THE HERALD's CUBAN EXPEDITIONS

From the Indianapolis Journal, Jan. 1871
The New YORK HERALD recently sent speciai
correspondent to Cuba, who is now furnishing that
paper very full and interesting accounts OF the
Cuban war and other matters pertaining to the IN
ternal afYars OF the island. As much OF the INTEL
agence from Cuba is vague, unreliable and contra
dict0ry these letters from trustworthy Ameri-
can correspondent are likely to be read with spe-
cial interest and to have much weight In shaping
public sentiment touching Cuban AFFAIRS.
It appears that the law passed by the Spanish
Cortes for the abolition Of slavery In Cuba IL
dead letter. and there is neither power.
nor. perhaps. any disposition on the part
Of the Spanish authorities to enforce 1t.
Like the old Southern slave-owners. the
estate owners in CUBA are unwilling to mannmit
their slaves, but are using every possible enOrt
TO prevent the enforcement OF the law Enorts ats

AS for the rebellion, which has now been going
on nearly five years, Mr.. Henderson is of opinion
that 1t will be impossible for Spain ever to regain
undisputed control of this island though the slave
holders and aristocrats are all on her side. The
rebels are not able to meet the Spanish forces In
the field; but they do not propose this. They IN,
tend to maintain the present guerilla warfare till
Spain becomes tired OF losing men and money in
hopeless conflict. The losses OF the Spanish army

CUBAN DELIGHTS OF TRAVEL.
We found the station at st. Domingo where
the line Of railway which we had travelled ter
minated, filed with curious throng, who pre-
vented the free movement OF the passengers, who
were engaged in frantic efforts to buy tickets and
obtain possession OF their luggage in order to re-
snip IL Tor Las cruces. With view to augment.
ing the confusion the officials refused TO take the
paper currency OF the country, and such as were
unprovided with plata were engaged making
frantic appeals TO the clerks to charge the differ
ence and not cause the unfortunates to lose the
train. In most cases, believe, this was done,
but not until the officials made the mere public
understand how much
THEY OWED TO THE 'CoNDEscENsIoNn
OF their lords and masters-the railway clerks.
The same farce was renewed at Las Cruces. where
we were again obliged to have our baggage trans
ierred, and. OF course. had to pay the clerk con-
sheraton for his goodness. do not believe that
the railway derives q revenue much in excess of
the salary OF the olcials charged with this bureau,
and to my mind the only reason for its existence is
to force the passengers to submit to petty annoy
ances and vexation Of spirit, all for the good OF
their souls or otherwise. At last when the shadows
OF evening were closing rapidly over the way we
reached Esperanza, village next to villa Clara;
but what 1t was like could not perceive through

His Amioable Relations with

Why lie Would Not Go Farther North in

WASHINGTON, Oct III, 1873.
The examination Of Captain Buddington COM
menCed to-day on board the Tallapoosa at the Navy
Yard. Secretary RoDeson was the principal ex-
aminer, Commodore Reynolds and Captain How
gate assisting. The services OF Professor Baird
were not considered necessary until the examna-
ton Of Dr. Besse begins. Buddingtor was inter-
rogated for five hours, particularly as to his
relations with Captain Hall, he declaring that there
was not the slightest foundation for any report OF
difference between him and Captain Hall. His
judgment about proceeding beyond the point
reached, 50 deg 10 min., was based entirely upon
his experience as navigator in Arctic waters, and
not from any lear of danger or aversion to prose-
cute the journey. While there might have been an
appearance OF an open channel, the weather In the
northern latitude was so uncertain that no man
would dare risk vessel IN the higher latitude
with an Arctic winter approaching.
In rely to an inquiry as to his personal conduct
Captain Buddington said he had been accustomed
to taking dram occasionally, but denied ever
having drunk enough to lncapacitate him for duty
or to make him unfit Tor the position of navigator
in dangerous waters. The sci araron of Tyson and
his party, on October Is, was more seriously re.
gretted by those on board the PoIarIs than could
possibly have been by the Ice foe party. So certain
was he that the vessel would have to be aban-
doned that he had made preparation tccast over
everything OF value and importance to the crew,
when the wind suddenly changed and shifted the
Polaris into almost an opposite position, swapping
the hawsers and increasing the danger to the
vessel. The. details Of what happened after the
separation have already been substantially mar
rated:

on Monday, when the death Of Captain Hall will be
