THE CUBAN REYOLUTION.
General Du1ce and the spaniards In
Cuba-How he Came to Resign.

General Dulce and the spaniards In
Cuba-How he Came to Resign.
"Quasimodo" writes the New York Times that
there are no indications Of a speedy conclu-
sion to the war in Cuba. Quesada holds his
own, and now that he has plenty Of frst-class
armament and superb 1ity Of ammunition,
men being abundant according 10 the acknowl-
edgments Of the insurgents themselves, he
ought to be able to dsfeat the troops in few
weeks at the utmost. The correspondent says
that Dulce was very unwilling to give in to the
volunteers. He behaved himself nobly, and
only gave in when he realized that further re-
sistance could only result in bloodshed and the
murder of innocent persons. To the praise Of
the volunteers, however, it must be said that
they accomplished the revolution and it's OBJ
ject without committing the slightest depre-
da:ion or insulting any one. The whole city
was perfectly quiet. A correspondent Of the
New York Journal Of Commerce. in letter
dated Havana, June s, gives the following in
terestipg particulars OF the deposition Of Cen
eral Dulce:
During the night Of the LIST the palace was
volunteers. demanding the withdrawal OF Gen.
eral Dulce, or his life. Several commissions
during the night entered the palace with
threatening words to intimidate the veteran.
He sent for his cavalry and the civil pol
and gave orders to clear the public square in
front Of the palace. These orders it was i'm
possible to execute, as many Of his best troops
had become demoralized with the fever OF ln-
subordlnation, and the bare handful OF two or
three hundred that remained faithful would
have been destroyed in moment II The move
ment had been attempted. His best friends
were compelled, therefore, to dIsobey his Or
ders, for his sake. as well as to prevent the
flow OF blood.
At nine in the morning Of the I'd Of June.
General Dulce, in view OF tho violence sur.
rounding him, and to save other lite than his
own, consented to resign his authority into
the hands Of his second in command, which
he did in presence OF snpl eme munlcioal couu-
Gil, (Ayuntsmiente) making an eloquent pro-
test against this outrage upon The law, order
and tho national authority. which the volun.
teers pretended to vindicate. He said that 1t
was by such disgraceful insubordination that
Spain had lost all OF her vast possessions In
America-by treason and her sons, not her en-
,m,es.
The old officers Of the regular service (of
whom all that could had gathered at the pal
ace) denounced in most bitter terms the course
OF the mutineers who had forced this upon
General Dulce-and many tears were shed.
The second 10 command was not permitted to
resign, but f)rced to take of1ce-in order that
the mutineers might present an appearance OF
compliance with law, which in reality had no
existence.
The government which We now have lives
only by the will of the Spanish residents. No
Cubans have been called to council with them.
The bishop Of the diocese was captured at Be-
jucll while On his tour OF church visits, and
carried to San Antonio de las Vegas, where he
was placed in prison. he arrived here under q
guard OF volunteers on the 4.h.
The Cuban Bonds.
A Washington telegram Says:
The Cuban insurgents here estimate that in
all. ue to the present time, the insurgent
ranks have been strengthened by the accession
of about five thousand flibusters, belonging
Tor the most part to the United States and the
South American Republics. They congratu-
late themselves on the fact that the revolution
lists have not, 80 far, been obliged to place
their bonds on the market, owing to the fact
tbat the liberal Donations Of the wealthy Gu
bans have been more than sufficient to pur-
chase all the munitions OF war. The bonds
have been all taken up by these gentlemen.
aud it is stated that the patriot treasury is
not likely to be 2tied for some time to come.
Early Recognition OF the Cuban Gov
Dulce.
The Washington correspondent Of the Her
aid writes
MIR. Ruiz, secretary Of Mr.. Lemus, the Cuban
envoy, has returned to this city, and since the
news Of the volunteer revolution has been very
active and pressing for the recognition OF the
Cuban Government by the United States. He
had long interview yesterday with Secretary
Fish, and mads some important disclosures
calculated to hasten favorable action by our
government. Mr.. Ruiz also urged the Secre-
tary that the opportunity furnished by Dulces
resignation under duress, and the extraordi-
nary state Of affairs resulting from the course
pursued by the volunteers, was the most favor
able that could possibly be presented for en-
abling the United States to promptly RECOGNIZE
the Cubans. BE urged that, in point Of fact,
Spanish domination in the island had been
whatever it might have been before, the
Cuban Government de faclo was the strong.
est. The volunteers were, he said, divided
and uncertain, whils the patriot government
and army we're united and determined on their
course. Under the circumstances, therefore,
our government was relieved from the embar
rassments in tho way Of recognition while
Dulce supported the Spanish sway in Cuba.
MIR. Fish conceded that the state of affairs now
existing in Cuba was anomalous. and gave an
entirely differe 1T aspect TO the whole question.
He promised Mr. Raiz to give his suggestions
the most careful consideration and attention,
and intimated that he would be prepared with
an answer in the course of few days. Mr.
Ruiz is quite sanguine that at last the United
States ill concede belligerent rights and for
NAL recognition to the Cubans. The friends
and sympathisers Of Cuba are jubllant, and tar
from curslng Dulce and the volunteers, are
blessing them for the violence and madness
which promise 80 taVorably for the patriot
cause. Look out for recognition before many
days.
