The secrecy with which everything is pretended to
be carried on by the Government is very annoying,
particularly to such myself who wish 70 give true
and impartial Of occurrences that should not
be made secret for instance with regard the trials
OF the persons arrested for being concerned in the
conspiracy one knows nothing but what IL TO be
CLEANED from friends who from their position know
something of what is going on These trials would not
be considered fair in the United States being rather like
lnqusrorlal examinations. An individual ia arrested
perhaps at midnight he may have concerned in
the plot, or he may be acquainted with somebody who
has he is put into solitary confinement sometimes into
dark and dismal dungeon. and there left to his
reflections This treatment, Of course highly affects
the minds of many of the prisoners that after many
days. or perhaps weeks, Of this kind of torture, the
victim is just in the his inqusors desire him
be when they commence their examination. which
generally gives rise TO further arrests Sometimes,
nothing Is found against the prisoner and after months
OF confinement he is set at liberty, ruined man. How
long these abominablo proceedings will be tolerated in
america, know not but it is stain on the National
character of the American people that such Govern
ment re this should be allowed to exist 30 Wash

You have heard. have no doubt more about the
Crescent City than can tell YOU. transmit with this
an article published here some three days after the af
fair IL Is written in that does little credit 10
the understanding Of the writer containing as does
so much silly abuse against the people OF the United
States and exhibiting great weakness of mind but it
will serve an index TO show the arrogance and arb
trary inclination of Spanish rulers it be not from
the pen OF the Government ITSELF a. least in passing the
censor, it had its appreciation; and further it
copied into the Gd:ettc the Government paper and
forced into the Didrio de 10 HabaRd Creole organ,
which is obliged publish all the Government twaddle
and the abuse Of the Didrio de la Marina against its
people and those Of the United States
In relation TO what took place on board OF the Ores
City upon being ordered Oh without being allowed
to communicate with the shore cannot say, but with
regard to what took place shore ! am better in
formed.
1t being Sunday, an immense number of Spanish
shopmen down the wharf, where they gave
loose to their feelings against the Yankees by the utter
ance of numberless indecent epthets, and when the
passed their actions were well suited to an in
furiated canaile. The respectable Spaniards,
however looked on with elongated counenances which
indicated that they were calculating how much they
might lose by the rash act of their Government; while
the Creoles stood by chucklng within themselves and
praying that the affair might produce rupture between
the United States and Spain.
In the palace there quite fuss one OF the house
of Drake Brothers & Co. the consignees OF the steam
eI; went by request of the Governor to see him, and
Mr. Klienworth, the party who went was assailed in
choeric manner by his Excelency, who called their
house band of Fhbusiers telling him at the same time,
that four of their clerks had been arrested for being
concerned in the conspiracy, and anotner
should be- he would send the whole house from the
porter upward 70 the Moro This piqued Mr.. X, who
did not expect such reception and he told the Cover
nor that in that respect he might do ne pleased Mr.
Morales the head partner went the next day to see
him. but the Governor in rage, sent him away telling
him he was renegade Spanard and Just a. bad as the
rest Mr. Morales is a native OF Venezuela, and was
quite friendly with Concha, and in the time oil Koncah
turned cut n volunteer captain.
This conduct is similar to that of the Deys OF Alsers
in their interviews with the Christian Consusi and
like fit Of rage led the occupation OF that country by
the civilized French Such mperous behavior toward
strangers YOU will infer is but trihe, when compared
TO the treatment Creoles receive from their Spanish
rulers.
Speaking of the Governor reminds me that saw him
at a review Of the troops Sunday. lie made me
appearance lie reviewed about three thousand men,
which we may presume s the utmost force ne could
send into the field Of battle. There are about lb,OOO
troops in the island about one halt OF which might De
able on an emergency to 20 against an enemy The
artillery il composed Of fine men; but the common IN
fantry regiments with the exception of the picked COM
panies are not composed OF men to make much resist
ance. The three companies which attacked Lopez AT
Las Posas were picked companies, still they were de
feated, after that thousand good men, under good
American General, might have fought their way to

With the second individual. Don Antonio Frank de

professor in our University man of some 30 years Of
age perhaps more sedate and intellectual therefore,
when such men as he are cited rebels there can be
little doubt about the desire of the Cuban3 TO throw on
the Spanish yoke, and may God curse every American
who shall misrepresent affairs here TO their prejudice
