Address of the Cuban Junta to the
American People The Strength

What has been Done,
and What it is
Expected will
be Done.
The Cuban Junta has Issued an address to the
American people In which they dcelare that the ex.
siring power of Spain In Cuba Is now eniiaged in a
desperate attempt to mislead pabllo opinion with re.
card to the revolution, and to represent that it la
ajinfc out. The document sets forth that the dif
ferent reports of engagements as g-lven In the
Havana newspapers gives ua the following as the
resnlt:
Cubans silled in action, ls,R0
Cubans wounded in action 9,133
ttobans taken prisoners .0'J
Cubans surrendered, asking parden. 16,601
Total .T08
And jet the Junta proceeds to say the Spanish
irents persistently present this war as coutined to a
few predatory bands, who, far from being supoorted
by the sympathies of a majority of the population,
are compelled to take refuge in the forest, we need
quote no better authority, however, to show the
utter disreirard of truth which is the Inevitable
characteristics of 8panlHh.es despatches than the
testimony of ono of tnelr own otiluers, one of the
BiRhest in rank (General Buceta) who, in a letter
published in Diario 4e la Marina, of Havana, on the
4th of Jane, 1869, affirmed that all the omulal re
potts of actions, in which the soldiers of Spain come
out invariably triumphant and unhurt, are men-

Secretary of the Interior Kduardo Agramonte.
A Congress, or Chamber of Representatives, as It
is called, composed of delegates from every portion
of the inland now held by the Cubans, has been
sitting alternately at Gulmaro and blbameu, two
towns at a very small distance from one another,
ever since the 10th of April last, with the exception
of a short recess. Besides enacting the Constitution
of the republic, by which a form of government
similar to that oi me i nucu; euiis is eHtauiumea,
nlavery, dignities, anil social honors are abolished ;
the liberty of worship, of the press, of petition, of
public meeting, of teaching, and every other inalien
able right guaranteed. Many laws have been
framed by that body, of which the following are a
few of the principal:
Jchk IB, 1K0. Law authorizing the emission of
12,000,000 legal-tender paper money, the republic
promising to redeem it for specie at par as soon as
circumstances should permit. In anticipation pf
this enactment, the New York Junta had, at the
request of President Cespedes, caused to be en
graved in this city and sent out to Cuba the currency
required.
July 9, 18!. Law organizing the different de
partments of the army, orilalulng that every citizen
between the ages tof eighteen and fifty should be
obliged to lear arms.
Al'muht , 1MS9. Law regulating the administra
tion of Justice and vesting it: First, In a Supreme
Court. Second, In criminal Judges. Third, In civil
Judges. Fourth, In Prefects aud sub-Prefects.
Fiftu, In Courts Martial.
Kach State of the republic Is divided Into varions
Indicial districts, with a civil Judge, a criminal
ludge, and an attorney for the Commonwealth.
These court are proceeding with as much regularity
as is possible in the midst of civil commotion.
Among other facts which denote the Impartiality
with which theso courts administer justice, we will
cite the case of a Cuban named Borjcs, who was
tried by them and condemned to death for having
murdered a Spaniard named Manuel Cobza, a native
of Santander.

'divided Into districts, each one of which Is governed
by a Lieutenant-Governor, and again sub-divided
into prefectshlps and sub-prefectsbips. All these
functionaries are elected by the people.
The gravest difficulty with which the Cubans have
hitherto had to contend Is the difficulty of procur
ing arms and ammunition. Almost the whole of
what they possess have been captured from the
Spaniards, who orten abandon their weapons in the

Spain has enjoyed the most absolute liberty to obtain
arms and armed vessels in foreign ports, our ships

vers of this country and of England is contrary to
the spirit In which the neutrality and enlistment
laws of both nations were framed. Yet the Cuban
patriots have been enabled to receive from time to
tune several shipments of arms.
The address proceeds to quote the statements of
various papers published lu Cuba showing the
erueltics of the Spaniards, and evidences that they
consider the revolution uu affair of moment, and
concludes In the following words:
Spain has sent to Cuba within the last three
mouths over 17,000 men, aud she continues to send
more. She has trebled her navy on the Atlantic; she
lias taken thirty gunboats from New York. She bus
collected together an Immense mass of war supplies.
All these are preparations for a winter campaign;
for during the summer her army and her resources
Lave almost disappeared. Have such formidable
armaments ever been made against a contemptible
enemy or against a conquered foe 1

