are ina very bad way. They are everywhere objects of suspicion, no matter how innocent. A fortnight ago they applied to the American Consul for protection, but of course he id do nothing. There is no Mexican consul here, Numbers of them bave been arrested and are now incarcerated, with no one to speak in their behall.

And tn the roadway, from curb to curb, not the bridge, crossed the Seine and drove rapidly down the banks of that beautiful river towards the cha- teau of Mr. Welles. It is situated on one of the most delightful spots in the neighborhood ot Paris, on the southern bank, half way between the royal palaces of St, Cloud and Neuilly, with the celebrated abbey that was the retreat of Charles X. rising up behind on the top of a high eminence. Before we reached Mr. Welles’ we passed the gorgeous chateau and grounds of Baron Rothschild—I believe he is a his headquarters at Cai An intimacy Spr the usual number of lumbering stages, trucks and to the church, chanting the Pange Lingua, Baron—but up between him and that since famous chief, and | carts only, but splendid equipages, open phaetons, | While the clergy recited the Psalms without the oma en telns ce eee rrpaaigil when, upon the expiration of the term of service of | such as are generally sence in the Park on a | usual ending, Gloria Patria, Having arrived at the repository and the host being placed safel¥ in the tabernacle, the Zantwm Ergo was sung—the tabernacle and surroundings were incensed by the celebrant, after which the clergy retired to the sacristy. The ceremonies in THE OTHER CHURCHES consisted only of the mass and the procession. In each church the repository had becn prepared in a manner becoming to the occasion and in keeping with the character of the congregation attending the church, It would be tvidious to make any com- parison in regard to the elegance of the prepara- tions or decorations. No expense had been spared and the most exquisite fowers, furmed into appro- priate devices, together with curtains of richest lace, gold and silver ornaments, aud innumerable lights, gaye a beauty and a# brilliancy to the sacred edafiices, During the day and evening large crowds visited the different churches and, remaining in each but a short time, viewed the decorations or recited a short appropriate prayer. ‘This custom of visiting the repositories has, for some inexplicable reason, been commonly called “visiting the sepulchres.’” his regiment, he was mustered out, he accepted a colonel’s commission in the liberal service. From that time he took an active in all the operations of the combined liberal forces under Escobedo, end- ing in the surrender of Querétaro. Though a brave man and capable oMcer his advancement was re- tarded by that jealousy of foreigners so instinclive in the breast of Mexicans. Upon the establishment of peace he was retained in the army. with his old rank, but was extremely bitter towards the govern- ment fof its neglect of his claims. Counting too much on the great unpopularity of the Juarez ad- ministration and no doubt hoping for advancement under another, he attached himself to the {il-starred rebellion of Negrete, was captured and ts now held & prisoner, fortunate in not having been made @ vic- tim of that carnival of blood which followed, and which Juarez has been compelled by public opinion tostop. He will probably be sentenced to imprison- ment or banished from the country. HORSE NOTES. bright early. summer's afternoon. This turnout of on and wealth on wheels was 80 great on this thoroughfare yesterday that at many points the patroimen of the Broadway squad of the po- lice had interfere to prevent a coin- plete blockade of the street, and they had to constantly on the alert to escort ladies across—a thing that had heretofore been known to occur in the more crowded business parts of Broadway down town for several hours in suc- vession. At the junction of Broadway and Fifth avenue or Madison square the sight which met one’s eye,reminded one strongly of the view presented by the Boulevard des Itaiiens in Paris, the King strasse in Vienna or Unter den Linden in Berlin, on a great national /é/e day. But with ali this kw gloespa and splendor, with all this grand display of beauty, weaith and fashio: there was commingled a thread of sorrow which could not be overlooked. Poor, maimed soldiers of the late war, one legged and one armed, sat on the curb of nearly every street corner giinding out familiar tunes from their wheezy hand organs, plac- breeches a little the worse of wear. We reached the gate of the chateau early in the afternoon, and about the same time the sun broke out in great brilliancy, as if aware that we had been annoyed all the morn- ing. On entering the gate a bell rang which an- nounced at the house the approach of visitors. On entering 1 was presented by Mr. Welles to his lady, around whom I found several ladies and gentlemen from the United States. Before dinner the whole party, except the ladies, took a walk over the grounds, which are laid out in English style—wind- ing walks, elegant shrabbery, deep forest, soft vel- vet lawns, summer houses peeping up here and there—and @ most beautiful and romantic cascade 1n the centre of a miniature forest, where the water, conveyed by leaden pipes from a high hill at st.

