Translated from FL Cronista, the Spanish organ 10
New York;
The HERALD has originated and Is organizing q
thievng scientific expedition to redeem Cuba from
the captivity in which she is held by the Spanish
forces. This refuge of outlaws, at whose head
stands the HERALD, has enrolled no less than six
thousand OF these charlatans according to the
HERALD's statement and to magnify the hoax, in
Guiding Frenchman who looks upon the task OF
expeiing the Germans from his native soil as an
act OF supererogatiOn and thinks 10 is more heroic
TO Try to hunt the Spaniards out OF the Gem of the
Antilles.
The only trouble about this Quixotlc undertaking
is that 1t IS impossible, for the six thousand would
soon be eaten up by jlggers Why, sixty thousand
OF such rabble would be but as paything for tho
Spaniards to Destroy and six hundred thousand at
least would be wanted to give us the slightest
these worthless Is the last that will be heard this
thieying- scientific expedition.

and engaging manners OF our representative 30
won upon General Jordan that he became cOmmu.

various occurrences which had taken place there
in the last few years. He stated as absurd the

HENDERSON, THE HERALD CORRESPONDENT,
provided that he had actually sent any news at all,
showed the rebels TO i. De IN small numbers IN
munition. Further, that 1t was merely owing to
the mountainous nature OF the country that the
insurrectiOn had not long ago been stamped out by
the bravery OF the Spanish troops. In conclusion
General Jordan stated that he had resolved not to
tions when he was last there, thinking that it was
waste OF energy and foolish In the extreme. The
reporter then bade the General good day.
Spanish Editor Writes to President
Grant.
The editor Of Ell CrOntStd, organ OF the Spanish
government published in this city, has written the
following letter to President Grant, with reference
| to that part OF the Presidential Message which
treats on the subject or Spanish rule in Cuba and
particularly as to the question Of slavery in that
unhappy island:-
10 His Exceency General GRANT, President OF ths
United States Of North America:-
STIR take the liberty OF addressing you on the
subject OF Cuban independence" I" to which subject
you refer in your recent message to Congress, as
think am able and by duty bound to make some
explanation to you on the subject.
The insurrecton In Cuba has been approved I'm
this country by several venal newspapers, who have
gwen the public to understand that the govern.
ment at Washington was dcsir0us that 1t should
not be speedily squelched and further, that the
inhabitants OF this country sympathlzed with the
insurrectionists. This tact endorsement has kept
the rebellion alive to great extent and has led
the nsurrectionists to hope FOR material assistance
| from this country.
cannot help remarking In view OF the illusions
made in your Excellency speech and say il with
| toward the rebels, who It may be remarked, are
but a handful in comparison with other residents
| of Cuba, who are Loyalty disposed towards SPAN.
SPAIN WILL ExTERMINATE THE REBELS.
Should the rebels In question from their noun
! tain refugees still persist in carrying on this, to
them, suicidal strife, Spain will not neglect her
duty in exterminating these men.
The prolongation OF the strife in Cuba is owing
| to the mountainous districts with which the island
abounds and also to the numerous fbustering
vessels despatched, and yet to be despatched, to
aid the insurgents, from the United States.
| THE COURT OF MADRID.
| From this lax Interpretation OF International
law 1t is possible that the Court OF Madrid Will one
day demand official explanation from the
United States, cause inquiries to be made as to
| the condition OF the recent slave states or the
| Ing OF the ku Klux law and other Kindred matter.
This may be indifferent to the government at
Washington and the American people, but 1t Is i'm
possible TO tell what is concealed in the future.
SPANISH CIVILIZATION AND UNITED STATES BUTCHERY.
spain, which discovered the New World and, at
Indians, cannot but view with horror the system
pursued in this country OF wholesale extermina-
DEFENCE OF SLAVERY
Who would venture to predict that the abolition
reign in Cuba. on the contrary It would lnaagu-
rate reign OF civil war and strife OF races, which
would extend to Hayti, and other places.
This state OF things would not SUIT American
commerce and this sentimental philosophy which
states that slavery should not exist in the nine
JeeHtn CeuIuIy uoI dpplCduit ia tHe plescub
case, and would cause the actual ruin OF the
island by increasing poverty.
A VIOLENT REMEDY SUGGESTED.
/ know how tranquility could be obtained in
Cuba by your good Offices. Let It be Proclaimed that
all interference for Cuban rebels Is Illegal and put
the head or the Cuban "Agencia" in
this city in prison, for his presence and
conduct here is burlesque on International
law; let an investigation be held as TO the conduct
| Of those United States officials who have allowed
fbustering vessels TO leave the ports OF this coun-
| try and punish those revenue officers who have
allowed these vessels to escape, thereby degrading
the American nag; and furthermore, punish by dis
missal those Consuls in foreign ports who have
afforded facilities to those pIratcal crafts.
GRATITUDE TO SPAIN.
As Spain acted q strictly neutral part during the
late war IN this country as England now does
towards Cuba, ask that the same spirit may be
shown by this country. BY these means the Cuban
rebels will see the folly or the course they are
pursuing and peace will again bless the land.
In ap0logizing for the length OF this letter the
deep Importance OF the subject must be my excuse.
have the honor to remain with the highest re.
