Despatches from the Liberating Forces—Latest News of the Belligerents in the Field—The Capture and Recapture of Guisay-Battle After Battle in the Eastern Depart~ ment—Spoils from the Spaniards— The Killed and Wounded— Telegraph Wires Cut. ‘The following correspondence was received in ‘thts city yesterday from the beadquarters of the ,@uban liberating army :— " x Lapel ARMY OF EADQUARTERS BARAJAGUA, IN THE EASTERN DEPARTMENT, Oct. 29, 1872, Fifth year of our independence. Major Mariano Corres informs me that on the 14th of September he destroyed six miles of tele- graph wires between La Venta and La Caridad. On the 17th of Benvemsien askirmish took place ‘with tne enemy at ito, The enemy lost five amen. On our side no casualties. On the Zist September Major Corres cestrared rther telegraphic communication—viz., four. 8 tween Arroyo Blanco and El Descanso, forming ® portion:of the wires between Cuba and Bayamo, ‘On the 224 of September Major Lombano Sanchez ‘captured and destroyed the hamlet of Janucun, ‘capturing a number of horses and provisions, On the 2ist of September Major Ruiz commanded ‘@n expedition for the purpose of capturing the vil- of Guisa and succeeded in his enterprise, cay t considerable booty, and subsequently ol ‘tained twelve well-armed volunteers {rom the said Hearing that the Spaniards had TWBLVE OF THE INHABITANTS OF GUISA 4n captivity suspected of Teleniiath p to) the patriot forces, an attack was planned on the enemy, who treated ignominiously and left the prisoners be- pine, who were overjoyed at falling into friendly ands. Ammunition and provisions to no small extent Sell wto our possession. AT PUNCO, On the 27th September Brigadier General Manuel Culvar, Chief of the Department of Holguim, re- rta that at Punco a battalion commanded by. eutenant Colonel Pefia, aided by a company of Captain Antonio Molina’s men, caused the enemy ‘to abandon their position which they then occu- pied. The losses on our side were five men. On the 19th of September, in the same neighbor- hood, a fight took place, in which a battalion and a company were led by Lieutenant Colonel Peralta. Our losses were five men, including the coura- geous Captain Manuel Cisneros. The enemy in their retreat left many munitions of war behind them, and which are of great service to us, A NIGHT ATTACK. On the same day Lieutenant Colonel Pefia, with a battalion of twenty-cight men of the Bayamo di- Vision, attacked during the night the village ol San Manuel, killing twenty-nine men, making twenty- two prisoners, and concluded by sacking and burn- ing the place. There are no casualties to reporton the patriot side. On the 8th of October, according toa prearranged plan, Major General Modesto Diaz leit La Meona and encamped at La Cuba, for the purpose of com- mencing operations in the district of Bayamo. On the 9tn he reports that he put himself on the track ‘Of the enemy. On the 13th he came up with ‘hem, and a simal- taneous attack was made on the villages of La Sal and £] Cano. The first mentioned of these places ‘was attacked by forty men, under the command of Colonel Juan Ruiz, and the second by sixty men, ‘under Colonel Belissario. Both attacks TERMINATED SUCCESSFULLY, our loss being ten and the enemy’s fifty-five, Many houses were burned. ‘The booty we captured consisted of rifles, ammu- Bition, &c. The expedition then left Bayamo, and, pensing by El Canto, returned to Meonaen the sth, without having come further into collision ‘with the enemy. RECAPTURE OF GUISA. On the 27th of September, hearing that Guisa ‘was again held by the Spanish, Major Torres, with the First Jiguani corps, leit erry as and arrived at Pilon, in company with Colonel Saladrigas, who Jed the First battalion of the Holguin corps. On the .2a of October 200 men of the Cuba division joined the forces. These were joined by six other companies irom the vicinity. The first act was to destroy fifty miles of the Arroyo Blanco, and after that a large amount of provisions was obtained from the neighborhood o1 Guisa, the forces mean- while halting at about nine miles trom that place. Our next movement was to march at midnight on the Bayamo road, when we soon came up to Guisa. The enemy opened on us with artillery, and, think- ing our forces were small, advanced on us from be- hind their entrenchments. After a sanguinary en- gagement, which lasted thirty minutes, the enemy took to fight, leaving us an immense amount of booty and ility of their number dead. Thirty-eight of the residents helped us in an attack, ana be- haved pravely. Our losses were limited to five men. Since our success at Guisa we have cut the tele- eo wires or twelve miles between Jiguani and vontramaestre. CALINTO G. INIGUES, Chief of Military Operations in the Department of the East. THE JERSEY RAILROAD WAR. Argument of Judge Shipman—The Con- struction ef the National Railroad Cannot Be Prevented. Jn the great railroad suit at Trenton, Mr. Ship- man, on behalf of the defendants, resumed his argument yesterday morning. He first asked the Court to consider the title of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, as shown in the bill for injunc- Bion. He insisted that there was no evidence to aw * road. Thalmost every other charter that was spoken ofthe power is granted to extend and consolidate