Should this tnrn out to be true It ma; be regarded as one of tbe most important events which bave happened in this island since tiie breaking out of tbe insurrection, Those readers of the Herald who are interested in CuDan attatrs and have followed your correspondence from this Island, are aware that nearly a year intrigues were commenced for tbe elevation of Valmaseda to the ciilct dignity of tbe province.

It was well known that he watt tbe most popular man iu tbe island among the Spanish There were two reasons fortius. He ha 1 been Segun lo Oabo under Lersundl and a support' oi the The Spaniard! here hid never yielded augiit but the coldest allegiance to the revolution, and as now, bine ever wished for and expected the restoration of the Bourbons to tbe tbrone. Vat- i ma i represented this feeling, and at tbe same tiui, tbe to them glorious administration of They have wanted no creature of the revolution to reign over them, and ever since the landtrig oi Dulce nave been troublesome, mutinous and threatening, in tbe second place Valmaseda bus ever been the embodiment of tnelr policy In tbe treatment of the insurrection. This may he summed up in "no communication with the enemy, no quarter, a war of extermination against everything It is kuown bow well Valmaseda has carried out ttlls policy. The power of the Spaulsh element here, organized and centred in the Casino nailol, has been brought to bear In constant efforts for his elevation, and De Colas lis administration has been compelled to keep up a constant struggle against it.

In September last it seemed as if b.v a bold str ke of policy he bad succeed I In winning over tbe Spaniards to his support. He took up the cudgel in defence of the volunteers opainst tbe Universal, a republican journal of Madtid. He published an article In the local papers, over tbe signature of "The First Volun'eer," defending them, and much enthusiasm in his favor was created. A volunteer uniform huh furnished hlui, which he donned, and appeared beiore tbem, musket hand, going through a porrioncf tbe manual, and the ol the celebration In honor of the Virgin of Covadonga was taken advantage of to cement a einlnir good under Handing between them. All this, however, has proved Illusory.

Tho intrigues him did not cease. They could not, for he repr -nm i principles aid ideas antagonistic al to them. Hence they have conquo ed, and in so doing have acquired a over the home government, lilih, it could hardly be supposed, wonld appoiut an Isabetllst to govern this province unless compelled to da so. lhe effect oi tnis change will soon develop itself, and need not speculated upon.

The Iftario Ce la Marina publishes a long editorial on the subject.

It will be recollected thai the British sloop Brltannia. engazed In tho sponging business in the Bahama waters, was, during tne late hurricane, Mown to a point off the coast of Cuba, where she was captured by a Spanish cruiser on suspicloifbf lauding arms lor the insurgents, ilor crew was sent to Havana for trial, and, as we havo recently learned, were acquitted and delivered over to tho British Consul General, iris a curious evidence of the grasping tendencies or Spanish officials In this island that the sloop, Instead of being turned over to her owuers, is retained, having been armed and turned Into a guard boat for preventing the ingress of arms. At latest dates she was in the port of tJiianaja. IKmbtless the Spanish government find this a cheaper method of finding vessels to guard tun coai-t of Cuoa than buying gunboats In New oi k.

(or Ikr lulled WnlfiTbe It lea ol' ClTlllxrd ObserTetl? No UnneceiMirir The following letter hai been received by General McMahon, President of the Cuban Juuta of the United States, 1'roin President Cespsdes, 1 Cubit. The letter la dated at Camaguey, Auguat 32, and reads I have received with the greatest pleasure your letter of the lit of May ol the pr. sent year, iu which you are good enough to inrortn me of the organization or the Cuban League of the United of the objects of the association and of tha sentiments winch animate In favor of the cause which we, Uiefree men of this island, are maintainlug. It is very graUlylng ami slgnifleant to the people of Cuba to know that the League has been established and that you arc Its worthy president, and we hope that It will produce important results for the specdv emancipation of all ie slaves? bork ack ami 'white? who are here fighting to secure the blessings ol modern liberty, following lu tliLa the example of the American States. Believe me, General, tnat the Cubans havo never doubted foi- a moment that the people of the United Mates uro earnest iu behalf 01 the liberty and Independence of Cuba, not with tauding the unfortun.it attitude assumed by their government; nor that tiie dav is near at nuud wlieu puo.lc opinion, omnipotent In all governments purely republican, will compel the adoption of a more natural line of conuuct, ami oue wh eh involves 110 departure lrom the true principles of the great natiou which your government direcis.

