The CUBAN AFFAIa.--Mf. Robert Geddes, one
of the of the steamer Creole previous to her
transfer for the of the Cuban invaders, gave
the following testimony the late trial of Gen
John Henderson:
.Was one of the joint owners of the Creole in
April last, and sold her. Negotiated the sale with
John Henderson. The title was made to William
White. Mr.. Henderson sent for me; went to his
office; he told me he wanted to buy the Creole; we
spoke Of the price, and agreed upon $4,000. /
stated to him that | represented three quarters of
the boat that he could pay me for that three.
Hicrn, who owned the other quarter, the balance.
He accordingly paid me $l0 1000 in cash, and his
note for six months secured by deed Of trust, of
property at Pass Christian, for S2.0 900. / should
have stated that, in the first place, Mr. Henderson
proposed to pay me In sort Of paper, signed by
Gen. Lopez, which believe were Cuban bonds
but declined that at once and paid very little at
tention TO the offer Mr.. Henderson said he wished
to purchase the boat in the name of some other
person think, bat am not certain, that White's
name was mentioned at the first interview. At the
second interview, Mr. Henderson requested me-
however, to make out the bill in the name of Mr.
White, and we went to the custom house and had
il so arranged. Mr.. Henderson stated to me that
there was an expedition getting up, and made in
quiries to the fitness of the Creole to go to sea
de requested Inc to say nothing about the expedi-
ton until 1t was gone. This the first know
ledge had OF the expedition, and the first knew
oi the object OF purchasing the boat had no in
terview with Mr.. White in relation to the pur-
chase, although he was, think present at both in
tervlews; had no conversation whatever with him
ON the subject, and the negotiation was entirely
between myself and Mr.. Henderson"
