We need not cite the conspiracies whiclt have oc- curred and been suppressed by the energy of the Spanish population, in corroboration of these views. Nor do we wish to recall to mind the first unsucceas- ful administration of General Dulce, when revolu- ttonary clubs were introduced, political lectures ai- lowed tn cigar manufactories, and journals uphold- ing the independence of the Island were not pro- hibited. These errors produced many parties, who deceptively have been styled “advanced liberals.” ‘The unprudent Generai was guined over by the demonstrations of suc men, and went so far as to have said in a farewell address that wherever le were they ever could counton nim as “one Cuban more. When the §; ih revolution occurred the Mar- quis of Castell Florite ed a conspicuous part, and when tne cry tor lependence followed in this province it was believed that none could have been more apt than him to quell the revolution, owing to his close connection with the new government and his alliance with a Cuban lady. He was expected to have encouraged the liberal ideas, not beyond the limits of good order and public.interest. So far he was welcomed as a saviour. He soon proved to be unequal to the situation. Hoe gave out in his first decree that he was the head of the autonomia and declared that he would estab- lish the government of the country by the land. In another proclamation he declared that the insurrec- ton tn the Western Department was over, when such was not the case; the moral effect of it proved highly injurious to the Spanish cause, Untimited license to the press, heaping the worst insults on our country, with a view to justify the revolution, was only checked when too tate. Asit advocated without disguise the independence, youngsters were promptea ive support to the new flag; the pub- ic mind became restless and divided, and finally it led to assassination and murder, as,for instance, the scenes in Carmen and Figuras streets, at the Louvre Café and in the Villanueva theatre: these were tne resorts of sedition countenanced by Kra- mosio, the common councilman, wile the rebel Nag was waved on the building’stop. Nothing was done by the superior authority to punish these pro- ceedings, nor to prevent a repetition. ‘The duty to put them down feil on the volunteers. Anarchy followed the weak conduct of General Duice, His forty daya’ amnesty curbed the action of the troops; it afforded the time and means to tue enemy to prepare the way for regular organization. ‘The army was neglected and months were lost be- fore the Commander-in-Chief couid obtain any re- ply. Unprovided with munitions, provisions, inedt- cines or clothing, the troops were without the proper elements for defence, and the wounded were unable to recover. Notwithstanding such a line of conduct, the dele- gate of the national government received our ualimit- ed support, being supplied to an unlimited extent with money, men, arms, and all that was needful to COMMROE. Plenty of reinforcements came from Spain; by the expiration of the amnesty mobilized volun- teers were organized; whole columns marched to the field, and when the campaiga might reasonably have been ended with energy the direful system of issuing safe conducts was adopted, enabling mcen- diaries and assassins to assault and insuit their vic- tims with impunity.

The ranks of rebels became stronger and increased, in spite of alt the sacrifices used to annihilate them, Then the coiumn of the artillerists under Colonel Morales de los Rios was recalled from the Central Departinent, although they routed the rebels eleven times with- out losing one soldier. The laurels gained by the brave Colonel inspired feelings of jealousy to Commander-in-Chief Pelaez. The General having left the Arimao road free to rebels of Siguanea, cie- spising tbe good counsel at bis command close by, created an unfavorable feeling, as it rendered the enemy's escape easy and without loss. General Pelaez spurned the testimony of injured witnesses at the trials of rebels, to render their misdeeds uupun- ishabie. All this General Dulce was cognizant of— committees of the people urged thetr complaints, but he never heeded them. Afterwards facts tran- spired, proving that the official orders sent to the commanders of columns and district governors, di- recting them to use all energy and vigor, were secretly annulled.

These atrocities would not have endured had the country districts, and particularly the Cen- tral Department, not been left free to the rebel bands which destroyed them, while the troops and militia were limited to a forced inaction. While this dangerous situation increased public dissatis- faction became developed, and affairs had got to such straits that Dulce himself found the mistrust he had created, so that, after bearing the extraordinary junta of the authorities, he sent in his resignation to the government at Madrid. Just at this juncture both Pelaez and Modet surrendered their offices in the mterior and arrived in Havana. The sad fame attached to the former while in St. Domingo was proven by his conduct in the Central Department of Cuba, and he was afraid to come by way of Clen- fuegos.

