Among some who friendly TO the Captain-Gen-
eral there is pallating idea that by killing one
man who would have been put to death in spite of
him, he saved other lives beside hls own When ali
premises are so wrong they generally in Span
isb provinces perhaps there is comparative truth
in this: but Northern lOokers-on there was little
in the Executive crisis here that of high moral
courage might not have ridden over rough shod.

There are no opinions in Havana concerning this
specimen of heroic literature. Men smile, and some
wink, and some shake their heads, and great many
say nothing. The newspapers write fierce or
pompous bos usual. if you will allow that express
sive word. But the truth is that Dulce is not essen
italy any better than the rest of his kind. lie has
quite gone to the volunteers, and the war is to
be managed on volunteer principles, the nature Of
which you know.
But people doubt the heariness of the reconcilia
ton. The volunteers and veterans have been
promising themselves that CaballerO de ROdas would
come, a man after their own hearts, hombre dc

a young veteran hungry after and duels, and

On the 18th while lying In the Bahaman waters, the

preveuted by the advice or remonstrance OF some OF
his officers On being warned that he was insulting
the American flag he his representative declared
that he did not caTe il his duty to take the brig
and he was bound TO have it. 1t was supposed that
the ,ll 0otten prize would be brought to Havana.
Gov Walker of the Bahamas is believed to have
made indignant representations respecting the out
race and the consular representative of the United
States is no less earnest in demanding that justice be
