AFRICAN APPRENTICE SYSTEM IN CUBA
The Washington Union publishes from the
official organ of the Captain General of Gu
ba, an announcement of the distribution of
over 500 Africans as apprentices among va
rious gentlemen of Cuba, for one year. This
is regarded by the Union as the inaugura.
ton in Cuba of the African apprentice sys-
tenn, devised to make the island nuisance
to the United States. The term of service
of these apprentices is reduced to one year,
afterthis they may choose their own occupa-
tions. A Havana correspondent of the Uni
ON, under date of April 18th, writes
"As have before remarked to you, this .nnren.
tice system Is not to interfere with the slave trade
which will be carried to greater extent than ever.
for the reason that all slaves introduced now nav v
ounces each to the Captain General. This is a TENN
tation that even rich marquis cannot resis there
fore, as many as can get in secretly will be sold IA
slaves on paying five doubloons each and those de
tected VIII be placed as apprentices. And ipasn,uch
as all slavers boarded by the English men-of.war
haring ah apprentices they all permitted to pass
under that PASSWORD. Perhaps the next day thcv
are landed as slaves but every means are now adon
ted to keep these landings q secret, or until the
footing" - A0 '"'Ae
1t will be necessary for the United States
to protect herself against the operation of
TINS apprentice system, and also any attempt
at immediate emancipation, which it is re-
ported the Captain General of Cuba is en-
powered to proclaim, whenever he sees fit

striking stone, the little girl thrown from her
seat, and her clothes catching On the buggy, she
was swung to and fro between the wheels. Her
brother saw her perilous position, but was unable
to render her any assistance it required all HE
strength to hold the affrightened horse; and she
would doubtless have been crushed to death, but
for the heroic conduct of Mr.. Gustavus r. Roy, q
student at the Richmond College, who, at the haz-
ard of his own life, ran up and snatched her from
her perilous position. Such conduct as was exhi
bited by this young gentleman, deserves the highest
Commentator. We are gratied to learn that the
horse was finally stopped, and that all OF the party
were more scared than hurt.
