CuBA.--The Captain General OF Cuba,
resolving still to keep himself before the
world by constantly increasing it's ab-
horrence OF him, has issued new proca-
nation against the insurgents. After
January 18th, he threatens to shoot all
of them he can capture, to imprison for
life all who surrender to Danish white
women found beyond the protection of
his troops, and to put negro women SO
found, in chains. Vamaseda, in short
assumes that SO long as Cuba returns to
Spain the annual revenue expected OF
her, the kings government will not in.
teriere with his tyranny.
Spain is peculiarly unfortunate in the
tenure by which it now holds Cuba.
The homo government cannot spare
forces or money enough to take posses
sion of the island, and has TO depend
upon the aid of Cuban volunteers, who
have shown themselves devoid alike OF
patriotism and of humanly-mere ad-
ventRrers who have no real attachments
either TO Cuba or TO Spain, and who use
the colonial government to further their
own ends. On the other hand, but for
the authority Of the Spanish govern.
ment, this semiindependent island power
could not stand and the people Of Cuba
would sooa- have a republic OF their own,
and doubtless republican freedom would
follow. Thus Spain, desiring emancipa.
tion, indirectly upholds slavery and de-
string justice and peace, efftctually main
tains turbulence and oppression.
Advices just received from, Cuba indi
cate that outrages perpetrated there are
mere Infamous than has been disclosed
by tho telegraph, and that there is moth.
ing there bat a mob government.
