dispatch relating to the Republican Congress
Of Cuba declaring for annexation is dlscredited
here It is known that there is strong arty
among the patriots in favor Of independence,
and that, by general consent, the idea Of an
nexation has not been considered an open
question. Cuban agents here have universal
iy affirmed that the object of the revolution
was to effect the separation from Spain, leay-
ing the annexation project to settle itself when
the island was free. There has been no con-
cealment of belief that, Cuban independence
Won, annexation to the United States would
follow, solicited by the free votes Of the Gu
bans themselves. The great effort OF the pa
triot leaders has been to prevent the agitation
OF this subject. Quesada, reported elected
general-in-chief, is an avowed annexa.ionist
after independence has been secured. Cess
pedes has been placed at the head of the re-
publican government. Advices received by
way OF Florida indicate the safe arrival within
, the patriot lines Of q vessel from New York
loaded with arms and munitions. It is sup
posed to be the Grapeshot."
