E(GMAF m VOL. IX. NO. 120. PHILADELPHIA, AVEDNESDAY, MAY 19, 1860. DOUBLE SHEET THREE CENTS. .1 lojILdi FIRST EDITION CUB A.. The Patriots under Quesada Seven Thousand Strong-Fight at Sabana Nucva Defeat of the Spaniards. An Entire Battalion of Colored Spanish Volunteers Kill Their Officers and Go Over to the Cubans. Very interesting nnd important correspondence linn been received from Havana, dated May Vi. The ItiHiirKt'nln Kuril Sun Miguel. On the Friday tiijrht preeediu);, a Spanish war ftenmer, the Hazaii, entered port, (ileau iiig tlicir news from lier, the Havana journals liave broken the lee since, and liavc given a brief synopsis of cooked and Reasoned news that amounts to about as follows: The insurgents on the fith burnt down the balance of the town of San Miguel, twelve miles from Nuevitus, left from the conflagration lighted there by the Spaniards a few months ago. General Lctona Is ou the railroiid, at somo distance from Nucvitas, and General Lesca must be in Puerto Principe with his column. On the way ho had a fight with the insurgents, nine miles from that city, with a terrible result for them, al though tlic column Buffered the loss of a lieutenant-colonel (Macias), a captain, and six men killed, and thirty men wounded. A witness of the engagement places the insurgeut loss at 2000 men. The news is not oflicial. But little truth is contained in the report. Although the Spanish authorities have labored as assiduously after as before the arrival of the Bazan to prevent the facts about the engagement to leak out, I have succeeded in obtaining good and positive infor mation that shows that the result of the fight was far more terrible to the Spauiards than to the insurgents; that victory perched upon the standard of the Cuban patriots, and the ll:ig of Castile and Leon suffered its worst defeat since the revolution began at Yara. Particulars run thus: Fislit Ilrlwren the Patriot nnd Spnninrdu Colored Volunteers iihmm over to the lnsiir gents. Generals Quesada and Castillo gathered together over 4000 of their best troops at a point beyond Las Mlnas and entrenched themselves, and then watched the movements of the (Spaniards keenly, with the hope of discovering a weak spot whereat to attack them. A large body of Spanish soldiers, led, as far as 1 can learn, by General Lctona as well as by General Lesca, assaulted the insurgent positions on the 8d, and, despite a most stubborn resistance, would have curried them had not the Marquis of Santa Lucia, who had been some miles off, hurried to the assistance of Generals Quesada and Castillo, and, unexpectedly to the Spaniards, at tacked them on one of their Hunks. These insurgent reinforcements are said to have exceeded 3000 men, most of them badly armed, very many having only inaelieten and cane knives In their hands. Hut they fought bravely, with the determination to win, and pressing boldly, unflinchingly upon the Spaniards, soon changed the aspect of the engagement. The snperior drill, discipline, ahd armament of the Spa nish troons would perhaps, however, have still given them the victory, had not the four-fifths, or about 400 men, of one of the wings of Yoller's battalion of Havana colored volunteers at a critical moment raised the shout of " Vira la lihertadt viva Vubalibrel" anil, killing most of their oilleers and companions that tried to prevent them, passed over to the insurgents, and aided them most effectu ally in their struggle. The Spanish troops had to succumb before this desertion of the colored men and give up the day as lost. The Catalan Volunteers covered the retreat, and though they fought bravely, yet their military Inexperience and partial ignorance of drill and tactics told against them, and they were more than once thrown into confusion, and thereby lost heavily in killed and wounded, (mite a number of the wounded brought here are Catalans. Four F.nneuienl. T must here say that, according to a gentleman, o Havana, whom 1 have generally found well-posted there have been four recent engagements fought between Nuevitas and Puerto Principe. The first was on the 30th of April at Altagraeiu, between the column of General Lesca and a body, of Insurgent 4 under General Castillo; the second on May 1, on Hayatabo Hill, between the regiment of Colonel Go'yeneche and General Castillo's rear