In its editorial comments upon this telegram and
change Of superior authorities, the Dtarto asserts
that 1t knew beforehand Of the change but re-
Trained from mentioning 1t until properly advised

grant that he is just, honest and capable and un-
doubtedly the government had recommended to
him the early termination OF the struggle in this
island, and to keep moral and national order in q
territory which resents in It's great and COM
pcated interests the idea even OF possible pertur-
baton. This is all that is needed by the
unconditional Spaniards, VINO profess to be-
long to no party, and the arrival OF General
Jovear, who was to sail on the 30th, is now
anxiously expected. Regarding the possible visit
OF the Colonial Minister, the Dtdrio says:-
s.Nothing can be more satisfactory than that the
Minister charged with the welfare OF the island
should come In person TO study Its necessities; !;
that closer acquaintance is not feared but on
the contrary, 1t wishes that the most prominent
men OF all parties should come TO study the ultra
marine spanish provinces the remains OF the vast
empire discovered by Columbus; but these frag-
ments still precious, and not to be left to tie

undoubtedly from the agent OF the conservatives
in Cuba stationed in Madrid, often referred to Of

FAITHFUL EXECUTIVE.
Persons acquainted with General Jovellar assure
your correspondent that he possesses notable ad-
minlstrative and executive qualities; that he is
conscientlously devoted to labor and in the
despatch OF business Will sign nothing at random.
On the contrary he acquants himself thoroughly
with the questions submitted to his decision,
studies them attentively, and only resolves them
when perfectly satisfied Of the correctness OF his
decisions and that they will produce the desired re-
suit. He is not entirely new to this island, having,

lottery. The 'big prize'' OF the conservatists Is
General Jose de la Concha, Marquis OF Havana,
whose appointment was expected by them with
some degree OF probability.
The liberals or republicans are not altogether
discouraged with the turn OF events because they
presume that General Jovear will not be antago-
nistlc to them, but, as the appointee OF the re-
views Time Will tell.

The rebellion, in Its present situation, offers no
important changes. Nothing new OF Importance

the train from Puerto Principe had been attacked
by the insurgents, and the captain commanding
the escort OF the train several soldiers and three
passengers wounded, the ofcer seriously so, Rail-
road communications between Nuevltas and Puerto
Principe have since been attempted, and fears are
entertained in Nuevitas that the insurgents would
attempt an attack on Puerto Principe.