with r companies. Counsel further contended that if the line of argument was accepted as made by the other side there would not be much of the left, When the ether side built up their case on the decision in the Delaware Bay case they built on a false foundation, and when proven to ve false their case falls to the ground, ARSENIC AND MYSTERY. aaa Parente On Wednesday, December 4, August Allenquist was arraigned before Recorder Parcells, of Astoria, charged with an attempt to poison his wife and children. The case is one of peculiar interest, and either presents a crime of the most atrocious char- acter or a hallucination on the part of the woman almost unprecedented, and is surrounded by cir- cumstaatial evidence calculated to deceive the Most acute legal mind. The story told by this Woman can be best appreciated by reading her evi- dence, which we give in full. The prisoner is employed as a draughtsman on the Sclentific American, He is about thirty-four years of age, and presents anything but the ap- pearance of a Blue Beard. Mra. Allenquist is about twenty-four years of age, and might be called handsome. She has black hair and eyes, a clear complexion, and regular features. Mr, Ralph Bur- nett appeared for the prosecution, Mr. R. L. Payne for the defence. The testimony embraces most of the evidence for the prosecution, The evidence for the defence will begin to-day. Sarah Allenquist testified as follows:—Am the wife of defendant; was married March 26, 1866; have lived in Astoria about three years; recollect the day the offence took place; I awoke im the morning between three and four o'clock; I found that something had peen put into my mouth; it caused a burning sensation in my mouth, throat and whole system; I sat up in bed and took a towel and tried to clean my tongue and mouth; something bearing the appearance of white powder was on the towel; the burning sen- sation continued all next day: I consulted Dr. Watts, of New York; he told me that I looked very badly; gave me a prescription; my oldest child is six years of age; on the night the powder was ad- ministered no one was in the room but my hus- band, children and myself; I could see the mantel and bureau and children’s bedroom from by bed; My husband was up stairs in his workroom; I could see him and lay awake watching him all the time; he came down stairs, opened one of the doors (either mine or the children’s) and went into the kitchen; I saw him have a paper in his hand and heard the paper rattle; he went over to the bureau and placed the lamp upon it; Isaw him have something in his fingers; 1 could not see what; then he took something between his fingers and turned round and put something into Lilly’s mouth; he then came into my room; he placed the lamp upon the mantel and commenced scraping as he had done in the child’s room; all this time I feigned sleep; 1 heard him close the penknife ; baby began to cry; he prepared for bed, but at the same time rocked the cradle, murmuring something to himself; he then spet into bed very quetly; then from the noise of the baby I pretended to wake; baby appeared playful at first, but soon became fretful and cried as if he had cramping pains; 1 became very nervous and frightened; | awoke my husband and told him I had been nursing baby since three o’clock; he told me to give him some soothing syrup: I got to sleep about lour o’clock in the morning and slept until eight; when I awoke I felt the same burning sensation on my lips, in my throat, breast and stomach, and felt cold; as soon as my husband went away I went to my mother’s; we then went to Dr. Watts’, in New York; I felt as if I would burn up, and told my mother that I certainl could not live; Dr. Watts was not at me; went into a drug store; told the druggist that I had been poisoned; he gave me a powder and told me to take it afterI went home an! Sr Dente, of warm Water; on arriving at my sister’s (Mrs. Meagher) I took the medicine and began to vomit, the pains increasing; Dr. Dennler was sent for, us I was get- ting worse; when the Doctor came into the room he looked into the basin and then at me; my sister asked him ifhe thought I was out of danger; he said he could not tell, but would give me an anti- dote, and said it would be a test whether it was ison or nof; he gave me lime water first; I over- eard the Doctor say that he would be willing to swear that I was laboring under arsen- ical poison; on Hollow ve night my husband brought me some figs, and tak- ing one out insisted on my eating it; Trefused; he insisted; I then proposed to eat part of it if he would eat the other part; he refused, saying he had eaten all he wanted; he sald he would like the children to have them; I took the figs up stairs and hid them;h e often brought home nuts and canpies; I determined to have my husband arrested ; we talked about murdering peo- ples I told him I did not see how they could do so; e said it was nothing alter one got used to it, nothing more than killing cattle; I have not taken anything to beautify my complexion. Mrs. Allenquist vomited and the vomit was placed in a jar for aualysis. The analysis was mude by Dr, Dennler, of Hunter’s Point, who testi- fied as follows:—‘‘Most of the contents of the jar ‘was Water; I svpposed it to be the warm water thrown off the