To ths knowledge ot the prisoners this government has not yet taken the first step for their trisi, although the atten‘ion of the Captain General of Caba has been frequently dovited to their case by the United Siates Consal. In connection with this glaring outrage, and in order to put it in mora saacy relief for iosugural attention, the regularly shipped Portuguese slaver seamen who were taken with them hava loag since been released, and tw9 of them, at leass, have made a voyage to the coast of Africa, and retarned to Cuba with a cargo which has been safely delivered.
