ment of taxes. Tbe bill to renew the charter

In the House, Bowen's special investigating
committee made their report. They show
that the whole bonded debt of the State, in
October, 1868, was $5,407,306 27, exclusive ol
the war debt. To this they add the bonds
issued for the redemption of the bills of the

mak*?)g the old State debt $6,665,856. During
1869 and 1870 there was added the bonds for
tbe redemption of the bills receivable. $500,
000, and the bonds to pay Interest, $500,000,
making the bonded debt in October, 1870,

were in the hands o? the financial agent the
bonds for the relief of the treasury $1.000,000, I
the bonds to pay interest $500,006, and tbe
land commission bonds $700,000, making the
grand total $",665,856 27. This shows only j
. $3,200,000 of new bonds issued up to October,
^ 1870. According U. the sworn statement of I
the treasurer, there are now signed and out- j
standing $9,51-1,000 of new bonis. Deduct

the?e Issues are claimed to hare been
made limit?e the time doris;? which tbe

The proceedings to-day In both bouses of
the general Assembly were of considerable
Importance. In the Senate the following bills,

and provides fora board of three commission?
ers of pilotage in each of the ports named,
which board? shall regulate tbe fees for pilot?
age, and examine, license and supervise all
pilots. It also provides for a three years' ap?
prenticeship for pilots and various other de?
tails, of which most are taken from the exis?
ting laws upon the subject, wit' a few hints
obtained from tbe laws of Nsw York and
otber larger ports.
Mr. Whlttemore gave notice of a bill (already
men i ione J upon Its Introduction in the House)

curity. He also noticed a bill '"To provide for

lina at the State treasury."
The following resolution, offered by Mr. Ar?
nim, was considered undera suspension of the

Carolina in the City of New York.
A long debate was then indulged In over
the report of the finance committee on the
bill to regulate deposits of public moneys by
co icfV treasurers, and the disbuisemeur by
Slate treasurers. Tue report presents a sub
8tiiute for the origil.V bill, and tbe substitute
was considered in d-t-dl and advanced to its
third reading. A considerable amount of other
calendar business was dUpo-ed of, but no final,
action was taken except upon the bill to pro?
hibit the bringing ot paupers Into tbe State,
which was laid on the table, and the resolu?
tion for the General Assembly to take a re?
cess from December 22 to January 5, which
was adopted and to the House for concur?
rence.

riages, a bill to prohibit the sale or spirituous
liquors to habitual drunkards, and a bill to re?

aler, and others. Authority ls granted to sell
lumber, dig phosphates on their-own lands,
and dig out and complete u navigable water
course from the Edlsto River to the Ashley
River; they may also convey fresh water to
Charleston by such means as they may deem
best, and at such lime as may be most practi?
cable; they are authorized to impose such a
toll on vessel?, boats, rafts and barges as may
be deemed proper for the usc of the canal.
The capital stock of the compauv is fixed at
$500.000.
The rest ot the session until three o'clock
was occupied with a debate upon the Senate
bill to regulate the granting of divorces. It
was curious to remark the -number ot mem?
bers who had discovered all at once that this
was a most iniquitous and improper measure,
and it was amusing to listen lo their denun?
cia! ions thereof, I he denunciatory arguments
being drawn apparently from the recent edi?
torial in THK NEWS. Prominent among Hs
opponents was one Bowley, who quoted the
the Levltical law upon the subject, and thun?
dered the tei rors of Mount Sinai upon the un?
happy members and House, who were com
KUed to listen. Finally, the bill was killed
ihe passage by a vote ol' forty-seven to
forty-four of a motion to eliminate \ls enact?
ing clause, and this circumstance must be ac?
cented as encouraging, since lt shows that the
House ls capable of at least a momentary
spasm of decency, when incited thereto by the
remarks ot an Intelligent opposition Journal.