stomach of Mrs. Allenquist; there Was @ very small quantity of food mixed with it; was at the bottom of the jar; arsenic is a very heavy substance; when dropped into water it wiil drop to the bottom; a smal antity will remain in the water; I took the six eunce: made the analysis from the bottom of the jar; the greater por- tion of the arsenic must have been taken by me trom the bottom of the jar; at least one-half of the arsenic must have remained, except what might | have been in solution in the mass; the contents of the jar contained arsenic; canmot swear as to quantity; it must have been more than one grain; how much more I could not tell; I did not search as to quantity. Cross-examined by Mr. Payne—Was employed by Benjamin W. Downing to make the analysis; I don't know a chemist making an analysis jor the show that they had any status before this Court; | that they were not entitied to the retief asked jor, He further asked the Court to con- sider the position of the united New Jersey railroad companies, which would show that. they have no interest in considering the bill; if they have any at all, their rights and interests are entirely diverse, so that they cannot be united in pne bill. He insisted that these railroad compa- ales, by the allegations in this bill, are completely wiped out; that they have no claim fer protection until the expiration of the thousand years save one—one thousand years. “Why,” said the Bpeaker, “the imagination can’t reach it, It 48 @ Quixotic case, which the Court can- not take into account.” He contended that if they have any interests, these interests are ad- verse. Couusel cited numerous authorities to sus- tain these views. It is the Pennsyivania Company that ask for relief. There is no place in the bill as | such a happy consummation. 4t is framed where the united companies apply for | ®uch relief or make any such claim. He then re- ferred to the answer which his clients had made to he bill, and said that it denied the execution of the lease in its legality. The lease was void, and it did not give the Pennsylvania Compan; any control. He contended that the an- @wer, in every part of it, shows that the detendants declare and set down the invalidity of the lease, Admitting that there was a lease, he insisted that it was not recorded in accordance ‘with the requirement of the act of 1872. it has not been seriously denied on the part of the compiainants that the lease is not void. Counsel created much merriment by calling to quantity; cannot tell whether there was or was not sufticient quantity to cause death; four pounds of vomit and an ounce of arsenic would dissolve the arsenic of one part to a hundred of warm water; the warmth of the water makes a differ- ence; the juices of the stomach would have an effect; eight drachms of water will dissolve four grains of arsenic; about one thousand grains of Water will take up ten grains of arsenic; the ex- pertments I made by the copper plates demon- trates that there is a grain or more in six ounces of vomit I anaiyzed. Adjourned till ten o'clock to-day. Meeting of the Refiners’ Organization Yesterday—No Complete Ring Formed as Yet. For the past few days there have been rumors in the oil trade that arrangements would be made yesterday fora fusion of the two existing organi- zations—the Producers’ and the Refiners’—or that at any rate there would be an effort to bring about The nature of this prospective alliance and its probable results upon the oll market were detailed in Tuesday's HeRaLp, So far as the men in the trade are concerned, it ts admitted upon all sides that they need some sort of protection | from the excessive competition caused by surplus mind the story of the Irishman holding the beef for the cross-eyed butcher as an Uiustration of the position of the com- | point introduced by ae The next he counsel was in reference to the matter set forth im the bill of complaint, which, he saya, | -@oes not authorize the Court to grant the bill of Ainjunctien. Counsel referred to the rule as laid down by Chancellor Zabriskie, appitcable to this point, and also quoted other authorities, after “which he teok up the decision in the Delaware Bay case and reviewed it at great length. He said he segretted very much, and hesitated in saying so, that he did not fully agree with the learned Chie/ Justice on all the points in that decision. The point really decided by the Chief Justice was got involved in this case. The bill in that case ‘was filed entirely upon the idea that the defend- @uts were invading the rights, &c., of the com- +plainants, The Court should examine this cause «Carefully and understand it, and ft. He expiained the right a mai jad to build a w€ailroad on his own land, to run steam thereon | and travel over it. These were inalienable rights, “which could not be joonse] contended that nothing could implieation—nothing beyond what is written, , Phat is the reason he entered his protest against ‘w&he decision given and the ideas thrown out by the yCivet Justice. He asked, would this country be less liberal than at Of Great Britain in its institutions’ Tne latter Amountry has guaranteed these rights. He here re- @erred i an act of Parliament passed in thatcountry uthorizing the building ofthe Chester and Holy- ead Railroad Company, which, he