The Upton Expedition SUCCESSFULLY
Landed.
NEW YoHK, June 15.-The Worlds Ha-
vana correspondence contains later and
more comprehensive particulars of the
landing of the Upton expedition and the
capture Of her cargo. The Decentralization
was effected ct Ponta Brava early on the
gath ultimo. The Upton left for South
America and was never seen before or
since by the Spanish expedition As far as
the hedisembarkation is concerned it was sue
cessful. The Captain of merchant
schooner noticed men ashore moving ar
tillery, and meeting the gunboat Youmini,
informed her Captain, and tina Youmini
landed twenty marines who attacked the
Cubans but were easily repulsed and driven.
to the gunboat with the loss of ten killed.
The Y0umini, Joined by Foe, watched their
opportunity on the 28th and landed with a
heavy force and commenced skirmishing.
Most of the Cubans left for the interior.
A rear guard Of fifty, said to be under Capt.
Harrison, disputed the possession of the
remaining cargo, but were soon routed,
and fed for the interior. Two werekilled,
one supposed to be Harrison, and three
prisoners captured and the cargo placed
aboard the gunboat and taken to
Nuevitas. The three prisoners, Duis Medal,
Isidor Garcia and Thomas Alionsea, all
Freemasons, were sentenced and executed
on the LIST inst, despite their ilnploring
protection from De Rodas, who is himself
a Mason. The prisoners stated that 165
men landed. 8z&KS s,fta
The Presidents Cuban Message.
The Heralds Washington correspondent
asserts that the message aroused profound
feeling among the members and Senators,
and its contents is the talk of the town.
The general impression among the ma
jority of both houses is that the document,
to say the least, was in-timed, uncalled for
and its transmission TO Congress at the
particular juncture was altogether a strange
proceeding. 1t would appear that the
President was SOW in making up his mind
to send it in. Attorney General Hoar
stated, last evening, to a member of Con-
gress that the message was not signed
until an hour before it reached the capitol.
Old Senators and lawyers, familiar with
the style of Caleb Cushing credit him with
the authorship of the document, and it is
stated that he has been engaged upon il
ever since the appearance Of Gen. Banks
report. III so asE-Ea-E
The Tribune says the explanation has at
last been made of the recent extended cab
met meeting and especially the recent and
frequent long consultations between the
President and Secretary Fish. 1t is now
apparent that the subject of Cuba has been
under consideration, and the public have
been misled into believing that all the cab
met activity is upon the Indian question.
The message sent to Congress by the Pres
ident is the subject of universal comment
in all circles of the city. Many argue that
both the foreign committees considered the
subject carefully for many months, and had
better facilities for knowing the facts than
the President. No doubt some of the
strongest men in both Houses are greatly
incensed, and not unlikely this feeling will
find emphatic expression at the proper
time. In both Houses there was certainly
much outspoken dissatisfaction from mem
bers and Senators last night, not in the
habit of jumping at conclusions or giving
expression to their feelings without cause.
The effect the message will have upon Com
gress cannot now be foreshadowed. Many
hold that the position the President has
assumed is impregnable; while the judg-
ment of proprieties not commended by
any except it may be Sumner and a few
other gentlemen occupying extreme posi-
tons. Debates upon the subject will be
extremely interesting, and Democrats viii
throw the weight of their influence to pro-
duce breach between the President and
Congress, which is beginning to be feared
by some usually judicious men.
