Ms Passage of Convoy te Las Tunas—Severe Fighting and Less of Ofticere—Nething yet Heard of Pacilo—The Spaniards Fear a Disaster—Officinl Reports from Various Polote—Combined Operations Agaiuet Camu- ie Havana, Jan. 15, 1870, ‘Through Spanish sources we learn of the arrival at Las Tunas of the convey which recently leit the auto river for that place. The acgount 1s contained im correspondence of the Diario de la Marina, dated Guamo, the 2d inst., and is so incomplete as to leave considerable to the imagmation of the reader. Th» force accoopanying the convoy was very considerable, subdivided as follows:—The van- quard, consisting ef ono regular and ene votunteer regiment, one piece of artillery and twelve rifemen; the centre and guaid os the convoy was cowpose|! of tne Marine battalion and two pieces of artillery; the rear guard of eight riflemen, one picce of artillery, a company @f marine infantry ana the battalions of Havana and San Quintin, ali under command of Colonel Velasco. Lieutenant Colonel Enrique Bouiche, the hero of the fight at Las Tunas some montha since, was with the column, and commanded the rear guard. As on the previous passage of a convoy the insur- ments had opposed an obstinate resistance at a point called Miquiavo. A reconnoitering party was sent @ut to that place, starting at dawn on the 27%h ult. It arrived there witnout hindrance, but the advince had scarced passed the river Aguas Blancas when the Cubans opened fre. A bayonet charge followed, by which they were driven from taetr lntrenchments, ‘when they moved around to the rear of the van- guard and opened a heavy fire, causing the Spaniards weven deaths, ‘Me account in the correspondence here abruptly hake, and mentions those of the column who partl- cularly distinguished themselves, apd adds in gen- eral terms, that the enemy being dispersed along the entire line the force returned, arriving at its starting point at two P. M. Immediately on their return the colonel gave the troops an extra ration of wine, and issued an order complimenting them ™ the usual bombastic manner, It ls evident that this reconnolssance is the advance of the convoy re- ferred to in private advices fron Manzanillo, men- toned in @ previous despatch, and from which, owing to the determined opposition of the insurgents, 4 was compe lled to return. ‘The 20th was devoted to Fest. At twelve (midnight) of. that day hall of the regiment of Expaiia moved ous on the road to Las Tunas, ana jo:ned the convoy at six im the morning—evincing that it had before started from Guamo, The march commenced tmmediateiy, and continued without obstruc.ion past the pomt of thé recon noissance on the 2ith.

The inevitabie payouet charge followed in ‘which the Span.ards had one oilicer and one soldier Wounded aud one sergeant killed. One hour afier- ‘wards the train entered Las Tunas.

A considerable Bumper of encounters have taken place, but, grant ing them all the importance claimed ior them by the Spaniards, they have been nothing more than en- counters, and of no practical mportance whatever.

For the past few weeks the cases reported have been about twenty per week, and the deaths five, Since Friday afternoon eleven new cases have been reported at the Bureau of Vital Statistics in Brookiyf, none of which have proved fatal.

It will be re- membered that the defendant Veltman was a clerk in the Fourth National Exchange Sank, in which capacity he had acted for some years past. The de- fendant Leith was @ depositor in the bank, having for some time past a current account there. Cope- Jand, the third defendant, was neither an officer of the bank nor depositor therein, but he was @ friend of the two other defendants. ‘Tne latter defendant, as is charged, went to Veltman, the defendant, clerk in ube bank, and sad to ni “You are inside the bank, and I wilt Put up a job for you by which you can make some money. Here is Leith (the defendant), Wao has an account In your bank. He has ou the booxs a credit for $112 25. Now, all you need to dois to put the figure 1 before the other two ones in the entry, and thus make the entry and the credit $1,112 25,” ‘Tis, a8 is charged, Veitinan did, and subsequently Leith drew the account from wie bank, re- ceiving, a8 alleged, $1,000 more than wus due to him by the oank. This $1,000, the charge against the defendants seta forth, they diviaed, it ts furtuer charged that on a sul uen. oCca- sion there was @ credit to Leith on the bank of $825, aud that the defendant Veltman, acting traud- ulently hinself andon the fraudulent suggestion of Copeland, added @ cipher aiver the figure 6, mak- ing thereby the credit apparently due to Leith $3,250, mstead of merely $825, and this sum Leita, ag beiore. drew from the bank, defrauding the bank of $3,000, Which the delendanis, a8 ts charged, divided ainong themselves, as 1D the previous case. it 18 charged Lrat, by these fraudulent entries, the defendant Leith drew a su:n of $7,000 from the bank to which he had not been eutitied, ‘rhe charge against .be deien Jants is that of “de- fraudmg tie United btates government.” ‘This 18 because, the Fourth Natiouat Bank being a na- tonal bank under an ace of govern. meut i responsible to tue notehu.ders of such bank.
