General GOicOses-1o.
Hi Execution at Hacana By tie SpaHisA
Aukh0rjties

From the New York Evening Post May7.
The Cuban General Domingo de Goicou-
ria was brought to Havana on Friday, q
verbal" or drum.hcsd court martial i'm
mediately tried and condemned him, and at
four o'clock on Saturday morning he was
taken to Fort Principe, where few hours
thereafter he was executed. Thus died one
who was condemned - death by Spain for
his part in the Lopez expedition eighteen
years ago. General Goicouria was native
of Cuba, and was for many years identified
with the schemes for the liberation of the
Cubans from Spanish rule He was for this
reason forced to take up his residence in the
United States, where he has taken lead
ing part in organizing the different expe-
ditions that have been set on foot against
the Spanish authority. He was, in fact, the
director of the enterprise which Lopez had
the credit of leading. Lopez was mere
soldier of fortune; Goicouria calculated the
chances and advised caution and great pre-.
paration. It was this characteristic that led
Lopez to doubt the zeal and even loyalty of
Goicouria, who had no faith in the filbus-
tering schemes of 1851 and 1852, though he
took part in preparing them. He was the
second in command under Lopez; was cap
tured, condemned to death, sent to Spain,
and managed to escape from those who
held him. After the disasters of that time,
Goicouria was engaged in arranging larger
expedition, which was to have been led by
General Quitman. Gustavus W. Smith.
George B. Mcclellan, Mansfield Lowell and
General Harvey are said to have offered
their services to this scheme for the liber-
alton of Cuba. Goicouria was SO highly
esteemed aud trusted in Cuba that the peo-
pie of that island sent him large sums of
money to assist in the enterprise. Although
this was the most formidable and rcspec.
table expedition of the kind ever organized
for some reason, never explained, it was
suddenly abandoned. For . short time
Goicouria WAS associated with William
Walker in the famous Nicaragua war; but
they quarreled, aud subsequently Geicouria
was engaged in some revolutionary plots in
South America.
When the revolution was begun in Cuba
last year, he devoted himself to sending a..
sistance from the United States, and that
has been the character of his service almost
entirely throughout the present struggle.
In his death, which was, like that Of Lopez,
by the garotte, the Cubans lose Jealous
leader.
He was q man of great wealth, and of ad-
mirable bravery and devotion to the cause
Of Cuban liberty. A son of his was aid to
General Jordan, and was MORALLY wounded
at the battle of Las Tumas.

though summoned several days ago, has not

become known of the testimony elected in

livliest Investigations ever undertaken by a
committee Of Congress, and although no nc.
tosf case has yet been discovered, the fact
10 fully established that enormous sums of
money have been gotten rid of by certain
Georgia politicians. FL For instance the

n Singular MaMtG-An AdN,ircv OF
Sleeping Beauty.

Louisville has among her notable charac.
ters . man named Charles Watkins, who has
strange mania, for which . name 10 not
yet invented. He will break into house
at night just for the luxury Of standing BY
the bedside of q person and looking at him
or her, rs the case may be, while lying
asleep. He has been known to do this on
several occasions, and after standing there
and gazing for hours, leave without disturb
ing snything, and close the doors carefully
after him.
The Courier, Journal says that ''about six
months ago he got himself into serious
trouble this way, being arrested As burg
lar and held to answer. He entered the
room of young lady after she had retired
and gone to Sleep Taking his favorite pos
itioR beside the bed, he stood gazing At the
beautiful sleeper till, perhaps, conscious of
the presence near her, she awoke, and was
frightened terribly. BY the faint light of
the moon Is it shone through the lattice,
she saw this stranger standing still and
motionlcss Ut her bedside. She screamed
and tainted, and the inmates Of the house,
aroused by the noise, came rushing in just
in time to catch the intruder. The affair
caused good deal of excitement, and no
little gossip, at the time, but subsequent
facts have proved that the man was harm.

of good behavior for twelve months. His
case is . strange one indeed.