THE KU-KLUX TRIALS.
The Evidence for the Defence-Judge
Carpenter on the Stand-Farther Ac?
tion of the Grand Jury, der.
[SPECIAL TX LEO BAH TO THE NEWS.]
COLUMBIA, Thursday, December 14.
In the ?Bited 8tates Court to-day, the de?
fence placed upon the stand a number of wit?
nesses, who testified lo the great excitement
and fear caused by the organization ot the
negro militia during the last election, and
that much alarm existed among all classes In
Tork County at that time, occasioned by the
apprehension of an outbreak. Judge R. B.
Carpenter, Bill Lindsay, (colored,) and other
witnesses substantiate the statement. The
defence has still other witnesses to examine.
The grand jury to-day found true bills
against John A. Mitchell et al, John Lyttie et
al, and John L. Parker, et al, all of York
County, and cbarged with conspiracy. In the
cases of Bishop Sandifer and William Thomas
son, the grand Jury returned no bill.
Details by Mall.
COLUMBIA, S. C., December 13.
The proceedings In the Ku-Klux Court to?
day have been monotonous, the same ground
having been gone over by the prosecution in
the case of B. H. Mitchell as on yesterday, for
the purpose of proving Borne kind of a con?
spiracy as having existed in York County.
Additional witnesses were called for this pur?
pose, who testified very mach as if they had
great hopes ot creating an impression favora?
ble to themselves, by making statements that
would admit of more than one construction.
Whether or not these witnesses have learned
their lesson well, it appears as if they had tried
very hard to do so. The scrutiny of the coun?
sel for the defence reached the bottom of the
matter, and in every Instance it appeared
upon the cross-examination that there bad ex?
isted, at the time when lt is alleged a secret
organization was formed, a terrible state ot
fear and uncertainty as to security of Ute and
property.
It was shown that numerous gin-houses had
been burned, and in some instances dwellings
and barns had been destroyed by the ruthless
incendiaries. The women of the county were
living In a continued state of uncertainty, and
when the father left his family in the morning
to pursue his dally avocation, the feeling that
he might return to find his dwelling in ashes,
and his family homeless and houseless, accom?
panied him. These are about the tacts that
have been elicited to-day upon the cross-ex?
amination of the witnesses for the prosecu?
tion.
It is under this state of feeling that there
might have been entered into some kind of
concert ot action, In 1868, for mutual protec?
tion against evils, imaginary and real, and at
the best, a very uncertain siate of society; and
it ls this that the government seems inclined
to twist into some kind of conspiracy, so as in
some way to bring lt within the meaning of a
vflgue and uncertain law. It a'so appeared in the .
cross-examination that threats had been made
that York ville would be burned, and that If
tbe election at that time did not go as lt was
decired lt should by the blacks, the rumor was
prevalent there would be a killing which
would embrace all, as lt was expressed, "f.om
th? cradle to the grave."
The prosecution closed during the afternoon,
and the defence was opened by placing upon
the Bland Mrs. Julia Rainey, who not only
verified ihe facts brought out on the cross-ex?
amination concerning the burning of houses
and other property, but Btated that she her
self had thus lost a giu-house and twenty-five
bales ot colton by incendiarism.
At the close of the testimony of Mrs. Rainey,
which produced a profound sensation, the
court adjourned until to-morrow, at eleven !
o'clock.
The defence have many more witnesses to
testify as L? the alarm, and the cause of the 1
alarm, that existed at the time the people took
precautionary measures for gaiety. Among
these witnesses are many persons of more
than local good repute, who are cognizant of
and perfectly familiar with tbe state of affairs
that then existed, and the old saw, that lt is a i
lODg lane thai ha* no turu, now ?lands a very i
good chance of being again verlfied,as the facts
will out. Arnon* the witnesses who have been i
subpoenaed lt Judge R. B. Carp-nter, who had i
Hmple opportunity during the campaign of 1
1870 to observe the condition of the country. i
The Interest manifested in this case does not i
abate, and If anything ih-re was a larger au- i
dlence In tbe court room to-day than on any i
day preceding, and among tbe crowd a num- i
ber of ladles whose attention to the details of i
the evidence was more than observable.
The grand jury returned true bills against
Edward T. Avery and others, Lawson Arm- i
strong and ethers, and Thomas B. Whltesldes
and oin. rs, all charged with conspiracy, and i
all of York County.
FIRE IN YORK COUNTY.-On Monday |morn
Ing lad, about two o'clock, the irjn-house
situated on the plantation In York County be?
longing to our townsman, Mr. W. W. Thom?
son, was burned, aud Hs entire contents de?
stroyed. Th-re were about fifteen bales of
cotton lu the house. The building was broken
open, it is supposed, and the fire started on
the Inside. Ii was evidently the work of an
Incendiary. A few days before the fi e oc?
curred, two negroes were cbarged with steal?
ing cotton from this .house, one of whom
evaded arrest; the other being arrested, gave
bail. Whether there ls proof sufficient to
fasten this crime upon its perpetrators, we
are not Informed. Mr. Thomson's loss is est!
mated at $3500.-Spartanburg Spartan.

