Havana correspondence just received contains
the following:
There in undoubtedly more vlsjor and appa
rently more honesty in the administration of
affairs under the regime of l)e Kodaa than has
existed In the history of all pant Cubau colonial
jj povcrnorships. More unity of feeling between
i the real custodians of the island, the volunteers,
J and the Government Is every day becoming
! more and more apparent. New companies and
battalions are in process of formation in Havana,
?Hatanzas, Cardenas, and throughout the princi
pal towns of the island. Subscriptions are being
" raised for tlirir maintenance, and lurj;c amounts
"have been furnished voluntarily by those In
' favor of the Spanish cause, and who see in the
i triumph of the insurrection the ruin of the
ij it-laiid. Do Kotlas himself has issued a general
, order to the Military (iovcrnorof the jurisdiction
of Matan.as, marking out the line of conduct to
bo pursued by him and the officials under him.
! As this general order seems to constitute a
general platform on the part of (ieueral Dc lio
t das, I give it below:

i tioti Circular: The extraordinary circutn-
etnnces through which we are passing, the ne
; cessity of correcting several abuses which, per
i haps, through a mistaken zeal, arc committed,
i' are retarding the work of pacification that I
have imposed to myself, and the desire that
j those who exercise an independent command
i should be governed by a common criterion, In
Jf duces mc to fix certain rules in which are con
j densed the Ideas and line of conduct ;which I
prot'ose to follow.
B WnTH urn filwfivA verv lnuiptitnliln. but. when of
I a civil nature they are accustomed to assume u
character of unlimited ferocity, and on the part
of the most powerful should remain ever gene
rosity, indulgence and nobleness. It may hap
pen that some of the men, until now halluci
nated, may present themselves to the chiefs of
the columns or authorities of the Government;
in such event they will be religiously respected
in their persons and interests, ;ind I will exact
the strictest responsibility from him who mal
treats or Insults them.
L' The conditions of this war of insurrection
against the common country demand prompt
and exemplar' chastisement, and for this reason
my predecessors have justly imposed capital
punishment on all those captured with arms in
I their hands. The civilization and justice of
Spain, before the judgment of other nations,
imposes, however, on her the duty of avoiding
I as much as possible the spilling of blood, and
this should only be resorted to in the cases of
chiefs or men who have been proved guilty of
the crimes of incendiarism or assassination, re
mitting all other prisoners to me for my deci
sion. All functionaries dependent on my authority
will cause to be respected the lives, houses, and
properties of all the inhabitants without dis
tinction, punishing rigorously all those who
infringe these orders.'
No person will be arrested on mere suspicion,
without obtaining proofs of his delinquency, and
in case of arrest the trial will take place imme
diately. Great care will be taken, in proceeding in
whatever sense ugainst foreigners, that no
legal requisite is omitted on account of the
just consideration due to their respective na
tions. Under the display of an Illy-understood zeal
It is usual to conceal acts of notorious cowardice.
On this point I will be inexorable, and will ex
act a strict account from the edi'ief who tolerates
the slightest fault In his subordinates without
reporting the matter to me, and putting In exe
cution the precautions which the case requires,
such as arrest, the suspension from his oflice,
ecc. etc., of him who becomes an infractor.
The greater part of the reverses suffered in
actual war are owing to carelessness, lack of
judgment and vigilance. Let it be understood
that he who is surprised In the commission of
any of these faults will be submitted to a court
martial, as also he who loses more men in a
combat than he should, owing to bad disposi
tions, or allows the capture of a part or the
whole of a convoy without being able to prove
that he made all the efforts possible to save it.
Faults of discipline will be punished with all
rigor, employing, when the case requires the
proceeding, verbal court-martials, with the un
derstanding that I will be inexorable with all
omcers lukewarm in their etlorts to sustain sub
ordination, such officers remaining aware of the
application of all laws relating to this affair, and
the reigning dispositions.
Officers-in-chief should see to the maintenance
of their troops, in order that they lack not cloth
ing, shoes, ammunition, and useful armament.
'I hnsA tmr,n wlin pnnRiimo mnoh ftmmmiitiikn
J reveal almost always cowardice. Accustom the
f anlriier to fire, little and well.
Ofllcial despatches must always be truthful,
and without containing more details than are
precisely necessary for an exact comprehension
of the facts.
Lastly, recommend ttaosa who perform acts of
bravery, avoiding to favor friends and relatives,
in the security that true merit and the best as
pirations of the chiefs, officials and troops who
distinguish themselves will be recompensed as
they deserve.
I charge your Excellency to circulate these ln
itructions to the subordinate authorities through
out your jurisdiction, and to all commanders of
columns, in order that they should acquire the
greatest publicity, warning you that I will al
ways require the strictest compliance with their
provisions. Caiialleko sx Kobas.

