CUBA. Continuation of Spanish Cru- elties. ARBITRARY ACTS OF THE VOLUNTEERS, The Burning of Plantations Continued. ‘The steamahip Morro Castle, Captain Adams, from Havana the 13th, via Nassau, arrived at this port yesterday. She brings latest mail news of the pro- gress of the revolution, Tne purser wi!l receive our acknowledgments for favors received. E@ect of the Letter from the Jiguan! Prison- ere Published in the Herald—Fearful Rav: ages of Epidemicse—Report of Operations , Under Valmaseda—Shooting of Jordan’s Chief-of-Staf! and Quartermaster—Spauish Humanity~Cholera in the City. ‘ SANTIAGO DE CuBA, Noy. 5, 1869. The publication in the HERALD of the 18th ult. of the letter written by the unfortunate prisoners wno ‘Were massacred at Jiguant, before their removal from the prison here, and in which they implored help Irom the consuls, has caused some little sensa- tion among those who taste such forbidden fruit as the foreign papers. The voice ef the dead men, ‘which the Spanish authorities tried so hard to stifle, still finding utterance, though far from the scene of crime, cheers the depressed Cubans and may be of service in checking the atrocities of the Spantards, though this latter 1s exceedingly problematical, ag they have long been beyond sny sense of shame, and cherish o supreme contempt for public opinion at home and abroad. For some time past Vatmaseda’a columna have been hard at work, and the only tangible re- sult, as Known here, has been the daily arrival of mick and wounded, princtpally the former, as the cholera, smallpox and vomito, alaed by dysentery and low fever, are making fearful havoc in the Spanisn ranks. Indeed, sickness has almost en- tirely cleared out the troops from Aserradero. Three days ago thirty-three were brought in by a schooner, three bodies having been thrown overboard on the passage. To-day the official paper publishes a report of operations, claiming the complete defeat and disper- sion of the enemy and the clearing up of the coun- try beyond Palo Picado and Juan Faron, causing a Toss to the insurgents of 120 killed, among whom are Brigadier Tamayo, Captain Gouchet and two Amer!- cans named Harry Clevivey (in another despatch Henry Chase), and William Crosland, respectively ehbief-of-staff, and quartermaster general to Jordan. These two were captured alive, but very much worn out with hunger and fatigue, and, m fact, in such a depiorable condition that their humane captors, With true Spanish generosity, fed them for a couple of days to put @ little life into them and theu oe it out again, by the usual four shots in the Among the dead in the engagement on the estate eer near Guantanamo, mentioned tn my last, Was the Spanish chief Pancho Perez, cousin to Miga- el Perez, who commands a horde of very irregular cavalry, Which has done very good service to the government in the Guantanamo aistrict. It Is re- rted that Colone! Hidalgo, in command of one of he columns, captured two Yankees recently and shot them, but I have been unable to learn their names. General Valmaseda is very confident as to the re- sults Of his operations and believes that he has got the insurgents pretty well surrounde’. It remains, however, to be seen whether they will not fight bet- er than heretofore, as indeed | believe they are do- ing, in which case their numerical superiority may enabie them to keep the Spaniards in check. Got couria is eagerly Jooxed for and reports of his land- ing are circulated at times, but from purely insur- gent sources and with the ldea of creauung a diver- Sion in their favor. The Spaniards say that in the various engage- ments which have taken place the insurgents mutl- Jate the nish dead which fall into their hands, On Sunday last a young man named Arthur Cast- Majou was found on the estate ‘‘Hsperanza,” near Guantanamo, and on his person letters of marque Qnd various documents and despatches from Ces- les, He was taken into Guantanama, tried on fonday night and shot Tuesday morning. Emigration 13 completely stopped by the exaction of the $5,000 bond not to do anyching against the nauonal integrity; and even uniortanate women nd children, Whose husbands or parents are abroad, are not permitted to join them, such is the Spanisn dread and disiike of anybody betug able to tell the truth about what 18 happening here. ‘The public health continues bad, though there has been a change in the weather and north winds have get ip. Deaths from cholera continues from twelve to seventeen daily. The last month’s average was about ten per diem. Snrallpox and yeiow feyer are also making great