THE PRINCE OF AVALES.
THE LATEST REPORTS FROM SAND?
RINGHAM MORE FAVORABLE.
Some Account of the Life of Albert
Edward.
There seems at last to be some hope of the
recovery of the Prince of Wales. The follow?
ing are the latest bulletins received by cable
from Sandringham:
LONDON*, December 14.
Dispatches to noon to-day Indicate a slight
Improvement in the condition of Wales.
SANDRINGHAM, December 14-5 A. M.
Wales ls less restless There is no lacrease
of exhaustion, and he has had some sleep.
LONDON, December 14-2 A. M.
There is a slight change for the belter. The
Prince had comparative quiet last evening,
and the rest last night proved beneficial.
SANDRINGHAM, December 14-8 o'clock.
Wales slept during the night, and lhere ls
Borne abatement of the graver symptoms.
SANDRINGHAM. December 14-Noon.
Wales has been tranquil this morning, and
the gain ot last night, maintained.
SANDRINGHAM, December 14-2.30 P. M.
There ls no further change reported. Hopes
ol recovery are freely expressed.
The Prince's Parentage.
It ls almost supererogatory to stale that thc
{mrents ot the Prince of Wales were her Ma
esty Quee.i Victoria and his late Royal High?
ness Francis Albert, Prince Consort, who was
bv right of bli th Duke of Sixony and Prince
of Coburg and Gotha. He: Majesty is the
daughter of Edwaid. Duke of Kent, fourth
son of George III, and the Ptlncess Victoria
Mary Lonlsa of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld, relict of
the hereditary Prince ol' Lelniniren. Prince
A,bert, affectionately remembered in England
as "The Blame'ess Prince," and a man who
owed bis dignity not so much to rank and
power as to manful worth and irue nobility of
nature, was the second son of Ernest, Duke
of Saxe Coburn Gotha. He was born at Bre?
nan. August 26. 1819. and died, universally li
mented bv thc people of Great Britain, in the
lorty-second year of his age, at London. De?
cember 14,1861. He, too, died of fever, re?
sulting In congestion ol the lungs-the stcry
borne by the cable In detailing the disease of
his oldest son, the Prince of Wales-and -as
buried amid greater m mi festal ions of popular
grief than will probably be chown to the
memory of the preseut heir to the throne of
England. The world is familiar with the
?ombre shadow cast upon the life of Queen
Victoria by the death of her friend and hus?
band the Prince Consort. From the date of
HER MARRIAGE TO THE PRINCE,
February 10th. 1840, to the day of his death,
she had ever found In him a wise counsellor,
a good husband, and a man who busied hlm
selt in endeavoring to gain the directions of
her people and to aid In the advancement ot
a I useiul systems whereby the working clas?
ses and the needy of the metr?poli?, especial?
ly, might be benefited. Upon ihe '-Memorial
Cairo." erected on a high mountain overlook?
ing Balmoral Palace, ia Scotland-the spot,
which he so loved and which haa since been
ever dear to her widowed heart-she bas hid
this Inscription placed : "To ihe beloved mem?
ory of Albert, the great and good Prince Con?
sort, erected by his broken-hearted widow,
VictoriaR. 2lst Augusr, 1862." Many memo?
rials of the Prince Consort were set up
throughout the United Kingdom; but thc no?
blest of them all was the Albert Memorial, or,
as lt is belier known,
THE ALBERT HALL,
erected In London, and which last summer
was Inaugurated with imposing ceremonies,
the Queen Issuing from her melancholy re?
tirement to honor the occasion, which attract?
ed to the edifice an Immense multitude of
people of all ranks and degrees. Her Majesty
nad originally desired tint this memorial
should take the shape of an obelisk, to be
erected in Hyde Park, on or near the sit-* of
Ihe great exhibition of 1851. Shorily ufter,
a committee was appointed to midi her Ma?
jesty's desire, and contributions of money
were sent in-more freely, we are ashamed to
say, than has been shown by our people in the
case of the unfinished shaft, on Monument Lot,
in our city-but, as a suitable block of granite
could not be obtained, the proposal for an
obelisk was given up, and the plan of a me?
morial ti efl 1 was adopted.
