BY MA I I Annexation. A Havana correspondent of the N. Y. Times w rites: Annexation is no longer spoken of, and from good authority I learned that Cespedes and the to tral Committee have issued an order threaten ng with the death penalty any one proposing it. "Übe Cubans want to set up a government by themselves; they are trying to shake off their old task-masters. the Spaniards, and they don't strbth to play the part of the frogs in the fable by hav ing these Yankees set over them in place of the Spaniards. They would at least exist, not live or act, under Spanish rule; but American go bhe ad veness and activity would de stroy them. The country is not ripe enough yet to form a part of the Union, and the Cubans are well aware of their strong and weak points. The document above referred to is said to contain a severe rebuke to the insurgent leaders and offi cers, and begins by complaining of a want of dis cipline among the Cuban troops, and by calling attention to the necessity of obedience, stating that some Cuban leaders have made arrangements with the enemy on their own responsibility, and adding that only the Assembly has the power to do so. It is surmised that this refers to the ex change of prisoners made on various occasions by the contending parties. CC BAN INDEPENDENCE. Great Meeting in New York • The N. Y. Times says: An immense meeting in favor of Cuban inde pendence was held at Steinway Hall last evening. about. 2,000 pereons,ehielly Cubans, were present, among whom were several ladies. The platform was decorated with the Cuban revolutionary flag and the Stars and Stripes. Mr. Dana read a list of Vice-Presidents, inclu ding the names of Messrs. W. C. Bryant,John C. .7remont, Geo. W. Curtis. and others. He also read the following resolutions: R,soked, That the present struggle of the Cubans for independence and self-goverament belongs in the same category with the American Revolution of 1776. It should excite the sym pathy of all friends of popular progress, and de r erves every kind of assistance that other nations way be able to render. Resolved, That the Cuban cause is just, and that the wrongs against which the Cubans have revolted are such as should rouse the indignation of mankind, including as they do taxation with „nt representation, the forced maintenance of the institution of slavery, the exclusion of all natives of the island from public service, the denial of the right to bear arms, add of all the sacred privileges of citizenship and nationality. Resolved, That in proclaiming the abolition of slavery, the patriots of Cuba have given conclu• sive evidence that they share the most substantial ider,s of modern democracy, and that their poli tical principles are in unison with those which inspire and govern the profoundest thinkers and statesmen of the age. Resolved, That while men of free minds in all • (gantries must view with interest and hope the uprising of Cuba, we, as citizens of the Republic of North America and near neighbors of the island, recognize a special obligation toward the patriots who are toiling and fighting for its emancipation from European tyranny. Resolved, That in our judgment it is the duty of our Government to recognize the belligerent rights of the Cubans at the earliest 'practicable moment Lapplaneei, and thus to show the world that this nation is always on the side of those who contend against despotism and op pression; and that we earnestly entreat the Ex ecutive at Washington that there may be no un necessary delay in decisively dealing with this great subject. . ADDRESS OF MR. BREMER. Rev. henry Wurd Beecher said:—l shall hope to be near the hour of my death when the tidings that any peOple, however small or how ever remote on this globe, having felt the touch • of freedom, and having wakened for the achieve ment of true liberty, shall fail to ratse in my; heart ,a responsive enthuslastu. Though they may not speak the same language, the heart knows; but one language. We may be divided by the tongue, but they who have generous sentiments are not so much divided, by a thousand times, as , those who are divided in their language. Well, I rejoice in the hearty sympathy which I nor ceive hero to-night, and I hope that the move- ; ment that is begun here to-night will spread through every city and town and village in the country, so that the whole American people may stand together, without distinction of parties--; that they may all stand together upon this Cuban question. For lam thoroughly in earnest; and; I desire to see Cuba shako off her shackles, be absolutely free—the most beautiful isle of the, globe; large enough to be separate and inde pendent; wise enough to be self-governing; PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, MARCH 26, 1869. when the iron shdll no longer be on her hands and upon her ancles• but she shall be able to stand among the independent nations of tie earth. I Great applause.] Will you then in d trige - me in a few` remarks, addressed - rather to 3 our reason than your feeling? Let me say that ih s meeting is not a meeting to set forth any ill will or to excite a feeling against Spaniards, or against Spain, in their own proper sphere and . dominion. So far from that, we not only do not meet to-night to say that we are enemies to Spain, but we declare that we are their friends, aid desire to become more so. We desire that every part of their policy, so far as it is truly in the spirit of an enlarged liberty, shall have no check or drawback. And while we see them waking from the doze,ayo the sleep of ages, if they commit some mistakes, we can forebear, for we know the bad lessons that they have learned in the ages of tyranny, and we are not disposed to look with an evil eye upon all parts of their conduct. I believe that the