Frvm the X. Y. World of tc-4ay.
There were much sorrow and pining within
the walls of Fort Lafayette yesterday and yes
ternight. The vanquished Cuban patriots ex
pected a speedy release after arriving at the
Navy Yard, ond did not expect that they would
be treated like prisoncisof war. The fact of
their being treated as such, and confined In that
bastile where many men have wrongfully been
compelled to suffer, made them, feel very much
like martyrs.
But General Barlow, whoput them there, holds
that under his commission by the President he
is authorized to dispose of the prisoners in this
way, until such time as they may bo ordered be
fore a I'nitcd States nuigistrute for examination.
One of the United States commissioners will
doubtless go to Fort Lafayette to-day and dis
charge the prisoners, after taking each man's
recognizance to appear In court If called upon.
- The. statement made that another steamer had
gone to Gardiner's island to capture the re
mainder of the filibusters, is incorrect; also, that
a battery of six guns had been ordered to the
same place to lay siege to Colonel Kyan's sub
terranean fort.
Noiselessly on Friday morning, before the
heavens were tinted by the rosy lingers of
Aurora, a band of Cuban liberators stole away
from New York and arrived in Jersey City,
where they stopped for a cup of coffee and a
little rest. They soon embarked iu the West
Hobokcn cars, bearing with them numerous
trappings and light hearts. Notwithstanding
Marshal Barlow's persistent pursuit, they ex
press themselves determined to cling to each
other and to their cause. In the morning, before
the neighborhood was generally aroused from
their slumber, this band of about 100 landed at
the West Hobokcn depot, and proceeded in an
orderly aud quiet march to their headquarters.
The I'nmp.
On the old Weavertown road (the travel of
which lias been for the most part transferred to
the new turnpike), upon a charming knoll
which overlooks the Hackensack Valley, and
affords a fine view of the distant blue mountains
of Orange, is a large frame house, situated on a
half acre of ground. Around about arc the
bcuutitul gardens of the florists, who mostly
"here do congregate." It is a secluded spot,
well adapted for its use. The trees of an olden
time still shade the old road, and under their
shadow the filibusters lounge and smoke. The
house is entirely unfurnished, looMng as bare as
a dismantled fort; little bouquets, tokens of the
sympathy of lady friends, ornament the mantel
shelves of some of the rooms, but save these
floral adornments, there is nothing inviting. The
men sleep on the floor in their blankets, aud eat
on the green grass. They are abundantly fur
nished with food. The Jersey market wagons
yesterday were unloading vegetables temptingly
fresh.
What They Do.
Yesterday the men were very quiet, none of
them being allowed to leave tiie grounds until
evening, when they strolled olf in squads. A
few went over to Union and bought out a cigar
dealer, bearing back their purchases to the
camp, and leaving the tobacconist with no stock
but a large capital. The storekeepers in the
vicinity have no cause to regret the sortie by the
band.
A few of the active men organized a ball club
and are spendlug their "muscle and blood and
life" in ball-playing. Though a more peaceful
game than the one they have been hankering to
play at, they seemed to enjoy it well. Every
day, in the morning at 9 o'clock, and In the
evening at 6, the captain of the company drills
them, putting them through the double quick
nud the mauual of arms. They have no guus,
so that they only go through the motions.
Who They Are.
The force is composed chiefly of Cubans,
although there is an Austrian and a fw French
men in their ranks. The Cubans are fine-appearing
fellows, looking as though they were
accustomed to more elegantly-appointed homes
thiirwthcir present one. It is believed that this
coiOany is a portion of the force stationed
on rTardiner's island, and that they have eluded
the United States Deputy Marshals. They re
presented themselves as a party of young men
who wished to camp out for a month or more,
and breathe the fresh air and eat the relishable
fruit of the land. This they said to the man
from whom they rented the premises. The un
suspicious Jerscyman agreed for forty dollars
to him in hand paid to grant them the house and
ground for one month. He now discovers that
the headquarters of the Cubans are located on
his fields, but is in nowise disturbed. Nor are
any of the people. The men are orderly, live
quietly, and spend their money freely, which
latter item is a consideration with the Hobo
keiiites. Blyntrrloun Movements.
Several coaches were seen yesterday stopping
at the camp. They were observed to drive up
to the gate, the passengers aligiitcd and dis
missed the carriages, which would move off and
stand a little distance away, awaiting orders.
The occupants were all Cubans, and some of the
faces were familiar to the visitors at the New
York headquarters. What they did or said no
one outside could tell. There seemed to be an
excited discussion over some measure, but cou
ceruing what was not disclosed.
There' was a serenade given the men on Sun
day night. Some sweet-voiced Cuban ladies
made the hills ring with their music, aud cheered
the hearts of the men in camp. It was expected
that there would be a large reinforcement last
night.
GENERALITIES.
SECOND EDITION
The livnrts Monition.
A recent letter from Windsor, Vt., says:
"Windsor is the summer residence of the ex-Attorney-Gcneral
of the United States, William
M. Evarts. In order to accommodate his large
family of thirteen children, among which there
are two pairs of twins, Mr. Evarts occupies
three large mansions standing side by side on
the prettiest street in the village, and within a
large Inclosure shaded with elms, maples, and
pines, and ornamented with each variety of
shrubbery and all the rare flowers known in
this climate. Jn connection with his residence
he owns a small farm of intervale and hill laud,
which he keeps under a hiirh state of cultivation.
and which is stocked with the most valuable
breed ot cuttle and sheep 111 the country."
Worse Than All!
Under the head "What We Have Done," a
correspondent of the Richmond Whit) details
how great were the sacnliccs ot prejudice made
to elect Walker. He says: "The principles of
the Republican party have triumphed. Our
boasted declaration that this was a 'white
man's government' we have taken back. Our
idea, expressed not many years ago, of fighting
it out on 'negro suffrage, wo have given up.
We have, Indeed, conceded many tilings. ve