THE ROTAL FAMILY.
The children of the Queen and of ihe Prince
Consort are nine in number, all of whom, but
one, are living. These are, In the order of
their birth, first, the Princess Royal Victoria
Adelaide, born November 21, 1840, and mar?
ried to the Crown Prince Frederick William of
Prussia, (the "Unzer Fritz*1 of the late Franco
Prussian war,) of which marriage six children
survive; second, his Royal Highness Albert
Edward, Prince of Wales, born November 9,
1841; third, her Royal Highness Alice Maud
Mary, born April 25,1843, and married July 1,
1862, to Prince Frederick William ol Hesse
Darmstadt, who have issue five children;
fourth. Prince Alfred,'Duke of Edinburgh, Earl
of Kent and Eutl ot Ulster, born August 6,
1844, and now a captain in the roy ul navy; fifth,
her Royal Highness Helena, boru May 25, 1846,
and married July 5, 1866. to Prince Fredei lek
Christian of Schleswig-Holstein Augusten borg,
who have Issue two children; 6th, her Royal
Hig^ ness Louise, born March 18, 1848, who
was married a few months ago to the Marquis
of Lorne; '.'tb, Prince Arthur, (who visited
this country several months ago,) bora May
1, 1850, an 1 who is now a lieutenant in the
Rifle Brlga'e; Sib, Prince Leopold, born April
7, 1853; and. 9tb,- Princess Beatrice, born 14th
April, 1857. It will thus be seen that the royal
family of England ls a large one, entailing
vast expenses upon tne taxpayers of the na?
tion. But lo come, now, to the centrai figure
in this sketch-the man about whose death?
bed so macy solemn responsibilities of tho
future gather, and who in hts death at this
juncture may prove of vastly more importance
than he ever was during his lifetime.
ALBERT EDWARD, PRINCE OF WALES,
was born at Buckinzham Palace, London, on
November Olli, 1841. It has been alleged against
him that he was intellectually deficient; but il
this were so the fault must have lain with his
native mental weakness; tor every opportuul
iv was provided iu his youth to [ repare sud
fit him for the exalted position which, as lt
seemed, he was des.hied to fill in the future.
He received In lils early boyhood a careful ed?
ucational training under the care of compe?
tent masters. His instructors at this period
vrrte thc Rev. Henry M. Birch, rector of Prest?
wich, Mr. Giobs, barrister at law and others.
After studying for a session at Edinburgh, he
entered Christ Church, Oxiord, where be at?
tended the public lectures tor a year. He sf
terwarde went to Cambridge, where, still in
pursuit ot that knowledge which was never to
come to him, he resided, iollowing the usual
university lectures for three or four terms.
In the summer of the year 1860. during the
Presidency of Mr. Buchanan,
THE PRINCE VISITEB THE UNITED STATEV
sin event, \7hlch was attended with an enthusi?
astic deception by the people wherever he
weat. The occurrences connected with that
rlslt are not as far distant In the past but that
the memory of most of ihosa who read these
lines will vividly recall the flattering recep?
tion which met the beardless youth, wno came
to a Republican country, with the prestige
upon him of future sovereignty over a great
and friendly nation. But when the feasting
and revelries-the balls and juuketings- the
speeches and the servilities were over, his
Roya Highness, with the bloom of boyhood
upon hiB face, and reminding men somewhat
ol his noble father in bis lineaments, returned
lo Enga?ito em er upon the-for him-seri?
ous busines of life.
SEEING LIFE.
The earliest assumption of manhood by the
heir-apparent to the English throne wa3 of
that kind which might have been expected la
a man of his birth, ol his opportunities, and of
the traditions ol his cl IFS. In 1858 be had
been gazetted to a colonelcy ia the army, end
after his return from this country, namely, lu
June, 1861, he Joined his regiment In camp at
the Curragh. His life there, sauf the attempts
at reserve which were due to "his high stand?
ing and the restraints imposed upon him by
the watchful supervision of his royal mother,
exerted through his superior officers, was
more of the dllletante and the man of the
