News from Cuban Sources—Spanish Come munication Cut Of Betweon Nuevitas and Principe—Insurgents in Possession of the Country Between—Important En- gagements Near Remedios and Sagan la Grande=Successfal Landing of Arms and Fillbusters. WasaineTon, July 28, 1869, Letters from Cuba received here contain intelll- gence to the 20th inst, General Quesada had de- stroyed two important bridges on the railroad from Nuevitas to Puerto Principe, cutting off communica- tion between those cities. All the initervening country is held by the Cuban forces. ‘The Spanish troops are now confined in those cities, and are suifering severely from disease and want of supplies. Several sorties had been made from Nuevitas, and in each instance the troops were driven back with severe loss, General Quesada has @ large number of Spanish prisoners, which he is hoiding as hostages for the proper treatment of Cubans who may fall into the hands of the Spanish commanders. Among them are a number of promt- nent government officials. ‘The letters state that the Cuban forces have pos- session of the country from Nuevitas to Puerto Principe, with several points on the coast, which gives them direct communication with the United States. Itis reported that there have been two important engagements, one near Remedios and the other at Sagua la Grande, in both of which the Spanish troops attacked the Cubans in force. At Remedios the Spaniards were driven off, with a loss of 160 in killed, wounded and prisoners, At Sagua la Grande the fight lasted seven nours, the Spanish forces numbering over 1,500, while that of the Cubans was less than 1,000 effective men. The Spaniards were finally compelled to retreat, witha 198s of over 300, while that of the Cubans was less than 120, The result of these battles bas inspired the Cubans with renewed courage, and they have no doubt of their ability to matotain themselves against the forces now in the fleld against them. A large supply of arms and ammunition, including a battery of artillery, with 860 men from the United States, successfully landed near Nuevitas, and are now a part of General Quesada’s forces. The sick- nessis reported to be abating, and Generals Que- sada and Jordan expect soon to assume the offen- sive with a force more than equal that of their opponents. = Havana Financial and Comm( il Markets.

HELL GATE. The New Drilling Apparatus. Since the initiation of proceedings showing a de- termination to get rid of the dangerous and un- sightly obstructions at Hell Gate, mechanics, on- gineers and inventors generally have turned their attention to thé construction of apparatus by which the cleaning away may be done speedily and cheaply. Scores of modéls and plans have been sub- mitted to General Newton, to whom the supervision of the work has been entrusted by the government, and the projector of each has been loud in his ex- Planations and enthuglastic in his assertions of the feasibility of hia invention and its superiority over all others. Some of the models submitted were really good in ‘many respects, but feli short of actual Rg leper in others, Among the models presented for consideration was one in- vented b; . B. G. Martin, which has met the ap. proval of General Newton and which appears to combine the elements of durability, simplicity and feasibility in an eminent degree. The apparatus when in position for working may be said to con- sist of a double cylinder setting on the rock or river bed and guarded from the current aud assing vessels by a strong cutwater at either end, the outer eaves is formed of stout piles, with heavy metal piates between them, The piles are connected in pairs by metal bands which slide up and down on ira set into the piles. latter, although thus joined, are, to a certein exteBt, independent of each other, and thus enabled to rest on the bed or rock, whatever teed be the irregularities on its surface, ‘I'he plates whicl slide between the piles in mortices are made of heavy metal, the lower one being pointed so that it may sink into the bed or catch on the rock, These metal plates come only high enough to form a sort of obstruction to any undercurrent, and above them will be slides of heavy wood. The imner cyliuder is formed entirely of wood, made in sections some- what simular to the other cylinder, and held together by stoat metal bands, Between the cylinders will be 4 filliag of a pecuuar cement, which will prevent the water entering the inner cytinder, The cut- water at either end 1s formed like a sharp bowed vessel, the sides of which meet at the sides of the cylinder, When tnese cutwaters are joined they will form a diamond- shaped guard to the cylinders. On the cutwater ap- paratus will be located the engines and machinery. As soon as the filling between the cylinders is com- pleted the water will be pumped out of the inner cylinder, and thus will be formed a well hole clear to the bottem, in which the drilting may be done for hours, If necessary. When it is requirea to change the location the workmen merely fit a watertight bottom to the mner cylinder, the plates between the piles of the outer cylinder are pulied up by means of chains which are attached to the plates, the water is thus allowed to flow in under the bottom, and the cylinders are floated up. The entire appa- ratus can then be floated to the desired location aud sunk a3 belore, Operations at Hell Gate Atout to Commences To THe EpiTor oF THE HEeRaLy:— Professor Maillefert informs me he intends to begin operations at Hell Gate, ana as he will have to have large quantities of powder veasels should be warned to keep away from his boats.

