The expedition which left here some
time ago to search for hidden treasure
near Laguna Dieceutes, in the Raltn
Abalo District, returned unsuccessful.
General Lono, commander of Fort
Oabana and Moro Castle. will shortly re-
turn to Spain.
Fort Morarca, at Nuevitas, was struck
by lightning, on the night of the 10th
inst. The powder magazine exploded,
and seven artillerists were killed. A
rlted cannon was carried distance of
fifty yards from the embrasure.
The Cuban civil government has
granted the coolies the right to return to
China, after complying with certain pre-
scribed conditions.
Ihe Oidrio, commenting upon the
seizure of the steamer Pioneer, says that
the vessel is pirate, not privnteer,
and the commander of the Moccasn de-
cided her status when he captured her,
and carried her into Newport. Had she
been privateer, lie would not have
taken her, because privateer is vessel
OF war belonging to Il nation recognized
as helligerent.
Don Suarez Vigil has been appointed
political secretary of the island. The
Spanish iron-clad Numoncia will shortly
sail for New York, en- route for Spain.
