Steamship Company, returned from
Nuevitas, Cuba, to New York with
sixty six passengers, the majority Of
whom had left a few weeks ago to
settle as stockholders in that Eden
of delight-as it was pictured-La
Gloria, Cuba.
The majority of the returning vO-
yagers had the same story to tell.
La Gloria, they said, was well nigh
inaccessible, and covered with trees
and scrub growth.
A few, who were inclined to favor
the company, said that a mistake
had been made in permitting colo
nists to go to La Gloria before the
place was ready to receive them.

In speaking of the crossing Of tho

observation that this seems to indi-
cate that the river was crossed where
It was practicable rather than at
place well suited to the plan of cam
paign. We have to remain content
for the present with the meagre de-
tails furnished by the cable, but there
seems little reason to doubt that the
entire movement has resulted in
failure, and that in "burning his
ships behind himn as General Butler
appears 20 have done in crossing the
river without taking into cOnsidera-
ton the fat that he might be driven
back to it, he has committed, in a
military sense what the First NapO-
leon described as Worse than a crime
"a blunder. Tue Beers have so
much the advantage of position that
even if all the other elements of the
problem were equal, the British
would have an uphill fight on their
hands; but when to this is added
what seems to be the conceded fact
that the BOer artillery, and especially
their large guns, is far superior to
that of the English; both as regards
rapidity of fire and range, the efforts
of the latter to penetrate the Trans.

And yet, the British nation is not