guard. In ttn-Ke actions the Spaniards had the advantage, though the losses of either side In both of, them did not exceed one hundred and twenty men. ' The third engagement was that of General Lesca, mentioned alHive, in which, even according to the meagre but vainglorious accounts of the Spaniards, their troops lost the field and abandoned a part of their wounded to the insurgents. Finally, the fourth engagement was fought ou the 15th between the troops of Gene rals Lctona and Quesada, and it was here that the Marquis of Santa Lucia came up as a savior of the day to the insurgents; that the Spanish colored troops passed over to their opponents, ami In conse quence the Spaniards were so badly thrashed. Cuban Independence Not Annexation. There Is not a word of truth in the Key West tele pram published In all the American papers, that the Cuban revolutionists had held a convention at , St banlcu, presided over by Captain-General Cespedes, at which resolutions were passed in favor of inde pendence and annexation to the United States. Tho Cubans Justly complain that reports so Injurious to the republican cause in Cuba should appear In the journals of republican America. Fully nine-tenths of the Cubans are In favor of Cuban independence, but It is even questionable whether a majority of this nine-tenths desire annexation, and printed reports that the Cuban leaders have decided In favor of this, even though false, give to the Spaniards a strong weapon which they are Tuot slow to use to the detri ment of the Cuban cuuse. Further Detullsof the Detent of the Spaniards nt NuevituN. Havana. May 10 Further news from Nuevitas fully confirms the particulars of the defeat of the Spuniards on the 3d. The engagement occurred at Sabana Kueva, and resulted eveu worse for tho Spanish troops than reported in my letter of yester day. They lost nearly all of their provision wagons, baggage train, etc., and part of their artillery. General Lesca commanded them. The Marquis of Santa Lucia, with his very timely reinforcements, and the Spanish colored olunteers. that changed sides, decided the contest. The insurgents from rut tn luut iinri in tim nct.ion over seven thousand men, the Spaniards about three thousand live hun dred. The tight laste.l nearly seven hours. lhe Catalans suffered heavily, and lost over two hun dred men. Colonel Vollur, of the Spanish Colored Volunteers, is now reported to be among tho killed. The cngugement of the 6th was an unimportant sklimlsh between a part of the troops or General Lelona, and a detachment from General Castillo's command. An engagement of importance is likely to occur at uny moment between General Lctona a armv and that of General Quesada, in the i nvlron of Las Minus. The insurgent successes in the district of Puerto Principe have rendered tho Cubans of Huvana brimful of Jov, and many are very iirprudently giving rather public expression to it, which may yet cuuse an uitiiek upon them by the vexed volunteers, and so this city bo again dis graced by serious riots and wilful acts of murder and bloodshed. The Central Pacific Railroad Company has dis charged about two thousand men already. Most of them return to California, but many go to the White Pine mines. The Commissioners of Florida and Alabama, appointed to consult about the proposed annexation f West Florida to Alabama, are now in session at Montgomery. The portraits of Generals Lee and Stonewall Jackson, that formerly hung In the Council ChumUir at Charleston, South Carolina, have leen removed and replaced by portraits of Gcct'ui UnUil Mild buwuutu. THE LIZZIE MAJOR. Statement of One of the Kldhnpprd Parties of the Hpaninh Outrture. Joseph Amiable, one of the persons taken from the American schooner Lizzie Major by the commander of the Spanish frigate Fernando le Catollca, has made the following sworn statement before Com missioner Shields, and It has been sent to the Secre tary of State : Joseph Annable, being duly sworn, deposes and says I am a citl.enof the United States of America; my place of residence and business Is Boston, Mas sachusetts; I took passage from Havana to New Or leans on the 1st of March last, In company with Ramon V. Klvas, who was under my care, on board the schooner IJ.zle Major. Captain A. W. Giles, with the required passports, furnished by the Spanish authorities, and, as