Ccspedes' Declaration of a War of Extermination-The Spanish Atrocities Which Make This Necessary. "TF Alt TO T1IE KNIFE!' This In the proclamation Issued by Oespedea, tba itvolullonary leader: Hlucetbe lirt-t acts of Ibe Cuban revolution, since tbe taking of Knysnio and HiijUtttil lu ibis department and tlial or tbe (iiwiuiuro la tbe CeMial department, when a generous capitaU IIod was ofleied to tbe Harrisons when we could nnve enforced an unconditional surren der, as Is well Known, tbe prlaolplesof bimau lty, civilization, and genet owlly were displayed on tbe part of tue Cubans, showing tbe manner In wblcb we were willing to carry on war wltb oar pressors. More tban four bun ctred prisoners -which those sucoesses aad fo'lowlnK ones placed la our power without baying been put to any risk of lire, bag con tinned to reveal our purpose, whilst toe enemy violated lu a base fnanner In Puerto Principe tte capitulation of Uualruaro, armlu ami nut us tbe elvll guard, wbo bad been swum by toe terms of tbe above-named oupltulatlou never to take up arms against tbe Cubans. And tbey not only denied quarter to ibe few prisoners wblcb they succeeded In taking, but with bloodiblrsilness and ferocity woriby of taelr BDtecedpnts In America, where tbey lost their power by similar brutality and cruelty, tbey shot, without Judgment, peaceable citizens far mere suspicion of connivauce with tbe revolu tionary troops. Tbey did more. While our troops not only respected tbe mortal remains or the enemies, soldiers, and burled those which were inhu manly abandoned by their companions, and took, care of their wouoded, our dead were barbarously abused by the Hpanlsh soldiery, their bodies mutilated, and otherwise sub Jected to tbe moHt horrible atrocities. Tbe liberating army baa not made reprisals. We wished to avail ourselves of every means In our power to make tbe enemy adopt more bumane practices and a loss ferocious system of warfare. With that object I had addressed In tbe first days of the revolution a despatob to tbe Bpanisu Government in Manzanlilo In that sense. That despatch obtained no answer, and the shooting of Cubans found In arms a id the desecration of our dead were con tinned by tbe Bpaniards. Decided, never theltss, to await tbe -last extremity be fore giving way to tbe horrors of repri sals, I sent by flag of truce a despatch to tbe 20th of December last to the Commander General of Cuba, in which I entreated that tbe Spanish Government should accept the kind of warfare wbicb we bad instituted and were observing in other words, to stipulate quarter for prisoners and wounded, as all civilized bel ligerents do, even when not united by ties of similarity of origin, religion, and language and naming a period of fifteen days for its sngwei; declaring that after this time. If I un happily received no satisfactory answer saying that tbey would cease to shoot and commit the before named crueltres, I would adopt at last the mournful but absolute necessity of re prisal. The commanding General, Brigadier Garcia Wunoz, after having maltreated by words and miserably insulted the envoy by tearing with bis own baud the insignia and devices of the defendeisof tbe country, said, in answer, that be could not condescend to lake my despatch lu to consideration. Notwithstanding, true to my word I resolved to tako no steps what ever until tbe period should have elapsed. But to-day, the permit being atauend, and theoon duct of tbe enemy being unchanged, on tbe contrary, aggravated by new aots of cruelty and barbarity, I have been obliged to aooept tbe war to the knife, with all the determina tion with which I have repelled it. Therefore, I decree reprisals with the enemy In Us most ample terms from to day, without restriction of any kind. Blood for blood. KteouMon for execution. Extermination for extermination. - . . CAKLOS MANUKLCESVEDBS. A Brltisli "Vessel Captured Two of Her ,, j'ttnaensers not-Kxpniuoa i.aau Ins;. Havana. March 30. The British Consul has sent her Britannlo Majesty's steamer tleron to Cat bar len . to 1 1 1 vest lgate the aliAlr of the Brl lish schooner Jeff. Davis. This vessel was captured In the old Bahama ChaDneland brought Into Catbarleu beoaase she bad on board as patserigers live (Jubana, white arid colored, who were endeavoring to reach Nassau. On arriving the passengers were at once brought on shore and their land ing was soon known. Two of thocn, Franolsoo M. Jimenez and Kafael Faloro, were per sons of standing and wealth. They were sur rounded Dy a mob of volunteers, and, In the prtBeuoBof