FERNANDO LOPEZ DE oUERALTo:
This gentleman furnished the following
affidavit: ., r,u,.,o4 30
limited States of America, Southern District OF
Fernando Lopez de Queralto Of
alto. of the Island of Cuba, VINO was an
officer in the Union army, atfirms ana says
that during the year -, WINE nolulns III
the liberal army of Cuba the rank ofcol0nel
in the jurisdiction of Santiago in Cuba, l
found a colored man wholly ignorant oil the
Snsnish language, but his native tongue
heinp English. These facts attracted my
attention.. He said he came from Louis
lana and was brought with others like him
self to Cuba in 1866, and since then I'VE nave
been working as slaves in a sugar planta-
ton. We can't get away to go 70 the
work and receive no wages" He said he
knew nothing of the city or consu's. when
+ heard a rebellion had broken out, !
managed to escape and come to you"
This negro came from plantation near
New Orleans, called the Earring Place" as
he stated. On O'Callahan's plantation, IN
the jurisdiction of Santiago, there were sew
eral negroes who spoke only the Engllsh
tongue and were not natives OF Cuba. AT
many places there are slaves brought since
the war between the north and the
south from the United States, and
sold into slavery in Cuba, and
this horrible traffic has fourished
for eighteen years to my knowledge.
The nefarious traffic is conducted on
American ships.

too. like the original African slave-trade, 1t
is conducted exclusively by blessed New
Enclanders. In the convention that
framed the Federal constitution every
southern state voted for the immediate ex-
tinction of the slave trade, while these New
ENGLAND states caused the internal traffic
10 be extended till it was protrGcted even
into this country. Their devotion 10 the
unhallowed business extends itself with
these most horrible aspects aud shapes, at
Tewkesbury and in Cuba, even into our
time, and becomes the more odious since