said, was appli- eable to this case. After citing other authorities be stated that it was not necessary for his chents that they should show a survey route; it is enough to show that they have got charters to construct a eailroad to the city of New York. Even if they inrow out this odious eighth section then there is enough left to convey the meaning of the a la ture. If the statute books of 1871 and 18’ examined there will be found that many little railroads put together litt fers so obtained, and at last they came beto; Legmtature and asked for consolidation and ot it, @ ich are now under the Dame of the Midiand Rail- e What was in | taken away by ga | production and manufacture and the consequent constant glutting of the market. On the other hand, consumers would naturally view with dis- trust and well-founded apprehension a combina- tion which would undoubtedly place absolute power over the business in the hands of a compact and well-organized ring, which would be ever growing richer, greedier and more dangerous, And, be it remembered, petroleum is one of the few articles for which this country is the sole source of supply tor the whole world, with a few unimportant exceptions, and that there would be, therefore, no bounds to the lust of gain of the oil men except the competition with other lighting materials, Yesterday, however, no such action was taken, It had been stated that there would be a meetin of the two organizations at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, but this, of course, was out of the question, after the fire; nor was there any similar meeting down town. There was, however, the te gy monthly meeting of the board of directors of the Refiners’ Organization, which was attended by gentiemen from Philadelphia, Cleveland and Pittsburg, as well as residents of this city. oer f of these gen- tlemen are also members of the Pr ers’ League, and it was admitted by several of these that though they were not empowered to take any de- cisive action, yet they were iniormaliy instructed to canvass among the trade for such a scheme as that reported to be on foot. COLORED RESPECT TO THE SAGE’ MEMORY, At @ meeting of the members of the Prince street Presbyterian church (colored), Brooklyn, the fol- lowing preamble and resolutions were adopted in respect tothe memory of Mr. Horace Greeley: — Whereas it has pleased God in His wise providence to ke from us Horace direeley, a man who, for forty yeurs, siood as an advodate for the ‘cause of the op hits of all men, and who, by his la 1 nal “ ample, has leita record worthy to be treasured up and imitated by all good men and philanthropists throughout our country; therefore Resolved, That t brought to'teel that a he death of Horace Greeley we are great man has fallen in our midst, and that we recognize in him a friend of the oppresse:, & fearless champion of human liberty and equai rights, and whore tongue was ready to speak and his pen to plead in behalt of the enslaved of every land. Resolved, That while we bow in due reverence to this order of Divine Providence we feel sad over the event that has so suddenly overtaken us. Resolved, That we tender to the hereaved family our deep sympathy In this, their time of trial aud affliction, ‘4 the great Jom they Lave pusigiped, * 1 THE ITALIAN EMIGRANTS. ‘What the Italian Society, Mr. De Luca, the Italian Consul, and Mr. Casserly Say About Them—“What Is To Be Done with Them ?” The wholesale importation of Italians from Cala- bria and Sicily has assumed a new phase. When, two weeks ago, a large number ot these emigrants were landed in New York much sympathy wag ex- pressed and manifested for them, as it was stated they had left comfortable homes in Italy and had been defrauded by the Colonization Society. It now appears, or at least it is stated by certain members of the Italian Society, that these men never had COMFORTABLE HOMES, and, further, that they suspect, although they have no definite proof at present, that the Colonization Society is nothing less than a society organized, or at ieast connived at, by the Italian govern- ment. They say that these men are the most dangerous class in Europe; they are carbonari and banditti and wait but the shadow of provocation to manifest their character. In the face of these facts the Society intend to hold a meeting at 361 Broome street on Sunday night to protest against the transportation of these people to New York, which, they declare, will be nothing less than a penal celony for the refuse of Italy if the emigra- tion is not stopped. Their objections are these :— First, that the men are not artisans or agricultu- rists, and consequently are no ACQUISITION TO THE UNITED STATES, and, second, that their characters as citizens will be injured by allowing these lawless men to roam the city. A HERALD reporter yesterday called on Mr. Cas- serly, the gentlemanly Superintendant of Castle Garden, and had @ conversation with him regard- ing the emigrants, By him he was informed that most of the emigrants had left the Garden; but were returning, little by little, and in a short time he expects they will be all back on his hands, He declares that the more he thinks of the affair the more mystified it becomes, He stated that several of the passports were viséd “New York” on