win our GOyernment Recognize the Power of


The New York Tribune Of this morning publishes
the following despatch, which foreshadows new
phase In our policy towards Spain:-


II is understood here that the question has al
ready been raised in regard to Cuba whether since
the virtual deposition of General Dulce by the Spa
nish volunteers there be any colonial government
with which our Consular agents there authorities
mere, can nolu omClal relatOhs The spanish
Minister here Is known TO be very much trou-
bled about the turn OF affairs. Espinar being
only the creature Of mob, it is deemed
questionable at the departments II any issue is made,
whether he should be recognized. The Cuban agents
are not slow to take advantage Of this, as Will be
seen at an early day. They are urgent in pressing
upon prominent persons here that no Government
now exists in Cuba but that Of the Republic It is
ascertained from other than the Cubans that
the Republicans estimate that they have obtained
recruits in the United States, Mexico, and the South
American republics to the nuRber of 5000 men in
all, and that they have been furnished experienced
officers, from the United States alone, sufficient to
command the entire number from the colonel to
the subatern; and also that the aid thus derived
from the countries named is slight compared with
the assistance furnished in the line Of subsistence,
clothing, ammunition, and arms. SO great Is the
az tivity Of the Cubans now In this country and 80
confident are they of speedy success that no Efforts
are now made to furnish special Information, as was
formerly the case, to those in this city who have
been active in support Of their cause


Dulce Considers the Island ;,Lost to the Mother


The great revolt and conspiracy among the
Spanish volunteers broke out in Havana on the 1st
instant.

insults ever uttered against the principal authority
Other volunteers meantime kept running through
the principal streets of the city, calling to arms aud

and other principal points Dnce advised OF tner t
guns to the Palace, as well as $50 men OF the artl

about 10 O'Clock A. M. he appeared on the balcony,
and ordered the commander Of the cavalry to clear
the Plaza and fire If necessary, which the com
mander declined, Notwithstanding his threats to
order him to be shot. Upon finding he could not de-
pend even upon the few men he had round him, he
retired until the next morning, 2d instant, when he
called for the colonies, officers, and sergeants OF
each battalion On their appearance In the parlor
OF the palace he asked them what they wanted.
After a minutes silence of the officers of
the artillery corps replied -"Our desire Is that

ment, and report within forty-eight hours. The
officer objected thus:-"General, that will not satisfy
the II 900 men under arms since last evening. IL
we give them such an answer, they will come here
and compel you to resign by force II necessary,
escence to their wishes, none of them will move"
General Duce then told them in dignfed manner
"When arrived in this island found it in blaze
In leaving it to-day consider it lost to the mother
country. precisely through the same process that
caused the loss OF our other possessions in America
You proclaim the independence OF the island the
moment you decline submission to the lawful repre-
sentative of the National Government You may
retire"

Says correspondence from Havana, June b:-


There is q serious talk among some of the Spa
nards with reference to sounding some OF the more
prominent Cubans, with view to find out If some
arrangement could be hit upon to do away entirely,
not only with the substance, which is already ended,
but with the shadow of Spanish power now still re-
naming in the island. Different Juntas have been
held, and another large is to meet at the Thea
tire Tacon Sunday next, for the purpose Of dis
cussing this project and another (Which meets
with more favor, looking to the government of the
island by the Spanish residents or course these
meetings are it may be said, secret, yet enough is
known OF what goes on inside to form correct OPT
Mons as TO what really these people are aiming at.
The first proposition suggested meets with considera-
BILE opposition because it is believed that, things
have gone far, it win be the next thing to the i'm
possible to bring about conservative state of feel
ing on the part Of the Cubans


Did these men now believe that all could be ar
ranged with the children Of the SOIL the suggestion
here alluded to- would be probably adopted. But
the second idea is already in practical operoon. 1t
is now understood that the Spaniards resident in
Cuba already have the power in their own hands at
least so far as Spain is concerned), and the whole
question is What is to be done to retain it? The
different Governors appointed by Dulce or upon his
recommendation, are to be removed land men, who
are in full sympathy with this idea are to ill their
places. You may soon hear OF the establishment
"a government here independent OF Spain in which
Cubans and colonized Spanards will both partic-
