HAVANA, Jan. %. Shortly after the arrival Of Gen
Carlo from the CincO Villas the Colonels Of Youn-
teers were called together by Gen. De Rodas, who
informed them of the critical situation in Camaguey
md the East and of his intention to march Guai
marc at the head of the Volunteers. The COlonels
greed 10 consult their men, and day or two ago
uOught back suggestion that 20 coo more men from
spain should be called for, declining at the same
irc to move from their present quarters. This is
significant, and Count Yamasedas recent communi-
alton does not mend matters. He denounces the
Jrave and enterprisng Bcnegassi insubordinate,
nd ayows that he did not move to meet Pueblo and
@oy,ncche as ordered TO march in the direction of
huan.aro, becausc he saw no possible chance of sue
Cssg.
lave * from an Official source Of the first impOr-
tance, that the reason Of Gen De Rodass attempt to
move the Volunteers eastward, was a peremptory
order by Cable from the Regents Government for an
interview with Cespedes, in which that leader should
bc offered the autonomy OF the island. As the vOlun
ieeis are too brutal to consent to anything which
may deprive them of their present power Gen De
Rodas would have been wise TO have shjpped them
