HAVANA, July 10.-The last mail brought the
following advices here to the leaders operating
secretly with Lersundi and others in the Peninsula
:" We are on the eve of losing the Island and may
lose it if Caballero dc Rodas is allowed to have
his own way with you. All the members
of the Provisional Government are under the
impression that cannot hold the island to the end
of the year by force and Prim particularly has
strongly advocated selling it to the United States
ever since the first insurgent movements. From
trustworthy source we are informed that they
intend TO open negotiations with the Government at
Washington, and the arrival Of Dulce at Madrid
will undoubtedly hasten the negotiations Don't
move from the city watch ROdas and his employees
closely and operate boldly as suggested so soon as
the opportunity is afforded you. You can aferward
enter into arrangements with the rebels as already
proposed and thus avoid American Intervention.
The present Government will be oyerthrown by our
people en- masse, on receipt OF intelligence OF your
action in Cuba The Queen will be restored. and IN
the early part of Winter you shall receive troops
enough to regstabsh things in our own way. Inc
destiny of Cuba is in your hands and your future
action will either annex it TO the United States OF
secure it forever to the Crown"
