WASHINGTON, August 12.—Cuban ad.
vices to the 2d instant state that actiie
preparations have been commenced by
Generals Jordan and Quesada. Sev
eral points on the coast are nowin pos
session of the Cubans, with tower to hold
them against any land force that cab be
brought against them, from which points
they have communication with their
friends in the United States. The Cuban
leaders state that were their rights as
belligerents recognized by the United
States, such would be its effect in Cuba
that in less than thirty days they would
have entire possession of the Island
ontsideof Havana, and that entire pos
session would only be a question of a few
months time. Cubans throughout the
Island are in sympathy with Cespedes'
Government, and the disaffection of the
Spanish trt ops would leave the Spanish
Government, withoutnn army.to oppose
the Cuban armies. • It is reported that
there is a serious difficulty in the volun
teer organization and numbers in the in;
terior are joining the revolutionists with
arms and munitions of ware (
A force of four hundred men were sent
out from St. Jago de Cuba, commanded
by Col. Puello. This force was captured
by Gen. Jordan's troopi. A force sent
out by Gen. Valmazeda to reinforce them
were in turn attacked and defeated with
a loss of half their number.
It is reported that the Spaniard 4 have
been driven out of Cinco Villas district
with severe loss in killed? wounded and
desertions. The Cubans are successful
in every engagement and are now in
possession of the entire territory, the
wealthiest and most productive on the
Island. This increases their strength
and affords facilities for active opera
t.ons, giving them fall supplies for their
army. The Spanish troops are repre
sented to be in such a demoralized con
dition as to be alMost beyond the con
trol of their officers, who are fearful to
trust theta in an engagement. Every
where iritGeneral Jordan's Department
he has solar accomplished his purposes.
His troops are inspirited by their suc
cesses, and he has no doubt of ultimate
triumph.
A cargo of slaves landed in Chico Vil
las District were all captured and at once
liberated by their captors. Their condi
tion is represented as wretched in .the
extreme.

LONDON, August 12.—The Times to-day
has an editorial on the relations between
Great Britain and the United States, sug
gested by the Queen's closing speech.
The writer says: "The Queen's opening
and closing speeches are apparently in
consistent, but the explanation is found
in the fact that the international relations
depend on the reciprocity of the feelings
of the people and not on the negotiations
of their . Ministers. Messrs. Johnson,

Penntylvanla 011 !legions During the
Month of July.
The Titusville • Herald of yesterday
contains the monthly report of petro
leum affairs for July, from which we
make the following extracts;
The production during the month un
der review, as shown by the difference
betiveen the stocks held in the region on
July Ist and. August lat and the ship
ments meantime, was 11,607 barrels of
forty-three gallons, or an increase over
the product during June, as shown by a
revised report fbr that month, of abont
400 barrels. ~ •
There was a cimisiderable increase on
Cherry tree and Upper Cherry ma, along
the Allegheny river, and on the Sots in
the vicinity of Oil City. There was also•
something of an increase in the vicinit y
of Oil City. There was also something
of an increase in the vicinity of Beau
farm, on the Smith farm ancl• the Curtin
trait, Lower Cherry run, and on West
.
Hickory creek.

With the exception of a falling off in
the product of the farms in the Bull Run'
district,. there appears to have been no
decrease of consequence. In the Pleas
antville district there was a slight de
crease. The product as obtained from
the difference between stocks - at the be- .
ginning and close, and the shipments
during the month averaged about 1,200.
barrels daily.
Under continued-large shipments, the
stook WI oil in the rcegAon underwent a
further decrease during July, and on
August let the.total was 370,136 barrels
of forty.three gallons. During thesecond
two-veer:as - of the month the ithipment
was light, and the stock accumulated
rapidly, but during the last week-the
shipments by allrroutee were greatly en
larged.
In the E.Mck onrAugost Ist there were
imluded the amounts in trod tankage
and at the wells, and those-on the hands
