HAVANA, June s.--Ever since the FIRST |
movements have been made In the plot for |
the reinstatement Of Isabella, emsaries |
have been at work here sowing distrust,
suspicion aud dislike. Tee volunteers pre- |
sented fair subjects for the exercise Of Sc |
ductive wiles, and turbulent and disorder |
ly as they by nature are, they soon gave in |
to the urgings Of seditious teaching, and |
for months have been at issue with the su- /
thorities. 1t became evident at the time |
of the Villanueya and Louvre masslcres, |
aud has been growing worse ever since
They have presumed to dictate the dispOsi. |
ton TO bs made Of prisOners-they have |
claimed the duty Of garrisoniDg the ports
Of Havana, and have refused to yield them
up to regulars. They have formed juuias
and dictated military operations. They
have forced the Captain General to resort |
to stratagem to save the lives Of innocent
men; aud finally, to give the crowning point
to a long list OF usurpatiOns, they deposed
the Captain. General of the Island and his
subordinates in the various districts under
his sway.
The late Governor Of Matanzas, Brigadier
Lopez Pinto, was for years an exile In
France, having fallen under the disfayOrs Of
the gentle NsrvaeZ. A change in rulers
aud the triumph of bis peculiar creed
brought him to the surface again and as
reEaId for years Of neglect and for good
service rendered in the revolution he was
advanced to the post Of Brigadler and or
dered to this island An intimate friend
CT Dulce he was at once assigned by him
to the command OF the MatatzIs district,
| which in some respects is second in impor-
tance only TO Havana. During his stay
there he has gained the good will Of the
worthy portion of the citizens for his aff,-
bility aud humanity, and the i'll will Of the
volunteers for the possession of these ques-
| tiOnabe virtues. Some time ago q certain
Desplu was arrested for alleged completely
| in the insurrect ton, aud having made him
| self Otherwise obnoxious to the volunteers
they we're clamOrOus for bis life. TIE Gov
| ernor interDosed a firm refusal OF their de-
mAnds and secretly sent him TO Havana,
where he was securely locked up and, II
may be, is here yet. This action, which
some would consider praiseworthy, was re-
| girded by the volunteers as treason against
themselves and against Spanish ideas. Cor
diality continued, bat 9 storm was bre wing.
| The occasion at last came. Dulce was over
thrown. The heroes of Villanueva had
made q step forward and their e0ntrTeS Of
MatanZas must follow.
Dalce fell at | / o'clock on the morning
of the I'd inst. The news was flashed to
every point Of the island, and the Junta
Salvadora of Havana sent orders to its
branch JuBta AataLzrs TO keep the good
work gIing on. Ii needed no spur to urge
them on. The object to be gained was in
formally made known, and q Committee,
composed of the field and staff officers Of
the volunteers. was named to wait upon
the Governor with an intimation that his
withdrawal was desirable. The news that
such a movement was going on attracted
large crowl Is to the palace and the plaza
which directly fronts the building. by III
or II O'Clock dense, surging crowd-soms
, in uniform, others veritable des mizdd0S

the palace, aud in the adj AGENT cafes.
Though there was not the same noisy and
obscene turbulence which characteriZs I'd the
movement in Havana, there was manif st a

Governor, and he is instructed to act in &C

II Is fair to say that neither IN MGtaBZ 4
& nor Havana was any blood shed or violenei
done. The removals were effected in thi
= midst OF excitement, it Is true, but are III
stained by any excesses.
These actions are not to be mistaken
I. They contain more than the mere ebullitiO
of revolutionary feelings. They are mani
g festations of hostility TO the existing Gov
d ernment in Spain, and are aimed sgains
its stability. The cry is now against al
employees who have been named by Duic'
a Srrrano, Prim, SC. Gems. Letona an,
Buceta are 10 be relieved.
The question now presents itself: VIII
Is the master-power Of all this turbulence
In whose interest is it done, and at who's
promptings - Circumstances all inclin
;, me to the full conviction that they are th
manifestations Of a Bourbon conspiracy
'e the effects Of which will soon be felt in tn
mother country.
