studies to obstruet all movements that would
interfere with slavery or the slave trade in that
island. 1t rules the Havana press and aims to
maintain slavery even against attempts of the
Spanish government itself TO abolish it, 1t has
shown itself base aud inscriptions; We sup

Late news from CIba, with quotations from

made BY the message was SO powerful as 10
silence clustering and defiant denuaciaJiou
The Havana papers suppress most of that part
OF it which touches slavery, ami speak OF il

This Indicates that the upholders Of Cuban