The tin- mediate re!inquishient of the command by the Cap- tain General had not been harbored by any yet, although the public mind was quickly afterward pregnant with the idea. General Dulce not being up to events of the moment, lackio both the prudence and the adrottness to vonnoand the circumstances, gave peremptory orders to the reguiar troops to fire upon the unarmed groups. ‘They were not carried out.

The militia then gathered, and, as with the military, the volunteers and their commanders, in one single determination, deter- mined to prevent a confict. by naming committees who with formal respect were to make known to the Captain General the expediency of forthwith surrendering the command of his lawful successor.

AQUATIC. Boat Kace on the Hudsou Between EK. Smith aud J. White—smith the Winner. ‘The second contest between Edward Smith, of the Atlanta Boat Club, and James White, of the Gulick boat Club, came off yesterday afternoon on the Hud- son river, over the same course as that rowed upon by these parties some two weeks since. The result ofthe first race between these two amateurs, in which, by the breaking of a streccher, Smith Lost, not proving satisfactory to the Smith party, a sec- ond match was arranged upon the same terms and subject to the same conditions as the first, Taat the confidence of the friends of Smith in his ability to defeat his opponent on anything Ike equal terms was not misplaced the significant and hollow vic- tory of the winner testifies. The prizes in both instances were the same, consisting of @ purse of $200. Side bets were also made between the members of the rival clubs with the balance of preference in favor of Smith, notwithstanding bia previous defeat. The articles of agreement stipulated that the race should come off between three and four o'clock, but, as usual in adfairs of this kind, it was a good hour later before matters were brought to a crisis, Ata quarter to four o’clock the steamboat P. C. Schultz, Thomas Moore, commander, with a party of avout 200 per- sons, left the dock at the foot of Christopher street, and, it being already quite late, steamed over witn all possible haste im the direction of the course. ‘rms lay in the waters contiguous to the Elysian Fields, and measured a mile and a halt in length, be- gunning at the “new dock” and skirting the shore im the direction of Weehawken, The water was muca smoother than on the day of the first race—a condt- tion of affairs which materially contributed to the excellent time made. ‘The day, too, was beautifully clear and bright, a cool breeze tempering the heat of the sun’s rays and relieving the face trom what other- wise would have been a paintulglare. But littie time was lost in arranging the necessary preliminaries. Both men had taken a preparatory pull, each showing an aimost opposite style to that of lus rival, White was by far the heavier man of the two, and stripped afine specimen of the athlete, His method of row- ing, however, was defective, being stiif and abrupt, and resembling somewhat that of Hamill, save that his strokes were less rapid and he lacked Ha- mill's stroke at the finish. Nevertheless his power- ful frame and superior size promised much for his sta} qualities, and were, doubt the principal grounds for che confidence of his friends. Smich, on the other hand, looked and really was much the lighter man of the two. His form was slender, but lithe and active to a fault. Under the tutelage of the veteran Josh Ward he pulled a long, sweeping, steady stroke, the counterpart of that of the Har- vard crews, and for which they are so justly famous. on board the steamer betting was lively in the extreme, Smith having slightly the cali at odds of ten to nine, On the lower deck two representatives of the “faderland” dispensed cooling Ct es or lager beer to the thirsty crowd over a primitive sort of counter, consisting of a deal board resting on. two barrels. The crowd was quiet and orderly im the extreme, the most captious tailing to discover excuse for complaint. Everything being in readiness the contestants. were called into line, having previously received tn- structions from the referee as to the route to be pur- sued and the manner of turning the stakebout. White won the toss for choice of positions and took the inside. At precisely twenty-turee minutes alter four the word gl was given and the two competi- tors bent to their oars. Smith being the quicker of the two got a little the best of the send oft, but was soon afterwards collared and passed by White, who immediately increased his advantage to more than alength. At this time