Kulce has issued a procla mation addressed to the volunteers, announcing that he is about to commence a vigorous cam paign against the rebels yet in arms. He tells the volunteersthat they have been misled by the machinations of their enemies, and advises them to remain quiet and obey their superior officers. The cHiecds are greatly alarmed, and intense excitement and agitation prevailed all Jresterday, but partially subsided in the even ng, when it was known that the danger bad been averted iby the firmness of Dulce. The plaus ot the volunteers were discovered early inthe day, and the officers went among the men and exhorted them to abstain from violent acts and obey the authorities, but the.tu fluence of the officers was not strong enough, and it is certain tht tho resolute conduct of Dulce and of ueueral Kspinas, of the regular aiiuy, alone prevented the commiseion of dis craeeiul acts. Tb insurgents had a battle with the troops at Majujiqua, near Hemedios, and de:eated them, capturing the town. Frequent accounts are received ot small engagements in the vicin ity of Trinidad, Cientoegos, and Villa Clara, With results sometimes in favor of the rebel i and sometimes in favor of the troops. The rebels have got possession ot a tui; on the Dameijo river. A despatch from Spain was received yester day, announcing the ornauiaation of a force there of three thousand Cataloniau volunteers for service in Cuba. Havana, Feb. 23 Noon. The city is quiet, nd the volunteers are nuardiug tho streets and walls as usual. The agitation of the last two days has subsided. The Frensa publishes an authentic account of the situation in the Central Department. It says persons living inthe country abandon their houses and estates and take refuse lu the cities. The insurgents are to be found in every pro vince ot the department. They subsist on the country, but take only the property ot Span iards. The rebels in the jurisdiction of Cienfueeos lave artillery, aud their cavelry is well xiounted. The troops sent in pursuit of them mre infantry. The lJrnsa adds tuat it is use less to indulge iu illusions as to the state of affairs in the interior. Wc must acknowledge that the condition of the people could not do worse.

Committee l t'oitlt-rauce. WAPtiiNflTON, Feb. 23. The committee of conferfnee on the constitutional amendment are Mcwp. Stewart, Coukling and Edmunds. The New York Election Frnndi-Report r the Minority. Representative Kerr, on behalf of the minority ol the select committee, confuting ot himself and Mr. Ross, ycs'eiiiay submitted a leport of considerable hiiL'th, which was laid ou the table, and ordered to begprinted with the report of the majority. It controverts most ot t tie conclusions ot the maority, vindicates tho judges ot the courts iu New i'ork, and all their del ks and otlicers against the charge of un lawful or corrupt participation iu or knowkdeo of theullegeo frauds iu the firocuratiou of natu ralization; tml charges that there is no decent or credible testimony taken by the committee which lateus upon them any personal know ledge ot cr connivance in such frauds. It very fully discuss s the testimony on which, these charges auaii.st thc-e officers is based. The minority tiud that great irregularities in the city und Biate of New York have grown up in connection with the- mauner of transacting the business of nuturaliz-itiou, but that these irregularities are clmrgeable to no political party, and were tolerated, established, and practised alike by all parties, and by clerks and judges chosen by both parlies. The minority say that these irregularities demand a li Kislniive remedy by auieuumeuls of the laws, w uich may be easily made, but they earnestly favor (-burletiing the required period of bona fide residence to one year in the country and blx months in the Slate, nud to dipijnsc with the first declaration of inieuliou entirely. In response to the election frauds in the city of New York, they aver that there is a signal failure to connect Willi them and their perpe tration, by testimony worthy of any respsct or belief, either the Democratic party of that city or auy lending or influential member of it; but they do, however, iniuieate in numerous frauds Republicans of cpiui.'leratjle prominence. They allege thiil the testimony shows that great numbers of debased men did i image in the business ot procuring fraudulent naiurulizition certificates, by perjury, and bv deceiving the courts and their ofliccrs; and did also engage in the intamous Uu-iuCiS of voting and repeating, but always as nitre individual criminals, cor rupt and lawless adventurers, ready alike, ana on the same terms, to serve anybody or parly, and having no regard to the bucccps or failure of eitner. They say that these bas men were many times used in the interests of men and combiLntious, but little better than they, of both political patties: but not in the employ ment of the responsible nfid decent men of either party, wiih a very tew exceptions, aud that more ot these exceptions