For this reason the people of Cuba have not permuted the warmth of their sympathies with the people of the United states to be in tiny manner abated. Hut mat which caucus us the gremest satisfaction Is the Justice which you and your worthy nasi elates have done us, in distinguishing the conduct ol ihe beldgerent Cubans fioru that ol inhuman oppressors, Including even those born ou the soil, wlio tight under the banners of tyranny. 1 sweartoyon. onmyhonor, thatltn ralsc-the calumny with which it is sought to prejudice us berore the Cabinet of Washington, by asserting that wo have Imitated in any respect the atrocities of tho Spaniards. No? a thousand times no! In the very llrst days of the revolution 1 endeavored to moderate the hardships of the war.

On a later occasion I renewed, with great earnestness, my efforts tow ards tke same end. Upon tho consolidation of our republican government it appealed again to that of Spain to abandon a practice revolting to modern civilization rather than oblige us to resort to mcasnres ot' reprisal. No result was obtained. Silcnce or Insult was the sole reply. It was declared that we were rebels, with whom they would hold no Intercourse, except by bulieta.

It would have been shameful to tne Cubans not to i isiisc sucii insolence, Yet, in doing so, lU re has ever been observed all the moderation consistent with tne stem duty imposed on us. If any Cuban oflicer or soldier. In a very few rare cases, has been guilty of excess in any particular, lie has suffered immediately the penalty of dtath: for our government ha- never authorized execution of prisoners taken In arms, except alter formal trial by military court. Ihe Spaniards, on the contrary, mutilate tae dead bodies of those whom they assassinate aud dlrcct their insane fury against peaceful citizen', women, old meu and children, uml hesitate not to dishonor their unhappy victims by practices most foul. The people of unite with the members of the League in the hope that these horrors will soon The Spaniard will be driven from our shores, and our beautiful anil beloved island will take the place among civilized nations to which she has established her claim by murage and long suffering, and by the capacity for self-government i-o steadily developed during her prolonged and honorable struggle.

Our people will alwnvg hold in grateful remembrance the encouragement which they derive from the t'uban League ol the Unit States, and 'rom the American nation In general, to which they are bound by so many ties of brotherhood. I have had the pleasure to transmit ro the Chamber of Representatives, for appropriate action, tho original of your courteous communication. Please have the goodness, General, to offer to your worthy associates the of my highest consideration, and receive the same for yourself. C. M.

A rumor was current yesterday that the Hornet, I which was bo recently seized by the United States government and which was released only a short time ago on heavy bonds for good conduct, is going to make another attempt to reach Cuba with a cargo of aims and ammunition, and a band of a couple of hundred men. Tne chaI racter of tho "Cuban patriots" In this city, however, is by this time so well known that most peoplo are sceptical as to any steps involving actual danger 1 being taken by them. Some or ttiese men iiavo already been too near halter to voluntarily put their necks lu noose again, especially as the so-called revolution is now on Its last and has degenerated Into tho sorriest kind of guerilla warfare.

The story goes that the Hornet la to sail immediately, aud tkat she has already taken 'M to. oi coal aboard. She is known to lie a fast steamer, and could, no doubt, in honorable and energetic hands easily elude the vigilance of the authorities, both of this country and of Spain. She is said to purpose clearing for some South American port. At the last moment the men and other dangerous will be hastily put aboard.

EAST OF THE HI3ICILATE COHEPUOY. i Celebration of the Festival in Thin City. Bereft; it were of a painted hero, America has been plae by the Holy Fathers of tbe Catholic Church under the especial guardianship of the Mother of God, and the festival of the Immaculate Conception of tbe Blessed Virgin, which takes place to-day, is therefore regarded with great importance throughout the country, indeed, the ehtlre Cathoiio world will this day manifest an extraordinary degree of religious interest in honor of the great least. There are very lew holy le tivals occuiriug during the year that elicit a more widespread, uinted and earnest devotional demoust ration than of tiic Immaculate Conception.

The day will be celebrated in this city, and, iiMieed, in all countries, with the customary observii no. s.

