P0ET0 MCO. POLITICAL COSDirZ02T OF TEX island. tbb coaroccT or otx. su.u rxitrirG of THE KATITg A KrVOI-trritKff THXZAI- cw Hxtaxa, Saturday, alarch 21, 1874. General attention haa alwyn been drawn to tba Island ef Caba of lata year becaua of Hi aetnal atata of war exiating within ita bormdaric.

Thereibre, but little bed waa paid to Porta Rico, tts anrter island, uffexing nmler the aaroa horrfble tyranny aa Cuba, th otrt- break and coMpiracy at Larea baring been tbe only tangible fact to prova that Porto Eicana and Cubans think: alike aad ar equally anxious to ahake off tbe bated yoke of Spain. Sisoa 1869 tba Porto Biean bar been quietly at work perfecting their arrangements, ao that at any given moment, and wbenever th atnt of affairs in Cuba should warrant it, tbey eonld at one set up an independent Government of their own or loin with Cuba. The peculiar state of. tbe Inland prevented any aerteoa demon strationa, and tha leader of independence were always met by refuaala whenever they wanted to inaugurate a general armed movement. The moderate republican axe auu in power, and they bare always advised a con tinuance of peace, thinking, perhaps rightly, that it waa tbe beat thing which could be done for, the inland, and that it would pieeeive its prosperity in tbe future.

The StparatUtaa bare never been satisfied with tbia. because tbe quietness of Porto Rico waa dangerous to tbe cause in and tbey argued tbat a revolution in Porto Hico would exhaust tbe reaourees of the Spaniards in a much shorter time and lead to the establishment of a republic including both islands. Under tbe different Governnoenta in Spain and tbe special rule of Captains General sent from there since Gen. Saur left, liberal ideas and measures bare been introduced into the inland. The masses began to think and they felt proud of their representative in tbe Spanish Cortea.

The latter fact waa tbe principal cause wby no armed movement bas been inaugurated hi Porto Kico, and if tbe island bad been deprived of representation in Congress, as was Cuba, it ia certain tbat the inhabitants would have commenced a revolution. The state of affairs Porto Rico and the continual introduction of liberal laws alarmed tbe ultra party in Cuba, who do not believe in anything except the divine institution of slavery and their pecuniary interest. The leaders here felt tbat tbe proximity and continuance of auch ideas was dan serous to them, and tbat their most assiduous followers would in time aak for tbe aame or analo gous privileges, enjoyed by tbe inhabitants of tbe leaser Antilla. The reign of Gen. Pruno De Rivera, a man possessed of rare, abilities and fully alive to the fact that the rule and laws of the eighteenth century could not well be enforced in tbe ninteenth, capped the climax.

Letters and telegrams, were sent and every imaginable influence was brought to bear on tbe new Government in Madrid. Gen. Rivera waa painted in the blackest colors, mud every ultra assured tbe Government tbat a revolution againat tbe mother country was imminent, and would certainly break out if Rivera remained in power. naturally inclines toward the pro-alavery. party, heeded tbeae rumors, and anxious to.

have the influence of that prominent power in Bpanisn politics which baa always fostered and favored a retrograde policy in tbe Antilles, from more or less interested motives, consented." The result waa even more flattering than Gen. Rivera's antagonists anticipated. Gen. Lotureano Saur, the Concha of Porto Rico, the idol of tbe pro-slavery party, and hated of all liberals, waa appointed to 11 the vacancy. Saur left Spain at once, and arrived in Porto Rico on.

the 2d of February. The Spaniarda were jubilant, and when the news reached Havana the ulrraa met in the streets, looking as joyful as if they were now complete ly saved from all dangers, or, as they would say, as if their other-in-la had To leave a single vestige of the acts of his pre- deceaaor would have been unlike Gen. Saur or the political party and ideas he repreaenta. Every official owing bis position to liberal ideas was maligned the moat absurd rumors con cerning them were set in circulation, and the first order of Gen. Saur was that of reviving the law issued by him on the 23d of April, 1S70, which rules Porto Rico as a colony and not as a Stat ot Spain.

He followed up this step by issuing a decree dissolving the Legislature of th island, (IHspuiacittn Provineitu,) and from that moment reigned supreme. Telegrams recalled CoL Cortes, the military Chief of Staff, who had been sent away by Rivera to the island. A feeling of dismay and consternation pervaded all classes not belonging to the ultra party, and many mora whose conscience appears not to have been very clear, or who would have been aceuaed of sympathizing with the Cubans, quietly' left tbe island, soma of them secretly, fearing arrest, and perhaps worse. On the 7th of February Saur dissolved all the City Councils (AtptnUnmientM) of the Island and appointed members of the Spanish party to fill the vacancies, instead of having them filled by election aa the law directs. Saur, however, flattered the masses at the aame time by making them believe that all position would be filled by honest and capable officials.