the vessel did not charter at Havana, we had to go to Caibarlen, and sailed from that port on the 4th of March, isau, and arrived at Caibarlen on the 10th of March, and on the Uth we presented ourselves to the authorities there, who informed us that wo needed no other requisites, und could remain there till the vessel had received her cargo. The vessel linished receiving her cargo, uhich trru tniiliwu, on the 20th of March, when she sailed for Cay Francis, one of the ports of Caibarlen, eighteen miles distant, nnd on the STth of March we sailed for New Orleans at 6 A. M. About 9 o'clock a steam frigate, Fernando lo Cattoliea, gave us chuse, and came up with us at 1 o'clock, when she inti mated to us, by the firing of a musket, to haul-to. which order our captain Immediately compiled with. Then two omcers, accompanied by several murines, boarded the schooner, and, after searching the papers and demanding our passports, found that our names were not on the manifest, although they were on the manifest from Havana; this being, as the olllcer from the frigate stated, a sufficient cause for our arrest. There was considerable time spent In going between the two vessels. I was then con veyed on board of the frigate. The commander of the frigate then asked for the boy who was under my charge, and the oillcer answering him stated that as the boy was only nineteen years of age he had left him on boar I of the schooner, to pursue his voyage. Tho commander then sent for the boy, stating that, as he was under my charge, he must fare the same us I must fare. Wo then pre sented our passports to the commander of the fri gate, and he told us that we should make a state ment, which we complied with. Immediately after wards our baggage was searched, and at 7 o'clock on the evening of the same day we arrived at Cay Francs. We were then conveyed to Caibarlen, in a boat, accompanied bv an olllcer and several marines, arriving there at 10 o'clock A. M., on the 'sth. We were Immediately given up to the authorities of the placr, who certified to the olllcer who accompanied us that we had already presented ourselves to them, with our passports. We were thon carried to the barracks, and at about 6 o'clock on the same morn ing we were conveyed to the jail of the Hemedios. I immediately wrote a letter to Isaac Stone, Ksq., Con sular Agent at Caibarlen, stating to him the fact of our arrest, and of my having a letter In my posses sion for him from the captain of the schooner. He immediately called at the jail and requested me to send him a written statement of what had passed, so that he could send it to the Consul-General of Ha vana; which statement I sent to him on the 30th of the month. On the lsth of April we were released from the Jail. 1 immediately presented myself to Mr. Stone, who directed me to the captain of tho port for my passport and baggage, which had been detained there during our confinement. This olllcer Informed me that our passport had been sent to Havana, and that he could give us a ccrtlilcate for the Governor of Itemedlos to give us another passport, which re quest the Governor complied with Immediately. On the 24th of April we embarked for New York on the barque Lizzie. This I did by request of the consul, Mr. Stone. He also gave me a note requesting me to make this statement to the United States Distiict At torney. Jambs A. Annaule. KANSAS SETTLERS. The commission appointed by the Governor of Kausus to audit the claims of settlers for losses sus tained by Indian depredations on the Western fron tier, in the years 1807 and lstJS. have made their re port. Tho whole number of claims allowed up to this time Is 117, amounting to f4H,4:U-04. Tho claim ants are uivmed among tne following counties: Saline, Kllsworth, Wallace, Cloud, Mitchell, Lincoln, Mcpherson, Ottawa, and Kiley. There are still a large number of claims held by citizens of Marion and Hutler counties, and the commission will there fore meet again at some future time, for the purpose of considering these. The claims are principally lor the losses from robbery and destruction of house hold effects by the Indians, the capture of stock, burning of hay, destruction of farming implements, etc. Under the head of "Remarks," are such entries as me following: 'Husband killed, property stolen and destroyed.