disgrace the Re publican than the Democratic party; that the entire number of frauds proved could not change the result as toa&it ele officer of the city or State declared elected in November last ; that the charges of the majority of corruption, fraud, and violation of the law against tho Democratic patty are wholly unsutalued by the testimony, and retort by referring to iu stances ot aliened Htupendoui irtiutU und out rapes by the Republicans. They alleee, also, that the whole investigation in New York was gotten up by the Union Lengue as a mean, partisau attempt to cn6t odium upon Democrats, and that it was conducted in a spirit of undis guised partisanship, and that the evidence was nil gotten up ana manufactured by hired aud corrupt agents of the League, and in the mnln is discreditable to the League and slanderous and false. Japanese Customs It was regarded by the Japanese authorities as a remarkable concession to the common people that, during the recent procession of the Mikado from the Southern oapital to Yoko hama, they were not only allowed to leave their houses as he passed by, but also, in case of raiD, to elevate their umbrellas. Hitherto, when such journeys were male, the doors of the houses were sealed up, and woe to the man who broke the seal aud went oat while the sacred pageant was passing. The Mikado's entry into Yokohama is thus de scribed by an eye-witness: All preparations were completed by the 24th of November, on the afternoon of wniuh day nearly all Yokohama, ative and foreign, went to the place appointed to witness the specta cle. It was quite a mixed throng. A multi tude of natives lined the Yokaido, while in the principal station a crowd of foreigners English, American, French, and Herman, with not a few Chinese were assembled. Placards were up in conspiouoas places, requesting foreigners not to cheer when the Mikado pas.-ed. After waiting some time we got a Lint that his Majesty was approaching, from the fact that native otiicials came along and required the Japanese, who lined the road, in places eight or ten deep, all to take down their hats from high places and kneel or sqrut down. This they did with dililculty, as more room is needed when people kneel thau when they stand. At length they were all down and quiet, the front rank, at least, with their wooden shoes off. They must not be seen with their shoes or clogs on at such a time. Boon the royal procession came in sight, headed by two men on horseback, one after the other, said to be Haimios. Their saddles and bridles were richly gilded and ornamented, and the riders wore very long hats of the shape seen in pic tures representing such scenes. Their robes, also, were very wide, and long and flowing, made of red aud purple and yellow silk, with a profusion of gilt ornaments. Those that followed on horsebaok, whether Daimois or kuges, were all dressed in the same style, indicating that their rank was the same though their wealth was different. Borne were mere boys, with puny boyish faces, not indi cative of much energy or foroe of character. There were in all about twenty of these mounted nobility iu the procession. After the first two princes, and at intervals, came companies of soldiers, headed by a baud, with native fifes and foreign drums, playing native and foreign music. I doubt much whether such music has been heard for some hundreds of years past. The soldiers wore black ooats and pants, made something after the fashion of foreigners, while their hats and shoes were purely Japanese; the latter were made of straw, and hence their tread was almost noiseless. About the centre of the prooeaaion was the closed chair of the Mikado, richly ornamented and surmounted by a large sold peaoook; bat the curtains were down. It was borne very slowly and solemnly by a nnmber of men wearing swords, aud at their side again walked men of rack, richly dressed. The high chair Lore the Mikado's coat of-arms, and all eyes were attained to pleroe the cur tains, but to no purpose. His Majesty was invisible, as ha would have been had we all, . after the manner the good old times, beeu TUelarnt ion ty 4Jtnrnl (Jrnnt n to cot fined to our honcas, or he t-oufirid to hi raiace in Kioto. While the kox in which b Majesty was supposed to be ws c.rrin I pt, foreigners observed a eouuimlbU il-nr-, the footsteps of the bearers were inauilbl-t, and the natives were almost breathless with awe, inspired by the great occaoiuu. I) it when he was once past, people bfgan to gWe expression to their several opinions, tome deolaring it was a great sell, and others main taining that this show of the royal ohair and its bearers and insignia was all that ooatd have been reasonably expected, and that it was a great step iu advance of anything yet witnessed in Japan. Bo, eutertaining differ ent views of the scene, anil with dUTnrnt impressions and emotions, some on loot and some on horseback, the foreign population aud the native returned to Yokohama, jostling the carriers of royal baggage not a little by the way.
