A SWEET STORY FROM DULCE.
A Washington special says the Span
Ish Minister received last night sub
marine cable dispatch, from General
Dulce, announcing the final suppress
sion of the rebellion in Cuba. 1t Is as
serted by Dulce that only 1900 insur-
gents are under arms in detached bodies
without leaders or concert of action.
The news was submitted to the Beate
Department.. 1t does not receive great
credit here, and is supposed to be pro-
muIgated to discourage American SYM
pathy with Cuba, and deter the hllibus-
tering schemes.
The Cubans here affirm the ability of
their counLrymen to hold out against
the Spaniards for an indefinite time.
They claim that the armed bodies al
legged to be wandering around constitute
a nuecles of the forces to the number of
8 1000 or 10, 600 men, who are working on
farms and plantations, and can be con-
centrated ut any time to strike a deci-
siYe blow.