The New York AmlsDatloa-hewNe TTorror-A
Unlit? Intimacy and a Double Murder.
Tae following additional particulars have trans
plred relative to the double murder in Ellzaoeth
street, New York, on Sunday evening : .
TBS MURDIRIB'S ANTSCID1NTB.
Baumann was a native of Germany, and the prin
cipal of a private German school in Meserole street,
Brooklyn. Annie McNamara taught the English
brandies In the same school, in conjunction with a
Mtss SolHter. About three years ago he became
enamored of Mtss Sulster, and they were married
partly sgalnst the wishes of her parents, who reside
on Btisliwlck avenue. They subsequently went to
board in South Fourth street, and, for all that was
known to the contrary, lived together quite happily,
Mrs. Baumann still holding her position as teacher.
A MARBIAOI AND A SEPARATION.
In the same school was a Mrs. Almeja, the wife of
an Italian, whose maiden name was Annie McNa
mara, the daughter of respectable parents, and a
woman of remarkably prepossessing appearance.
Mrs. Almeja's nature was too sympathetic and loving
to blend harmoniously with that of her husband ;
and, finding it Impossible to pull together, they
finally separated, the young wife returning to the
house of her parents.
THS INTIMACY WITH BACH ANN.
For some time after the separation she lived very
privately, attending her school duties with great
care, but seldom appearing In society, as she had
been accustomed to before marriage. Some nine or
ten months ago Banmann began to become Inter
ested In her, and they were frequently seen going
over the pages of a book in rather close proximity to
each other, but there was no suspicion that their
intimacy was not or the purest kind, as Mrs. Almeja
was also the bosom friend and companion of Mrs.
Baumann, add her conduct towards her on all occa
sions was of the most affectionate aud sisterly
nature. Mis. Almeja always addressed her by her
first name, and called Baumann George. Finally,
matters arrived at such a point that they used to
be seen promenading together, and the busy tongue
of Blander began to wag. At the same time no one
supposed thnt 'their intercourse was of a criminal
nature.
BAUlf ANN'S SICKNESS.
A short time since Baumann was taken very sick,
and confined to his room for several days. His wife
was absent At the honse of her mother, but he sent
no messenger to request her presence, nor ever even
mentioned ber name. Not so with Mrs. Almeja ; the
moment of his prostration he ordered some person
to go for her, and she was with hina during his Ill
ness. After recovering and resuming school again
his attachment for her seemed to grow to so much
intensity that the friends of the family at once no
ticed the change, and concluded that all was not
right. About this time Mrs. Baumann became
encienU, resigned her position at the school, and
went to her mother's house to be cared for In her
confinement, and the amours of the guilty pair
prospered.
EZFILLED HIE SCHOOL.
The members of the School Committee finally had
the ttandal brought to their notice, and immedi
ately made an investigation. They found that there
were good grounds for the rumors abroad, and last
week concluded to expel Baumann. It is said that
thev adODted the same course In the cua of lira
Almeja, but nothing definite baa yet appeared in
proof of the fact. The reasonable conclusion,
under the circumstances, Is that Baumann, finding
himself out of a position with no means of continu
ing in the pursuit of his Illicit affections, decided to
Eut a period to bis existence, and take the object of
is troubles with him into the other life through the
agency of the same revolver.
MRS. BACH ANN.
Banmann's unfortunate wife is now at the resi
dence of her mother, on Bush wick avenue, Brooklyn,
in a dangerous state of excitement, considering that
she may every moment become a mother. She is
about twenty-two years of age, has rather a brilliant
education, but none of that fatal fascination of
manner which was tne uistinguisning characteristic
of Mrs. Almeja. Baumann has two brothers in this
country. Une resides in Buffalo, and is said to be In
couiiortauie circumstances, ine oeceaaed man
himself has always borne a very high character
among the Germans of Brooklyn, and had many
warm personal friends.
WESTERN CRITICISM.
F.dwln Forrest In Indianapolis.
After the Morgan raid thftre was nothing equal to
the Forrest sensation. The advent of the distin
guished actor was heralded by all sorts of biogra
phical notices, embracing particulars of his birth,
education, and courtship, with a detectable account
of his unfortunate venture in a matrimonial way,
und of his persistent character, as shown in wltn
lioldlng alimony from the partner of his shipwrecked
Joys. It was not that he liked money but from prin
cipledespising her.
The genius of Mr. Forrest has stood the test of a
Western audience, and this is the highest praise. It
is so much easier to bea comparative actor than to
realize the Ideal of one familiar with the drama, but
unaccustomed to its representation on the stage.
"Hamlet" is Shakespeare's embodiment of a blaie
youth, and thus finds sympathy with the men and
women of natural ability and generous impulses,
who, in the easy course of folly aud vice, are forced
to admit themselves failures. "Lear" Is the easy
parent who, from time immemorial, reverses the
order of nature, and depends upon his children.
The GUuliator Is nothing in Itself, but admirable
for its resistance to oppression aud love of home
and family. It is remarkable, too, for the self-denial
of "Spartacus" In suppressing his passion for bis fair
capti e. Men are not given to such acts. They
generally consider temptation sufficient excuse.
Mr. Forrest In the death scene is better and more
naturul than any living actor. In most cases there
is a prolonged agony htch Inclines one to oome in
to the rescue. This Is sudden and terrible wouuded
"Hercules" pursued by the enemy, staggering Into
the presence of royalty blind to all earthly sense
aud power, with visions of native hills, running
streams, wife and children, gladdening his soul.
The uimiU lslperfect, and the expression of his face
beautiful, as falling on one arm he breathes In
broken gasps, and with one long, heavy breath gives
up the ghost.
Mr. Forrest has been called extravagant, but ex
cessive passion is never mild, and to portray it faith
fully one must be violent. There was nothing In
Mr. Forrest's acting that was quite as enjoyable as
the display of passion. It was second only to having
a comfortable rampage oneself.
Now Mr. Forrest comes again, and ia view of the
empty stalls, new theatre, and strange faces, must
feel a good deal like "Kip Van Winkle" when he
asked, "Is anybody allvo here?"
Joseph Jefferson cau bear witness that there are
fileuty of people alive in and about Indiauapoll, and
t is evident that Mr. Forrest is very unfortunate In
coming upon the heels of that most natural actor in
the world.
It is scarcely fair, either, to make comparison be
tween them, for neither one could play the other's
part To imagine Forrest as "Rip Van Winkle"
would be only less absurd than Jefferson as " Vir
glnlus." It Is not that Mr. Forrest Is old; he Is only old
fashioned. He belongs to the old school of art,
when a few stilted passages were overlooked in the
general rendition of a favoi its play. Whatever may
be said against him, the pertinent question is when
shall we see his like again.
We have often been favored with exhibitions of
talent, but Mr. Forrest's performance was a revela
tion of genius which takes rank along with the act
ing of Rlstori, and the muslo of Thaiberg and Brig
noli. There was something in the manner of the
last not unlike Forrest, making allowance for the
difference In looks and years. It was the perfection
of art. It seemed, indeed, as If they could not help
their matchless skill any mnre than the skylark, or
the sea, Its melody. The pity Is that such a man as
Forrest should ever grow old. What he must have
been In youth t The ravages of time are not appa
rent in the hair and face, which are still fine, but .he
neck is very gross, and form corpulent to a fault.
The arm Is still shapely, but the legs are thin and
distressingly infirm. The legs Indicate readings In
futute. ItcaJlups would be more satisfactory at any
rute.
Mr. Forrest Is so much above the ordinary Une of
stock actors that he cannot be said to have any sup
port. What with the superiority and the fright he
Inspires, he stands so much alone, as If the stage
were deserted. The presence of any one besides Is
only an aggravation. One can imagine the pleasure
it would be to bear him make sense of a whole

