HAVANA, May 90 1869.
During the week the city has been considerably
agltated by various reports concerning the resigna-
tion OF Dulce. 1t is generally well understood
that he has sent by telegraph TO Madrid his action
therein growing out OF his very feeble health, whic
OF late has alarmed his friends. He nevertheless
keeps about, and to great extent, attends to
his duties 1t is further stated that he has deter
mined to abandon his position. as the volunteers
will not obey him, and he has no force TO compel
them. There are, moreover, many disagreeable
things growing out OF the i'll feeling and insubordi
nation among his officers at various points In
the field. The fact is q complete demoraliza
tion exists, growing out OF the condition OF
affairs here ana the unsettled condition OF matters
in Madrid, and Dulce can do little or nothing He
recently sent Buceta to relieve Latorre Governor OF
Santiago de Cuba; but the latter refused yield the
command on the ground that he was appointed
from Madrid and that the Captain General had no
power to remove him. Lesca has been removed
from the command OF Puerto Principe and Letona Is
appointed IN his place This, however, doubtless
grew out OF Lesca's recent promotion and the desire
OF the Captain General to give HIM an important
command in the Western Department. Indeed. 1t Is
intimated among the well informed that he wishes
TO turn the control OF the island to him.
The financial affairs Of the government here are
a hfa IN
despite OF the wholesale robbery OF absentees carried
on. To nearly all the civil employees and the mill
tary four months pay is due The troops in the field
are, 1t is said suffering ior supplies and through
this is accounted for the ineGiciency OF all opera
tons. The daily expenditure is $1,000 ounces OF
gold (s255,OOo more than 100000 monthly. and
the government finds 1t impossible 10 raise 1.-THE OF
that vast sun.
Various landings OF hliousters or insurgents have
caused much agitation and excitement III the city
during the past week. The details contained IN
the communications OF your correspondents from
otner points III tue island and from Nassau.
The papers here give nothing additional The fol-
lowing IS tod concerning the landing OF the Saliva
dOr:-The war steamer Churruca was on the look
out for the expedition, but the Cubans managed TO
eude her vigilance and that OF other cruisers and
landed. Meanwhile. at a point on the coast some |
volunteers and troops with view OF deceivng the
eXpediLonlsts disguised themselves as insurgents,
they concluded she was the expected vessel and
raised the Cuban nag. The officers OF the war
steamer surprising them psurrents also raised the
1nsurgent banner anu approaching nearer the coast
poured lnto the disguised Spanish camp heavy
charges OF grape anu canister Killing and woundng
a considerable number. the afdir has greatly dis
pleased the Spanish admiral, Who Is accused or
using the necessary vigilance nor aHordlng the need

point upon which the vessel was condemned was the
fact that the OF the passengers did not appear
on the manifest-a thing not required by British
law.
The excitement among the volunteers, caused by
the departure OF these prisoners lasted some hours
and until the Segundo Capo and some OF the otflcers
succeeded In quoting them. But upon being relieved