world than ot ihe officer who hoped to
become one day a soldier. The tempo?
rary life at camp over, the experimen?
tal colonel ot Huzzars duffed his grnidv unl
torm. and next-still under the inspiration of
his thoughtful mother-turned bis face to the
east, and, accompanied by Dean Stanley, a
competent guide and tutor, he visited Jeru
salem In 1862. In the ensuing year, another
important, but barren and fruitless, step was
taken In the Prince's Hie. As Duke of Corn?
wall he was entitled to the privilege of
A SEAT AMONG THE PEERS
of the United Kingdom in Parliament. In
February. 1863, therefore, he ranged himself
among the members of that honorable body
In the House of Lords. To his lotty title as
Prince of Wales-full of meaning in Hs asso
clatiens-he added, besides that of Duke of |
Cornwall In the peerage of England, tbe un
[ meaning ones of Duke of Rothesay. Baron of
Renfrew, (under which designation he travel?
led In his Journeyings in various lands.) and
Lord cf the Isle in Scotland, and Earl of Dub?
lin and Carrick lo Ireland. As owner of the
Duchy of Corn wall, which ls an appanage of the
Prince ot Wales, he enjoyed the patronage of I
twenty-nine livings, which, with the other
revenues from the' Duchy, give him an income
of more than $300,000 per annum. As Prince
of Wales his annuity on tbe civil list amounted
to $200,000. As colonel and chief of the Rifle
Brigade, (a position equivalent to general,)
and as colonel of the Tenth' Hussars, his In?
come was probably Increased ?15,000 addi?
tional It will thus be seen that the total rev?
enues of the Prince were enormous, and were
In full keeping wltb his rank.
Hts M A rt ?i I AG E.
In 1863, on March 10th, the Prince was mar?
ried to the Princess Alexandra, (born Decem?
ber 1, 1344.) eldest daughter of the King of j
Denmark. The marriage was attended with
feastlngs and testimonials of popular Joy
which were almost without parallel. Tenny?
son celebrated the occa?ion in an eplthalaml
um; the bells of London were set to ringing,
and the Joyous populace strewed the way bf I
the fair DaoMi bride wi'.ii flowers. "Wel?
come, Alexandra," was inscribed everywhere,
and this greeting to thc daughter ol the an?
cient Nurse-Kings was depicted ia the faces of
all that vast multitude, which on that auspi?
cious day filled the thoroughfares of the
British capital. From ihi* marriage five child?
ren were born, whose names we give accord
log to the order of their births: Albert Victor,
born 8th January. 1864; George Frederick,
boru Juoe 3d, 1865; Louise Victoria, born 20lh
of February. 18C7; Victoria Alexandra, born
Joly 6th. 1868; and Maude Charlotte, born No?
vember 26:h, I860.
AFTER MARRIAGE.
Since (he time when, under the auspicious I
circumstances detailed above, the Prince of
Wales cnieied the marriage slate, little of pub- f
Ile inion st attaches tp bis name or works. Ia
1867 he became president of St, Bartholomew's
Hospital, In London-a passive perform mee
which was but a feeble Imitation at best of (he
politic course of his excellent father. Occa?
sionally he was seea on State occasions, a dull,
listless young man who bore his royalty and
Its cares like- a heavy burden. His form was
familiar on Regent street as he walked with a
vacant expression upon lils face, mlldlv puff?
ing at his cigar. The old fatality of his ances?
tors sat heavily upon him-the curse of mental
Imbecility. It ia related of bim that once he
drew from tue London canaille a temporary
outburst of enthusiasm. At a fire In the pub?
lic streets, a spark of his English birth aod
breeding nerving him, he worked at the fire
engines with the rest with true British pluck:
thc noisy mob that to-jay swears that he shall
never seat himself upon the throne ot his an- j
cestors cheered bim as a true Briton; but the
material fire was extinguished, and the mental
spark ot vigor died out with it.
ECHOES OF THE CLUBS.
In this sketch of the Prince of Wales a word
mizht be added upon the subject of his char?
acter as a man-not for the purpose of retail?
ing scandalous chronicles, but in considera?
tion of the fact that much of the political agi?