The Commissioners Bay: "The wanton cruelties and barbarities of those who come among the settlers under thegulseof friend ship call loudly for measures to prevent any and ail Indian trmes irom coming wiiuin mo ooruers. as long as they are allowed to roam at will over those portions of our State legitimately opened for settle ment, there can be no permanent feeling of security on our frontier the settlements must necessary be slow and hazadrous, and, as now, the settlers will not feel It safe to go for a bucket of water without currying arms for self defense." RE F OHM. t'hanwH In the Treasury Department. The Washington correspondent of the Boston Jour nal savs : Secretary Boutwell has perfected his arrangements for a complete reconstruction of tho bond, bank note, and currency printing of the Treasury Depart ment. Heretofore the paper has been prepared, the printing has been executed, and the seal has leeu affixed all In one department of the Treasury, all'orcl lng facilities for defrauding the Government by a collusion of employes. Now there is a wide division of labor, affording an opportunity for checks by the department on every thing that is done. The paper is to be made ut a mill near Philadelphia, under 4 lie supervision of an olllcer of the Treasury, und will bear the Government water-murk, to counterfeit which will be felony. The paper will also contain yel low gloss silk, which when photographed will appear black. An express company will take the paper to New York, giving duplicate receipts for it, one of which will be given to the paper-maker aud the other sent to the department here. At New York the green-colored portions of tho notes will be printed by a private company, who will be held re sponsible for the return to Washington of every sheet of paper received, either printed or spoiled. When received Here the other portions oi me note will be printed, und the perfect notes, with the spoiled sheets, will bo handed over to another de partment of tho Treasury to receive the impress of tho seal, which impurts the value. Government will thus bo enabled to trace every sheet of the paper manufactured for Its use, and Secretary Jloutwell perfects this admirable plan by requiring tho printing and delivery to tho Treasurer every month of all paper manufactured for this printing during that month. There hud been no settlement of the print ing accounts for years until Secretary Boutwell or dered them all to be balanced. It Is not probable that this new plan of printing will be more econo mical thun was the old one, but the additional ex pense will bo small and tho security gained in valuable. KevTly .lohuNon, The statement of the Paris correspondent of the Iondon Teleintph, communicated per cable yester day, to the eirect that Keverdy Johnson had been in duced to make certain declarations to tho British Government, for the purpose ot being deliberately sacrificed bv trie Grant administration, shows how w iling certain parties upon the other side of the water are to soften as much as possiblo Ueverdy's full. Ills ambassadorial path has not been so strewn with thorns as to Justify any particular sympathy, m her is his recall to be regretted on his account, Lit ce It is Just possible that the most skilful of gas tronomes might overtax his capacities. Keverdy commenced his career with a dinner, and ac ording to last account he will end as he began.

CHIME IX SEW YORK. Murder ol a City Manual The Assnxnins at Large. Coroner Schlrmer was engaged yesterday In mak ing an Investigation into the circumstances sur rounding the death of Mr. Alexander Lippman, a City Marshal, which occurred on Monday evening at his residence, No. 417 Sixth street, und which Is said to have resulted from violence received at the hands of some person or persons unknown as yet, while he was in the discharge of his otllcial duties. On the 28th nit. Judge Gale issued a dispossess warrant for the ejectment of a man named Freund from the premises No. 180 Orchard street, and this warrant was entrusted to Marshal Lippman for ex ecution. The warrant was properly served, and the parties were ejected. Mr. Lippman thereupon left the premises, but on returning soon after he found some persons engaged in a Uerce quarrel. He inter fered to quell the disturbance, and while doing so he was struck upon the head with a billet of wood, said to have been in the hands of a man named Jntty, and Lippman was knocked down on the pavement. He was taken to his home and attended by Drs. Krackowitzer aud Kammerer, under whoso cure he remained during his illness. He seemed to be Improving, and was able to be about until the 1st instant, when he expe rienced a relapse, and continued to fail until death ensued, at about 8 o'clock on Monday evening. On being Informed of the assault. Captain Mount, of the Seventeenth precinct, arrested Freund, who had been ejected by Mr. Lippman, nnd a number of others, who, it was alleged, had been engaged in the affray, and they were held for examination. Jutty, who, it was said, had struck the fatal blow, has nut yet been captured. Coroner Schlrmer was notified of the death of Llp) mun, and proceeded to his late residence and em panelled a jury. The body was formally viewed. Dr. Joseph Cushman and the physicians who had attended the deceased during his illness will make a post mortem examination of the remains, to ascer tain definitely the cause of death, which is supposed to have been either compression or