coss Of the Cuban cause that Admiral Hon, who
commands the American squadron stationed at

lated to impress our people with the idea that the
insurgents are constantly defeated and have no
reasonable prospect Of success. His despatch re-
ceived to-day, for instance. Ia OF the most gloomy
character for the Cubans, predicting their complete