ravages. General de Rodns at Trinidad—Pardon of ‘Thirty-seven Criminals—The Municipal Elece tion—Burning of the Estate Sabanilla—The Cholera Decreasing. TRINIDAD, Nov. 10, 1869, Last evening at haif-past five o'ciock arrived here the steamer Cienfuegos from the city of that name, having on board his Excellency the Captain General, accompanied by General Lesca, commanding the forces operating dn the Cinco Villas, his chief of ataff, the Governor of the diocese, 60 called, anda number of other officials and distingylshed persons, He was received with the usual demonstrations and with much enthusiasm by the Spanish population. To-day he has visited all of the public institutions and other places of interest. At the public prison he celebrated his visit bv pardoning thirty-seven of the inmates, whose names bad been submitted to him as most fitting subjects for executive clemency, This morning the Governor of the diocese of Havana, who 1s chaplain of the company of guards accompanying General de Rodas, celebratea high mass in the principal church of the city, It 18 understood that the Captain General will not go further east as he is expected to be in Hayanaon Saturday, the 13th. So little interest was felt in the municipal elec- tion of this city, which took place on Sunday last, that a sufficient number of those entitied to the eiec- tive francliise to Constitute an election did not vote, ‘This is owing to the fact that here, as elsewhere, the candidates are selected by the authorities, and when once elected are entirely conirolied py them, Yrenudering the whole thing a farce. Information reached here yesterday that the estate Sabanilla and acattie farm in the vicinity have beea burned by the msurgents. No operations of importance have occurred here of late. The inaurgents are a’ numerous as ever in the jurisdic won and likely to continue so, as they go on the principle of “live two fight another day.’ The Zmparcial of this morning states taat tu a fighc in Cienfuegos recently the chiel Leow was kilied. We have bad northerly winds of late, which have had a most benesictal effect on the heuith of the city, d the number of deaths trom we cholera and fevers has sensiciy diminisued.

An oficial account of operations in the jurisdiction of Santiago de Cuba and vicinity appears in the Pancera Eepaitol of the 6th, Itstates that despatches have arrived trom Casa- nova under an escort of thirty cavairy, announcing that the several columns, proceeding from that juris. diction and from Bayamo, to whom was entrusted the bunting over of that secon fying between the Con- tramaesire and the Cauto, had accomplished their miseton with the most bappy results, beating and dispersing the enemy and si/ing tore than 120, a@mong whom were the Brigadier Tamayo, Cap. tain Gouchet, Harry Clevivey and William Crosland, tne last two Americans and on the staff of Jordan, The troops were very active, being kept in constant motion im order to prevent the return of the insurgents to those places from whence they had peen driven out. They were separated into smal) detachments in order to ope- rate More eifectively against the parties into which the insurgents had subdivided themselves, It was Proposed to compel the families which had taken refuge in the Sierra to come to town and place ‘hemaelves under the vigilance of she authorities. Says the report:—‘ia Las Yaguas and Filipines bave hid themselves the small number of insurgents ‘which remained after the brilliant fights on the road to Vinculo and on the coffee estate Sidonia, in which they suffered the groatest ions.’ Spanish papers, even in tue face of oMclal reports, Breatly exaggerate the successes, The suvamese As usnal the | NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, Espaflot of the ath places the insargent loss at 300, and the Havana press assumes that number to be correct. That journal adas that in Ramon was found @ hospital, with sick, doctors, druggista and nurses, Two hundred families had presented them- selves to the authorities, and the road from Bayamo to Santiago de Cuba is now opened. There was much enthusiasm among the volunteers, and after @ successful fight the members of two different batta- tions aries aaeat freailet delight. o! Among the insargents in the jartediction Of Santiago de Cuba isa young man named Arthur M. Cazamajon. He was found upon the “Espe- ranza” estate, near Guantanamo, and upon his son @ letter of marque and other papers from jes. He was, of course, shot, This document was forwarded to the tain General, and bas been published tn cermin of the Spanish papers.

