The UraguaY.

New YORK, Dec Cool. Rosada, who was
in command of the last expedition to Cuba in
the Uruguay, last night made report to the
Cuban Association. He stated that the vessel
was wholly uoft for the service. Her ma
chinery was old and 10 poor condition, and the
propeller worked so badly that the utmost
speed the steamer could attain was little over
five miles an hour. When the vessel had set
out on the voyage it was discovered that the
supply of coal was insufficient, and later the
provisions began to fall snort. The people on
board suffered greatly from these causes, and
also from the excessive heat. When they
reached Cuba nine men were Landed 10 boat
to reconnoitre, but the place was so dangerous
to vessels that it 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 the ut
most speed to Jamaica. The arms furnished
we're of an inferior quality. He blamed the
agents in this city for their negligence 10 fitting
out the vessel.

three weeks, an enormous amount OF
