Show WIOR: CUBAN TROUBLES. New York, 16. The Cubans in this city have received information of the uprising of the slaves, on the sugar estates in the district of Marct about forty-five miles from Havana, in the neighborhood of Bahia Honda. The uprising began in the states of Jagmoire, fomented by the poor planters plan-ters who are under the impression that if the slaves should rise in their vicinity vi-cinity the authorities would feel bound to arm the whites to maintain peace at home and thereby preveut them from being sent to fight in the eastern portion of the Island. The Captain General has ordered the troops to the vicinity of the trouble. A Havana letter gives another account ac-count of the attack upon the volunteers volun-teers between Neuvitas and Puerto Principle. It seems upon the arrival of the first band of volunteers at Neu-vitas Neu-vitas they found the railroad leading to Puerto Principle cut and attempted attemp-ted to march to the latter place, when they were attacked by the Cubans losing twenty-five killed and seventy wounded. The remainder returned toNeuvitae. |