Tue deposits and coinage at the Mints in Philadelphia, 8au Francisco, and the Assay Odlco in New l'oik, are worthy of special attention, and prove that inese institutions have well luifl.led their respective duties.

MINKRATj 8PECIMK.VS. A part of the almost daily business of our assay department is to examine und report upon mineral specimens sent or brought from all parts ot the tinted States. This worn is extra oiUcial. but is cheerfully performed as a publio benefit, in cases where a chemical trial is required, there is a moderate charge, which mures to the expunge account of the Mint.

It Is to be regretted, however, that thero Is so little discernment among those wno fancy they have made a discovery, inasmuch as we aro constantly called upon 10 examine stones of the most ordinary character, of no greater value than for building or paving. Onr school teachers or conntiy physicians might, and as a general rule perhaps uiey do, acquire enough of the principles ol m.neralogy and geology to be ot real use to their unlettered neighbors 111 this respect, and save the expensive transmission of boxes of stones over long Hues of travel.

STATISTICAL TlHl.KH. The statistics relating to the deposits of bullion and coinage at the Mint of the United States and branches will be found in tbe tabular statements hereto annexed.

The dinner above alluded to took place at Gould's dining saloon, in Nassau street, yesterday afternoon, between twelve and oue o'clock, aud the "gent" wno consumed the food, to tbe quantity named, was Joliu 0. Tompkins, alias "Hawkshaw." When Tompkins entered the saloon to "cheat out" a dinner he assumed tho most "grandiloquent" airs, aud nigger waiter in a manner most ustoulsiung to that individual's long experience in It transpired after the consumption or the meal that, more thau once during tho proceeding Mr.

Touipklus had great dlilicuity la restraining his legs iroiu finding a resting place on the tab e. A larue number of newspapers tied up lu a bundle seemed to have, in the lead. ng position assigned them, suiue very prominent purpose during the ami the KASY SEt.F-S ATISFIED AIH with which i he couued over the spicy paragraphs oi the Evening Telegram when his tlrst pangs had been allayed was calculated to Int-plre any uninitiated clv.liun that Mr. Tompkins was not. only the author ol all the brilliancies of that brilliant slieei, but that even the cartoon itself was the product ol his satiric peucil.

Another matter which might and must have given rise to the Interesting speculations ol the C.i of Gould's was tho extraordinary rapidity with winch Tompkins in the beginning "got away" with his food, heroin being material for convincing pmvf or the eccentricities of a certain clasi of iluer 'tears, who are, as the world knows atilicti-d with what tho physiciaus call a false appetite. The smile or scli-complaceucy Willi which Mr. Tompkins leisurely returned tho check for $1 45 to tho table alter seemingly saying to Himself, with the philosophy of a gourmand, "cheap ns grass," attracted the especial attention or the sable waiter, who, to use ins own words, on being subsequently interviewed in regard to tho matter, "Golly from dat out. suspeckd dare was someiug wr-iiig."

A lrowning scowl, Indicating the great depth of lore that might bo lot loose If tnerc was only a chanco lor the eruption, sat upon his physiognomy and a tierce glance of the Tompkins eves w.ts now darted at Hie cashier behind tho bar as he modestly awaited the small sum ol 45. Tompkins? Sir, 1 am a Herald reporter, short of change. My lmpecunioslty at the present moment Is attributable to domestic infellcltation aud not at all cognizable to any one except an aunt, who with the waywardness of her sex? mind, reproach isat the farthest limits of my insinuaiory observation? is addicted, alas! to gin." OasijijlK? you say, sir, you wished change? A melancholy a uille ol Indignation was the Tompkins reply. Cashier? $1 45, sir? Tompkins? Sir, do yoa mean to lnsnlt the DION1TY op TUB PRESS Have I not as a nun and a gentleman told you that 1 am utterly deprived ol all cousclonable ability to liquidate liislgulflcant Indebtedness to which lu such a contemptuously shop and trade-like manner you aliudo? tsir, don't $1 46 me, when as tho representative of the greatest paper In the world (1 allude, sir, to the New York Herald), I am, owing to the iraillles or an esteemed, but, alas! an unfortunate relative, lu the melancholy predicament of bankruptcy in m.v monetary inobiltzatory attalrs.

