PONCE, August 13, 1870.
L. A. Becena, the deputy OF this district to the
COrtez of Spain, has arrived, bringing with him
none OF the reforms he promised to BRING The peo.
pie here are so indignant against MIN that he has
met with very bad reception. The evening OF his
arrival he was sauted by the explosion OF a COCO
thrown into his parOrs. This Is considered here as
the greatest offence that could be shown him. He
is so vexed at 1t that he has resolved to move to
Spain as soon as he can realize his property.
The new Captain General, Baldrich has made his
tour OF inspection round the island, and received
the object his visit; that Is the 900 appropriated
for the trip OF pleasure He says he will soon pro-
claim the reforms brought from the peninsula, but
as yet he has not done so. In the meantime the
people desrous or changing the state OF things
that had they but few arms the revolution would
have br roKen out long ago.
The volunteers continue their slaughter Every
day almost we hear Uf a new crime perpetrated by
them. Gambling continues, winked at by the autho-
rites. The negroes In the plantations begin TO talk
OF their liberty and would not be surprised to hear
at any moment OF an attempt to free themselves.

AQUATiCS.


The Undino Boat Club Scuil Race.
The Undine Boat Club, q new organization,
afforded their friends pleasant sport in the way
OF q double scull race Saturday last. The con-
testants were Messrs. T. w. White Ia wellknOwn
gentleman amateur and champion Of the club and
T. +. Carson, Jr., VS.. Messrs. william Chamberlin
aud Frederick s. COzzens The course was four
miles and q quarter, over q narrow, winding river
having sw1ft running tide and the time. taking
this into consideration, was admirable-34:33.
The club house and the usually quiet little river
presented lively appearance on the morning OF the
race and as the men stepped into their boats they
greeted with loud hurrahs from the river side,
and. what was more acceptable. by the clapping OF
dainty hands and waving OF handkerchefs from the
club house. The men were In fine form, but Messrs
White and Carson showed more particularly, In their
muscular development and their long, graceful
stroke owing to the great care they had received
their training. They were the favOreS at the outset,
and the result showed that the confidence had not
been misplaced. The race was pulled pluckiy in
the face of strong wind and tide, the stakeboat be-
ing turned in seventeen minutes. On the last mile
and three quarters White and Carson drew away
rapidly with long powerful stroke. and swept by
the club house winners by over twenty boat lengths.

GENERAL RYaN,S CUBAN MISSION.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-

TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
In the HERALD of yesterday O short article
which, unintentionaly, am sure, does injustice to
me and the cause OF the Cuban people. If, as you
are pleased to credit, have been able to do some
service i'm behalf OF that cause at time when SO
many of my fellow citizens and soldiers of this
country have believed 1t tU be helpless
and Cuba delivered over hopeessly to the
pleasure Of Spanish despotism, certainly you should
give me the further credit OF knowing how could
best serve Cuba at this moment Further Is IL not
likely that the Cuban government know In what
manner It's officers can be most effectively employed
1t became Of vital Importance that certain norma-
tiOn should be communicated from the island to the
agents OF the patriots in the United States with
celeri and certainty The rainy season was at It's
height and military operations necessarily at stand.
Therefore 1t was thought l could be absent
without risk OF any detriment TO military opera
tions and that could discharge the mission en-.
trusted TO me with at least due efficiency. Accord
ingy / came with the least possible apprehension
that would subject myself by so doing to the least
imputation for service upon which the Cuban
government thought it expedient TO employ me.
All ask is that Others Will give practical an
surance OF their confidence IN the Cuban cause as
have DONE and will proceed to do again very soon.
Yours truly, W. A. 9. RYAN,
Brigadter General, &C., Cuban Army.

A Sabbath School Superintendent Brought to
Grief-Au Unwisc Youth Exchanges His
Bridal Couch for FelOn's Cell.
good deal OF excitement was occasioned in
Mount Vernon, Westchester county, yesterday, by
the arrest OF stylish young man named william
Wagner, superintendent OF q Sunday school in that
village, on charge OF having perpetrated extensive
forgertes. 1t appears that the accused was at one
time drug clerk in the place named, but latterly
has peen engaged as Custom House detective. He
has heretofore taken an active part in the German
Methodist Episcopal church In the village desig-
mated, and Tor long time mas presided over the
Sabbath school connected with that place OF
and exercising the best teams that the
livery stables OF the village could afford, Wagner
had recently rented a furnished house In Mount Ver
non, to which he intended shortly TO lead his BRIDE
the daughter OF respectable lady In the neghbor-
hood, to whom he was about to be married.
In attempting to settle his livery bill, day or two
ago, Wagner rendered to the proprietor two checks
for thirty five dollars each, purpOrtng to be drawn
by Degraaf Taylor OF New York, which were re-
who had received them. The livery stable propri-
at started in pursuit OF his bogus patron,
and overlook MS man, who had proceeded about
New York. Having been requested to do so, Wagner
took seat IN the carriage OF his intended victim,
and when spoken to about his conduct freely ad-
mltted his guilt. He also added that 1t would
have been better for him had he 'been caught SIX
months ago." from which it is inferred that his
operations in the forging line have been OF an extern
sive nature. check purporting TO be drawn by
Charles Honerberth was passed by the accused upon
saloon keeper IN the village named Rapp, a few
merchant, purpOrtlng to be drawn by william Van
Wagner, each of the checks being for thirty-hve
dollars.
The accused was arrested on warrant issued by
Justice Mceks, and In his examination before that
functlOnary admitted that the charges alleged were
true, whereupon he was committed TO the county
alI to await the action of the Grand Jury. Wagner
was TO have been married in u lew days.