inflammation of the brain. The inquest will be held on Thursday morning, at the Coroner's office. Mr. Lippman was a native of Germany, 44 years of age, and leaves a widow and one child. Fortunately these are well provided for, as the deceased Is said to have to have been worth 150.000. Tho violent death of Mr. Lipp man has created considerable excitement among a host of relatlvus and friends. The deceased luut the reputation of a fearless yet prudent olllcer. -V. Y. Time. An Infuriated Coroner Terrible AhmiiiiU on a Man. Coroner Vogt, of Hudson City, was arrested on Monthly night, charged with a murderous assault on William Berger, the keeper of a liquor store on Pali sade avenue. The affray arose out of an altercation, during which the Coroner broke a couple of ale glasses on the pate of Berger, following that up by rnshlng behind the bar and attempting four times to discharge the contents of a four-shooter at Berger. Falling in this, the Coroner is charged with beating his victim about the head and face with the butt end of the revolver, inflicting several severe cuts, two o which are very deep. Several of the Coroner's friends were also present, und the injured man says they assisted in the assault, kicking him about like a football while he was lying bleeding ou ine ground. Otllcer Ludwlg fortunately arrived in time to prevent what would probably have been a murder, and ar rested Vogt. Yesterday morning the lutter was re moved to the County Jail, as Berger Is too danger ously Injured to leave his bed. Dr. Freeman sent a certificate to Itecorder Aldridge to the effect that the result of Berger's removal, In his existing condition, might prove fatal. K0MEH0. What the .Mexicnu MiulNler Says of Political :IoveuiculH. The following Is an extract from a private letter received in New York from Minister ltomcro: Mkxk'O, Wednesday, April 28, 18(19 As I know you would like to hear from Mexico, I give you tho following news: Political nll'airs here continue to improve, although Blowly. We are now on tho evo of our elections to Congress, aud tho canvass Is nearly as lively us it is in the United States ou simi lar occasions. There is, however, no well-founded fear of uny public disturbance, whatever may be tho result of the elections. There is not sutiicient confidence felt yet on the part of the business class of the community In the consolidation of our Institutions aud the maintenance of public peace to encourage them to Invest their money in enterprises of public, good. The result is, of course, that business is paralvzed, and that the material development of the country does not go on as rapidly as we desired. Otherwise tho condition of things is satisfactory. It hus been rumored here that a revolution took place near Acupulco, under General Alvarez. This, I am glad to hear, is not correct. Most truly vours, M. Komeko. Mr. henry Clews, New York city, N. Y.

Court of Quarter Sewdonn AIINon, P.J. The trial of William and Margaret Wilson upon the charge of larceny consumed this morning's session. From the testimony it aicars that on Saturday morning, the fith Instant, Detective Miller observed the prisoners and a numlM-r of companions visiting various stores in Second street, and suspecting their purpose, kept, a close watch upon them. In the course of their pilfering peregrinations they went to a tea store, and the wily detective saw packages secretly passed between the prisoners, and upon their departure arrested them at Seventh and Arch streets, the party having in the meantime paid their respects to several tailor shops. At the Central Sta tion iney were searctieu, unit various packages of tea and chocolate were found upon them, which were found to have been stolen from the tea store. Also upon the woman was found a lift skirt, such as Is usually worn by professional shoplifters. This evidence was thought to be con clusive, but the people who were thus caught rov ing about the city In squads, and perpetrating their therts nt every opportunity, hud secured counsel well experienced In such cases, whose Ingenuity, failing to see how both could be rescued, devised means for tho escape of one, and worked at it with a will, lie produced evidence to prove that the man's name was MeConnell, nnd that In ISM he and the woman were married, and from this he argued that the theft charged in this case being committed under tho eye of the husband, and by his aid and direction, tho law presnmed it. to have been by his command, nnd dis charged her from the penalty usually attaching to the offense. At tho close or our report tnis point wus being discussed. Court of Common Pl-nn Judgen Ludlow, Peircp. nnd llrewler. This morning the election contests were brought Into Court by Will lam B. Mann, Esq., who com plained that at the Investigation before the Exam iners one John McGuoken, a witness produced by the respondents, and a Democratic Inspector of the Seventh division of the Seventeenth ward, had, upon cross-exumlnatlon, refused to answer a question put hlni respecting transactions at the November elec tion. No objection was made to tho question by counsel, but the witness had taken upon himself to Judge of its competency, and declined to reply, upon the ground, not that an answer would criminate him, but that he was snpoenaed to testify with respect to the October elections, which were alone the subjects of these contests, and there fore the gentleman, Mr. Mann, had put a question which hud no