ofncers and twenty eight soldie rs being wounded
BY this relation It Is easily under stood that the re-
few symptoms OF ts existence do not consist IN ITS
resources but In the deceit In which the country
people cnveloped ana made to believe that tney
Will be shot whenever they present themselves to
Spanish authorities the military chiefs and
that this falsenood s vanishing before the humane
conduct observed towards those repentant repel5
who surrender themselves.
Dispatches were received yesterday Dy the govern
ment from General Domingo Dulce, stating az io-

The government s In quandary. The people are
excited and expectant OF some great calamity that
has occurred Cuba and no one dare give uterance
TO their fears or frame their lips 10 say that which
they would like to say. 1t IL ptiable sight indeed
TO behold o nation struggling 20 speak and every
man dumb. Such is the sight spain presents to-day.
Not even the most hydrophoblc radical republican
quotes the teiegrams and say that though the news
ls pregnant with folebodlngs, they know not what
to make OF It, The members of the Cortes asked the
government what 1t all meant; that II it was conye-
nlent to the Executive power the Cortes would like
to know something more about these portentious
kilograms. Poor Admiral Topete, with some
thlng like groan OF despair coming hollowly
rom RON nus bosom, rose up and sald:-Gente-
read read s the kilograms alter alter which You viii know
about 1t as much as the government knows. The
above kilograms were read then expianatoriy
Topete gave his personal opinions about them winch
amount TO no more tnan that ave all know the
high noble qualities OF the Captain General Dulce,
and we may rest assured that the noble patriotism
OF our noble volunteers or liberty In Cuba is un-
equaed; but further we know nothmgo Is IL not
sad thing TO see country IKE Spain tashing itself
10 suffer Tor fifteen days compelling itself TO walt

grams would explain all In two or three days2 II
Spain mad only NEW YORK HERALD, that short,
unsatisfactory, portentlous telegram would never
have been sent without explanations enough to
satisfy all accompanying 1t. rumor is current
to-day that Dulce has had something to do with the
rebels, and that the volunteers did not ike 1t, and
they therefore, without any ceremony, ordered him
to leave.
Cabalero de Rodas left Madrid yesterday for
Cadiz Tomorrow he VIII leave that port on the
steamer Amansa for Havana. Five thousand men
WIN leave IN two or three days alter nm Tor the
same destination. This Gentleman of Rhodes"
for that is the Interpretation OF his euphonious
name, oreathes fire and fury, and cruel murder
glares out OF his cruel eyes, Said he slapp1ng his
hand over his heart II will have nothing to do with
either Spanish Cuban republicans, for was not the
gentleman OF Rhodes born a gentleman ~ Imagine
this man OF destiny sailing now TO Cuba from that
saying Of his The first Caballero de Rodas was
the grandfather Of the present one. The new Cap
tain General ID a soldier OF ability, and ne is
supposed to know military business better than any
DID, OF short and stout proportions, not grossly stout
by any means He s full OF energy; hery, quick In
ming brain tnaD Cabalero dc Rodas but the latter ls
by lar the best soldier. ROdas is supremely proud
and cruel. HIS large, yitreous eyes, could not be
kndled by the light OF mercy. HIS very face
though heavy at the first glance, stamps him as
man who could execute EXTREMIST measures
without remorse. His lips, though not thin
chin is exceedingly protrusive; impertinently SO.
He has a very fixed look and when he
meets a man IN the street he always endeavors
to stare him out Of countenance. The soldiers
and people call him the Butcher" on account Of
Oadiz He rather likes the name than otherwise
and the oftener he hears IL the protrusive his
chin gets and more vitreous his eyes appear. You
Will probably hear something from him when he has
arrived at Cuba.
The government are not all satisfied with the re-
cOgniton OF the Cubans as belgerents by the Peru
vians. Very little has been said yet about It,
telegram from London yesterday announced
that 500 Americans were about to immlgrate TO
Spain for the purpose OF forming a colony. General
Robert f. Lee and several other Confederate gen.
erals are among the number.