tbe women aud children of their own families, were taken from tbe guard of marines wbo bad them in charge and pat to death in the street under a promlsuuousat tack with guns, pistols, bayonets, and knives. Even after tbey were dead the volunteers amused themselves by sticking their bayonets into the ltfeles bodies. When tired of this bloody pas lime tbey searched tbe bodies, and nndlnga bag full of ounces, greeted the discovery with cries of " Viva JCspana!" The only crime of these two 'victims was merely that of trying toesoape from being sent to the Island of Fernando I'o, which has fallen to the lot of all Cubans of any Dtanoing. Tbe captain and crew cf the Jeff. Davis are till in prison at Cabarlen. The British Consul 1b expecting a fleet ef several vessels, wblou have been, ordered to cruise In the Btharna waters. On tbe same day two Cubans were shot at Cabarlen for being bearers of rebel corres pondence." There are said to be 8000 Insurgents in Bagua laChica, and the Spaniards lire every sugar plantation as tbey leave It and. then lay the blame on the Insurgent forces. Two steamers spd two schooners with men and arms are reported to have landed near Cape May si. Ad floes from Santiago of tbe 26th state that the eoDoer-mlnes at Cobre have been again abandoned in consequence ot the presence of Insurgents In tbe vicinity.

Tnese are not likely to be gratified, however, as it has been con sidered best by theHherin? to limit tbe attend ance io the smallest numbers, admitting only tbote v. bo are compelled to be present. It is confidently hoped that this excellent regulation will prevent a ro urrence of eoenes wntsa have made former executions disgrace ful and unnecessarily hideous. It is understood to be tbe lnteution of the Bherlif, who has known Heal for years not to be present himself at Ibe execution, but to Intrust hi merely nominal duties to Joel Hieveus, Under Htiei 111, who will be assisted by a nuniberof Deputy Hherllfs.

Ilia Princely Mnnlileeuce He Olyes Away Six Million for Charitable Pnr poses Two Grand Hotels for Young; Working Women and Men. We learn fr6m the N. Y. Herald that A. T. Stewart, tbe noted millionaire, Is about giving six million dollars, out of bis great estate, to endow charitable institutions in New York. Hays that Journal: Mr. Btewart, In carrying out his present be nevolentscbemetwlll expend 83,000,000. and for another and similar scheme aa much more; 86,000, 000 altogether. Think of it. Blx million dollars for charity, and the gift of one man. It seems incredible. But this Is tbe age of stu pendous events, stupendous progress stupen dous ideas, stupendous inventions, stupendous revolutions, and stupendous charities. Mr. Btewart is imbued with tbe spirit of the at;e. He does nothing by halves. He matures his plans and works them out in his own time and way. A GRAND HOTEL FOB YOTJNO WOMEN. Tlils is what Mr. Btewart Is soma to build.aad this is the beginning of hi matured plan of charity. Upon this the flrsi. Instalment of 83,000,ou0 is to be expended. The bile of the building is on Fourth avenue, between Thirty second and Thirty-third streets, west bldo. It is an Iron bulldlup, and has three fronts re spectively on the three streets named. On v ourin avenue it nas a iromase or iHis xeei o Inches. Tbe frontages on Thirty-second and Thirty-third streets are each 20S feet. Tae Dreaatn oi me rear or me Duuuing is vji iset 6 Inches. The whole structure covers au area of 41,000 square feet. The main building is six storieB In height, with an add ltlonal story In tbe Man tiara roor. uver me central portions on each side, and embracing a width of 100 feet of the respective fronts, la an addition U story, with also a superincumbent Mansard roof, making tbe building at these centres eight stories high. At each extremity of these cen tral elevations are turreieu luatmarus or towers, each VA-feet lnvldth and height. Similar towers are on the angles of Thirty -second and Thirty third all eel s. These towers, , ten in number altogether, are variously designed, but with exquisite taste, aud with their gracefully foimed pinnacles rising from their angular points, give a crowning air of finish, lightness, and elegance to the structure. Tue entire height of the central portions of the building Is 10J feet, and tbat of the side portions 103 feet, besides tbe additional heights of the turrets, whioa we have already given. The height of the first story is 19 feet tt Inches, second story 14 feet 2 inches, third story 18 feet 7 Inches, fourth story 121tet 0 incuts, fifth