Sptetal Despatch to The Evening TtlegrapK
JTarkibduko, Jan. 4. Affairs look stormy
this morning at Hurrisburg. The House organi
zation will be effected without difficulty, bat
trouble can hardly be avoided in the Senate,
where there are two opposing Senators from the
Somerset district, one Democrat and one Repub
lican, each armed with a certificate and each
claiming the seat. It is reported that the Demo
crats, who will have a majority of one vote
until after all the new Senators are sworn Into
office, will object to proceeding with the organi
zation unless their claimant from the Somerset
district is accorded equal privileges with his
competitor. The Senate meets at 3 o'clock. A
Democratic caucus, to consider the matter, will
bo held before the organization.

The message of the Governor will not be sent

The Htate Treannrenihlp.
The State Treasurer fight opens to-day with
renewed vigor. Both candidate are showing
their hands more freely. The efforts of the
Mackey party are herculean, and give rise to a
report that they cannot afford to be beaten. The
friends of Simon Cameron are the friends of
Mackey. The Irwin party has gathered strength
by the accession of several powerful interests,
and are instigated by the additional motive of
revenge for the manner in which Cameron dis
charged Irwin in 1869. They fight desperately,
and last, night achieved a decided
victory by carrying a motion not to hold the
caucus to nominate a State Treasurer until the
Speakers of the Senate and House should fix
upon the time. These two Speakers are both
Irwinites. This morning the supporters of
Mackey and Irwin in the Legislature were about
equal. There is a rumor that some unredeemed
promises, made by the friends of Mackey in
18C9 are rising up in judgment against his sue
cess. The public will of course understand that
these promises were of a social, and not a pecu
niary nature, as money is proverbially never
given nor promised at Harrlsburg.