There was a large aud enthusiastic gathering of the shop tailors from nearly all of the prominent clothing firms in the city yesterday morning, at No. 42 avenue A, at elght o'clock A. M., to consider the feasibility of a general strike for increased wages. Mr, Jacob Otiz, chairman of the Central Committee, presided, there being eleven unions represented, be- aides & delegation from Newark. After the usual preliminary business, the following resolutions were introduced and passed unanimously:— paid” f present, prices of rent and living, although we should double t the regular hours of work ;'and, wacreas, we have repeatediy tried to obtain an advance upon the loyers knowtog our deplorable condition, yet obstl ‘using to comply with our just demande, be it Resolyed, That should ‘our employ turn their work. Resolved, That shonld the cutters of such houses as shall refuse to pay qur call, see fit to aid us by a strike, we do hereby declare that we shall consider it our sacred duty to strike for them whenever they shall find themselves in dificulty with their employers. Upon the adoption of this measure the members formed into a committee of the whole, and setting the body called and eh rai of the above resolutions at the following clothing hétisés:—peviin & Co. treet, Mayer & Co., Hasting out in the direction numbering upwards o! ft Broadway, 1,000 men, Brokard Bros,, Mr. Lon & Hastings, Ehiflet James Wilder, Preit & Strauss & Schiein, and Prindskoph. The communt- cation of the tailors was presented and received in & Levy, Mr. Louneboon, the most respectiul manner, except in the single house of Strauss & Sehiin, where the men say they were met by statements reflecting upon their sobriety and industry, They express much indignation at the employs upwards of three hundred hands, and they hold up in con- course of this house, which trast the satisfactory treaiment experienced from the other firme, week at the very most, and this is evidently inade- quate to supply the ordinary expenses of the worst living, For coats they receive from one dollar to five, the latter being the extreme limit for the finest workmanship; for pants the prices range from thirty-seven and a half cents to $1 12, according to quality, and for vests the same. Upon these prices the men are resolved to work no longer. The} assert that, as compensation for labor performed, the several rates are ridiculously small, and that tue only way to reap the legitimate fruits of an honest and irksome labor is by a combined strike, carried out orderly and without violence or inumi- dation, and this they have set on foot and intend to carry through. Last evening the firm of Carhart & Wettford signified its intention of acceding to the demands of the tailors. This morning, at eight o'clock, the organization will meet again at No. 42 avenue A, and the committee will continue to visit other firms in the city, A strict watch will be kept upon the houses that have already been notified, aud any members found to enter them for work will be dealt with accoraing to the rules of the so- clety. ‘at four o'clock the meeting was called to order again and a report embodying the above facts was read, When adjournment was effected till this morn- ing. fa thia strike the tallors will be supported by the united labor interests of the island and vicinity, ana they propose to conduct it with moderation and fArmuess.

Mr. Trumbull and Professor Whitney ve appointed a committee to perfect the complete orga- nization of an American Philological Society, whigh motion was unautinously agreed to. Professor Morse was expected to be present to- day, but having been disabled by an accident, a resdlation tendering him condolence and sympathy was adopted. At twenty minutes past nine the Uhairman of the Convention announced the regular order of busi- ness, which was the reading of papers by Professors Feiling and Halderman, on the correct pronun- ciation of Latinand Greek. Professor Feiling ad- vaaced to the platiorm and commenced his reading. In his remarks he urged the adoption of some unt- form system a8 @ standard, but did not argue in favor of either of those which are used except so far ag to indicate in outline the correct vowel sounds which he deemed most important. The Cnarn then called for the reading of the second paper upon Latin and Greek, by Professor Halder- man, of Columbia, Pa.. Ho took the ground that the grammarians have erred in placing stress upon be letter ratuer than the sound. He thought long and short vowels might have and actually do have the same sound, while what are usually spoken of as long and short are really different vowels, having an enue distinct sound, So that what we technically call “long” is often “short,” while what we call “short? 1g orven in pealily “long.” Professor Haldermaa was applauded, *- 0 soe Te yhe a ord gave tho rincipat points of a paptr by Charles Astor Bristod, of New York.

A communication trom Matthew Vassar extend- ing an invitation to the Convention to visit Vassar Coilege was cordially accepted.

The essayist Qweit upon the necessity of the study of Latin and Greek for many professions, among which he named the lawyer, physician, chemist, &c. Prof. C. Il. Magill, Swarthmore College, Pennsyl- vania, read the next paper, on the true foundation for a course of linguistic studies.
