THE BLACK REGIMENTS IN CUBA.

The plan recently adopted in Cuba, of enlisting
black and mulato soldiers, Is likely to prove unsuc-
cessful, hnot an entire failure. The fellows are
too obstreperous. and win not be controlled. The
intelligent Havana correspondent of the Charleston
Courier under date of June l2, relates some events
OF recent occurrence which go far to sustain this
statement:
In the early part of the last week some of these
black soldiers had congreeated in drinking shop
without the walls, where they were engaged in
drinking and making use of obscene language, in
fact, creating disturbance. A white policeman
passing went in and ordered them to desist. They
questioned the policeman's authority and still
greater disturbance ensued. until a. length of
the black soldiers drew a knife, whereupon the
policeman In self defence drew his sword, and with
it inflicted severe wound upon the black soldier's
neck. of which wound he b as since died.
On Thursday morning last, raite drsyman was
dschareing load at the Custom House, and his
dray being placed near the wall prevented one of
the black soldiers from passing. He rudely Or
dered the drayman to remove his dray. The man,
taking of his hat said civilly he would do SO
soon rs he had discharged his load. But this
would not suffice for the black soldier and he
forthwith uttered torrent of abuse at the white
man, declaring he 7chite as the others.
and that the dray should be instantly removed =
An officer of the black soldier approached and de-
sired him to desist-but without effect, and a
crowd gathered with looks of astonishment at the
y.
Eventually. the officer forced the negro and the
white drayman into the guard room. Thus 1t will
be seen, that already these black soldiers fancy
themselves equal to white men; nor can 1t be ex-
pected to be Otherwise when it is remembered that
they have been taken from the most worthless OF
tn class-abandoned fellows, accustomed to pass
the days and nights in drinking, gambling, and
COCK lighting. Their sergeants and corporais too
are to be blacks and mulattos. How such creatures
are to be drilled into discipline know not.
The writer is confident that, should occasion
come these Spanish black soldiers will be found
utterly uncomfortable in the hour OF battle and that
they will either turn their back to the foe and run
away or fight with savage ferocity, and being with
out discipline, will be no match for regularly drilled
white troops. report is in circulation that in con-
sequence of their bad conduct, it is in contempla
tion to take from them their uniform. This, how
ever, will only degrade, but not render them less
brutal
