The Cubans retain their position in the siege before Puerto Principe. The troops under Gen. Faguerro, of Gen. Jor dan's command,' occupying a position some forty miles from St. Jago de Cuba, were attacked on the 12th by Spanish forces of over 1,200, and said to have been commanded ny Gen. inVelma se(' a person. After three hours' fight ing the Spaniards were compelled to give up the attack. Next day, having been rein2orced. the Spanish General renewed the attack with great vigor. Three assaulhs were:made on theCnban position, but in each the Spaniards , were repulsed. In the last , attack• their loss was so great that they were compelled to precipitate a retreat. Gen. Jordan participated in ' the second day's . tight. The loss of Cu. bane is set down at sixty-two killed and - wounded. Among the killed were two ' officers. The Spanish loss is reported to have been- over three hundred. They media good their retreat to St. Jago.

The Secretary of the Treasury to-day decided to permit the substitution of ten-forties for five-twenties. or the ex change of any gold bearing bonds now held as security for circulating notes on 1 , the basis hitherto adopted, the ten-forties to be received at eighty-five per cent. of their par value, and all other gold bear ing bonds at ninety per cent. Six per cent. currency bonds issued by the United States to the Pacific Railroad will not be rimived as security for the cirou .l lation of national banks, and the, ex change of the gold bearing bonds is sub ject hereafter to revision, if it shall be found,: that such exchanges are so fre quent'an to become onerous to De partment.

The impression at the. Treasury is that it will go lower. This seems to be founded on the fact that United States bonds have advanced in 'Europe in consequence of - the favor able exhibit of Secretary Boutwell's financial management, and that by the time there is a demand for the shipment of gold the crops will be ready to bring into market.

The Compromise on the Irish Church MR Agreed to by the Commons—The Colliery Disaster—Advice, hem South Atuerlea—Spanish Officers Exiled for Fomenting Insurrection. - (By Telenabb to Um Milburn' easetto.l GREAT BRITAIN. LONDof, July 22.—The compromise on the Irish Church bill was the result- of fear on the part of the Peers of the °tinge quences threatened by a collision of the two Houses of Parliament. Last night the Tory Lords held a large meeting at a private residence, and resolved to re pudiate the Marquis of Salisbury, and put themselves under the lead of Lord Cairns. The latter was 'authorized to make peace with the Ministry and ex press the willln guess of the Peers toyield. To-day Lord Cairns sought an inter view with Earl Granville, and gave In the submission of the Peers, whereupon the Cabinet agreed to the compromise an nounced to-night- The prompt and loud expressions of popular indignation terri fied the Lords, and thus has been post poned for a while the threatened agita lion. LONDON, July 23.—There was a full at tendance of members and spectators in the House of Commons this evening. When Mr. Gladstone rose to speak he was greeted with great cheering. Un der a heavy sense of responsibility, but with profound isatislactioa, he moved that the House agree to the amendments inserted yesterday, without exception or reservation. He called attention to the excision from the preamble of the words specifying the appropriation of surplus, but as the point was better indicated in the bill he thought it would be invidi- Os and unnecessary to require a theo retical and abstract declaration in the preamble. The reinsertion Or date of 1871 was not a token of vic tory, but an indication of the joint and (harmonious working of the Houses. He reviewed the other amendments which had met with objection, and said the sub stance of the Government proposals had remained Virtually unaltered. He asked the Henget° discard every word that might have been uttered tending to em bitter the questiomand he apologized for any warmth of feeling that he might have shown. He congratulated the House on_the satisfabtory settlement which had baerkarrived at and pralaed thiiihility and moderation with Which the'debatea had been_tonducted /*I Granville and radreetelitit''''"'"T Sir Roundell Palmer,` - tiltintbp r for Richmond, approved , t he course vdkich had been taken. It was honorable and , fair to both sides. The point agreed upon was one which all must accept. In case of an adverse decision we must bow to the superior force of those who con trol events, and when that time hascome it is folly not to see and acknowledge the fact. He thought the compromise was substantially a concession to the Church, and concluded his speech with * com pliment to Mr. Gladstone on the tone and temper of the debate. Right Hon. Mr. `D'lsraeli said that when the difference between the Houses was only a matter of detail, he felt that a delay in the settlement was only of doubtful advantage, and might result in disasters and difficulties of ad inconsid erable kind. The compromise was not an unconditional surrender. The most essential points in the amendmenti had been assented , to, and be , thought that the House and the country would deem the compromise fair and just. He hoped that the present would be the last occasion when political circumstances would be dealt with by abstract principles. We bad been on the eve of a collision, occasioned by a mis understanding tween the two Houses, at a time when each had deported itself in a manner to show the possession of the confidence and satisfaction of the country. Surely all would hall with satisfaction and ratify with pleasure the settlement arrived at as satisfactory and sta:estiaanlike. After the conclusion of Mr. D'lsmell'a speech, the arrangements were agreed to without division. The result was re ceived with great cheering.
