The Release of the Students and the Wrath of the Volunteers. —__+——_ Attempt to Ooerce the Acting Captain General— The Herald Correspondent’s Visit to the Libe- rated Students—A Sharp Fight Between Spanish Troops and Insurgents—Reported Death of the Cuban Chief, Ignacio Agra- moate—Probable Resignation of Valma- seda and Acting Captain General Ce- ballos—Another Mob Court Mar- tial—Strike of the Cigar Makers. HAVANA, May 18, 1872, Last Saturday and Sunday rumor’s busy tongue pegan to circulate the probabilities of another @emonstration by part of the volunteers on account of the expected release of the Havana students, It was known that the decree of King Amadeus pardoning them had been published in Spain, and orders received here for its execution, but the volunteers, especially those of the Fifth battalion, who, with their colonel, have earned the unenviadle reputation of being foremost in all acts of insubordination and disorder, showed themselves to be strongly in opposition, and groups of them were continually loitering in the vicinity of the jail, Where the boy studenis have been since the recent escape of one of their number, in close confine- ment. It was said by them that they would pre- vent the release; for so much against their amour propre, and virtually a condemnation of their acts of last November, did this measure on the part of the king appear, that a committee of colonels, headed by Colonel Ramon Herrara, of the Fifth battalion, called on General Ceballos, the Segundo Cabo, now acting as Captain General during the absence of Count Valmaseda, and represented the Matter to sult themselves, protesting against carry- ing the order into effect, and winding up with the usual threat, that they could not in such a case be responsible for the men under their command, THE VOLUNTEERS SNUB: But General Ceballos is an old Spanish soldier, of character und determination, not easily balked by subterfuges or cowardly threats, and alter listening to the Colonels impatiently, coolly replied, that he Was accustomed to obey orders, and that this par- ticular one should be carried into effect at all hazards, holding the Colonels responsible with their lives in case of acts of insubordination on the part | of the men under their commands, A sharp dis- cussion arising, itis said that His Excellency the acting Captain General waxed warm, and con- signed His Excellency, the newly manufactured Count, Colonel of Volunteers, Seflor Don Ramon Herrera, to a place, considered from hearsay, many | degrees warmer in heat than the Island-of Cuba, | and, according to Gath, not far removed, The Colonels retired from the General's presence much chagrined, for once the threat of not responding for the acts of their men, failed to have the desired effect. At about half-past four on Monday morning the students were removed from the jail, situated near the entrance of the port, put on board two large cutters, one of them well armed with a can- non aud fifty marines in case of any emergency, and carried on board the frigate Saragoza, where they Btill remain. Immediately upon their coming on board the iron rings were removed from their legs, and the clothing furnished by thelr parents deli- vered them, to replace the convicts garb which they had worn five months and fourteen days, A VISIT To THE STUDENTS. Last Wednesday your correspondent visited them on board, but elicited no new facts regarding their trials. All of those with whom I conversed strongly asserted that they did not meddle with the Braves of the cemetery, nor did those that were phot; that on the memorable day in question some of them were skylarking around the cemetery, and, ke boys, playing with acart.

Polities, and prinapaly Spanish politics, in this island is a queer game, and it is exceedingly diMcult to surmise what the hour may bring forth. The recent events in Spain may also contribute to changes here; a general feeling of uncertainty and muat-cise prevails, ANOTHER MOB COURT MARTIAL. The volunteers of Matanzas have at last been afforded the opportunity vo emulate their Havana bre! 1, although this Is not the first time that the “evil spirit’? has moved them, The Aurora of that city publishes the order of the day of May 16 fora drumhead court martial to be held on the morning of the 17th, at the jail, to try eleven | | young men, named Don Emilio Gai Don Manuci Madruga, Don Bruno Dominguez, Don Simon Duarte,’ Don Camilo Sanchez, Den Rafael Cabrera, Dou Joaquin Cabrera, Don’ Rafael Soto, Don Antonio Oliva, Don Domingo, Rodriguez and Sabino Perez, accused of raising seditious cries on the 12th inst. Only vague rumors are current in this city in regard to this: affair. From what I have been able to ascertain their crime consisted in having a quiet breakfast over the liberation of the Havana students, during which probably they got a litte jolly and incautious, and the volunteers only too eagerly seized the opportunity to vent their spite, arrested the whole party, preferring the forenamed charge against them. The circumstance of having a breakfast to celebrate an event which has caused the volunteers so much chagrin Is alone a capital crime, Up to the hour of closing this let- ter the result of the court martial js noo Known in this city, but can easily be surmise’.

