According to a statement in a New Orleans paper, there
have been serious disturbances in Cuba. It is said that a conspiracy to place the island under Carlist government has been discovered. All the information as yet received will be found in the subjoined extract from the American paper.
"This muchls ascertained—that a conspiracy was detected among the troops and officers of several regiments garrisoning the Moro Castle, through the treachery of one of the individuals implicated. They were, it was supposed, dissatisfied with the removal of General Teem ; but this is all conjecture. The discovery of the treason led to the most vigorous measures on the part of the new Governor, Espeleta, to crush it in the bud. The gates were imme- diately shut upon the regiments in their barracks, and the fiat which they gar- risoned converted into their pinion. Eighty of the ringleaders were seized aud executed on the spot, and as many more detained under arrest, awaiting a con- firmation of their guilt. Firm) the frequent and heavy firing heard from the fat, it was supposed that a severe conflict took place between the conspirators and time Government force. In Ilavannah the disturbance produced among the inhabitants great agitation and excitemeut, heightened by the mystery with which it was shrouded. On the departure of the schooner, all was quiet; the insurrection having been effectually put down by the energy and promptitude of Governor Espeleta."
