Ces- pedes—His Escape From the Spaniards and Mission to New York—The Man- ner of President Cespedes’ Death. Colonel Carlos M. Cespedes, the eldest son of the late President of free Cuba, arrived in New ¥ork on Friday evening last from Kingston, Jamaica. Colonel Cespedes leit the shores of his native Cuba on the 6th of lust month, and after being buifeted about by wind and wave for the space of two and a-half days in an open canoe, succeeded in landing near Falmouth, Jamaica, being unabie to reach St. Ann’s Bay, the usual place of Janding from Cuban blockade runners, Colonel Cespedes was accom- panied in his perilous vovage by the licentiate Don Joaquin Castilianos, a patriot who belongs to — | the town of Bayamo, two children and six seamen. While at sea the party luckily escaped the obser- vation of Spanish gunboats and made the hazara- ous run without any mishap. As the fraii crait ‘Was supplied with julia and boniatos the adven- turous patriot and his companions escaped the pangs of hunger which many others going the same way have fell keenly enough. Colonel Cespedes reports that he left the camp of Major General Calixto Garcia Iiiguez on the 6th ot May at Jiguani, on the Cauto River. On the 3d of that month aa action had been fought between 200 Cubans, under Colonel Limbano Sanchez, and about 250 Spaniards. ‘The action was commenced by NEW YORK AKKALD, WEDNESDAY, a Spanish guerilla force of twenty-five men, who’ were speedily captured or dispersed by the Cubans, The Spaniards sent reinforcements from Jiguant to the scene of action, but these arriving too late to succor the guerilla band gave battie to the patriots. The battle lasted from two o'clock P.M. until night, when both parties withdrew without any decided advantage on either side. Hardly a week passes in which skirmishes of | more or less importance do not occur in some of the camps, The Cubans are every day acquiring Strength and increasing the number and efiiciency Of the patriotic army, tis known in the Eastern Department, from which Colonel Cespedes has just come, that the Cubans had passed the trocha Qi Camaguay, and that they are making rapid HEADWAY IN THE CINCO VILLAS district. whicn, years ago, was reported to have been completely subdued .by the paciticator Gen- eral Vortilla. The want oi arms and ammunition are still obstacles in the way of speedy success. Colonel Cespedes was with bis illustrious lather, the late President of Free Cuba, when he niet his | death. The President had been staying jor some two months after his deposition at a place called San Lorenzo, mm the Sierra Maestra, about eight leagues from Cambute, District of Santiago de Cada, on the south side of the isiand. The uepo-ed Chief Magistrate was WAITING FOR HIS PASSPORT, which he expected soon to receive from the new government that had replaced him, he having made up his mind to leave the island for a season, ‘the ex-President was in the habit of visiting a family who lived in a ranch or hut abont 100 yards from that occupied by himself and his son, the narrator. He was in the habit of teacn- ing their letters to some chilaren belonging to tne family whom he Visited, and was thus occupied wit one of the boys on his knee when the place Was surrounded by about 300 Spaniards, in three different detachments, and firing commenced at once about the ranch, where the Presi- dent was, Colonel Cespedes rushed to the assistance of his father, but the hut where he was being now entirely surrounded by | tbe enemy it became impossible for him to get there. The Spaniards opened a heavy fire, and a cousiderable number of the sol- diers pursued the Colonel. He was obliged to abandon the place, fighting his way as best he could, The Colonel then made for Brazos Excan- dido, & place about three leagues off. where he expected to get some reinforcements with which to return aud attempt the rescue of us father. It must be remeinbered that Cespedes was without escort or troops of any kind and unguarded, ex- cept by his son and their servants, Colonel Cespedes was unable to return to the scene of action until five o’clock on the morning of the next day (February 27), at which time the Spaniarcs were leaving the place. The distracted son had been abie to get together but some hal! dozen sol- diers with which TO DO BATTLE FOR HIS FATHER’S LIFE. In the meantime the Spaniards haa burned the ranches and razed their trail timbers to the round. It was only then that Colonel Cespedes learned his bereavement, for be still thought that his fatber might have es d by some other ave- nue through the woous, jut here, while recon- noitering, one of the Celonel’s men found the President’s clothing near to the burned hut where he fell. The articles found were his pants, coat, yest and hat, 60 that the body must have been taken away in an almost nude state. A portion of the clothing was burned and torn. The watch and other valuable articles o1 the deceased Le ane as wellas the portraits of bis pereaved wife an children, were gone and in possession of the Spaniards. The remainder of the clothing which escaped the flames and the (ury of the Spanish Bo.- diery Colonel Cespedes has brought with nim to New York. The wound which must have proved fatal to the heroic Cespedes was 1n his left breast and from a pistol ball. Colonel Cespedes thinks that when the President found escape to be 1mpos- sible he used MS own revolver with fatal effect against himself rather than fall into the hands of the Spaniards, Ii 1s suspected that President Ces- pedes was betrayed into the hands of tae Span- | lards by an ungrateful negro, Major General Calixto Garcia ordered Coionel Cespedes to come here on avery important mis- sion, one ofits objects being that of obtaining | reinforcements of arms and ammunition jor toe men in the field. The gallant Uolonel Bays that his countrymen will never give up the good fight in which they have been engaged jor nearly six years. Liberty or death is their motto, and nothing else Will satisfy the patriots, They Say that the longer tne war continues the better they will be able to meet its contingencies. Tne resources of the iorest are still exnaustiess, and its inaccessible lastnesses are being cultivated and made to bloom like a rose in the desert. The Spaniards can never reach these natural strong- hoids, and must in the end be defeated. In reply to @ question put to him Colonel Cespedes says that had the Spaniards years ago come to a compromise with the Cubans these would have given $100,000,000 for their indepen- dence. They would not give so much now; but the Colonel thinks that If overtures were made in Washington the Cubans might still allow a hand- Some sum—8say $60,000,000 or $70,000,000—to put an end to the war. and enable Serrano to make head- way against the Carlists, EXPLOSION ON THE MISSISSIPPI.

