THE SITUATION.

A few days ago three Cubans, who belonged
to party of SO insurgents Of the command of Brgader
Luis Arredondo arrived in this city, They left the dis
trict OF Cenfuegos with the intention OF invading the
Vueta Abajo. The young speak in favorable terms
of the situation in Cuba. They say one can go from
Colon to Baracoa in perfect security by obtaining pass
port from the different Projects OF the Republic along
the route and that il is wholly impossible FOR the Span
ards to triumph They speak also of the respect which
the Congress inspires and mention that it's orders are
implicitly obeyed. The state of the Villas only needs
arms TO give the finishing blow TO Spanish dominion
there The best armed division is that Of saome Her
nandez who operates I'm Remedies. He has Remington
rifles captured from the Spaniards Cavada has been
ordered Camagey The nsurrectonary nucleus OF the
villas in Esprtu santo; numerous parties are operat
ing in the districts of Cienfuegos, villa Clara Trinidad
and sagua. There 10000 armed men in the villas.
The Chinese are reported behaving themselves well
Not one has asked pardon of the Government
CUBAN REPRESENTATION NOT PRACTICABLE.
In a recent debate on Cuba i'll the COrtes,
the Minister OF Colonies sad 81 have as much desire as
any of you seores that the deputies for Cuba should
come especially the estimates for that island are up
for discussion. But do not think the estimates or re-
forms should be suspended because those deputies are
not here senor Benet says that Notwithstanding tie
war elections might be held In the Western Department
agree to this but you know that that war is not only
carried by who have arms in hand, but there Is
another war made in the interests of propagandisIn,
which hinders the holding OF elections Tor the Moment
If the authorities there think such elections may be held,
then let them be held but only when there shall be Sc
crty that none Of the parties nhabting the island shall
be uded TO the end that genuine representation of
the desires of the island may come here.
GEN. QUEsADA ACTING BADLY.
From La Revolucion April @
We do not approve the conduct which is pur-
sued by Gen Quesada with regard to the whole public
press The hostile journals Of Havana print official doc
oh hoy dpclar UpFe
gents but Gen. Quesada does NOT think proper to CON
tradct them. The friendly dailies OF hew-fork copy
aud comment upon these document. Yet Gen. Yuesada
uubcly adyerses "that he Will not deny thllg tat
the public press may say about him" La Reroineon
produces proclamation, extraordinary III KIND IN whch
s is made OF his II asks the General at once 10
put a stop TO these explosions Of admiration by refusing
henceforh his appreciation thereof but ueSad just ~
before, is deaf. ,,,
IL s impossible to be public man and treat the public
press with ddan 1t is Impossible 10 cover up certain
things with all air OF myseTy and 10 give TO others an
exaggerated publicity Gen. Quesada since he arrived
i'm Ihe United States dictated kilograms which gave ev.
ery particular his He came to New YORK ana
spoke with the reporters OF the papers He drew up
manifesto and spoke To the world called meeting, ana
talked 10 the Cubans Notwithstanding he has aiied to
deny the truthfulness of the documents published AT
Havana and New York. Gen. Quesaa, III our opinion,
is acting very badly.
