HAVANA lreNs.-Tho Now York Herald
publishes n statement of tho three American
sailors now imprisoned in tho Moro under the
charge OF having formed part Of tho crew of
the shaving bark Jasper, which, aher landing
It's cargo ON the island, was set on fro. The
statement is addressed to tho Secretary of
State, who, VIC have no doubt, will take proper
measures to secure Justice to these our citi.
zens. The three sailors, II seems, were ut first
unwittingly, and then unwillingly, engaged In
tho expedition. The Herald says:
IL Is impossible to say what has become
OF the other Americans who were among the
crew, namely WIN. Radclif, Vim. Hussey,
second mate, the boy Coles, and the cook, q
black man, named Robinson. Our Havana
correspondent suggests that most probably
the first three wcrc murdered to bc got rid or
and that tho negro was sold among the slaves.
This is by no means n violent or irrational
conclusion"
In reference to this affair the New York
Times says
"The Island of Cuba probably contains
hyc thousand Spaniards and natives obnoxious
TO tho same charge. A thousand Of them
have rendered themselves notorious within a
year past, for active participation In tho bust
ness; and If tho British Consul General may
DO trusted, his Excellency has been provided
with full lists Of their names and dwelling
places. Yet ont Of six arrests made In all, In
connection with tho traffic, nvo have been
Americans. Gen. Canedo, however, discrimi.
mates with q vengeance, and always adversely
to Americans. Does not the fact deserve at.