naturally resist such tilings. Toone Mr. Pierce,
the collector, said: "What Is your ago ?" aud
she replied, "That is an impudent question and
I won t tell you." "Well, I shall put you down
at thirty," said Tierce. "I'm only twenty
seven," indignantly exclaimed the now
thoroughly enraged lady. The record was cor
rected accordingly. "Madam," said Mr. Pierce
to another lady, "I have been at your house
twice to take the census.'' "You had better not
let me catch von there taking anything,"
answered the independent woman. "I want to
know how many children you have if" asked
Pierce, walking into a house. "What's that
your business i" answered the dame, "so long
as we don't ask you to keep tlieiu ?" "I am tak

"Well, I guess somebody has been utakiu' yours,

TIIE FRENCH CABLE.
Arrnnffrmrntn for tlio Landing nt Dnxbiirv,
AlnHB. No Fcnrn of Government Interfe
rence The IiPKiHlation of ilnncliunettM.
A correspondent writes from Duxbury, Mass.,
yesterday:
The oflieers and workmen preparing for the
reception of the French cable are going forward
in their arrangements, in spite of all rumors of
probable Government interference. They have
not, and have not at any time had, any fears of
an objection to their landing, notwithstanding
those in tiie interest of the old cable and the
Western Union Company have been Industrious
in securing substantial opposition to their enter
prises. The cable Is expected on Thursday or
Friday, and it is now the intention to commence
business immediately. The land line to connect
with New York from Boston via the Franklin
lines will be finished to-morrow.
The citizens of this town are arranging for an
extensive celebration as soon as the cable ar
rives, and there will probably be a largo crowd
here from all sections cJ,Ue State. The revenue
cutter in Boston, together with two or three
other steamers at mat port, win arrive to-morrow
or next day for the purpose of escorting the
cable vessels into Dexbury.
It is plain that the legislation of Massachusetts
covers all the ground over which there lias been
so much discussion, aud concerning which nu
merous legal opinions have been given. The
French cable proper will oulycome as far as the
point where the Government has 110 authority,
and there it will be spliced to a cable laid by the
"Ocean Telegraph Company," a corporation in
corporated for the purpose at the last session of
the Massachusetts Legislature. By tbis arrange
ment the means of communication will be. free
and uninterrupted, and it does not seem that
any special legislation is required from Congress
to protect it; and further it does not appear tliat
any act of Congress can justly interfere with it.
The bill, as passed by the State Legislature, is as
follows:
AN ACT TO INCORPORATE THE OCEAN TELEGRAPH
COMPANY.
Section 1. George M. Dexter, Joshua Lovett,
William R. Robeson, Jr., their associates and suc
cessors, are hereby made a corporation by the name
of the Ocean Telegraph Company, aud are hereby
authorized to lay and maintain a telegraph cable In
and over the waters, shores, and lands of this Com
monwealth from some point or points on the shore
of the county of Plymouth to the open sea, and to
connect the same with any foreign telegraph cable,
und are also authorized to construct, maintain, ami
use a line of telegraph from such point on
said shore to any point within the limits of
the said Commonwealth, with all the powers and
privileges, and subject to nil the duties, liabilities,
und restrictions set forth In all general laws that
now are or may nerearter ne in rorce relating to tele
graph companies; provided, that said company shall
establish aud maintaiu within one mile of the shore
landing of their cable an oflice at which It shall re
ceive and promptly transmit, at a uniform price,
over Its cable. In the order in which they are re
ceived, all messages delivered at said oitlce by any
telegraph company now or hereafter to be estab
lihtud. Section 2. Satd corporation may hold such real ami
personal estate as may be necessary for the purpose
aforesaid, but the capital stock shall not exceed
1 011,000.