His promises in this respect have un doubtedly been frustrated by the continuous failure of that particular crop of officials in Spain, and he has retained or reappointed many who have always borne a rather bad reputation, although they are steadfast to their political creed, possibly because they were not allowed an opportunity to change it, Tbe Spaniarda say that all the change effected by Saur have been excellent, and that the island haa been greatly benefited by them. Tbia may be true. although his opponents are far from conceding smything of tbe kind it seema certain, however that he bas appointed some minor employes from among tbe people, who are honest and trust worthy. As Rivera bad nearly all the army on bis side, the ultras even spreading the report that be would resist the landing of Saur and compel bia to proceed to Cuba, Saur at once bes-an to remove every obnoxious officer. Who ever waa known to have been a friend of Eivera, or who expressed republican opinion a.

belonged to tbe order of aa Abolitionist had many friend among the natives of the island. was at one decapitated aad aent back to Spain ar to Cuba, about fifty proceeding to Havana. The economy credited to Soar, and ao loudly trumpeted to the world, aome time awed its origin to Tary simple cause he simply dismissed employes and filled their pi see by men word ing for a smaller salary, pr else he seat off ca pable men, like the Professors ia tbe high school ia the capital and left their positions vacant To show the exact state of affaire, aa riven bv a rjroToinent liberal, a native of th island, who, however, is not a partisan of the insurgents in Cuba, and rwlinea strongly toward Spain and the Spaniarda, lay before the reader the following translation of a letter written by him to a friend in this city ItT Xntan Taxsxni 'In answer to year iaauirJas, can assure yea that year fear ar aaly ta wall founded.

I cannot write any mora tha auhject ia too painful to me, and trusting tbat God in his mercy may yat vouchsaf some bright days to th unfortunate people of Cuba and Porto Rico, I am your friend Thia letter ia undoubtedly a true statement of facts the writer is one of the most influential men in Porto Rico, and certainly cannot be accused of being an Insurgent or Annexationist, judging from what he writes. Should Porto Rico rise, then it would go very hard with tbe Spaniards in Cuba, who would make super human efforts to Tnnfntn-m themselves, but would in a short time be compelled to succumb unless Spain itself could be pacified and consolidated, thus enabling tbe mother country to send reinforcements and supplies of every kind to tbe Antilles. THE XEW PARK THEATRE.

Tbe front entrance is ou Twenty -second street, aad there is another entrance on Broadway, about midway in the block between Twenty-first and Twenty-second streets. Th building has been erected under the direction of Mr. Frederic Diaper, architect, and 'from plans drawn by tbat gentleman.

The front on Twenty second street is plain and substantial rather than ornamental, and ia constructed of Philadelphia bnck, with trimmings of Kova Sootla atone. In the construction of th new theatre. Ha acoustie properties ha to been specially looked to, and such arrangements have alaa been carried out as win insure a complete view of th stag from aU the chair in the auditorium. Tbe size of the auditorium ia 60 by 60 feet, and tha division of tb bouse ia of the usual kind, consisting of the parquet or orchestra chela, drees circle, and gallery. There are twelve proeceninm boxes, six on each aide of the etaze.

Th prevailing colors la th auditorium are French gray. and cold, with lines of led thrown in for tb purposes of relief. A design emblematic of the arts, litersture, painting; music, and th drama, adorns tb ceiling, and is carried out with a STreat deal of elaboration, aad over tbe proe-eenium tber is an abundance of acroil work, surrounding a head of Sbakespears. Leaf ornamentation sets off tbe cornices, which ar lined with red. Tb front of th galleries is painted in French gray of two shades, and suitable relief ia introduced in tbe abape of a gilded ornament in each panel.

Tber is also a heavy gilded base aad frieae. The upholstery is generally of crimson velvet, the chairs, of which there are 900, are covered with enameled cloth, also of a crimson abade. It is intended to hsv th privat boxes hnng with crimson satin, with borders of purple velvet, to which will he added the appropriate decorations of heavy gold cord and tassela. cvnomy of space in tbe auditorium will probably account for tbe fact tbat tba orchestra will occupy a position inside the foot-b'ghts and will be concealed from view. The aize of th stage ia 34 by 60 feet, and the floor i level.

From the floor the girder above ia St feet, and tb proscenium opening is 96 feet wide, and 24 feet to tbe top of the arch. What is technically known aa the scene dock under the stage haa a depth of 30 feet, and ia 40 feet long by 10 feet wide. Ot course everv modern appliance ia -the matter of stage machinery wilt be brought into requisition, and tb lighting of the bonse by gaa ana calcium lights ia alaa eneetiiajly provided for. The intention is that tbe heating and ventilating of tb theatre shall on th most approved aystem. There are six dress lng.rooms, snd these are under tbe stage, which is at the Twenty -second street end of tbe theatre.

Tbey are 10 feet square, and are provided with every modern requirement. Tn general construction of tha building ia of the moat substantial character, th walla being 34 inches thick, and Ah wood work cor-reapoadinglv etmng. A- staircase, 18 feet wide, leads to tbe galleries er circles. There are only eiabt stone in the longeat flight, and at tbe termination of each there is a broad platform to relieve any pressure which might occur from crowding. Th entire cost ot th' building, exclusive of the lot on which it stands, will approximate pretty closely to 100,000.
