Acting thus, you will be recognized by the c0un-
try, friends and enemies will admire your virtues,
your Captain General CARAILERd M RopAs.
These proclamations OF the Captain-0 General pro-
numerous illusions made in them TO the patriotism
and seli-aonegaton Of said corps, and the evening
witnessed general Illumination, the volunteer
bands serenadIng his Excelency, and The evening
press Launching forth in lattering praise. The fol-
lowing evening, after partaking Of sumptuous re-
past in the palace, the Captain General accompa-
MED by music, volunteers, rabbe, and torchbearers,
streets, which were most profusely decorated with
the Spanish national colors gracefully festooned.
The Situation of Affairs.
The situation OF affairs in military point OF view
has undergone very little change since my last the
same exaggerated accounts OF insignificant sSr-
mlshes dgnided with the name of battles appear In
daily press of this city and the island generally. BY
the way, speaking OF the press, reminds me tnat
directors Of the fraternity, informed them that they
should refrain from all writing intended TO name or
avoid all articles tending to irritate the women OF
Cuba, as these were almost a unit in favor of the
success of the revolution. lie stated that he had
been Informed while in Spain that many attacks OF
the press had been made upon General Duce, and
that those attacks more than anything tended to
produce the recent lamentable consequences.

United States in regard to the discontinue of the
'Junta Cubana" and the fitting out Of flibusterng
expeditions in New York; and the Journals
drawn along irresstibly with the tide OF pub
lie opinion, launch forth into extravagant
praise of the probity of General Grants ad-
mlnistratlon, which strangely enough they seem

grand police agency, whose sole business is to keep
on the etel nal lookout for all suspected movements
against the national integrity" They claim that
the rebellion is on its last legs, and that nothing
more is needed than to perfect the work already ac
complshed, and restore commerce and industry to
their ancient channels. In view, however, OF the
startling incidents which now and again present
themselves, we are perforce led to believe that the
revolution is far from being 'squelched," and when
we take into consideration the admission OF the

thiIty-three per cent exists among the Spanish
regular troops it robs the fancifu picture they have
so complacently painted of the situation OF a great
deal OF its gliding. "Facts facts, and facts are