A WIFE'S REVENGE, The Danger of Not Being Off With the Old Love Before You Are On With the New—A Wife Comes Out from Europe to Prosecute Her Husband for Bigamy. A very intelligent looking German, named Otto Geisler, about thirty-three years of age, was arraigned before Jastice Scott, at Essex Market Court, yesterday, charged with bigamy. About two years and a half ago Mr. Geisler arrived in this country from Berlin. Shortly after he came | here ‘he became acquair with a youn, | girl named Maria Schoe: whose mothe house in Delancey street, February, 1871, he was married to the lady by Mr. Gottfried Scheibel, of the Reformed church, 76 Essex street.

At the date of my last Count Valma Moron and Jucaro, in the Central Department, but has since returned to the Cauto. He recently issued A proclamation declaring the Cinco Villas to have returned to its normal state, and the insurrection entirely suppressed in that district; that there existed a less amount of brigandage and maraud- ing than before the insurrection, and that. the civil ert or rural police force would be sufficient to cep down all other disturbances, This prociama- tion on the part of the Count cannot be considered as exactly a fair statement, but rather a “feeler” of ue opinion, and as such has fallen flat in the of the rumor that Modesto Diaz, the well known insurgent general, had crossed the trocha or military cordon, The government, not content with the doubtful re Pare. of the death of Eduardo amonte, have now iiled off—at least on paper—the famous chiof lg nacio Agrainonte, cousin of former.

The same Spanish reports further say that the insurgents; loxs must have been considerable, from the fact o! their own consisting of one killed, five wounded se- riously and four slightly, It ts hye a worth while to cominent upon the foregoing ridiculous report, Which is a fair example of such as reported by the Havana press, The report of the chief of staff in the Central De- Partment states that the Spanish troops had thor- Oughly searched the district, had closely followed Up and often dispersed Vicente Garcia’s band, and ives as the general result of operations the follow- ng losses to the insurgents:—Twenty-six Killed, ainong them a Frenchman named Carlos Perez, Manufacturer of arms, and the Prefect of Cascorro, Celestine Zayas, and several negrees, A number of Muskets and supply of powder was also taken from fhe insurgents, No reports of engagements or war- marion ay Flaps here from the Eastern De- . ¢ Insurrec wat de e Appears to be tn statu wo ghrp cereals % + VALMABEDA'S RESIGNATION, acount Valued ts expected to leave this Jstand | ae teed asserted by the knowing ones ae hus forwarded is "resignation. to Spain | that Country ete, ANd WI probably embark for | net country froin Santiago de Cuba without return- siieiee know n Spanish gene- ely to be uccesso not anything definite as to who tate ae tee | | scene.

The de- fendant admitted both marriages, but said that he and his first wife parted after many years of strife and contentions, with the mutual understanding that neither should ever trouble the other again.