EB. P. Sairs, Commissioner, Wasuington:— Just arrived from the Cheyenne and Arapahoe Agency, on the north fork of the Canadian River. Hostile Cheyennes, Comanches aud Kiowas made their appearance in the vicinity of the agency on the 2d inst, and on the same day killed and Scalped William Watkins, thirty miles north of the agency. Five war parties seemed moving in the direction ot the trail the agency to Caidweil, Kan, Tat once despatched courier to Fort Sill for troops to protect the agency, which were temporarily granted. On the Morning of the dth we mustered a small party of employés to escort me through to Caldwell. Hos- tile Indians had been seen at King Fisher's Rancne proceeding north, We took all the men and stock to Lee ana Reynoid’s ranche, on Turkey Creek, and on the 2d inst, the Indians at- tacked this ranche, but were repulsed, getting only some horses. FOUR MEN MURDERED BY THE ROADSIDE. Four miles north of Parker’s ranche we found four men—Patrick Hennessey, George Fand, Thomas Cailaway and one unknown—lying in the road murdered, They had three wagons loaded with sugar and coffee for Agent Haworth, all of which was destroyed or taken away. All the men were scalped. Hennessey had been tied to his Wagon and burned, The fire was still burning. Wo gave them a hasty burial, and proceeded to the next ranche. Here we found teamsters, stages &c., concentrated. They reported the war party of about 100 having passed north and east that morning. The ranchemen had beaten them off, We took a woman and child from this place and gave the men all the ammunt- tion we conid spare. The next ranche we reached after dark. The Indians had gone into camp four miles east in Skeleton Creek. ranchemen and freigntmen to abandyn their places, which they did, and by making good use of the night we reached Caldwell yesterday.

His request for troops has been endorsed and recommendava for immediate attention by the military authorities of the War Department. The hostile Indtans referred to are estimated to number 2,000, com- prising about one-fourth of the Cheyenne, Kiowa and Arapahoe tribes. It will be rememberea that Commissioner Smith last year recommended that ‘these tribes, who had then been raiding exten- sively in Texas, should be brought into thorough subjection and compelled to give up their raiding leaders. This was done, and the trouble now proceeds from the same turbulent portion of the tribes, three-fourths of whom are peaceably lo- | cated at the Fort Sill reservation, where also Satanta, Big Tree and their other prominent chiefs still remain in compliance with their agree- ment, THE ST.

The com- manding oficer at Pembina sent one company to the scene of the massacre, and Colonel Green tele- graphed him to call on all citizens of Pembina and vicinity, who want to aid in their own protection, to come in mounted; they will then be armed and officered and made useful, deeming this course better than to loan arms and ammanition to irre- sponsible parties.

They seized 700 buffalo robes and the effects of tne trad. ers on the ground that they were trading with smuggled goods in American territory.