Sir: Complaints are made by commanding officers

ments held out by the service, there should be no
difficulty in obtaining the best men, and you will
please call the attention of recruiting officers to the
necessity of exercising great care in the selection of

A Linnatle Calls on General Hhermrn.
Despatch to The Evening Telegraph.
Washington, Jan. 4. Among the callers at
General Sherman's residence was a Western
lunatic, who, on being ejected from the house,
indulged in a tirade of personal abuse. The
next day he sent his photograph to the General,
having written beneath the following: "I came
to you commissioned from God to beg you to
save the country. You drove me from your
doors. Now you and the country will go to the
Devil together." In the afternoon this crazy
individual again called npon the General and
inquired If his note had been received. The
General informed him that it had been received.
"Sir," said the lunatic, "I propose leaving your
city at once, and think you should contribute
towards the expense." "How much do jou
assess me?" inquired the General. "I have
fixed the amount at twenty-five cents," answered
the lunatic. Whereupon the General handod
him a dollar, and thus rid himself of an an

Tuesday, Jan. 4, ltt0. (
The weekly statement of our banks exhibits a re
markable Improvement In resources during the past
week, and the features are anomalous to an unusual
degrse. The deposits have Increased l,tll,924
the largest increase for many months. There Is also
an Increase In legal-tenders or 1512,819, and In specie
of 9R,789. On the other band, there has been a con
traction of loans to the amount or t650,sos and an
increase or credits with outside banks of 632,2H5.
The latter represents the drain made upon them In
the Interest of the Western trade. The contraction
of loans in the lace of so large an increase in the
deposits is not an nnusnal feature at this period,
when money Is hoarded preparatory to January pay
ments. The loan market Is as stringent as ever this morn
ing, and rates rule Irregularly, being governed by
the degree of pressure experienced by borrowers.
Gold Is active aud weak, though the premium is
not so decidedly downward as might have been ex
pected under the circumstances. It is announced
that the Secretory of the Treasury will sell $4,000,000
in gold during the month, but it is hardly to be ex
pected that he will come into the market like com
mon folk and take the regular market price for his
wares. The sales opened this morning at 119 1, and
closed at noon at There is a very active
movement to-day, hut the entire range Is between
X and .
Z, Government bonds are more active, but the mar
ket is weak in full sympathy with specie.
There was an active Stock market, and prices
were steady, excepting In Reading Railroad. State
loans were not sold, but there were heavy transac
tions In City sixes at99Ji for the new bonds. Lehigh
Gold Loan was taken at 90k ($90?;.
Heading Railroad was active and weak. Sales at