A By the last mail there was received the following 1.formation with regard to the changes in the crew who are igs the London boat against the Atalanta at the iprtheoming race, As first cicsen . “4 Bvan. bow; F, §, the four were:—George ..,..., VF. B Guiston, No. 2; Albert de Lande Long, No. 3; William Stow. stroke. A full description of these gentlemen, with their rowing histories, has already appeared in our columns, On the 8th inst. the committee decided upon anb- stituting Mr. John B. Close for Mr. George Ryan, as | bow; and upon communicating with the latter gen- tleman he at omece agreed to make way for his junior. Mr, Close rowed No. 6 in the Cambridge crew, the winner in this year’s University race, and No. 2in the last year’s crew, when they were also the conquerors, beating the Oxford crew aftera most determined struggle. He rowed stroke in his college boat club (First Trinity), and won the Fours and Hights last year. He won the Cambridge Uni- versity pairs in '70, with G, L. Rivers, and in ’71 with his brother, James B, Close. He also won the University Sculls, called the Colquhoun” Sculls, in 1869, and the Diamond Sculls in '70, beating Long and other well-known amateurs belonging to the London Rowing Club, He and his brother, James B. Close, rowed for the pairs called he Goblets,’ at Henley, and for the palrs at Maidenhead, and were beaten upon both occasions by Albert de Lande Long and FP, 8. Gul- ston. Mr. John B, Close is about twenty-five years of age, five feet nine and a half inches in height, and weighs about one hundred and sixty-two pounds, He has passed his degree and left Cambridge. He was taught rowing by one of the London Rowing Club, and has been @ member of that club between two and three years. His style 1s exactly the same as that of the gentleman whom he succeeds, This change in the crewis done solely to obtain the strongest four,and in no way reflects upon Mr, George Ryan. It is considered by some members of the committee that Mr. Ryan is, what {ts called in rowing language, “getting stale,” and might not be able to pull such a long distance as four and a quar- ter miles. He has wona great number of races, and retires to make way for aman who, consider- ing the time he has been rowing, hus as brilliant a racing pedigree as himself, The London Rowing Club crew will bee be: 70% Mr. John B. Close, bow. Mr. F. 8. Guiston, No, 2. Mr. A, De Lunde Long, No. Mr. Wm, Stout, stroke.. This, contrasted with the weig! tas, gives great advantage to the weight tells in a race without cox: In speaking of the American ¢ say, “They swing weil together and ap in excellent time, but there is no shove from the stretchers, the basis of operations, consequently there is no hole made behind the oar at the first part of the stroke. They also dwell v much at the finish of their rush forward, instead o} pending the same amount of time in the whole recovery, Dr. Withers appears to feather rather under water, and bow, Mr. Edward Smith, has an extra- ordinary movement of the right arm, working the elbow out in the recovery that gives anything but @ finished look to his performance.” The Londoners, however, are not inclined to undervalue the quali- ties of the Atalantas, as they have shown by their anxiety in substituting Mr. Close for avery good man, and none of them are confident that their crew cannot be beaten. The American four have caused quite a sensation upon the Thames, and the race is looked forward to with great anxiety by all the clubs on the river, By last advices our boys were in excellent health, and have just as much to say about “the style of the Londoners rowing” as the latter have about the Atalantas. Dr. Withers is very quiet, and does not indulge in mauy remarks about his oppo- nents, but says “if the London men can be beaten his crew are the boys who can do it.” THE NATIONAL AMATEUR REGATTA.