the back in lead pencil, and also that several of them were not signed by their holders. One, a passport of a man named Antonelli Pejui, was signed, “Hualfaliéte,” which fact plainly points to an unaccountable irregularity in executing the same. ‘The reporter also called on MR. FERDINAND DE LUCA, the Italian Consul, at No, 15 Bowling Green, and questioned him relative to the new arrivals. The reporter acquainted him with the fact that the Italian Society intended to hold a meeting and protest, Mr. Luca declared it was a blackmail on the government which he represented, and, fur- ther, that the men were a loss to Italy; but, as she was the most liberal government in Europe, she could not, in justice to her institutions, issue any decree to prevent emigration. “If she did,” said he, “the press of America would rant about tyran- nical despotism, as they have done in the case of Germany and her subjects,” ‘It would not mat- ter,” he continued, ‘what the character of the emigrants were. It would be the principle involved in restricting their liberties.” In speaking of the character of the emigrants the reporter stated that MR. WELLS, THE WARDEN OF WARD'S ISLAND, had taken from the persons of those sent to him a bushel basket 1ull of knives. Mr. De Luca said that such might have been the case, and that on the same number of German or Irish emigrants as many, if not more, knives might have been iound, He also stated that they (the emigrants) were not such poverty-stricken creatures as might be sup- pened, for before they can obtain a passport they ave to prove by actual demonstration that they are possessed of enough money to support them- selves for a month or so when they arrive out, Or, if they cannot do this, they have to prove that they have friends where they intend to go, and that they are going on their Inends’ invitation. ‘Allow me to state,” said Mr. De Luca, “that it would not be necessary for the Colomization Society to send agents among the people of Calabria to induce them to emigrate, for the money that I every week send to the people in that district from relatives of theirs who have emigrated here would be sufficient to induce the exodus you speak of, ITALY HAS NO EMIGRATION COMMISSION at present, for the reason that the government did not think it necessary to form a commission when the immigration only amounted to 2,000 yearly; but the increased exodus will call for such a body, and it will be created,’” All day yesterday little bands of Italians could be seen tramping up Broadway, with their traps and baggage on their backs, whither they themselves knew not, Early yesterday morning a party of them marched through Sands steeet, Brooklyn, and one of their number, who spoke French, asked the HERALD reporter what way they could go to Rockville Centre, L. I. He directed them, and it is supposed that they went there. By the Queen, which was due yesterday morning, 700 more are expected, who, in addition tothe 440 who arrived on the Italy on Monday last, will make 1,140 persons who will have to be taken care of by the Commis- sioners should they see fit to throw themselves on their charity. A special committee of the Emigration Commis- sion have addressed the following to Secretary Castux Garver, New York, Dec. 11, 1872. won Fis, Secretary of State, Washington, ¢ undersigned, a committee of the Board of Commissioners of Emigration of the State of New York, desire to call your attention to the arrival at this port of a number of destitute Italian emigrants and the stances under which these persons leit their own The iacts in the case, asset forth in the accompanying affidavits, are as follows:—From the investigation made by the Commissioners of Emigration and the Consul General of the Italian government, Mr. Ferdinand de Luca, it appears that certain shipping agents doing busi ness in Genoa, Naples and Turin made representations to these persolis that employment at good wages, largely in excess of what they could obtain in their own coun- try, was to be had in the United States immediately on their arrival, and by such means induced them to come here. joihese emigrants, to the number of 1,507, arrived as fol- lows :— November 8—Per steamship Denmark November 18—Per steamship Hollana.

To save these unfortunate Italians trom mueh suffering the Commis- sioners were compelled to receive into thelr institutions fty of the av. ot s @ ing to support until next Spring the greater part the whole number. ‘The Legislature of this State, in fixing the commutation fee or per capita tax on alien emigrants (now $1 0), an- ticipated that only a small percentage of the emigrants would become a charge on the fund, while, in the case of these passe rived per steamship Holland, nearly fifty per cent are already receiving support. The Consul General, who has shown every disposition to ald the Commissioners in tnvestigating the matter, has already communicated with his government ‘on the sub- fect, but aays that any statement jay be made by it will probably be received with suspicion by the people as prompted by @ desire to check emigration.

In addition tothe number of these des- titute emigrants already arrived the Commissioners are informed that there are now on the way to this port, under like circumstances, some five hundred more.