old Spanish blood has not lost its strength yet. And though Spain seemed degenerate and was the last nation ci Europe to hear the trumpet-call of liberty, she has beard it, and the people are rising upon :;II her hills and all her valleys, and "freedom of religion" is Muir watchword to-day. lApplause. I Freedom. knowledge, independence, virtue, patriotism—these are the feelings that eurn ae a sacred national fire among- the Spaniards; and 1 say to Spain. "That which makes us love you to-day, Is that which we de mend for Cuba to-day." I Great applause.l Let it not be possible then that we should be mis taken. Let not the most, prejudiced, or the most knavish be able to spread abroad that this was a meeting hostile to Spain. Let us send this wit ness to them, "As long as you are for freedom, for intelligence, for sacred independence in reli gion, so long you have our hearts and our confi dence." I Great applause.) There is another thought that I wish to premise, and that is thin---I would not have the force of this meeting destroyed by the sup position that it is a mere demonstration of s.ll-interest, masked over by patnotism and the love of liberty. I say that motive la not mixed w ith the principles we now advocate. Ido not hay that, by-and-by, Cuba may not be annexed to the United.Statte; but my desire is that she be left tree to do that which her own interests may require her to do. If the Cubans see best to be governed in their own way, let them so choose. 1 i Cuba chooses to make application for admis sion into the Union of these tltates.l can only say that so far as I am concerned she is welcome. But it is not for that I stand here to-night. It is for her autonomy that I appeal—that she way be erected into a State, and then afterward determine what is beat for herself. I say here is no masked self-interest. Why ought :Saba to be independent ? Because she is a separate terri tory. 11 she were some Province of the Penin sula of Spain," should doubt the propriety of her separate independence; because there is a right of the minority, there is also a right in the ma jority, as we have shown in the grand struggle which has just finished. If a man who is a com mon tenant with me in a dwelling-house insists upon it that he has a right to take half the house away, and cat it down from top to bottom, 1 protest against any such act. for I have a right sot to have my house moved. In regard, there fore, to any province of a country, I hold- myself at liberty to discuss every such question on its own merits, and on its own ground. But Cuba is no province. It is a little Continent of itself, snd mere smallness has nothing to do with merit or beauty. Cuba stands in such circumstances that she can well be independent of all the tut •llles of the earth—certainly independent of the furthermost continent She ought to be free be cause she has a population which desires freedom; end that brings me back to one of the fundamen- tal principles of humanity—and that ta- that every people have the inherent right to 4-e V-government; and this right does not belong to any particular country or to any particular age. A people may not come to the knowledge of it for a long while; they may not come to a knowledge of the wisest way of maintaining that liberty; but the right of every person to liberty 113 a right that mounts as high as the firs* erea non of a man. I drum for the Cubans, then, be cause they belong to the great family of man k Md. I claim it for all, whether it be in Crete or tuba, or in the Caribbean Sea; whether it be some far-off northern country; or a land or the remote South. It is the right which I claim for all men who live on God's green earth. Nor does it make any differ erce because the right has been overlaid. It is the truth that possession may, in law at least, sive property, but no possession can give force to political rights over others. Though the loins t.f the slave had been set upon by the tyrant for a thousand years, yet that gives the tyrant no tight over the slave. I Applause. I Aud, there fore, it does not follow that because the Cubans bate , been so long under the rule of Spain, and because Spain has so long sucked the blood of the country, it does not follow that she has the right to suck more. There is Cuba, stand ing as it were, like a cow, knee-deep in good pasture, and Spain willing togive her more because Spain sits at the pail. Well, the Cubans object to Spainal lag there with the pail any longer. Let it sufil for the time past; bat lor the future,l assert the fi ght of Cuba to own her self. I hold that Cuba h • that right to her liberty which people do who suffer for the achievement of it. You cannot, by any foreign force, make a is ople free. It is like boys building mud-castles: they are mud still, after you have gone through with it; and so of a nation. If they are willing to oc enslaved, you may shape them in what shape )on please, but they are mud when you get ,hrough. The Cubans have shown they have nerve and courage: that they are will ing to spend their treasure and blood for freedom. I Applause. I When I see men willing to give weir plantations, free ell their slaves, beggar themselves nearly, and come to New ork say ing, " It is better for me to be a poor man and free, than the richest m Cuba and be enslaved." i Applause. I It is because I see this spirit in Cu bans that 1 have hope for them; and assert for them this right of separation from the old country. 