Still Another Batch of the Byron Na
tinest "The -True Story" Done
Into a Book at Last Harriet
Laya Bare Her Heart, and
Telle Why She Told It '
A "Weak Defense of
a Beecher Weak
ness. From Messrs. Fields, Osgood fc Co. we hare
received the advance sheets of Airs. Btowc's
book entitled "Lady Byron Vindicated,n In
which she attempts to give a history of the
Byron controversy from its beginning, in 1816
to the present time. Mrs. Stowe goes over the
same ground as in her Atlantic article, but with
greater expllcltness, and she gives a fall account
of her interview with Lady Byron when the
horrible revelation was made to her. The
essential portions of this work we now lay
before our readers. The first part of the book
attempts to show how Lord Byron, during his
lifetime, habitually attacked his wife, and en
listed against her a wide circle of his literary
friends and admirers; how these attacks
were continued long after his deatli,
with increasing virulence; and she uotcs
largely from tho "Noctes Ambrosiauas"
and the notes to that work of Dr. Bhclton
Mackenzie to show how tho sympathies of the
choice coterie of literary men who managed
Blackwood's Magazine were enlisted against
her. Mrs. Stowe then alludes to the Countess
Guiccloli's book and the article in Blackwood's ol
last July as her reasons for giving Lady Byron's
story to tho world, alleging that a preconcerted
attempt was being made at this late date to
Blander her memory and to glorify Lord Byron.
In the second part Mrs. Stowe tells how she
became acquainted with Lady Byren, and de
scribes her as she appeared during the later
years of her lifo. Tho most important chapter
of the work here follows, in which Mrs. Stowe
gives a full account of the Interview between
herself and Lady Byron, during which the
shocking revelation was made. We quote that
portion of this chapter that describes the inter
view: This calmness and dignity wore never more
manifested than in this interview. In recalling
tho conversation at this dlstauce of time, I can
not remember all the language used. Some
particular words and forms of expression I do
remember, and thoso 1 give; und in other cases
I give my recollection of the substance of what
wns said.
There was something awful to me in the in
tensity of repressed emotion which she showed
as she proceeded. The great fact upon which
all turned was stated in words that were unmis
takable: "Mrs. Stowe, he was guilty of incest with his
sister!" .
She here became so deathly pnle, that I
feared she would faint; and hastened to say,
"My dear friend, I have heard that." She asked
euickly, "From whom ?" and I answered, "From
Mrs. ;" when she replied,' "Oh, yes !" as if
recollecting herself.
I then asked her some questions; in reply to
which she said, "I will tell you."
She then spoke of her first acquaintance with
Lord Byron; from which 1 gathered that she, an
only child, brought np in retirement, and living
much within herself, had been, as deep natures
often were, intenBely stirred by his poetry; and
had felt a deep interest in him personally, as ono
that bad the germs of all thai is glorious and
noble.
When she was Introduced to him, and per
ceived his admiration of herself, and at last
received his oiler, although deeply moved, she
doubted her own power to be to him all that a '
wife should be. She declined his offer, there
fore, but desired to retain still his friendship.
After this, as she said, a correspondence ensued,
mostly on moral and literary subjects; and, by
this correspondence, her interest in him was
constantly increased.
At lata, she said, he sent her a very beautiful
letter, oftering himself again. "I thought," she
added, "that it whs sincere, and that I might
now show him all I felt. I wrote just what was
in my heart.
"Afterwards," she said, "I found in ono of hU
i'otirnalsthls notice of ray lotter: 'A letter from
Jell never rajns but it pours.' "
There was through her habitual calm a shade
of womanly indignation as she spoke thee
words; but it was gone in a moment. I said,
"And did he not love you, then?" She an
swered, "No, my dear: ho did not love me."
"Why, then, did he wish to marry you r" She
laid her hand on mine, and said in a low voice,
"You will see."
She then told me, that, shortly after the de
clared engagement, he came to her father's
house to visit her as an accepted suitor. The
visit was to her full of disappointment. Ills
appearance was so strange, moody, and unac
countable, and his treatment of her so peculiar,
that she came to the conclusion that he did not
love her, and sought an opportunity to converse
with him alone.
She told him that she saw from his manner
that their engagement did not give him pleasnre;
that she should never blame him if he wished to
dissolve it; that his nature was exceptional; and
if, on a nearer view of the situation, he shrank
from It, she would release him, and remain no
less than ever his friend.
Upon this, she said, ho fainted entirely away.
She stopped a moment, and then, as it speak
ing with great eftort, added, "Tlteii I was $ure
he must love me."
"And did he not ?" said I. "What other cause
could have led to this emotion ?'
She looked at me vory sadly, and said, "Fear
of detection."
. "What!" said I, "did that cause then exist ?"
"Yes," she said, "It did." And she explained
that she now attributed Lord Byron's great agi
tation to fear that in some way suspicion of
the crimo had soen aroused in) her mind, and
that on this account she was seeking to
break the engagement. She said that, from that
moment, hsr sympathies were aroused for
him, to soothe the remorse and anguish which
seemed preying on his mind, and which she
then regarded as the sensibility of nn unusually
exacting moral nature, which judged itself by
higher standards, and condemned itbelf unspar
ingly for what most young men of his times
regarded as venial faults. She had every hope
for his future, and all tho enthusiasm of belief
that so many men aud women of those times
and ours have had in his Intrinsic nobleness.
She said the gloom, however, seemed to be even
deeper when he came to the marriage; but she
looked at it as the suffering of a peculiar being,
to whom she was called to minister. I said to
ber, that, even in the days of my childhood, I
had heard ef Bomething very painful that had
passed as they were iu the carriage, immediately
after marriage. Sho then said that It was so;
that almost hit liist words, when they were
alone, were, that she might once have saved
him; that if she bad accepted him when he
first oflered, she might have made him anything
she pleased; but that, as it was, she would find
she had married a devil.
The conversation, as recorded in Lady Anne
Barnard's Diary, seems only a continuation of
the foregoing, and just what might have fol
lowed upon it.
