NEW YORK, Dec. Col. Rosa "a, who was
ia command of the last expc,,ition to Cuba

tne CUBAN asseSsur. He states that the yes
macr: merry was old and in poor condition,

little over miles an hour. When the YES

cred that the supply OF coal was insufficient,

The people on board suffered greatly from
these causes, and also from the excessive
heat. When they reached Cuba nine men
were landed in boat 10 reconnoitre, but the
place was so dangerous to vessels that II
was impossible TO land any part OF
the cargo or any soldiers. Meanwhile
the Spanish authorities had been informed
OF their presence, and they had TO make tho
utmost speed TO Jamaica. The arms fur
nished were of an inferior quality. He
blamed the agents in this city for negligence
in htting out the vessel
