WASHINGTON, July 4, 1869. Despatches received by a near lady relative of the General in command of the Cuban forces, now re- siding near this city, give a full account of the ai- tempt to succor the Spanish forces in Las Tunas, A train, with a force of from 1,500 to 2,500 men as a guard, was sent to relieve the garrison at that place. They were mterrupted by a squadron of General Marmol’s cavairy and a large portion of the train captured. In the contest the Spanish loss was over 200, They succeeded in reaching Las Tunas with a portion of the train and found the garrison suffering from cholera and an acclimating fever, which had almost rendered it helpless, After a few days the disease broke out among the reinforcements. The encampment was vacated, and after severe loss the garrison succeeded in their retreat. In the Cinco Villas district the forces under Lesca have been repulsed with considerable slaughter, and the whole territory regained to the Cuban army. The result has given courage to the inhabitants, and the recent outrages perpetrated by Lesca, and the fact that no quarter is to be given to the revolution- ists, whether actively engaged in the field or in sym- pathy with the cause, hag inspired the inbabitanis with an tatense hatred of Spanish rule and driven thousands into the atmy of Quesada. Thus reinforced he has ordered an active offensive movement by the entire army, and despatches reOeived state that he has regained a number of important positions and is now master of the northwestern portion of the island. It 1g algo reported that the instructions of the new Captam General, De Rodas, are to carry out the policy of Dulce—that of conciliation, and positively to control the volunteer organiaations aud maintain the supremacy of Spain—and that orders have been issued to prevent the committing of such atrocities as were recently committed by General Lesca =in- $=the Cinco —- Villas district. The effect of this policy upon the volun- teers has been to produce dissensions throughout the entire organization. The volunteers who have given adhesion to tne De Rodas adminiftration by the surrender of the control of forts, arsenals and other important positions are denounced as trai- tors. ‘The emigration to the island is rep orted to be in- creasing, and now amounts to over 7,000 men, who have served in the late war in this country, and are now acting in earnest with the Cubans in their et- forts to secure their independence. These despatches assert that the Cuban forces are well organized, are armed with the most approved arms, a large pio- portion being breech-loading rifles, are well provis- joned and in the best spirits. In the arrangement of the commands of the army General Thomas Joréan has been named as commander of the Eastern Di- vision, and some of the most prominent and success- ful of the Cuban generals are in his command, among whom are Marmol, Marcano aad Peralta, of Louisiana, , The town of Holgutn, after an encounter in which the Spaniards lost over 300 men, was captured by Jordan’s command, ST.

NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, JOLY 5, 1869, WASHINGTON. The Iaterview Between the English and Spanish Ministers. INSTRUSTIORS TO MISISTER SICKLES, No Nogotiations for the Pur- chase of Cuba. THE TEST OATH IN VIBGINIA, 4n Opinion trom Attorney General Hoar Calied For. Wasiinoton, July 4, 1860, English and Spanish Ministers—News from Cuba. T have ascertained from an official source that the, recent conferences between the English Minister and Seflor Roberts, the Spanish Minister, about which so much has been said tn the newspapers, has no significance as touching public affairs. Mr. Thornton's visit was of a friendly character, and the only subject of importance mentioned was the case of the vessel Mary Lowell, captured some time ago by @ Spanish war steamer. This was brought up incidentally; but no conclusive arrangement was proposed on either side, The Spanish Minister re- ceived a despatch to-day from Cuba which states that everything is going on smoothly so far as the Spaniards are concerned. The excessive heat and the prevalence of yellow fever had, to a great ex- The new Captain General, De Rodas, 1s making prepara- tions for an active campalgn against the insurgents ag soon as the warm weather is over and the health of the tro ps shal! have improved. He pro- poses to call for fresh reimforcementa from Spain, and hopes with these to follow the insurgents Into the interior and to those parte of the island hitherto held almost undisputed by the Cubans. The Spanish Legation does not take any stock in the news sent here from Key West. There they say the @ubans have complete control of the sources of news and manipulate everything to suit themselves. What comes from Havana direct they regard as the nly correct inform ation that reaches the public. Instructions to Minister Sickles—No Negotin- tion for the Parchase of Cuba. The instructions to Minister Sickles were drawn at the Department of State with much caution, and soon thereafter sent to him tn New York under such circumstances as to preclude the possibility of a premature disclosure of their contents; but from what has since transpired in oficial circies it is safe to assert that there is no instruction relative to the purehase of Cuba. Virginia Campsign—Providential as Political Capital. A United States offictal who arrived this morning from Richmond says the publication of the letter of General Stoneman relative to the alleged attempt of Governor Wells to seli out the franchises of the Vil- Visitations ginia ratiroads, has had a most damaging effect upon the prospects of the radical ticket in that State. Wells’ course in this matter was known toa few officials, but the