all of its legitimate consequences.
If the negro is the ruling power in

Gen. Qlesada's Manifesto.?Gfcri.
Manuel Queeadn, Commandor-in Cliief
of tho Republican Army of tho Island
of Cuba, who arrived in New York
about ten days ago, has publishod an
address to tho people of tho United
States. The General speaks hopofulj
ly of the future, and boldly avows
tbat the Cubans fighting in Cuba have
rrsolved that their country shall soon
bo a freo and independent nation. A
tabular statement of tho strength ot
the liberating army is contained in the
General's manifesto, showing a total
strength of G1,GS8 won, 5,085 ot
whom arc in the Oriente District, 7,531
in the Camaguay, and -17,000 in
Las Villas. Not only have tbo Cubans
an organized army, but they
have also, according to (J on oral Quesada,
in the district occupied by their
troops, churches, schools and manufactories
for the supplying of the material.
lie claims that the Governments
of the United States and Great
Britain arc ignorant of what has happened
in Cuba, in conscquence of the
facility with which 1 ho Spaniards can
disseminato falso news.
Dissknsions in Spain? Madrid is>
now in a condition of chronic ferment
orer the troublesomo vacancy at the
Ksourial. Some new sensation succceda
another daily, and the popular
excitement is kept at fever heat.
The Into sensation is the return of
Montpensier to the capital, and his
quiet resumption of his right as a
Spanish citizen. Gen. Prim lias endeavored
to allay the agitation by
making the public statement in tho
Cortos thai he is opposed to Montpcusicr
lor King, and t lint all tho ministry,
with the exception of Admiral
Topcte, arc of his turn of mind,
This 'has ruffled tho dignity of the
Admiral, lie has tendored his resignation.
and his partisans arc furious
against t he Spanish Premier. Hence.
"another ministerial crisis."
