Excitement in Cuban Circles.
The New York Tribune OF September %
contains the following:

The New York Tribune o. September ~
contains the following:
There are several conflicting elements in
the Cuban revolutionary circles of this city.
and heretofore the different factions have
wasted much of their force upon each other.
For time there was q cessation OF hostili-
ties, but the feud appears to have broken
out again. 1t was reported yesterday that
Miguel de Aldama had resigned the general
agency Of the Cuban republic, but the ru-
NOR was denied by that gentleman.
The meeting of the League of the Daugh-
ters of Cuba. one of the factions opposed to
the Aldama party. was held yesterday
morning at No. 2ll East Thirty-tOurth
street, and the following protest was adopt
ed for transmission to the Cubans through
out the country:
THE LEAGUE OF THE DAUGHTERS OF CUBA
TO THE CUBANS.
Countrymen-Long enough have we kept
silence. Long enough have we repressed
in eur bOsOms the Outburst Of indignation
for the iniquities which made Carlos Manuel
de Cespedes the devoted victim. Bot. since
men would not speak, women shall do so.
Several months have passed since "The
New Orleans Cuban Society" entered it's
energetic protest against the arbitrary and
disgraceful removal Of the first president of
the republic of Cuba, and vainly have We
been waiting that among the vast number
uf Cubans prowling in New York . voice
test.
But one only has been heard, and that,
far from answering to the mournful COM
plaint Of the New Orleans patriots, has up.
braided them and charged them with {.
willful purpose of raising factions among
the Cubans, and then scOff them for "beipg
completely blind about the progress of our
revolution and ignorant of the true situa-
ton in Cuba Libre." Nay, it has done worse
vet; it has slandered the New Orleans ar
tisans when it asserts that they, with their
murmuring, have caused "Our enemies to
laugh at u.s." All this notwithstanding,
precisely for this reason, be the consequences
what they may, we protest:
l. Against the unlawful proceedings
which brought about the shameful and in
furious dismissal of President Cespedes.
g. Against the grotesque comedy enacted
at Bljagual de Jiguani ON the third OF Oc-
tober, 1873, and against the injustice done
to the man to whom Cuba will be indebted
for her liberty when che will be free.
g. Against the evil purpose of abandoning
Carlos Manuel dc Cespedes to his fate, so
that the enemy of Cuban liberty might
sprinp upon him and assassinate him.
a. Against the constitution of that snom'
alous Assembly which all the time wields
sovereign power, never granted to 1t by the
people; which, after having been . CON
stitnent Assembly, goes on making laws
and ruling the country; which, being . self.
constituted body, has made itself umpire of
its own Jurisdiction: which is self author
lied to extend its powers according to its
whims; which has grasped at indefinite
faculties, aud is constant menace to the
governments and justice. and perpetual
danger to citizen liberty.
5. Against those who, being the agents
and commissioners of Cuba in this country,
do not give any aid to the liberating army,
and who. as they are not willing or can not
or do not know how to do their duty, insist
upon keeping place that does not belong
80 them.
6. And against the Cuban papers. which
neither publish the truth nor let US hear the
facts which it would be proper that every.
body should be acquainted with, but which
appear devoted to lead astray public
opinion, instead Of setting it right.
The Aldama party say that the League is
Of no account.