tation now prevalent In England Is due to the
popular Idea that the heir to the throne of Ed?
ward the Confessor was not a pei son who
could with entire confidence be admitted into
a gentleman's home circle. The echoes from
the clubs connect his name with many scan?
dalous episodes-episodes In which figure the
names ol Mabel Grey, Hortense Schneiderand
Lady Morrlaunt; escapades la the purlieus of
London and liasons oa thecontloent; recitals
of hours spent In the questionable company ol
such dissolute nobles as the Dukes of Has?
tings aud St. Albans, In the Alhambra; and of
nobody koowa who, at Manille and the Cloeerle [
des Lilas, lo Paris. But whatever may be the
truth of these dark insinuations-insinuations
which have more than once taken palpable
chape In print-lt must be mortifying to En?
glishmen of feeling to reflect that among a
vast element ol the British people the senti?
ment was prevalent that upon the tombstone
of the sou of a good mother and of a deco?
rous father, who was perhaps one dav to rule
over them, could not truthfully be Inscribed
the lines of their greatest poet :
And thus he bore without abase
i he grand old name of ajamueman ;
Defamed by every charmin,
And sod d with all Ignoble use.
ORIGIN OF THE ILLNESS.
An A ul li o ri; at Ive lt ?fu tatton of I die Rn- !
mora*-Tue Opening Symptoms.
T.-om the London Times, November 29.]
The illness of hts Royal Highness the Prince
of Wales ls understood to date from his recent
visit to Lord Londesborough. Typbold fever Is j
known to be a zymotic fever, arising usually
Irom a poison generated by sewage. The
more severe effects of this poison are to pro?
duce the lever; Its minor effects are to inouce !
less sei icm forms of constitutional disturb?
ance. Several of the members or the distin?
guished party assembled at Lord Londes
Bon ugh's hou-e, which is in the neighborhood
ol Scarborough, have suffered more or less se?
vere y irom such symptoms. Lord Chester?
field, we regret to learn, bas since his rotura
home boon attacked with typhoid fever In a
very severo form. The symptoms declared
them-clveB somewhat later than was the case
with his Royal Highness the Prince pf Wales,
but the attack is apparently more severe.
Turning to the bulletins which have been re?
ceived from Sandringham, weare reluctantly
obliged to admit (hut, while affording the lull?
est ecope for well founded expectations of a
happy termination, they are such as still lo give
grouuds for anxiety. The attack from the xii st
was sharp, and we know that when a royal
bulletin announces in guarded terras lhat the
fever ls strong and the nights are unquiet,
this Implies that lhere ls more or less cf deliri?
um, and that the affection ls acute. It is
understood that lt has been so with his Royal
H ghncss. On the other hand, there are good
grounds for the moat consolatory reflections
and the most encouraging auticlpallr ns in the
fact that the fever bas now reached the six?
teenth day without any ol those complications
which constitute the real danger of typhoid,
lar more than the uncomplicated disease itself,
even in its strongly developed type?. Again,
although youth is not so marked un advantage
for ibo patient In this disorder as io Its cog?
nate affect ion, typhus, yet lt counts for some?
thing. and as tar as Us influence goes, inclines
the balance always toward a happy, speedy
and unimpeded recovery. It is important to
remember that this fever belongs to the class
which have slated periods of Incubation, vary?
ing very considerably lt is true, and a fixed
course ot days through which they run. In a
very mild case a satisfactory termination
might be expected in twenty-one days; a well
marked attack such as this cannot be expected
to terminate favorably before the twenty
fourth or iwenty-elghih day, or lt may be a lit?
tle later. Thus, then, bulletins of more or less
grave or doubilul character may be expected,
from the nature of thc malady, for perhaps
ten days or a fortnight longer, and .lt ls well
to know this belore hand, luasmucli as lt will
tend to prevent undue anxiety and alarm.

