THE NEW GOVERNMENT OF CUBA

Concha has resumed the reins of power in Cuba His
inauguration has ELECTED from the Spansrds of Havana
very strong displays of JOY and satisfaction We do
believe that the Cuhans participated in these demonsa-
lions indeed, we learn from of correspondents
that there but three Creole houses which Joined in
the illumination OF the city. would be great error
ascribe to the Creoles such Gnseemy proofs of ser
Witty. Concha is doubtless popular with the Span
iards he possesses many personal qualities is esteemed
honest and faithful Jealous and ambitious But more
than ALL SO far Spaniards concerned he is known
unfriendy the slave trade He repeatedly
declared that the industrial OF the island
increased and that African slaves the only species of
laboers shifted TO the cultivation of Cuba and that owing
the disproporton OF females the supply of slaves can
only be kept up by winkng the trade These are well
known be Conchas real views IL he one of
the FIRST IL The drs of the captansgeneral decline
the doueers which paid former governors each
slave introduced.
In this respect his conduct eontrasied very svorably
with that of his co-revoluonst ODonne who realized
large fortune from these do,csms But still Concha is deep
~ Impressed with the dependence of Cuba slave labor
and had he the power would doubt favor the increase
of the slave population by Importation The handsome
cephon rendered him by the Galatians who slave deal
ers doubt proceeded from the hope of their traffic being
relieved of the shackes and guards imposed it by the
rigid antsave policy of Pezuea.
1t would be strange il the Creoes experienced any Joy in
the restoration of Concha power He has the
their bitterest foe His pride and ambition
centre in Madrid What will be said and thought OF his
administration there him deeply than the
good opinion and esteem Of the people of Cuba. Hence
find him emerging from liberalist revolution in Spain
adopt rigid and retrograde absolutsm in Cuba
Almost his first act TO abolish the single remnant of
freedohe last vestge of political existence permitted
the Cubans For many years there have existed in Cuba
legislative bodies selected in the different Jurisdictions by
the people which charged with duties similar those
performed by old police urieso wit the direction of
all local works, the establishment of schools the making
of roads &c These bodies, styled Jna Fomento
powered to levy upon the property of the citizens to
be expended the objects indicated. Their powers
legislative and without restriction in the sphere al
lowed them.
BY special decree Concha has reduced the Jua Foenfo
from legislative TO mere consultative assembly and d.
rected that the funds under their control shall be admins
tered by the of the island under the direction Of
the capangenera Thus the last right Of the Cypress
ed Cubans stricken down. consQatogy reflection, bow,
ever may be derived from this change. The fear
pressed that the accession of the proesssas to power
Madrid would induce change in the Cuban policy and
lead to reforms and ameoratons that might soften down
the hostility of the Creoe and eradicate the growing dis
affection to the mother country, has been dispeed by the
first of Conchas administration Henceforth there can
be no hope for Cuba but in revolution Let that convc-
ton sink deep into the hearts of the Creoes and their
souls for the day-no far distant, fervently hope
when they will be called upon strike for their ber-
ties.