He was a young man of much intelligence, speaking several lan- guages with great Nuency, but was mucn too care- less Of habit, frank and open for aconspirator. His untimely end wili be deeply regretiea by @ large circle of frieads and acquaintances in the Staves. Dates from Mansauillo state that tue expedition from that city up the Cauto river had arrived at tne landlog of that name, whence the oficer in command makes his report, He had lett 15,000 rations at Guano for use of troops there, The channel of che river had been examined with great care for the distance of twenty-five leagues, aud the treuches and over works on the banks wich lad been erected to 1n- pede Spanish vessels occupied by the troops. No Ngnting had taken place, as the insurgents ran away from bis column, Tne Voz det Comercio of Santi Espiritu of the 24 Says that between the 12thand 3ist of October 119 of the cowmands of Cabada, Diego, Dorado and Gomez had presented themselves, ‘he same paper announces that with the arrival of the Battalions de Pizarro, Hernan Cortes and Cazadores de Valma: seda, a new distribution of troops is to be made in order for the more effective prosecution of the war in that jurisdiction. The Pavellon Nacional of Clenmegon: in its issue of the 10th, announces the burning of the following estates by the tmsurgents:—La Gloria of D. J Ignacio Hernandez, Soledad of D. Antonio M. Cabrera, both in the district of Carthagena. More than the usual nuwber of encounters are reported from various localities, evincing much activity on the part of the operating forces. The mutiny of the Guias de Valmaseda near Cien- fuegos agus turns out to be of more Importance than was at first supposed. it is now stated that the authorities found 1 necessary to shoot some seventeen of them before discipling was restored. We have another exampie of the disobedience or the volunteers to the constituted authorities. In the city of Cardenas, eleven months since, £siaban Parod) and a Selor Mora were imprisoned, charged wiih treason. ‘They were tried by the court there and sentenced to a term of imprisonment. ‘The mat- ter came before the superior tribunal here, by whom their release was ordered. Upon the arrival of the order the volunteers opposed its execution and Imprisoued tie Mayor, Who was endeavoring to remonstrate with them for opposing the orders of the jegitimate authorities and all ine members of the court, whoge duty 1¢ was to carry out the benhests of the superior tribunal, A deputation of the voiun- teers arrived here on Tuesday last to represent the matter to the Captain General. He was telegraphed to in his absence and directed that the matter be held in abeyance until is return. It 1s understood the volonteers charge the court in Havana witp hav- Ing yielded to undue influences, The Governor of Matanzas, within whose command the city of Car- denas is, recently Visited that place, accompanied by @ number O/ officials and a squadron of the first bat- talion of volunteers of the former place. He was received With brilliant demonstrations and made a pariotic address. ‘Ine occasion of the visit 1s nov Menttoned, but it doubtless had some reference to the troubles there. In a recent despatch I mentioned the shooting of a number of mnovent persons in Colon by the meinbers of an organization called the *Cnapeigorris.”” Tue details have since been furnished me. ‘These people resided between Bemba and Colon, and were cited to appear at Roque. Arrived there the men were Piaced in the stocks and Kept for some time. After- wards a detachment of the ‘Chapelgorris,” under au officer named Echevarria, wno was the adminis- wator of an estate near there, took them to a point between Bemba and Quintano, on the railroad switch of the estate “Fermina,” and, without any form of trial, shot them down. Their names are as 10llows:— Jose Diaz Arguelies, Jaciato Oliyera, Leoncio Gon- gales aud two sons, Cieto Daniel, the two brothers Farinos and Ignacio Camejo. This occurred on the 20th of October. Accounts through Uuban.sources state that there are 15,000 Insurgents in the Cinco Villas, in addition to about 3,000 under Ruioil, the Pole, in the Cienaga de Zapata; that many of these are well armed, and that they are fully capable of making a successiul resistance bo ali the Lroops there or likely to be sent; that much depression is jelt on account of the faiiure of expeditions from the United States, ag more arms are greatly ueeded. It 18 further stated that Quesada bag 8,000 well armed and thoroughly organized men; hac they have never met the enemy, as for months they have been going through the severest driii; tbat the campaign on their part will soon open, and With tie UPreree confidence of beating back the forces of Valmaseda, great numbers of whom are dying off with chotera and other diseases. ‘The following potitical prisoners have been ordered set at liberty:—Don Jose Rodriguez Valdes, Don Juan Saivador Sarmiento, Don Cipriano Rivero, Don Fructuoso Napoles, Don Gavino del J'0z0, Don Clee mente Medina, Dons Maria de los Dolores Flores, Don Jose de Armas; Asiaticos, Federico y Anseling; negro Juan Cubano’ Dona Nicolasa Almansa, Dona Isabel Acosta, Don Ratael Tendero, Don Jose Her- nundez y Coxdoba, Don Jose Hernandez ¥ Aleman, Don Tomas Inza vchoa, Don Federico Ones, Don Margarito Fernandez, Don cisco Rodrguez, Don Luis Ones.

HAVANA, Novy, 18, 1869, Information has reached bere that on tne 26th of Octoner the city of Campeachy suffered trom a hor- rivle inundation, by which many families were re- duced to misery. La Razon det Pueblo, of Merida, of the 34 inst. says the mercbants in that cliy were subscribing for the benent of the suflerers. £1 Jris of Merida gives the following particulars of the dis- aster, taken from a Campeachy paper:— The mundation from which we are suffering has been lumense, Alter several days of constant rain, on Tnesday last (the 2th) @ norther was threatenea: All the evening lt was raining in torrents until tue streeis were completely full. ‘The rain iinally ceasea aud the streets became nearly dry, but avout hail- Past nine o'clock im the evening, when nearly ail the famiiies had retired, suddenly was heard the noise of the fearful torrent which waa precipitated with fury against the town, and a moment afterwards, when the people rose vo see from whence proceeded the tumuit, they found it impossibie for them to get Away, for the streets had | again changed to a river, Which swept away any un- fortunate person who attempted vo ford or rather toswim them.

