On the 18th Of March Generals Hungria and Lu.
ciano went before the National Congress and re.
signed those "ample faculties' that had been en-
trusted to them BY the interior towns But previous
to this the Secretary for the Interior had read to this
body the required message from these generals de-
caratve Of the calamities brought upon the repub-
lie by the administration Of Cabral ana indicative of
the policy to be followed and measures adopted by
the national representation to smeliorate the con-
dition Of the country Subsequent to this Congress
reinvested Generals Hungra and Luciano with these
sample faculties to continue until the arrival and
induction into once OF President Baez. These
acts entirely refute the misrepresentation sent from
this capital to certain journals OF the Island Of Cuba
stating that President Baez would not return to the
republic, but was In Caracoa negotiating with his
enemies on account Of General Hungria's disposi.
ton to himself assume the supreme authority.

time be refuted BY the ocal reports Of the Bolet.

There Is here considerable talk Of the renewal OF
loan that during his previous administration Pres-
dent Baez had concerted. We cannot say what
truth there Is In the report but are inclined TO be-
neve It, In view OF the patriotism and progressive
ideas which special characteristics Of the chief of

action the great elements OF wealth possessed by the
republic evidently for her the Inauguration Of an
era Of well being, public security and general deve-
opment such Is desired by those Of her own sons
free from military turbulence ana ambition.
The tobacco crop In the provinces Of the Obaoc con-
nderably surpasses those of past years. both as to
quantity and quality, despite the fact that very many
Of the cutivators have been away for six months In

Paper money, that had already begun to disappear
IL now almost completely dlscredited. The holders
generally have credited the sums held to the item OF
"prodt and loss.n All commercial transactions are
carried on with specie, though with great dnnculty
and the government does not appear disposed to In
terfere with the issue Of more paper money.
