NEW YORK, January PA letter from
dated January 20. describes the
situation as follows: The arrival of Captain
General Jovellar, go far, produced the
effects expected. True enough, he merits
and enjoys the confidence of all classes
much more than any Captain General since
the outbreak Of the revolution.
But gold has gone up instead Of declining,
and the insurgents are getting up bOnfires
in honor of his arrival, using sugar cane
fields and plantation buildings for the pu--
pose. Every day one OF more plantations
ard. if possessed of common sense, &C.
sOrrowfully the army and Span
sh thinking population are not strong
enough to drive the insurgents out of the
central department.
While every body, with the exception of
the extreme intransigentes of the Cnban
side, and those who are making money are
more anxious some compromise would be
Effected, it is extremely DOUBTFUL whether
"a mi looAarc in tho al
to-day accept q proposition for the autono-
my of the island, if offered by Spain. Lead. |
ing Cubans, who are abroad; will barely be |
listened to- If fighting men are not satisfied |
With any propositions that are made, the |
war will continue until one or the other
lives in.
1t lie asserted Jovellar is authorized to !
make great concessions to the island in |
general, including q general amnesty and |
autonomy.
The planters are ruined; although nomi- |
nslly the possessors of great wealth, they |
are not even making small interest on the |
capital employed in the lands, negroes and |
machinery. The merchants say they will |
be ruined unless the officials again allow |
.muggllng on large scale, the business |
lone in that line being comparatively small |
1t present. few weeks will probably |