Ha. refused to deed his property to Vreeland; his wordg were, “I will have nothing todo with you; I wilt deed direct to the city; I wish to have all the money, that has been appropriated by the city, and I don't intend that anybody shall make any money out of me; he stated to me that he was the authorized agent of the city. Patrick Ormsby was next examined, veyed his property directly to the city. Court—Is this one of the cases in which Mr. Platt swore he divided with Mr. Vreeland ? Attorney General—Yes, sir, The contract is be- tween Platt and the witness, and the deed is direct to the city. The contract is for $3,100 and th¢ deed is for $3,200, Examination continued—Platt and Vreeland told me the city would pay only $3,100; they brought the money to iy house and I would not take it; T offered to leave it to arbitration, and they would not agree; they said that commissioners would be appointed, perhaps from thé far end of the State, that did not know the value of the property, and that Iwould have to take what they would allow me. George Seymour testified that he sold but the deed was made out to Vreeland, for $1,400 and got only $1,300, ¢ Frederick Groschell was next placed on the stand, Ife had conversations with Platt, Arthur,! Bumsted and Vreciand about the sale of his props erty, for which he’ asked $5,000; he told them hé would not sell to any party except the city; Vree~ land offered ;im the money and said if he did not take it the property would be coudemned by the, city and he would not get that amount; barnes | afterwards increased his demand to $5,200; Arthur told him he could have $5,500 if he allowed Platt $100 commission; witness sold his property for’ $5,500 and received $5,450 from Platt. John C. McRae testified that he sold property Vreeland for a consideration of $12,500; Platt firs y spoke to him about it; he was introduced to Vree- land at Platt’s oftice; two anda half per cent was deducted from the purchase money for Platt; he agreed to give this commission; Vrecland stated’ that he (Vreeland) paid the commission which wast deducted to oe but witness knew nothing about it. } y Hotopf next took the stand—He sold props erty to Garret V nd for & consideration of $2,600; tie deed from Vreeland to the city of this roperty 3 for $5,480, which included Callen- rty, also sold to Vreeland for $2,600% witness mct Bumstcd at the oilice of the Board of Public Works, and Bumsted told him he could cons clude the sale there, but witness refused; he de- sired to sell direct to the city, as he did not know Vreeland at all. i Mr. Hornblower, City Treasurer, was recalled an examined in relerence to conversations he hat with Vreeland in reference to the part taken by. the latter in the purchase of property for the new reservo: 1 Counsel for the State then presented the notices served on Busted and Vreeland, caliing on them to produce their checks from the 1st of May, 1871, to Ist of May, 1872, which notice defendants re- fused to obey. é ‘The Court directed a note to be made that the demand was made in open Conrt, aud that the des fendants made no response. (Counsel for defencr here dpoxed gravely at each other and at their cients.) ~~ . Louis Lindemeyer testified that he sold property: to Vreeland for a consideration of $4,500; the deed from Vreeland to the city was for $7,000; witnesd tried to sell the property to the city, and he went td Jersey City in the belief that the dced was made out tothe city; he found out, however, that 16 wus made out to Vreeland; it was Mr. Hornblower, City ‘treasurer, who told him he should receiv 4,500, and by whom he was told to go to Mr. Dixon’s office; Arthur, who was acting for Platt, told witness that ifhe did not go to Platt's ofic and conclude the sale the property would be con demned and he would get less money. Philip Lindemeyer was next examined, He went with Mrs, Herbert, who had some property, to Platt’s ofiice, and Platt told them, when they hesi- 1, that the property would be condemned jays, and that they would get less money in that case; Mrs, Herbert then sold the property. Considerable merriment was created in the cross- examination by Mr. Dixon, at the expense of counsel himself, who had been legally engaged betwe reeland and those who sold the property for ‘eservoir. The witness, whose pro- Hunciation of the English language was rather imperfect, but who has a broad, good-humored face, adorned by a pair of spectacies and a luxuriant mustaciie aud goatee, replied with an i? of inno. cence to the questions 0 counsel, wlio did not feel quite comfortable when told, “Yaw, I vent to de pank mit de sheck what you signed, und de gashier dold me ven he looked at it, ‘No, I vill not bay dat sheck.’’? ‘The laughter which this answer evoked was increased by the reply to the next question, “But did you not get another check from me when you came back?” “Yaw, but he would no bay dat, too. Igot mine money ven I pring Mr. Reelan’s (Vrecland’s) sheck.”” ‘The Attorney General called attention to @ deed on which the endorsement had been erased, William Augustin testified that he sold property to Mr. Vreeland for $1,560 (which Vreeland sold ta the city for $1,680). He first spoke to Mr. Goetze, Police Commissioner, about it. Thomas brandegan, whose business it is to copy transfers of real estate in the County Clerk’s oftice and have them published in the local papers, was examined. He testified as follows:— The County Clerk (Mr. Kennedy) came to me in reference to the publication of transfers from certain parties to Mr. Vreciland and asked me why I had a@ certain transfer published, especially as he had marked on the outside that it was not for publication; Mr. Vreeland was with me the same morning in reference to it, before Mr, Kennedy game tome; I paid no attention to the mark on the deed, as it was written in pencil; Kennedy told me that any deeds of property to Garret Vreeland coming in at that time were not to be published; I did not publish the deeds of the reservoir property afterwards, but the deeds from Mr, Vreeland to the, city I published, Louis Bohrman testified that he sold property to Vreeland for a consideration of $3,150, and that he ald $335 28 of this amount to Police Coiminissioner joetze, Who gave him a receipt therefor in these terms, “for services rendered in effecting the sala of sald property.” He received the first instalment of $25 from Go This property was sold by Vreeland to the city for $3,290, - Mr. Sandford, cashier of the First National Bank, testiiled that on the 20th of last June Mr. Vreeland deposited a check for $12,000, which the bank sent for collection on the following day to the Second National Kank, though he was not positive it was the same check; on the 27th of June Vreeland de- pos a check for $45,000, and on the following day, according to the records, they sent two checks, one for $26,000 and one for $20,000, to the Second National Bank to be collected, The examination of this witness was not con+ cluded when the Court adjourned, THE ALSAOIANS AND LORRAINES. * Preparations He com to Platt, He sold for a Demonstration of Loyalty. A meeting of Alsacians and Lorraines resident in this city was held at 130 Forsyth street last evening for the purpose of taking action to make arrange- ments for a mass meeting of the natives of Alsace and Lorraine resident in this city, who have the intention to remain loyal to the French re« public. The object of the mass meeting, which probably will be held at the Cooper Institute, is. to give the resident Alsacians and Lorraines an’ opportunity for manifesting their disgust at the separation of their native provinces from France and their annexation to Germany and to demon- strate their loyalty to the French republic. A come mittee was formed to take in hand the arrange- ments, which was com das follows :—M. Koons- gen, President; Stacker, Vice Presi- lent; M, Reyer, Secretary; ortwengler, Meckert, Ockert, Huerstel, Prendel, Felix, Fuhrer, May, Becker. The mass meeting will be followed by an enrollment in a body of the resident Alsacians and Lorraines at the French General Consulate’s, The number resident in this city has been consid- » Pima and may be estimated at no less than about four thousand, A PROBABLY FATAL ASSAULT, Some friends of Mra.
