Writes correspondent from Havana June 12
The English, French, and American Consuls
are somewhat annoyed at the present situation
They are constantly expecting to be treated to
an entertainment given with tn-pans, old irons,
little music, and few vulgar expressions.
This sort of thing we are expecting to see
every night, as the feeling against these three
officials is very bitter. The Spaniards are much
incensed at the thought of having to give up the
Lowell, and at the representations constantly
made at the palace by the Consul of the United
States, Mr.. Plumb, with reference to American
citizens, who, on some pretext or o.her, are con-
stantly being arrested.
Secretary Fish.
The news circulated freely yesterday that the
Captain General was about to publish a procla-
nation, in which it would be announced that the
insurrection was ended. He received some
unpleasant news from the Spanish Minister
accredited to the American Government re-
| Gently, and fearing action on the part of your
Government he is ready to put forth proclama-
tions by the dozen, if need be- An eXtraordi-
nary confidence is reposed in your Secretary of
State by the Spaniards. Whenever Roberts
sends down something good from Washington,
the name of the American Premier is on all lips.
The intelligence is communicated to the whole

''If the United states Keeps Hands OG.>'
The city newspapers contained few days ago
4 an announcement that a meeting would be held
in the Tacon Theatre to form Casino Peninsu-
lar but the whole matter fell through. The
volunteers were afraid of some trap to catch
FN them, and kept away. The Spaniards, who feel
that these folks carried things with too high
| hand in the Dulce affair." are trying now to get
the volunteers to agree to some plan which will
check the prevalent anarchcal tendencies. But
! 1t is too late.
So long as the United States keeps hands off,
the Spaniards will cherish hope for ''some-
hing to turn up and better their affairs. But
|ht recognition of belligerent rights be pro-
claimed at Washington, then there will center
here" such chaos disorder, and anarchy as will
leave hope behind"
In this last contingency many of the volun-
teers have solemnly sworn that they would put
fire to the town at different points and at one
and the same instant That day is not far off,
yea, it is nigh unto our doors, and worse than
st. Bartholomew's day will then be upon us.
The American Government should see that
strong squadron is near at hand to protect Its
citizens in case of serious emergency.
Two Expeditions Safely Landed.
A despatch dated yesterday, from Washing
ton, states:-
Authentic and very interesting communica-
tions have been received here from the govern
n ment of the republic of Cuba, dated 29th and
- Both of May, and LIST inst They not only con-
II firm the safe arrival of the Nuevas Grandes ex-
pedition, but also contain a minute account of
the important expedition which landed in the
bay of Nipe with arms and munitions of war;
Fl The latter joined the forces of the liberating
army after having twice defeated the enemy who
opposed their march.
The Cuban patriots were never so hopeful as
they are at the present, and are eager to make
good use of the arms and ammunition which
they have received. The American officers who
have gone in the last expeditions to share the
fatigues and glories of the liberating army have
been received by the Cuban Government and by
the patriots, with open arms and with demon
STATIONS of the greatest enthusiasm. Advanta-
geous positions have been assigned to all The
recognition of Cuban belligerent rights by
Mexico has occasioned feeling OF intense salts