TEE CUBAN REBELS.
HAVANA, December 13.
A document has been issued by prominent
insurgents, who have lately surrendered to the
government, and which ls signed by the two
Recios, Sandivar. several Aqniros, three Bor?
ros, Belancourt, Melchor, Bolnel, two Varo?
nas, and over three thousand two hundred
others of less Importance, dated at Puerto
Principe, and says : "In future we will adhere
to the throne of Spain, and are now disposed
to aid the government. We have seen our
Illusions vanish, because tbe country failed to
support us and foreigners (ailed to send us aid
The government of Spain ls now sufficiently
strong to maintain the Integrity of the territo?
ry." The document further says that the In?
surgents now In the field are mostly negroes
under the leadership of Ignacio Agralonte,
who rebelled against C?spedes. Not a house
ls lett standing In the whole country between
Los Tunas and Movon, and the desolation that
prevails ls terrible. All hopes of the Insur?
gents succeeding, politically, have been given
up. and the destruction ot .the ooun-try has
been rapidly going on. Tbe negroes are
working lo make themselves masters .o? tne
situation, and arc dominant in the districts
lately held by the insurgents. The surrender?
ed Insurgents who signed the document?t
Los Tunas protest against prolongation
of the fight, and consider the salvation
of Ihe country obtained, and look for?
ward to reconstruction and an early peace.
The signers praise tho qualities of
Valinaseda and his police to attract the
Insurgents, and ask the King to make con?
cessions to the Island after peace shall have
been established, remaining as a specialty as
liberal constituents. Thc signers abjure
their past acts, and believe that they repre?
sent the majority of their party, or fifteen
thousand Insurgents, who nave surrendered
during the paqt year in the central depart?
ment of the State, individually and collect?
ively, and that they are ready lo pertorm
whatever duty may be required of them as
good and honest Spaniards.
The Gaceta newspaper publishes the docu?
ment of the surrendered insurgents in Its
edition of to morrow. The document, ls con?
sidered a nure blow to the Insurgents, on ac?
count ol the influence of the signers.