To tHe Eprror oF THe HERALD :— An article headed a “Conspiracy against the Pub- lic Schools’ appeared in the Tribune of the 19th inst., which Tam compelled to notice in consequence of the bigoted spirit of the writer. The statements made therein concerning the pretended absorption of the school fund into the Catholic treasury to be used for purposes of “Catholic” education I believe to be false. The writer cites some sections of the reso- lutions offered in our Legistature by Assemblyman iiitchman and others as his authority, His author- ity, however, is very slim, as not an idea is expressed to Warrant or justify his reasoning that because a party legisiates or manceuvres to obtain control of an important object in the local government on acertain degree of exhaustion necessitated by the efforts of the professor to acquire control’over his subjects, * Sam McLanghlin says that he is anxious to trot Mountain Boy against any horse in the worid, mile heats, best three in five, in harness, over the Union Course, during the month of May, for from $1,000 to $5,000 aside. Mr. Lovell, the owner of Ai Girl, is also Willing to match her for $1,000 against any horse, mare or geiding, two races, one ip har- ness and the other to wagons, mile heats, best three in five, the trots to come off on 2d and 9th of May, one at the Union and the other at the Fashion Course. And Mr. Lovell further says that if McLaughlin will not trot at the Fashion Course he will trot him both races at the Union Course on the days specified above. Wiil these matches be made? Is there any reality in these manifestations, or are they merely intended as laudations of their respective On the 26th of April Lady Loveil, Jimmy O'Brien, Red Rover and Mr. Hendricks’ bay mare trot for a sweepstakes at the Fashion Course, mile heats, best Fe in Tips ) ee On e po day La vell’s geldin, im and Dr. Ogie’s sorrel gelding Pet trota Teaton of mile heats, in ha or $250 aside. In a week after that they come to- gether in a match for alike amount, two inile heats, their respective owners to drive. Lately Harlem lane has been alive with trotters, many of the first class horses being driven out for exercise. We have seen few new ones worth men- tioning as yet. We hear some complaint about the condition of the roads, and learn that they have not been worked since election time. Horse feed of every description ts uncommonly low at present; but livery stabie keepersdo not seem to comprehend that fact, as their charges are quite a8 high as they have been at any previons When the high prices consequent uj of our currency were rated they were about the first to take advantage of the new order of things, and their excessive prices have been main- tatned without abatement from that time to the pre- sent, without the remotest probability of a change for the bevter. Notwithstanding all the efforts of the Soctety for Some time ago, owing to the urgency of the HERALD, the Rip Van Winkles of the Street Depart- ment were shaken from their oficial lethargy and made to understand that, from time to time, since the State of New York was organized, laws had been passed which they were expected to enforce; but, of course, waking up suddenly does not always leave everybody with a very clear head, nor were the Street Commissioner's folks an exception to the general rule when they were woke up; for, after they had rubbed their eyes a littie and yawned a lit tle, and stretched more than they yawned, they ‘went to work to do their duty in keeping the streets free from all obstructions. The fag poles— probably because of their height—were the first objects their eyes lit upon, and straigntway a joily raid was made upon the unfortunate perpendica- lars; then, flushed with a certain amount of glory and jing else that came handy, they provoked the unfortunate peanut women into a war and made a generat very cominendable charge upon ail their small outhouses, which have disigured our ae juares and sidewalks for many years past, i this done, a sort of armistice was, to all appear- ance, declared between the parties of the first part and the parties of the second part, and then the Street Commissioner's foiks laid down to take their usual official snooze. Now, any person who cares to drive about —— the more prominent of the lai thoroughsares of the city at present cannot fail to struck by their uniformity in the way of a plentifal- mess of obstructions, made by builders who have houses under construction. all very well to do away with hateful figure the beauty of the city, Nag poles t! nies will be most solemn.

