New YORK. September PA letter from
Havana dated September 7, says: "Cuban
journals which formerly barely dared 10 call
slavery by its real name are now discussing
means for its abolition. It appears that all
parties are gradually coming to the convic-
ton that pecuniary compensation to owners
OF slaves is quite out OF the question, for
the amount would be very large. and the
treasury OF the Island could not raise it.
The solution Of the slavery question will
ultimately be with the Spanish Cortes, and
it is, therefore, OF the utmost Importance
that men should be elected on this Island
who, free from party spirit, and with full
knowledge OF this country's peculiaritics
and necessities, would be able to impress
the Cortes with what is really needed"

4 DESPERATE PLoT.-Mr. Gould yester-
day received 4 dispatch from Mr.. Clark, Of
the Union Pacific railroad, at Omaha, noti-
fying him OF information, believed to be
reliable, that plot has been formed by the
robbers Of the plains TO rifle the Union Pa,
citc mail and eXpresS-cars. The robbers
are sad TO be numerous enough and dcspe-
rate enough to defy the local authorities.
Mr.. Clark stated i'll his dispatch that the
military commander at Omaha would afford
protection TO the trains, but said the law
fOrbids, and he asked Mr.. Gould to call
upon the President. and ask him to issue
the necessary orders. Mr.. Gould took the
next train for Washington. After his un-
successful search for the officials above
mentioned he went TO the Treasury Depart
ment, where he had an interview with Sec
rotary Sherman. The Secretary thought
the military could be lawfully employed for
the protection OF the mails. Mr.. Gould
Immediately telegraphed 10 Mr.. Clark to
communicate at once with Secretary Nc
Crazy, who is in Iowa. and obtain the ne
ccssarv power. General Sherman is also
absent from Washington, or Mr.. Gould
would have laid the case before him.