masses of the people were ignorant of it until Genera] Stoneman’s letter appeared in the newspapers. It has had the effect ofturning many honest whites who would, probably, have voted for Wells against him, and they now announce their intention of voting for Walker. Within the last week the conservative cause has made great headway, and it is the opinion of those best acquainted withthe condition of the canvass that Walker will small majority, owing to the preponderance of the negro vote. by the be elected, though by a The negro preachers in Virginia, aided white carpet-baggers are making the most out of the accident which happened recently by the breaking down of a bridge im connection with the conservative negro mass meeting. Taking advantage of the well-Known superstition of the negro, these demagogues who set themselves up a6 leaders of that element are laboring to convince the blacks that this was a judgment visited upon them by Providence as a punishment for their participa- tion jn @ conservative meeting. They do not hesi- tate to say that if the negroes vote the conservative ticket on Tuesday next still greater calamities will fall upon them. This, of course, has its effect upon the more ignorant and superstitious negroes. The better class, however, have long since signified their purpose of voting for Walker, who they thiuk is as much interested in their welfare as Wells. General Van Wyck left here for New York to- night, having just returned from Virginia. He re- ports the contest in that State excited and bitter; that the constitution, without the test oath and dis- franchising clauses, will be adopted, and that the vote for Governor will be very heavy and close. The Test Onth in the Unreconstructed States An Opinion Called For. It having been brought tothe attention of the President that General Canby will require the mem- bers elect of the Virginia Legislature to take the “4ron-clad” oath, the President will submit the question to the Attorney Generat for his opinion. ‘rhis course will be pursued by the President in order that there may be uniformity in reorganizing respectively the States of Virginia, Mississippi and Texas under the amendatory reconstruction laws, The Radical Prospects in Pennsylva John Codove, chairman of the Republican State Central Committee of Pennsylvania, is expected here this week to consult with the President and heads of departments concerning the approaching political campaign in that State, The leading radt- cal politicians express the opinion that the contest in that State will be close, no matter who the demo- crats may nominate,- They say that Covode will muke a direct demand upon the President to give some Pennsylvania republican a place in the Cabi- net before the campaign opens, Although Borie was of little account politically, still he represented the State in a certain way in the Cabinet, and his withdrawai has bad a dispiriting effect upon the leaders of the party in Pennsylvania as well as upon the mass of voters. Radicalism in Mississippi. A delegation of Mississippians has arrived here to urge the removal of General Ames, the military commander of Mississippi. The delegation proposes to call upon the Presiaent and represent that Ames is romoving all the conservative republicans from office and so manipulating the patronage of the State fg to secure his own election as one of the United States Senators. * Secretary Borie’s Letter of Resignation.

AN EVENTFUL SUNDAY. Pistol Accidents, Felonious Assaults, Fires and Accidents. Yesterday was the most eventful Sunday of the year in police recollections.

K.-Gilmer, then chairman of the Republican State Wxecttive Committee, and others who were origina) Union men, had long been dissatisfied with the proscriptive measures advocated by Governor Wells and: lis carpet-bag adherents. Well» testimony before the Reconstruction Commitee at Washington, in welt the people of Virginia were so foully calumniated, Was a dose too hard for any natives to swallow, be they republicans or otherwise, and with an actual disgast tor the company in which they found them- selves they tamely submitted to circumstances over which they had no control, At length, however, & matter transpured that not only opened the eyes of the abovenamed gent:emen to the enormities in- tended to be practised upon the people by Governor Wells and hia party, but they were shecked at the boldness and. effrontery with which a vite propost- tion was made to sell to a foreign corporation the State’s imierest in one of her main rallroads—in faet, the road which is the key to the trade of the great West, This was without ques- tion the real cause which produced the bolt of the native republicans at Petersbarg, and whitch aubse- quently resulted in the formation of a new republi- cun party on an administration basis and the nom- ination of Gilbert C. Watker and his ticket in opposi- tion to Wells and: the: ultras. Railroads and therr interests and influences have entered largely into the present canvass iu Virginia, and the history of the proposition alluded te on the part of Governor Wells now opened up by General stoneman’s iecter from San Francisco, published in the HERALD, the best explains the nature of the con- test. Prior to his appoiutment as Governor, Wells, of his own volition, pledged himself to secure the consolidation of the railroad lines: ter- minaung at Norfolk aud Bristol, of which General Mahone is the president. Safely installed in the mansion on the square the Governor, with a@ strange inconsistency, forgot his pledges, and a few months aiterwards found iim: appoinung men-who were republicans directors and State proxies, but who did not own a doliar's worth of property in the State. In October