The Cuban PFisOners--Oflicial Dispatches
 at Washington.


 at Washington.
 The Philadelphia Inquirer learns from Washing ton that dispatches have been received from Cuba by the Ohio, and of highly interesting character. The two American sloops of war cruizing of that port would remain unti the arrival of Comm. Me- Keever in the Congress. The prisoners, in all. do not unt te 50 in number, and Geu. Armijo |sumes a sort Of independent control of them. The Inquirer thinks it Is probable that Ihe Cuban au thorities procrastIuang the sair. with the ob- j-ct Of hearing from Spain. No other reasonable cause can be eivev for this delay. The eOrrespOn dent of the North American, however. con- eudes that Count AIcoy desire their execution if possible, and only daIIies vita our Government To what is its ultimate temper in the matter. and if lac dare do the deed. He we'll says that il Is time for us to lis,en to more distinguished ussuran- ees' and plausible words, but to demand action and lhave tt
 We iud, in another of our exchanges of the 2d, that the Government had taken the important step in disPa,ching the United States steamer Vixen. having board Com Morris, on q special mission to Caba, to demand the immediate release of the Coutoy prisoners, and permission for the Consul to see that they are properly treated.
