THE CUBAN REVOLUTION.
Two Bands Of Insurgents in Cuba What the
Refugees in New York Are Doing
in Behalf Of the Cause Of
Cuban Independence.

The latest news from Cuba, published Ii
La independence Of New York, states that
the present revolutionary movement In Cuba
Is more important than 1t is generally be-
IIeved. After the treaty Of peace many bands
OF patriots were scattered throughout the
island. They had not, however, any political
character whatever. To-day the matter Is
quite different. Two Generals, Jose Maceo
and Belisario Peralta, have raised the STAN
dard OF revolution against Spain, the former
In the jurisdiction Of Santiago de Cuba, and
the latter In that Of Holguin. Both places
were in 1868 the birthplace of the war of in
dependence, which lasted during nine years
and was closed with the treason OF the Cuban
Chamber of Representatives.
In the meantime there has been very i'm
poftant conference at Jamaica between Major
Gen. Calixto Garcia, president Of the revolu-
tionary committee at New York and one of the
most skillful and strategic soldiers Of the
Cuban army and Major Generals Maxine
Gomez and Antonio Marco. The future will
tell the results Of this conference. Another
important leader of the Cuban army Gen.
Vicente Garcia, Is daily expected in New York,
where the revolutionary committee, formed Oh
well known Cuban soldiers, Is doing good
work for Cuban Independence. =M=

IA RIVER BASIN FOR BOATS AND
BARGES.
NEW ORLEANS, September 8, 1879.

NEW ORLEANS. September s, 1879.
aI,o the Editor of the Democrat
Knowing by the tenor d. the many recent
articles which I have perused In your paper
mat YOU take especial interest in all per-
tanning to the material advancement of the
commercial interests of New Orleans, Is my
apology for sending you brief statement In
reference to an enterprise which has now as
sumed tangible form. and bids fair TO become
one OF the requirements necessary for the ad-
4yanoement of our future river traffic.
About a year ago paid considerable atten-
ton to a project which ! then conceived OF
constructing an inland water basin on the
margin Of the Mississippi river. for the pur-
nose Of better and safer accommodation OF
the tlatbcats and barges which are SO extern
sively employed thereon for the transporta-
ton Of freight from the great West to the port
of New Orleans. The recent serious damages
and losses resulting to the coal boat fleet
moored In the river, whereby q very consid-
cradle, valuable and important branch OF our
inland commercial wealth was suddenly de-
! stroyed, inspired me with renewed interest in
respect to this important matter, and con-
6ulting men of enterprise, energy and zeal in
asaehaf of this scheme, having for Its object
The New Orleans daily Democrat. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1877-1880, 1879-09-11
ORLEANS DEMOCRAT THURSDAY SEPTEMBER H. 1879

the improvement Of our commercial condi
ton, am enabled 10 say that an inland basin
will be- cons tructed In suitable locality for
about two hundred and fifty flatboats III
barges, and the necessary means for the con-
struction Of the said basin have been positive
LIZ assured.
The basin will be quadrilateral In outline
and 800 by 800 feet, with 10 feet depth of
water near the river, TO which it will be con-
nected by means Of O short canal and lock
through which any kind Of fatboats OF
barges may readily pass from the river to
the basin, or the reverse. Powerful pumping
machinery will be applied to the end # keep
ing the basin at all times well supplied with
water whenever the surface OF the adjactn mt
river may fall below the level Of the. water
contained within the basin. An inland basin
substantially constructed, embaDkments well
protected, with no more water than absolute
ly necessary to float the barges moored there
In, with suitable lock and canal connecting
said basin with the river, 60 as to render the
basin easily accessible, will afford pertect'v
secure anchorage Tor 1atbohts ~ DhiRes,
whether they be freighted with coal, grain or
any other class OF merchandise. LII hy chance
an extraordinary storm or sudden hurricane,
Il, Vie on whirwind should occur TO the extent
of seriously threatening the safety on tDe
boats the lock will be 80 constructed as 10
xllow In d brief space of time the discharge
of sufficient water from the basin to leave the
boats with their freight safely sheltered and
Embedded upon the puddled bottom, to he
again hoated by means OF the pumping ma
chimes.
The expenses attending the reception OF
boats, the proper guarding, supervision and
retention OF them for any length OF time, and
their delivery to the river when required by
their owners, will be considerably lower than
the general charges which now accrue for the
uoorinp of the same boats In the open river,
where, as the late sad experience proves.
there was no security nor protection that
could possibly be afforded to the boats in dis
trnss.
The great number Of barges which will De
required for our rapidly increasing inland
requirements will necessitate
an immense accommodation. Our capitalists
and men Of enterprise should, In view OF these
facts herein briefly stated, be prepared with
facilities for the proper accommodation 81
this prospective commerce., and 1t may safely
be declared that the pecuniary Inducements.
which the Inauguration aud construction Of
such accommodations will, in g. pecuntary
point OF View be of the most satisfactory anu
character.