1 will not call it the mother country unless it be a etep-mother. [Laughter and applause.] This delicate morsel which has been put into my band speaks of a navy and an army opposed to the Cubans. Yet here is a people that for five months has stood firm, and, has not suffered much from this navy, and not Much from this army. I Applause.] It is true that the Spanish army bolds the populous cities on the sea-coatis, but it is also true that the Cubans themselves hold God's fortified cities—the mountains of the in terior. And if they have been able thus far to hold them, wo have reason to believe that they will be able to hold them still longer —long enough to have their belligerent rights • recognized. If Without arms, without aid, without encouragement from abroad they have been able to hold out so long, how much more will they accomplish when all North America sends them sympathy; when they know that thirty millions of men cheer them and nay to them, "Do or die !" [Great applause. I I would speak' to these berme men; would that they could hear my voice to-night. I would say to them, "Better for you to die as heroes than live as slaves; better a thousand fold that Cuba should sink in the sea than that Cubans should go back again under Spanish rule." [Applause.] But I say that if Cuba ought to be governed by any other nation,Spain is the last country that ought to do it . 1 - Applause s l Spain, I say, is the last, because she knows the least as yet how to govern. She has slumbered so long that she has forgotten everything excepts the days of Charles V. She has just wakened, and now, like some Rip Van Winkle of nations, she wants a good shaking. Let her be well shaken and 'wakened wholly; rand let her put on her beautiful garments. But Spain has not learned yet what , France has not learned, what Italy has not learned, what England has not yet learned, what Turkey has not learned—aye, what America has , not learned—what God did not moan that any body shotild learn: Ilow to govern - a foreign people that are able to govern themslves. We; are so used to the breath of liberty in this coon-1 OUR WHOLE COUNTRY. try, that we cannot understand tie tyranny, the motberation that theAlubans endure. What ever laws there are in Cuba come from Spain; there, no citizen has a voice in framing the - awe. All - her - laws, like - most - other - things, - are imported for her. Consider, Americans, tf the Czar of Russia owned you, and made all your laws in Moscow, and that they were brought over here like so much muslin, and not sold, but put on you: I should pity you, but I a-bonld pity the laws more. F A.pplause. j The laws arc not made in the interest of the Cubans, hut for the Spanish Government. Spain uses Cuba us a sponge, by means of which she stacks np riches and puts them Into her own exchequer. After an urgent appeal to the merchants of the city to aid the Cubans in their struggle, ho said the day would come when one more flag, the flag of Cuba, would be added to the flags of nations. Itlonstroue Massacres by Order et the Revolutionary Chief. WASMINGTON,March 25.—Admiral Hoff encloses to the Navy Department the following almost in credible narrative from Messrs. George C. Brown and J. C. Nicholson, gentlemen for whose verac ity our Consul at Hayti vouches: The statements which we are about to make are facts which passed, some under our own yes, others to our knowledge. The following are the most prominent instances: Gen. Bogfia, one of the beet friends of the rev olution. was sent to Corteun to direct the defence of the lines in that direction. An attack was made upon him by Salnav e's forces; hie men having been routed, fled, and he had to abandon the position after vain efforts to rally his men. Be was tried by court martial and honorably ac quitted. Notwithstanding this, he had scarcely reached his home when he was rearrested and summarily shot by order of Dominguez. Gen. Ells Aime Mentor, for having refused to join} the revolution and for having expressed a wish to remain neutral, was tried by eourt-mar tial and condemned to six months' Imprisonment, never again to be set at liberty, as the aequet will show. Prisoners taken on the field of battle wounded, and in some cases fatally, were, in common with others not wpanded, shot immediately after com bat, quarter on this side being scarcely thought of. !several other persons were shot without any form of trial upon the mere denunciation of un known individuals, the reason assigned being for having tallied against the revolution. WEIOLESALE BUTCHERY IN AUX. CAYES. Upon the arrival of Salnave's forces before Aux Cayes, and upon the first attack that was made, the numerous persons who found themselves in prison for minor offences and so-called political crimes, as related above, were ordered into the prison court-yard, the sick were carried down, the doors were thrown open, and a discharge of musketry was fired into them. This being found Insufficient to kill fast enough, rounds of grape and canister were directed against theta to hasten this dreadful butchery. Many women were thus sacrificed—the wives and sisters of individuals above referred to as having joined Salnave's party, as also was Gen. File Aims Mentor. Gen. File Aime Mentor was unable to stand up on account of sickness, and was,in con esquence,tied in a chair. Even after this,recouree was bad to point blank meeketry to finish the sufferings of those who still breathed. A father and son were shot together, without any other reason than some silly remark made by the latter. After having uselessly pleaded for the life of the eon, he requested to share his fate, which was too gladly accepted by the rebels, and they were murdered before our eyes, under circum stances too horrible to relate. TIRE MURDER OF MADAME ZORPEILSO. Madame Zombis° was arrested on stemma of some of her relatives being in Sainave's ranks. The facts of her execution are the following: A guard of soldiers drew up before the prison door; the officer—a creature of Dominguez. who had hitherto officiated in these murders with alacrity —called for this woman and told her