A Jewelry Olerk Convicted and Sent to the State Prison for Attempting to Shoot a Lady in Sixth Avenue—Grand Larcenies, Before Gunning §8. Bedford, Jr., City Judge. The whole of the dession of the court was spemt yesterday in the trial of an indictment for an assault with intent to kil preferred against Heary Conway, who, it was alleged, attenipted to take the lie of Mrs. Mary K. Fort, at her residence, No. 66 Sixth avenue, on the night of the &th lps, The accused was in the employ of Ball, Black & Co. Mrs. Fort, the complainant, testified age on the nigh. in ques- fuon Conway called upon her, and while in her room, eaocused requested to wee min’ Fort alone. They see Mra. alone. ‘went into the nall and he demanded a chain which he hed given to her husband, from whom she obtained a divorce a year ago. She went up stairs and requesved Mr. Burnham to go to hig room, and while w king the trunk, she turned ;eund and saw Conway at the door, Aiter handing him the chain he shut the door, threw his hat on the tabie and seated himself. Tae complainant opened the door, whereupon the pris- oner inquired if that meant for him to go. She answered, “Certainly it does.” He slammed the door and said, ‘Damn your soul ! any man that dares ome in these doors, | will biow his brains out. Now Vill know whether you will ove be mine or not.” She replied, “1 néver will,” reupon he seized her by the throat with his left hand and drew @ loaded pistol out of his pocket with bis right hand and er it to her head, but she threw up is hana, which resulied in the lodgment of the bail in tne ceiling instead of her forehead. Mrs. Fort cried for help, at the same time holding the accused. Jars, Connolly, # jady in the house, responded to the call, and then Mr. Burnbam, who was in the piiolning room, reached the street through the window and wentfor an otficer, ‘The prisoner ran down the street, but was soon arrested by an officer, who brought bim back to the scene of the shooting. Phe compiaining wiiness stated that she Was acquainted with the prisoner tor over tree years, and that she refused his persistent proposals of marriage, Mr. Howe, in his cross-examinauon, asked if improper relations had not subsisied ba- tween herself and Conway, which she positively denied, Other witnesses for the prosecution corro- porated her statement of the occurrence, The delendant was placed on the stand 10 his own behalf, and swore that the complainant lived with him ag his mistress, and that bis own sister lived in the same house during this impioper intimacy, and that being jealous of Burnham le intended to fire at him, The prosecuting officer called respect- able witnesses to establish Mrs. Fort’s character for bag ‘ Mr. Howe declined to address the jury after the testimony was in. After an eloquent audress by Colonel Fellows on belialf of the people Judge Bedford delivered a clear and very impartial charge, and the jury, aiter deliberating a few moments, ren- dered a Verdict of guilty of an assault with a dan- gerous weapon With an intent to do bodily harm, and recommending that the extreme penalty of the law be enforced. Judge Bedtord (to the jury)—Gentlemen, I heartily concur in the rendition of your verdiet; and the evi- dence would have justified you if you had brought in @ vePdict of assault with intent to kill; but 1 shall heed your suggestion, that the extreme penalty of the law be meted out for an assault ana vattery with intent to do bodily harm, In addressing the prisoner his Honor sasd:—Con- way, you have been tried and convicted of a cow- ardiy deed—attempting to harm a helpless woman without the shigntest justification, Your explana- tion of the affair is rather an aggravation than a pailiation; in one word, It is unbecoming the char acter and conduct of aman. Lsbail follow the ad- vice of Luis jury, and seud you to the State Prison, at hard labor, tor the term of five years. Samuel Strause, who was jointly indicted with Magnus Levy, pieaded guilty to grand larceny, On the 12th of Septeiber ihe prisoner and his confeder- ate hired a furnished room in Varick place, and after sojourning there for a night suddenly left, taking with tuem $185 worth of clothing, Jt will be re- membered that Levy was convicted last week and gent to the State Prison for five years. The City Judge sentenced Strause to the Sing Sing Prison jor the period of four years. Thomas Stanley pleaded gutlty to an indictment charging him with stealing a horse and wagon on the 1ith instant, valued at $576, the property of Peter H. Van Wagoner. When asked what he had to say why sentence should not be passed upon him he replied that it was his first offence, that he was under the influence of liquor and desired a light punishment for the sake of his wife aud two chil- dren. Judge Bedford responded that it wae drink and bad company which caused most of the crime in our city; bul as that was his first offence he would not 1) the highest penalty the law allowed, He sent him to the State Prison for two years.