Griffin, the engineer who caused the terrible
collision at Mast Hope, has been caught and
imprisoned. Ho says ho is extremely sorry; it
would have been too much to say ho was glad
of it. But lie thinks ho "ought not to be
punished severely." In that opinion the public
probably differs from him; and wo trust the
jury which tries him will also lail to agree with
b!m.
Meanwhile, the people would like to know
whether the managers of the Krlo Railway feel
sorry too, or whether they don't care. Any sor
row of theirs cannot bring the dead back to life;
but it would show at least a decent respect for
public opinion If they should tell the public that
they ore sorry that so dreadful a murder should
huTo been committed by the carelessness of one
of their servants, and that they will try to intro
duce more rigid discipline among their men,
und themselves pay more attention to the work
ing of the road and less to stock gambling than
tl ey have done for some time. It is not Impos
sible to declaro a railroad a public nulsuuce, and
nl ate it. A'. '. J'oitt.

FINANCE WCOMJIEItCE,

Tuotuluy, Jaly 2o, 1869. (
The comparative statement of our banks for the
past week is decidedly unfavorable again, but le.is so
than the previous one. The decrease iu the legal
tenders is the most serious Item, and the most signi
ficant, under the circumstances, amounting to
1470,607; the deposits show a falling oir of $isl,525,
and the loans of tl2,157. The dltfeience between
the two Items of deposits and loans shows that the
banks have been disposed to accommodate to the
extent of their ability, and which led to the Impres
sion that the backs were gaining strength when they
were in reality losing ground.
Their condition just now is abnormal, and it would
be vain of course to expect uny relaxation In the
rates for the present. Call loans are quite (irm at
yesterduy's figures, and the bill brokers, with a keen
eye to business, are taking advantage of circum
stances by putting on the screw.
Gold is very quiet and lower, opening at 135,'i and
selling jit noon ut l.W.v.
In Government loans the Bales were light, but
prices generally continue tlrm.
The transactions at the Stock Board were moder
ately active. State and City loans are Uriu at former
quotations. Reading Railroad was active ami
ranged from 40'' KW4, b. o., closing at4tliC ; Penn
sylvania Railroad was weakut 66'$ ; Minehlll at53)tf ;
and Philadelphia and Erie at 81, b. o. SM wa bid
for Lc high Valley; 87 for Cutawissa preferred; ami
49 ' for Northern Central.
In Canal stocks small transactions. Sales of
Lehigh Navigation at 36(36W, b. 0. 10 was bid for
Schuvlkili Navigation, aud 21 for preferred do.
In Coal shares there were sales of St. Nicholas at
2T.1, an advance.
Bank and Passenger Railway shares were without
change worthy of notice. There were only limited
transactions iu either.

NEW YORK MONEY MAHKET.
The following extracts show the BUtfl of to 3 NtW
York money market yesterday :
From the Herald.
"The excellence of the bank statement and the
ease In money failed to arrest the drooping tendency
of the stock market, and prices on the first day
closed lower than at the termination of business on
Saturday. The fact Is, the leading operators and
speculators who were in the habit of sustaining quo
tations by their very presence are out of town, and
also out of stocks; for they have sold and gone to
the watering places and sea-side to enjoy the
profits.
"A report was enrrent late this afternoon that
Secretary Boutwell intended resigning witnln a few
days, and that Freeman Clarke would bo his succes
sor in the Cabinet.
"The money market was abundantly supplied at
7 per cent, on call, with pledge of prime and mis
cellaneous collaterals. There was unusual demand,
but balances were not pressed for engagement. On
prime collateral there were the usual exceptions at
6 per cent. Commercial paper felt the change '
more sensibly, and under a better Inquiry the range
of discount rates for prime double Names, at sixty
days and four months, was from 8 to 12 per cent.
There was a good deal of currency at the Interme
diate figures.
"Government bonds were strong, and at the first
board sold at the highest for some of the Issues ever
attained. The London quotation (82 v, the ease in
money, and the firmness In gold all contributed to
produce this result. Afterwards the market became
heavy with the decline In gold, but reacted lute In
the afternoon, clo-ilng steady und dull ut the follow
ing prices: l'ulted Mates 6-1, lssl, registered, 120V

"Gold opened strong, the 'bulls' making a Bortle
which put the price as high as 130V, but It subse
quently declined to 135?,. A great deal of mystery
enshrouds the market, and operators are sorely
puzzled to know how to take It. Ex change Is nrm,
but artificially so; yet gold shipments are light as
compared with those of this season In previous years.
It will be remembered that the tlrst report of the
specie shipped by the Cltv of Boston on Saturday
was (2.(5,000, then the amount was Increased to
1484,760, und at the last moment to 1584,750. The
last shipment of $150,noo took place after the ofllciat
report was made to the Custom House, so that it
does not appear In that week's total of the export
of specie. It will uppear lu the statement of next
Saturday."