story 12 feet, sixth story 11 feet 5 Inches, and the Mansard story 7 feel 11 inches. The main portion of the building to entablature is 00 feet, above which the Mansard roof is 18 feet in height above the elevate! cen tral portions ana Vi leei on the sides, lu outline profile the respective facades are each, except ing me granu entrance, an exact counterpart ot ibe other. The style of architecture Is of the Renaissance school, being a combination of ldesK, after Sir Christopher Wren and Inlgo Jones, enriched with modern embellishments. The hotel la constructed to accommodate about 600 guests, their belDg altogether 600 rooms for their accommodation. Eoh room Is neatly furnished and is well supplied with water aud marble basins, uesiaes ibis every room has an air duct and register for fresh air and a cor respond leg one for taking off the Impure air. a urtnermore, eacn room is neatea wun a steam oil placed under the window sill and supplied wnn iresn air irom me outsiue through an opening under the window sill. A more tnorough and perfect plan for ventilation could not possibly be devised. Ia fact, all the details are as near perieot as can na. Mr. Btewart has selected working young Women as tbe most worthy reclnientanr hw first great beneficence. To tbe patronage of ladles Mr. Btewart, as Is well known. Is almost wholly Indebted for the foundation of his for tune, aa well as being largely indebted to them for its growing expansion since. There may be something ot chivalry that stimulated his final decision a desire to pay a lasting tribute to tbe sex to which he is so much indebted but the great Impelling motive war no doubt bis perfect familiarity with the struggles, trials and temptations of working your g women as revealed to blm in thousands tbat during the past twenty-five years have been in hi em ploy. SIMILAR HOTEL FOR YOUNB MEN. Mr. Stewart's generosity is not to stoo with the hotel for working young womeu. He pro poses to build a similar hotel for young men upon a like large and liberal scale. This further field for giving practical expression to his be nevolent Impulses Is almost as important, and the benefits to be conferred upou meritorious young men employed as clerks in our stores banking bouses, and the like, will be as salu! tary, as permanent, and as widely appreciated Here is the practical philanthropy of a living practical, earnest man. He seizes hold of the firesenU He erects bis own monument while Iving. He can say, ts says his own favorite Latin poet: Eregi momentum perenniui aere and wbat a monument it is; how grand in Its conoeption: bow eolossal in lis execution; bow beneficent in its results! This monument will be Imperishable. TbeBetwo great eharltles will through onmlng ages be the theme of the world's wonder and admiration. What a triumphant refatation, these magnifi cent and unparalleled charities, to the wide spread belief and frequent assertion, that Mr. Stewart only knew how to make money and to keep It. He la now proving to tbe world how little it has knawo of him, and that his life, though devoted to money. making, in which he has been more successful tban any man living, has bad for him a further, and higher and no bler purpose: that be ia endowed with aspira tion reaching beyond himself; that through tbe long yoars of his suooessfal meroantlle career he has been meditating soma great benevolent schema, and that bis Ufa energies, f which we are now Just beginning to see the frail, bava been bravely devoted to grand and benaflMiit ftliuh SECOND EDITION LATEST BY TELEGRAPH.

It is definitely ascertained that Mr. Johnson Is tlroDgly opposed to the Democratic guberna torial canvass, with the franchise left as it is by the Supreme Court, and the Republicans pre scnting an unbroken front. Defeat, he thlnke, would under tbe circumstances badly damage the conservative cause possibly put off en franchisement for two or threo years. The object of his forthcoming address Is intended more as a sort of a review or vindication of his Presidential career than a campaign speech. " If there is any possible chance of conservative success, however, in direct canvass, Mr. John son is bound to give his stump effort a direction that will bave direct effect. A fe w weeks will determine whether or not there will be a canvass. Nearly nil the militia scattered throughout the State have been recalled to Nashville. This is caused by the general quiet throughout the State, aud from the earnest appeals to that end made by the leadlDg men of all political shades. FROM CI1I0AG0.