White was pulling forty-fve and Smith thirty-eight strokes to the minute, the latter pulling well within himself and seemingly content with or indifferent to the lead of his oppo- nent. Off the “long dock” and when almost in con- tact with it an accidentat foul occurred, and both par- ties for an instant ceased their efforts, as if about to return and give up the race. ‘They kept oa, however, Smith reducing the lead of White at every stroke, until, When about 200 yards beyond the place witere the foul occurred, the bout of the former showed im front. At the Weehawken coal dock Smith had a clear lead of six lengths, and at that point the race was virtuaily over. White struggled bravely on, however, gaining a little when his opponent fol- lowed too closely a sudden bend in the snore, bus falling rapidly m rear as soon as Smith perceived his mistake and rectified it, At the stakeboat White was hopelessly.out of the race, turning it a minute and fifteen seconds behind his opponent. who by this lume was nearly 400 yards on his way down the homestretch. Smith here took @ rest, though the shouts of those of his friends who had made time bets soon brought him back to his regular stroke and sent him ahead again faster than ever. As he neared the winning post cheer after cheer greeted him, the crowd on shore catching up the shouts from those on the steamer and making the woods ring again and again with their plaudits. | At four hours, forty-six minutes aud forty seconds Smith crossed the score, winning the race ana purse in the unprecedented time (for that course) of twenty-four minutes and ten seconds. White came in two munutes and tlurty-seven seconds tater, about 700 yards in the rear. Some discussion ensued at the “time”? decision of the referee, whieh was un- questionably wrong by nearly a minute, but there was no appeal from itand as it was, apparently, a mustake the majority acquiesced in tt as cheertully and quietly as could be expected under the cirenm- stances, Dr. Russell Withers and Barney Bigiin acted as judges for Smith and White respectively, and James Delaney as referee. The winning boat was an oid but exceedingly good craft, built by the eminent waterman George Roahr and named after the widely known and veteran aquatic authority, Charles A. Peverelly. White pulied tn the Bonnie, one of Christopier Thorn’s make. ‘thus ended a never-to-be-forgotten race, and one the more worthy of remembrance because of its having been conducted ina manly, straightforward and generous spirit, where merit and merit alone «e- cided its issue. The victor may well be proud of his laurels, fairly and nobly wot The vanquished will suffer nothing from his defeat other than that winet every aonest man feels when he has failed to attain an impossible success. ST. PETER'S PAROCHIAL SCHOAL. The annual exhibition of St. Peter's Parochtat School, under the charge of the Sisters of Charity, took place yesterday afternoon, in the presence of a large number of the members of the congregation. The school numbers about 350 children, all of whom were neatly clothed in white dresses, not all, of course, of expensive material. The exercises, which commenced at three o'clock P. M., were presided over by the Rev. Wm. Quinn, pastor of St. Peter's, assisted by the clergymen of the church. There were also present a large number of the Sisters of Charity, an order which devotes itself so successfully to the education of the children of the poor and middie classes in our large cities. The exercises were varied and ay interesting, Consisting of examin- ations in the rent branches which formed their course of study for the year, such as astronomy, geography, plulosophy, arithmetic, algebra, English grammar. The examination was pleasingly relieved by maste, dialogue and recitation, of a character humorous, grave or religious. At the close of the examination the Rev. Wm. Quinn addressed we pupils expressing his satisfaction, and urging upon them the necessity of devoting the short time that is allowed them to the improvement of their minds and to the formation of the habits of virtue—the |at- ter more essential even than the former. He said that the schools which had been for so many years a heavy burden on the priests in this city wotld no longer be so, for in the last Legislature an act was passed which would provide means to defray ali ex- benses of our schools, “Tt would ask you, dear children, to give three cheers for the Legislature of 1869."" Having concluded his remarks, the reverend gen n distributed a large number of books as pi sto the most successtul and deserving of tha puptis.
