CAPTAIN. General Dulce has the reputation
of Ss;nq a prudent judlcious officer; but ne IS
cursed with subord'nates who are as nj 10 De
trusted with power in this crisis as money
vould be with a lighted candle IN o powder
magazine. IF he have any control whatever
over the Spanish naval officers in the West
India souadron, h, cannot safely lose one hour
in usiue it, We have hardly had time TO re-
ceive the DC ticulars OF the late outrage on an
Americ IN vessel, till the Nassau Herald comes
with details of yet more wanton and foolhardy
performance. Not satisfied with their excellent
prospeot of embroiling their governmeatlnl It's
t;me OF distress with the United States, they
have now coutrived to offer an equal OF greater
indiepity to Ct-eat Britain. Pursuing vessel
into a British harbor, they first insisted on
their fight to search it, aud then absolutely
landed detachment of marines, and secured
the island for the crew Of Cuban privateer
that had the day before, been driven upon the
reel. The Nassau paper speaks under par-
-donable excitement in pronouncinz this " no.
thing short of a declaration OF war against
Great Britain" and assuming that "it seals
the fate of Cuba ;" but certainly no more mar.
yellous example of audacious folly has markee
the annals OF the Spanish navy in Western
waters. The violation OF international Law
is so palpable that ii cannot BIO regarded a.
other than intentional aud deliberate.
The progress Of the Cuban revolution
commented upon in the New York Tribune
Since its inception it has received no on
serious defeat, but on the contrary has dali
enlarged it's active boundaries and NOR
seriously imperllled the Spanish rule. In
Provisional Government of Cuba is at this mo
mcnt master OF at least three.ffths OF the en-
tire area of the island; it commands all the 10
terror lines of communi .ation within the rsyo
lutionizsa territory; it threatens the control o
the Spaniards over the remaining two-tifths; l
has confined the troops operating against then
chiefly to the scaboard aud 10 tho walls OF
few wprincipal towns;it has an organized semi
military government, whose authority IS readl
and seriously respected by the people; it mas to
day an army of over4O 900 men in the field, ant
could easily double that number if III posses
sion Of srms and proper equipments. So mucl
the revolution has practically accomplished. I
has in rexlity done much more, Tor from tn
outset it has established the policy OF emanci
patton and full enfranchisement of all its citi
gems as it's purpose. The moral value of thi
unqualified position has been immense. Their
is another notable feature in the success 30 fa
achieved. II is that it has been gained by th'
almost unaided e1ertions of the Cubans them
selves. In spite Of all reports, there hat
been but very slight aid given from the out
side, either f.om our shores or other of thu
neighborine American States.