A blank starts did the cashier give at Mr. 'l'omp. klus; but by degrees It seemed to dawn on the nuu ol business that this a case in which the word "beat'' might, without danger of error, be applied. Tompkins? Mr. Bartender, to come down to the level of your poor understanding, and I do not blame yon, my dear sir; no, Tompkins, of tho Herald, never blamed a man for Ills UNCONTROLLAHLK DEFICIENCIES' to comedown, I say, to tho platform on which your menial distortions are malleated, to speak brieily and to the purpose? as to the little obligation? Sir, liang It up.

Cashier (taouginrully and looking hard at Tompkins)? llang It up, did you say. Tompkins? Sir, I spoKO that effect. The cashier, alter making a calculation as to the genuineness of Mr. Tompkins' statements relative to connection with the Herald, retired a. moment from behind the counter and spoke to a gentleman dmiug at one ol tiie tables, and this being done returned to his place at the bar with a malicious smile on his countenance hich boded no good for Mr.

Tompkins. AsuiEii? Are you a reporter on the Herald? Iompkins? Yea, sir. Cashier? You are an impostor, and as such will 1 deal you. Constantiue, can an oillcer Mr. Tompkins hero re forth a of paper and seizing a pencil drew out In the largest sized words a promissory note, with the uddeudum, "or cull at ttie Herald ortlce, where tho MISERABLE, CONTRACTED LIABILITY shall, In tho briefest space of time, be honorably made good, and validly discharge I.

J. T. This documeut, however, was speedily torn up Into small parts, and T. to bo tragic, now conUUimrly drew near to the cashier's ear and whispered into that old ieller, you wouldn't ulay that game, would I'll pay, so help mo if you only let mo off. I was as hungry as a starved hound." Cashier? Vou'ro a swiudler, una you'll leuvo this in charge ol a policeman.

liy this time the odlcor arrived. Mr. Tompkins was placed under arresr. He promised to go along and did. A change had come over the spirit of his dream as wlthlu a lew minutes after ho sioiki betore tlie at tiie 'loinbs 1'olice Court, 'iho charge was preferred.

The property couid noc well oe restored. Tompkins was committed to a cell in the Tomus. A little Inquiry concerning the fellow revealed tho fact that some tunc ago he was out to hang around the JIBKALD otnee, intrusively RKI'RKSKNTlNO HIMSELF A3 A DETECTIVE for the ottlce. That he Is a "beat" ol tno worst description is also true, but he has the art or using consummate "cheek" lu passing himself oil as a reporter among persons who are not familiar with the unobtrusive habits of the members of that profession, it was lor his well-known boasting or his connection with tue Herald oitlce us a deltctive that he was dubbed "Hawkshaw," lu Irony ol the sinecure he possessed. Tin personation ol reporters Is, It Is said, of much more frequent occurrence than Is known in newspaper unices, and the thanks of newspaper men are due to the Messrs.

I will give the main lac the Mohrman case, the one in which murder was committed than your readers may know what beasts In the disguise of men still inhabit the earth, DISCOVERY OP THE DEAD BOOT. Two years ago last September the inhabitants of this quiet city were terribly startled by the report hat the dead body of little gnl.bJrr My mZt had been found a vacant loQ near Intersection of Fifth and Diamond street Investigation proved the body to be that of Mart Mohrman, a little girl living (U the neighborhood Hie most terrible excitement took possession of people; policemen and detectives wero started lr2 all directions In pursuit of suspicious characters? rewards were offered; in fine, every inceptive wag advanced to induco the most thorough search fori the perpetrator of tho foul deed. ran into weeks and weeks into and years, yet tho caso was buried la mystery, and a terrible pall seemed tohave fallen over the inhabitants or the neighborhood.

in the meantime Hanlon, the murderer was' coolly pursuing his occupation as a barber door to the residence of the murdered girl's and had he been content to have rested on what ha had already done he would, in all human have escaped in tins world the reward due his deviiJ i8h crime. ANOTHER ATTEMPT AT OUTRAGE. Tassing along Twelfth street, near Oxford, one! afternoon about a year after the murder, he a number of school children playing la the school" yaid, lie entered and in an authoritative manner told the children to run home, as they had no busl? ness there after school hours.