WATERPRooFs.-By the way, touching
waterproofs, I think can give travellers .
valuable hint or two. For many years
have worn India rubber waterproofs. But
will buy no more, for have learned that
good Scottish tweed can be made completely
impervious to rain, and, moreover, have
learned how to make it so, and for the bene-
fit of my readers will here give the recipe:
In a bucket of soft water put half pound
Of sugar of lead and half pound of pow
dered alum; stir this at intervals until it be-
comes clear; then pour it off into another
bucket, and put the garment therein, and
let it be in for twenty-four hours, and then
hang it up to dry without ringing it. Two
of my party-a lady and gentleman-havs
worn garments thus treated in widest storm
of wind and rain without getting wet. Tho
rain hangs upon the cloth IN globules. In
short, they are really waterproof. The
gentleman, a fortnight ago, walked nine
miles in storm of rain and wind such ~
you'farely see in the South; and when he
slipped off his 0vercoat, his under clothes
were as dry Is when he put them on. This
is, think, . secret worth knowing; for

Archbishop Purcell, who leads the pro
test presented to the Pope against the dogma
of infallibility, thus expressed himself thirty
years ago on the doctrine, in his famous de-.
bate with Alexander Campbell: "Appeals
were lodged before the Bishop of Rome,
though he was not believed to be infallible.
Neither il he now. No enlightened Catho.
lie holds the Pope's infallibility to an A.
ticle of faith. I do not, and none of my
brethren that know of, do. The Catholic
believes the Pope, as man, to be a. liable
to error as almost any man in the universe.
Man is man, and no man is infallible, either
in doctrine or morals. Many of the Popes
have sinned, and some of them have been
bad men. Ipresume my worthy antagonist
will take his brush in hand and roll up his
sleeves, and lay it on them hard and heavy;
SO will I; and whenever he uses . strong
epithet against them will use . stronger"

FORTY-FIRST CONGRESS.
WASHINGTON, July 2.

AsHISGToN, July :.
HOUSE. The Speaker informed the House
that the Indian appropriation bill had been
returned from the Senate, with the request
for further Conference.
Mr. Sargent of Cal, one of the House
conferees, stated the ground of difference
between the two bodies. The Senate in
sisted on the specific appropriations under
the treaties since July 1867, and that these
treaties be recognized as the supreme law of
the land. 1t claimed the exclusive right of
determining the propriety of making the
terms of such treaties, and with whom it
might properly be made; and that its action
was not 0pca to the criticism or control of
the legislative power. The Senate conferees
had, howeyer, offered to put a clause in the
bill, auzhofizing the President to use money
for any other purposes than shose named in
the treaties, at his discretion, but with the
consent of the Indians.
The House eonferees had refused to insert
in the bill, anything which could be taken as
aratifcati> vi, or consent to any Indian
treaty maae since the e tn of July, 1867,
and<sontenting that it ia eos rowing, irrespon-
sible bands of Indim.ss and not the indie
pendent nations with whom treaties can pos
sibly be made; and so regarding and treating
them has been fruitful of frauds on, 1ae gov
crnment, and injurious to the Indians, that
the new treaties for which the House steadily
refused appropriations involved the expendi-
ture of SIC, ZOO, 900 at least, and that to con-
cede to the demand of the Senate conferees,
would be to admit that that sum and any
amount whatever could be taken from the
Treasury, without the consent of the peoples
representations, either to the amount or to
the use which it should be applied; that the
object for which the money was to be used
nndqF in
fantastic and useless; that the recent Indian
delegation denounced these treaties as
fraud and a surprise on the Indians, and that
the government had paid no respect to them,
so far as they conferred or conformed the
hunting privileges of the Indians as a lost
hope of agreement, and wit the desire of
preventing an Indian war, and securing the
civilization of the Indians
lie House conferees refused to appropri-
ate the bill, the amount which the Senate had
inserted in the gross sum, and to leave the
executive the duty and responsibility of ex-
randing the money. This offer or compromise
was maoe because the conferees considered
'he question one not of money but of princi-
pie, the Senate conferees howx..- rof,eod 70
agree to that proposition.