reference to tho case. This Mr. Mann thought highly improper on tho part of the witness, and therefore asked the Court to direct him to answer, unless objection was made by counsel, or the answer would tend to criminate htm. The Court advised McGucken according to thla re quest, and so the matter rests. The Hew York Money Mar ket. The New York Ilerahl says : "There was a decided recovery In tho tone of the markets this morning, when It became apparent that tho failure of yesterday involved no additional losses. A great deal of apprehension was manifested for the standing of several houses in Exchange place, who were known to be connected with the bankrupts; but. as they met all demands against them the feeling disappeared. In the afternoon a rumor wus started that a foreign house hud sus pended, and there was a flurry in gold which carried it up about three-quarters per cent. As the rumor was groundless, It is supposed to have been manu factured to help some of tho 'bulls' who Lmd bought at the top of the market and were afraid of the de clining tendency which the premium evinced. The better feeling In tho street was encouraged by tho reports from London, where bonds opened at 77?i und advanced to 78 c, showing that the failure had not produced much alarm in the foreign connections of the house. The advance in gold to-day wus pro ductive of a less easy feeling late In the day at Lon don, and prices there closed as low as 77 4B, accord ing to private advices, but the market was dull and flat, owing to the prevalence of a setul-holiduy. In the home market bonds opened steady, as a con sequence of the price of gold, nut there was some caution shown in dealings. At noon tho recovery was still more marked. At the last session of the board the market wus excitedly buoyant, 02s advancing to 122, and 67s to 127. The lower price in Kurope caused some hesitation after the boards, but the strength of gold and the eve of the second purchase of bonds by the Government led to a further pronunciation of the bullish feeling, und 02s were carried to the extraordinary figure of Vtt)i, which was bid with no bonds offering. The following were the closing street prices this even ing: United Stutes 6s, lasl, registered, 132tf(if,123; do., coupon, 12:ki123' ; do., Five-twenties, regis tered, 117ill7y ; do. do., coupon, 1802, 122JH'(rf122X ; do. do., coupon, 1884, 117,V(oM17' ; do. do., coupon, 1806. lis-'acwlisx ; do. do., coupon, 18ifi, new, 120"-ii, 120?; do. do., coupon, 1807, 120V(:,12O:','; do. do.', coupon, 1868, W.'oi 120 ', ; do., Teh-fortles, regis tered, 109 )ro'il0; do. do., coupon, llocllO; cur rency bonds, l07TiJ(10S. "The money market was again active In the fore noon, owing to the shade of uneasiness remaining from tho occurrence of the duv before, but as the day advanced rates on call fluctuated to the lately ruling figures. In fact, there was, If anything, ail easier feeling In the afternoon, and large loans on miscellaneous stook collaterals were made at six per cent., the lender being desirous of avoiding the an noyance of distributing the sum In several loans even at the full legal figure. Commercial paper was in fair demand at rates ranging from seven to nine per cent, for prime short aud long double name ac ceptances. "Foreign exchange reflected the higher price of gold by a dull and inactive market. The importing merchants hesitate to buy, hoping for lower gold lo pay for their foreign purchases, or casting about them for bonds or other substitutes. Tho prime bankers are stllfin their rates. The recent failure has created some scrutiny, If not discredit, of infe rior paper, which shows a concession In rates. "Gold wus very consistent in its fluctuations, open ing steady, if not weak, in answer to tho dissipation of the fears of an extension of the disastrous results of the suspension. With the recovery of bonds in London there was a yielding to 141?. but from this point there was un ndvance to 142V, based upon tho lalso report of another failure to-day. The reaction carried the price buck to 141'J, but the Subsequent decline in bonds at London started it up to 142", at 4 o'clock, the uneasiness being aggravated by rumors of Cabinet dissensions at Washington." An Irrepressible l'einnle. The Washington correspondent of the New York Herald writes: "The Irrepressible Mrs. Dr. Henry E.

Horrowiers are comparatively scarce, especially In the open market, but former rates for call loans and dis counts remain unchanged. To-day Is a rut her busy one In New York, since the Secretary of the Trea sury makes his weekly purchase of a million United States bonds on Wednesday. The plan, not withstanding the strong opposition it meets with on the part of some who regard it as an act of useless cxtravngnnce to redeem at a premium Of 16 per cent, notes that will not lie matured for some years to come, seems to work well so far, though it may perhaps be Improved if Mr. Boutwell, Instead of announcing the precise amount, would vary It every week, so as to prevent tho Wall street gamblers from manipulating the market preparatory to the bids. By limiting his purchases to between half a million and five millions, It Is expected the speculation to which the present plan gives rise may bo prevented. It la not to he denied, however, that our financial condi tion Is very sensitive, and that It is mach easier to criticize a bad plan than to originate an Improve ment. ; t.ovcrnmcnt bonds opened and continue strong."
