ALLEGED KIDNAPPING OF CoLoRED CITIZENS
OF FLORIDA FOR SALE IN CUBA SPECIAL
MEssENoER SENT TO INVESTIGATE THE Az
FAIR-THE INsuRREcT1oN TO BE LOOKED
AFTER.
WASHINGTON, Feb. %, 1873
Several weeks ago the President received a letter
from reliable source stating that the writer was In
possession OF acts, capable OF direct proof. to the
effect that coored men, citizens OF Florida. had been
kidnapped and transported across the Cult Of Mexico
into Cuba and there sold into slavery. Tho writer
says that members OF the families of some OF the On
shaved citizens had received intelligence IRON Cupa
from their relatives stating that they wcre held IN
bondage there, and the matter was communicated to
tho Chief Executive OF the United States for
such action In the premises might be
deemed best calculated to vindicate the
Amerisan dignity, in view Of procedure So grossly
IN violation oi tho civilization OF the times. The con-
tents of icter occasoned much surprise to the Prcs
dent as tho FIRST time at he had learned any,
thing upon tho subject With view Of asccrtaining
tho truth Of the statement he concluded to despatch
q confidential agent to Cuoa for that purpose
THE AGENT sKLEcrEp.
Such an agent was found in Judge Leonard, tho re.
publican momber from Louisiana IN the House OF Rep.
rescntatves gentleman discreet and courteous, and
familiar with tho spanish language 1t was thought
advisable pursue this direct course instead OF muk
ing tne subject the basis of diplomatic
Judge Leonard a few days ago obtained indefinite
leave OF absence from the House and left New York
for Havana tho steamship Columbus on Wednesday
last carrying with him letter from President Hayes
TO Inc Captain General and also one from Sehor Man
tilla tho Spanish Minister, addressed 10 tho samo
officer, TO whom Judge Leonard will make known tho
objects OF his mission. 1t is not doubted that the
Captain General Will afford him every facility for thu
ACCOMPLISHMENT OF his nilsson, besides extending his
own invest cations In tho same direction.
CONDITION INSURGENTS.
Another obi, ,ct OF the mission ~ to ascertain tho
true condition OF tho insurgents. the official accounts
ana those from nsurrcctionary sources beng contra
dctvry. While side represents the decline OF
tho insurrectop the otner asserts the contrary and
agents have been here in behaif OF the nsur rgcnt
Curaus with view 10 the recognition Of their indc-
pendcncc by the United States
The Captain General Will doubtless extend TO Judge
Leonard the necessary facilities for visiting the insur
rectionary district, as Spain uniformly shows u
dis position preserve ana strengthen tho
friendly relations between Spain and the
United States, which have never been moro
micablc than they are now. should II DO found
true that negroes kidnapped IN Florida or any
otner Southern State and conveyed 10 Cuba aud 80
into slavory immediate means will be adopted TO pre-
vent all such iuturo ouragcs persons and VIOLA
lions OF Internal ional law.
