HAVANA, Feb TO- 1870.
The DLrio do IA Mati,sd and otner Journals OF the
city have for the past week been publishing the
docaments recently collected from the estate OF the
Marquis of Santa Lucia by tho division OF oyeneche.
From them the former ciaIns IL Ia shown that the
government oil the so-caled Cuban repubho is an

biancc 70 regular government with the organized
representation Of state Disorder. confusion, ds-
content and faction reveal in all their lines the desire
to command resstence 10 and disposition to ex-
ceed authority. While this is u strained conclusion
such as I'M enemy would arrive at. there is u shadow
OF truth IN the Indication oi the documents and Ia
The fact. Spain has had the tutorage of the Cubans
for some centuries, and silo nas not been careful
TO instruct them In the art OF government. and

taeeous circumstances mistakes. differences OF
opinion and disscnsons should arisc. Tnat these
likely 10 prove fatal 10 ine Cuban cause, or. indeed,
very dangerous, Is not Indicated III thta captured

no consequences to those only interested IN the re-
suit ot cveuts. They confirm what already
known, that the differences between tue
Ouoans grew out OF The lac, that many were
opposed TO the inauguration OF the revolution
OF 1868 on the ground that sufficient preparation
had not been made, and. secondly. the apponsment
of Quesada as C0mniander. IN Chief Cnef Of those

since. and though perhaps ms patriotism cannot be
questioned by hts dissatisfaction and intr.,les nc
has much retarded the success OF the cause. IL Is
now evident That the appointments OF Quesada W as
a mistake. Not only Napoleon Arrange, but large
number or the more sagacious ana influential
Cubans OF Camasney were opposed to him. Wan

these troubles ends with the deposition OF Quesada.