last, however, the event occurred referred to by General Stoneman which caused such widespread astonishment among the leaders and members of the republican party when it became know! On the 26th of that month a Mr. R. T. Wil- son, of New York, arrived in this elty for the pur- pose, a8 he himself disclosed, of defeating, if possi- le, the re-election of Mahone as ‘president of the consolidated line of rakroads, par- ticularly the Virginia and Tennessee road. It was then understood that the Board of Public Works was m a few days to make the appomtments of State proxies for that road, and that the Governor did not accord with the other members of the Board as to these appointments, his object being to putin men who wouid be inimical to the re-elecuon of Mahone, and consequently the de- feat of consolidation. With this effected, the Vir- ‘inia and ‘Tennessee road would then, like the range and Alexandria road, at once become a tribu- tary of Baltimore. Norfolk would be irretrievably rumed, and New York would be deprived of the large and creasing trade that reaches it by the Old Dominion line of steamships. At this opportune time, aiso, ther@ appeared a number of writ- ten complaints from Mr. John $8. Barbour, of the Orange and Alexandria road; Mr. Thos. H. Calloway, of the Georgia snd Tennessee road, a partner of the Mr, Wilson above mentioned; Governor Brownlow, of Tennessee, and others, and Governor Wells stated that Mr. Peter Cooper and Senator Morgan, of New York, nad also written complaints against the management of the Virginia aud Ten- nessee |. Mahone was at once arraigned as a cul- rit before his Excellency and the Board of Public ‘orks to answer the trumped-up charges against him, which he then proved tw be wantonly frivolous; but he ciearly intimated to the gentlemen present the real object for which the written complaints were intended. About the same day or that previous Mr. Wilson, of New York, had visited Governor Wells, and ‘made him a proposition to purchase the State’s interest in the Virginia and Tennes- Railroad for $6,000,000, to pay $2,000,000 , and the remainder by instalment at stated intervals. Whatever private undersianding there existed between Mr. Wilson and Governor Wells ig unknown, except that the Baltimore and Ohio road, Whose agent Wilson is supposed to have been, were to build a ratiroad along the Georgetown Canal, partially owned by Wells, which would con- nect the Orange and Alexandria road with the Baiti- more and Ohio road. Ail the freight and travel coming over the Virginia and ‘Tennessee road would then oe rome org, nj 6 Steneiee road into jtumore, Wells receiving @ heavy perceniage on every passenger and pound of treight rane over his line of canal, i the Proposition of Wilson could be consummated. He visited the treasurer, George Rye, and endeavored to induce fim, asa member of the Board of Public Works, to sanetion the pro sale; but that gentieman re- lied that he would suffer his right arm to be ulled from its socket before he would vend ts aid to such @ scheme. Returning to ms office, out of which Wells had called him, Mr. Rye remarked to a gentleman present, his face pale with excitement, “My God, sir, & monstrous proposition has been made, threatel the very overthrow of the Commonwealth, her interest, as Ido, to be so deeply and vitally involved in the mainte- nance of ber tian § consolidation scheme.'’ Finding himself foiled in every attempt to corrupt the Board of Public Works, vernor Wells thea sought General be and vainly endeavored to induce that distinguished officer to authorize the proposed sale by military order, urging that the finances of the State were wi such a condition that the amount offered would be of the greatest benelit to the people at large in the prompt payment of interest due om the debt. The General, however, also de- clined to accede to the proposition, and, batNed at all points, the Governor, then, to relieve himseif of the odium that would attach to him on this account, made an otter to sell the interest to Mahone, who at once demanded his asthority, witch so non-plussed him that he fairly blushed. ‘These are the events and the transactions to which Geneval Stoneman referred in nis brief letter, 0 straightforward and convincing. Such are the in- fluences at work im the campaign. ‘The Baltimore anc Ohio monopoly are, by funds and otherwise, ac- tively endeavoring to secure the election of Wells, assnred that sooner or later through him they shall get possession of the Virginia and Tennessee Ratl- road, and consequently the key to the West, THE CAMPACGN IN ALABAMA, Democratic Meeting in Mobile—Speech of W. D. Maun—Sketohes of the Democratic Can- didates for Congress. An enthusiastic meeting of democrats and con- servatives was held in Mobile on the 22d ult. to ratify the nomination of William D, Mann as a candidate for Congress. A number of speeches were made. In the course of his remarks Colone! Mann, who was a Union officer during the war, said:— When armed opposition was ended, when the t Chrisiian aioe Robert EB. Lee—and nis distin. guished lieaténanta, had surrendered their armies, the war was over with me. 4 believed ork was accomplished, 1 thought, the nation’s strengti ‘vindicated, it could afford to be magnanimous; and | believe nine-tenths of all my fellow soldiers beld the same views. And I give you now, a8 my candid conviction, that had the whole question of the b ing of past differences and the restoration of rel tiona between the several States and towards the general government veen left then to the men who fonght, to-day would have found the whole country more united, more pr rous, More peaceful; the people freer, happier and more loyal to the repubitc than ever before in its history, .
