ARRIVAL OF THE LONG DELAYED TRAINs-THE
DELAY UNNECESSARY,
SALT LAKE, Feb 1.-THE trains from the
east so long blockaded at Laramie Plains ar
rived at Ogden to-day and this afternoon the
regular and special trains on the Utah Central
brought passengers and mails seemingly with
out end. The experiences of travellers differ
but most of them denounce the management of
the road without stint, saying that there was no
excuse for such long delay and so many hard
ships, and that with reasonable energy and de-
termination ON the part of officials, who, if they
had understood their business could have rails
ed the blockade two weeks ago. Numbers
threaten suits against the company for DANA
ges. Several arrived here to-day, among them
some ladies utterly worn out, prostrated and
sick .1-si.'
-, Midnight-Bad news is again received from
the snow belt on the Pacific railroad Gen. Ord
has just arrived here with advioes that the
trains are again snow bound between Medicine
Bow and Rawlins and Lookout. There is no
nope OF east bound trains getting through.

REVIVAL OF THE SLAVE TRADE E-Havana
advices say some Madrid letters received about
three weeks ago, announced what at first ap-
peared to be an incredible story, but one which
events are beginning to convert into positive
fact; the intention of the ultra-Spanish party
to reopen the African slave trade and to reduce
eighty thousand Chinese now in Cuba to the
condition of slavery. Rumors of the landing of
two cargoes of slaves have been current, but
there is no proof of their accuracy, and the
present regime would not dare to countenance
an undertaking which would compel the Christ
ian and civilized powers to interfere, but the
enslaving of Chinese is now a settled fact The
government was mistrusted by commission
who demanded the enslaving of the Chinese,
and therefore commission to press the Chinese
into slavery was chosen from among the most
noted and cruel slave owners and former slave
traders. All the members of the commission
but one are Shareholders.