that Domin guez requested her presence. Upon appearing, and as she was about being tied with a rope, in great consternation and agony of mind, she cried out: "Surely you are not going to kill me?" The aforesaid officer assured her that each was not the case. In spite of this protestation she was marched off a few paces to the sea side, between a file of soldiers—some of whom held the rope with which her arms were bound—and she was then shot, that is, murdered in the usual style. STARING DEATH jig THE FACE. It may not be out of place here to say that all the people who were shot had to stand up facing the firing piny, and forced to look upon them while loading and going through maewnvres preparatory to their execution. In most eases the first fire only wounded and otherwise shat tered their limbs. There being no reserve party left to hasten their ends, they had to wait about a quarter of an hour, still standing, before the guns wore reloaded. This woman was one of the numerous instances. It would lengthen out this list of sad detail unnecessarily to recount all the other executions. When men in the revolu tion desert, their wives are imprisoned, and In many cases shot. WEIR HAYTI/IN REVOLUTION. EN. PRESIDER r JOHNSON. lie is Stricken with Paralysis of the night bide—llis ramify ienysiciau on the Way to Greenville—He is Con sidered Better at Last Accounts. Wan] IN GTON, *larch 25.—At midnight on Tues day Surgeon Norris, U. S. A.. long the family physician of Ex-President Johnson in this city, rt ceived a telegram from Mrs. Stover, daughter of Mr. Johnson, dated Greenville, Tennessee, and stating that at noon yesterday the latter was stricken with a paralysis of the right side, and lay Teechless and dangerously ill, and had indicated desire that Dr. Norris be sent for at once. That gentleman left for Greenville at 6 A. M. to day,and will not reach there before Thursday at midnight. On the strength of this telegram, the rumor spread far and wide through the city that the Ex- E'lesident had died, and it was directly asserted that Senators Brownlow and Fowler and Repre ,cntative Stokes had received despatches saying that the Ex-President bad died at 8 A. M. to-day. Uu the strength of this those gentlemen were much worried by inquiries of them, and their de ll lale of any advises only served to utensify the positiveness and di rectness of the reports. it seems, how ver, !hat nothing except the first telegram to Dr. Nerds has been received, and the city has beta left to conjecture and the apprehension in the belief that the ex-President was dead. The liveliest expressions of surprige, sensibility, and regret were indulged, and, in many instances ' of profound personal grief. On the other band, the report was made the subject of poor jokes, brutal felicitations, and open glee, by not a few of the coarser grain of politi cians, and by 1 many women who would be insulted not to be called ladies. In relation to President Johnson's calamitous condition, it can be stated that the stroke of paralysis has been brought about by a complication of diseases of which he was the cheerful and patient sufferer. While here these complaints were stone in the bladder, frequent violent vertigo, and an almost constant neuralgia in the nerves running along and over the right eye. These were a daily source of acute and pro longed pain to the ex-Prosident, yet his robust habit, powerful patience and immense energy , and endurance conquered, at least, the appearance of suffering in his case. Late at nights, however, after the tolls of the sixteen hours of audience to the public were over, your correspondent often, during the past winter, has observed the President suffering keenly, especially from.neuralgia, which repose seemed rather to aggravate, while active work heat it down. Me frequently, at such times, - ''re matted .that tries whirl of excitement and contention Bulled even, his health better than any ryrat could, and that it was requlsltein his CllBO to RI busy to live; On the oecastou of the interview of Nardi Ist, pablished in the World, he- tillSOCh , f prophetically remarked that when he went he expected to o.`all at once and nothing first,"and that he actually dreaded the results of retirement and rest upon his health, because attrition bad done - more - for - his - health and- strength -than any other force. Be said that his body would break before his faculties gave out, but that he did not wish the latter to survive the former, as his capacity for action would be destroyed then, and he could think of no more pitiable object than a ruined body holding an active mind. It le believed here that Mr. Johnson's retirement 'tom the activities of the Presidency has brought on exactly the results he foresaw. LATER.

I have not seen a warm or aline day for the last six weeks. Good claims are few here and the population is large. There is already a great amount of suffering here because the mass of the population cannot get employment until the snow and ice thaws so as to allow prospecting. • A great many Ban PIVDCISCO merchants have lost money here; the market is glutted with goods of all kinds, al though freights are enormous. Chicago has drummers here and next summer will compete with California for the trade of this State. I can not advise any to come out here. Last Tuesday night, at Treasure City, 9,000 feet ab ive the level of the sea, tents, fences and buildings were car rie d away by the winds. I meet many poor cusses in the street on crutches, who have been disabled by the frost. The fact is this is the roughest country I ever saw. There are very rich deposits of silver here, but so far no true defined fissure vein or lode has been discovered. These deposits lie on a limestone base, mixed with reddish ce ment, spar and quartz.
