of making the subject the basis OF
Diplomatic correspondence.
Judge Leonard, few days ago,
obtained an indefinite leave Of alb
sence from the House and LETT New
York for Havana On the steamship
Columbus, on Wednesday last,
carrying with him a letter from
President Hayes to the Captain
General, and also one from Senior
Mant;lia, the Spanish Munster I'D
dressed to the same. officer, to whom
Judge Leonard will make known
the object Of his mission.
1t is not doubted that the Cap
tain General will afford him every
facility for Ito ACCOMPLISHMENT OF
his mission, besides extending his
own Investigations in the same di-
rection. Another object Of the
mission is to ascertain the true
condition of the insurgents, the Off
cial accounts and those from insur-
rectionary source being c,utrad'c-
tory. While one eide repr. sents
the decline OF the Instruction, the
other asserts the contrary, and
agents have b. en- here in behalf Of
recognition OF their independence
by the United States.
The Captain General viii doubt
less extend 10 Judge Leonard TIE
necessary facilities tor visiting the
insurrectionary district, as Spain
uniformly shows a disposition TO
preserve and strengthen the friendly
relations between Spain and the
United states, which have never
been more amiciablc than they are
now. Should it be found true tina t
negi oes are kidnapped in Florida
or any other Southern Sta'e aid
conveyed to Cuba and sod into
slavery, immediate means will be
adopted to prevent all such out
RACES on persons and violains OF
International law. The objects f
the mission are not pnb icly known
care having been taken to conceal
them, but the above statement IS
confirmed in quarters which
leave on room for doubt.
