HAVANA June a, 1860.
Within few hours grave events have occurred IN
this city, and the island Is at t1s moment without a
legal government. During the past week various
meetings have taken place with view Of compelling
Dulce to relinquish his command. Following these
several oficias calleu upon him and endeavored to
convince him that he ought not to continue, on ac-
count Of his health. At first he resisted, but finally
gave way ana sent telegram 10 Madrid giving in
bis resignation, at the same time stating hat he as
forced to do so. The provisional government at
once appointed Caballero de Rodas, which was tele
graphed and officially announced here, 1t being
understood that Dulce was to remain until
the arrival Of his successor, as Is customary.
day or two later ON order was communicated
to Don Gonzalo Castahon, editor Of La Voz de Cloa,
TO leave the island by the first steamer, as also to
the curate Of Monserrate and Others This was verG

Fifth battalion which Dulce had treated with great
Kindness presented itself to the palace ana stated
that they would not leave until the order was re-

If necessary. Their demands were granted; and
Castanon, supported by Duran Cuervo, both very
hostile to Dulce, found themselves stronger than
ever. Just at this time arrived from the field of
operations in the interior General Pelaez who ac
Cused of 'making money" enough within a few
months to enable him to send $4,000 to Spain and
considered by the volunteers as traitor TO his c0un
try. Meanwhile Peaez had taken refuge on board the
iron-clad Victoria.
The following day the volunteers determined to
gerenade Lesca but the Governor objected fearing
disorders. They were very much incensed at this.
and determined, in their WRATH to demand the head

summon them. Such thing had never happened
here before and 1t caused great alarm among the
citizens. After the volunteers had been formed the
colonel and one soldier from each battalion were
appointed committee to walt on Dulce and demand
that he either deliver up Pelaez or surrender the
command. lie unequiv0caly refused to accede to
the first and to the other endeavored TO persuade
them 70 withdraw It, but to no purpose. lie finally
told them that because he was Spanard and de-
sired to avoid nooding the streets with blood he
they would deeply regret their action, s, along with
the command he surrendered up the last possession
OF Spain In America and that they were the first
who refused to recognize the government OF the
metropolis; that they had practically declared
themselves Independent and had broken the ties Of

The Governor OF Matanzas his Secretary and the

During the celebration consequent on the arrival

ever, favo7s the Prince Of Asturas with regency.
As TO the operations in the interior little Is known
The defeat Of the column escertng the convoy from
Puerto Padre to Tunas is confirmed. It numbered
300 men, OF which $50 were placed hors du combat
and the balance surrendered. In Trinidad there has
been an ARRAY between the regulars and the volun
former Of being robbers. Some Of the volunteers
wero killed and considerable number wounded.
The leading nsurgent cnels are ABOUT uniung tner
forces as fs believed, for the purpose OF attacking
valmaseda or taking possession OF Santiago de Cuba.
The Spanish troops as they arrive here speak very
harshly Of the home government They complain OF
want Of supplies there and state that their suferngs
wcre insupportable In shipping their provisions
and armament they were compelled to do so on
their shoulders, as the government has no means.
The opinion here Is that 1t will be impossible TO
put down the insurrecon In the Eastern Depart

Hayti and ct. Domingo.
