There is wicked commerce just beginning
with Yucatan. Young boys are imported and
hired out as slaves for a term of years,
their owners being allowed to whip them in
the same manner as negroes. 1t seems to me
that the consuls of other nations should prevent
this Indian slavery, and our government ought to
insist upon the authorities of Yucatan the discon-
tnuanca OF such an Drrang cement rs now exists be-
tween this Island and their country. Indians no
doubt are troublesome in Yucatan but selling them
INTO slavery is very wicked way of getting rid OF
them.
There is no American vessel of war in port. An
attempt has been made by the Captain General to

Sgnora Koska. The readers Of the Diario have
doubtless noticed that in last number we msda
10 mention OF the distinguished triumph obtained.
IN her second concert, By this distinguished artist
Our silence was Intentional; among the first
to render justice to the great art,se, but wero
unwilling to state our opinion of her great merits
before they were realized universally and enthu-
siastically as they were on lost Saturday night in
the almost empty saloon OF our great theatre.
The publio has ut last been just aud so have our
colleagues. To Indifference has succeeded chorus
Of praise, that must be attering in the extreme to
this most excellent artistic
On the FIRST night of Madame Koskas appearance
before the dilettanti of Havana that lady was In a
very unfavorabe state of health which seriously af
fected her voice. Every debut is but an inperfsct
trialof an a'tses abilities; but of this, most persons
present lost sight, and already began to speak unfa-

public enthusiasm, and to the unanimous Judgment
OF our contemporaries
We know that several OF Madame Koska's friends
and ardent admirers have begged her to repeat her

and the Havana public will show their taste for art
and their appreciation for high musical excellence.
THE RAvELS,
The question will very soon be decided as to tho
advent of the Ravel family considerable doubt has
been unaffected as to whether these celebrated ar

of the Havana public, would be able to visit this