When the cross has been entirely uncovered the celebrant, kneeling on both knees, bows before the crucifix three times and then kisses the head and fcet of the figure on the cross. The assisting priests do the same in turn, to signify their humble submission to the will of God in giving up His only son to die on the cross and the venera- tion with which they regarded (ie wounds inflicted on their Divine Redeemer fartniul present then approach the altar raiis and reverentiy kiss the crucifix, while the assisting clergy prepare and ad- Just the coverings on the altar.

How They Do Things in tho Skilfal Strategy to Multiply the Vell Over Crime—Murder as One of the Fine Arte—An Expose inthe Matter of Post Mortem Examinations. The most vivid fancies of the most exuberant Writers of fiction have failed in their far reaching dights of the imagination, in essaying descriptions of the “mysteries and miseries of the metropolis,” to give anything approaching the sad and stern realities of plain and positive fact. Their woven webs of fiction are slimsy shoddy, lacking continuity and strengta. ‘The bold ruggedness of truth is wanting: the under- current running sluggish and deep is not reveaied; the mass of corruption and rottenness at the bottom ig not probed and its nether foulness laid bare to the Public gaze. Those who undertake to tel the facts do not half tell them because they do not half know them. Peter Cooper and bus cohorts, marshalled to combat municipal corrup- tion, make a big noise with their heavy artillery, butthey shoot at long range and do no poasible harm. Bergh, whose tender sensibilities quiver a& the slightest sound of distress emanating from one of the brute creation, gets up a great hue and cry about cruelty to dumb animals and excites wondrous sym pathy for these poor unfortunates, while the more ter- rible abuses heaped upon the great flood of humanity all aboutus go unheeded ana uncheeked. Mean- tame the pulpit and the press only induige tn glitter- ing generalities, How really stands the case? To get at the bottom of the ‘mysteries and miseries of the metropolis” we must get at the bottom of the “rings,” under the control of which our preseaé municipal government lives and moves and has its being.

Itis unnecessary to tell how the coroners are now elected. It is equally unnecessary tu tel from what class of men they are now chosen. Every- body knows bow primary elections are managed, how nominations are secured, and how on the ‘vote early and vote often” item the final elections are accomplished. Everybody also knows that the question of fitness for the place has nothing to de with the matter. Greenbacks, muscle and toed do the entire work. Of course an occasional a fitting and retiable and honest man gets elected, bat these are exceptional cases and as as ex- ceptional. These do not get into the “ring,” an: neither do they get the benefit of the tra rquisites reaped by those in “ring.” ‘The system by which the present “ring,” composed of one or more coroners, several doctors, apothecaries and undertakers, are enriching themselves at the expense of the public, is as shame- lessly vile as it is iniquitously barefaced. The oilice is a [eed office. ‘To multiply the fees is the sole aim, For every witness so much is allowed.

For each juror there is also something allowed, but who ever heard of a juror ever getting anything? Besides, a good share of the juries are made of the same persons, the coroner’s deputy or clerk acting in such cases as the irrepressible foreman, and take it, for instance, at Bellevue Hospital, where the “Morgue” is, and @ majority of the inquests are held, the minor subordinates of the place being universally put on jury duty, an occa- sional drink at a contiguous rumshop paying them for the trouble of siguiug their names; for as regards: listening to the testimony, this is a matter of no con- sequence whatever. ‘The irrepressible foreman fixes z. vhe verdict.
