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

"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.
A telegram was received to-night at 10 o'clock
from a member of ex President Johnson'sfamily,
dated Greenville, March 25, saying "Our father is
CODfidCrObly better this evening.'
[The above despatch sets at rest the rumors in
dustriously circulated throughout this city by
yesterday's evening papers, that Ex-President
Johnson had died. F—N. Y. World.
WHITE PINE.
The Dark bide of the Now Diggings.
The Gold Hill (Nevada) News contains the fol
lowing:
A gentleman writing from White Pine to a
friend in Shasta county gives the annexed dole
ful narrative for the benefit of those meditating a
visit to that county. If White Pine is only half
as bad as these accounts aver,it is unquestionably
a first-class place—to keep away from:
This is one of the roughest countries I have
ever mot in my travels;it does nothing but snow,
freeze and blow perfect hurricanes all the time.
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.

voice, good style and perfect knowledge of his part
rather distinguished hint above all th 9 others. The cho
ruses, which are all of remarkable ,beauty, were ex
tremely well ' sung by the members of the soetery.
These, with the orchestra, afforded the chief pleasure
