CUBA'S TRIBULATIONS. The Goicouria-Cristo Expe- dition. Further Interesting Partienlars—Correspond- ence and General Orders. How Affirs are Mismanzget—Goicou- ria's Broken Promises. Were the secret histories of the various attempts to fle out expeditions in the United States for the relief of the heroic bands of liverly-loving Cubans written py an unblassed pen doubtless some startling narratives of intrigues, Jealousies and crim- inal sacrifice of the cause of Cuban independence to personal advancement and enrichment would be laid bare. With the exception of that fitted out by General Jordan and his associates all we! terized by gross mismanagement on the more or less of the officers Waving the work In charge, ‘The particulars of the attempt made by Ryan and others, under the direction of gentlemen who are styled ihe Junta Cubana, to reinforce the patriots in the Antilles are still fresh 1 the public mind, and it does not require avery keen perception to dis- cover that all the vicissitudes to which that com- mand were subjected, ana which resulted m com- plete disaster, were owing to jealousics existing among the leaders, a lack Of concert of action and very serious mismanagement.

They were subsequently called together tn a building at the corner of Twelfth sireet and Third avenue, where his views and intentiona were fully explained. The encouragement met with by him led to an order for the recruiting of a force which ‘was subsequentiy known as the “Battalion de Caza- dores de Hatuey,” under the command of Colonel L. E. del Cristo. Tie name of the gentleman who had served With distinction in Mexico, and also as the leader in the popalar rising against Spanish tyranny in 1852 In the Vuelta Abijo district, was familar to all Cubans, and they were inspired with a true mili- tary spirit. The recruiting became quite brisk, and as the steamers weekly conveyed from Cuba numer- ous refugees the battalion was rapidly filled up, Notwithstanding the instructions given by General Goicouria ww enlist hove but Cabans and a small delachinent of artillery he accepted all men fit for service, urespective Of nationality, Eariy in Sep- tember he had the finest organization ever enlisted in this city for foreign service, auong whom were several prominent South Atnericaus who had before met the treacherous Spaniard, During the progress of enlistment General Goicourta tett jor the South and established bis ariers in Avlanta, Ga., With the object of en- ent of veterans from the Coniederate was considered necessary to oppose the forces of the enemy that migut be encountered ac the point of fils Geburkation and during his marca to the inte If an idea can be formed from the letters of the Commander-in-Chiei, he Was sanguine ol his ability to succeed tu his cherished scheme, Having gt he details of the cruise of the steamer, Mmay be of titerest to enter more iuily into the details ana reproduce the general orders issued during tt. immediately before is departure for the South to recruit We veteran regiment General Goiwourla addressed (he following letier to Cristo:— AL ARMY OF CURA, } TION ARY DIV is GENFRAicIN-CHIRE.

(‘The witness was directed to hand the Money Wiich he had marked to counsel. He made a remark, which he subsequently attempted to deny, about being afraid to trust it to them.

Witness said he made these marks in New York; was oid by Mr. Davis, chicf detective, to mark these coins; Davis did not telt me that my testimony would need corrovoration; did not know that Mr. Davis Was employed as a decective by the Spanist govern- ment; he was adetective in the United states ser- vice. The witness could not or would not reply to the question “Do you charge the United States with Working out its justice With the dirty tools of spies and informers 7”? Mr, Starpuck did not regard the question as pro- per. Tue government was obliged to employ de- lectives, and did so to ferret out counterfeiters, &c. Mr. Davis said if it was a necessity of the times it Was one to be deplored, But surely the government was not forced to the necessity to employ men to Spy upon and betray thelr comrades jor money. This was not the business of a detective, and he asked the question out of respect to the government, to free it irom the implication made by the witness, Judge Person said that the witness had said that Mr. Davis was ia the employ of we United States, and the opinion of the witness would be immaterial as to the Jast question. Commissioner icutherford thought that the opinion as to what tue governinent did or did not do was of no consequence, and he would not insist upon the Withess auswerlng the question.

Norvell, by Eaton & Tailor, his attorneys, answers the complaint by ayerring that this defendant denies the allegation that the plaintiff maae the complaint herein, and he avers, on iniormation and belief, that this suit was not instituted by the rie Railway Company, and has not been authorized or even approved by said com- pany, and that the suit was instituted and 1s sus- talned by three men—Jay Gould, James Fisk, Jr., and Frederick A, Lane (or by the two former only)—who have illegally and by fraud got contro! of said cor- poration and assume illegally ¢o act in its name, and who have in tts name caused this suit to be insti- tuted, in the hope of silencing criticism of the public ress. # After an elaborate argument on both sides the Judge took the papers and reserved his decision.

The Statute of Frauds—Important to Me chants. . Before Judge Monell. Cc. W. Hankins et al. vs, Abner Baker et al.—This action was brought to recover tne sum of $1,967, being the price of ten casks of Turkish prunes, at 14%¢. per pound, sold by the plaintitts to the defend- ant in August, 1868. This sale was made through a broker, who signed the contract on behalf of the defendants and delivered it to the plaintilt, receiv- ing from them at the same time the warehouse order for the pranes, which he delivered to the defend- ants. ‘The defence was, that the contract for the goods being for more than fifty doilars was void under the statule of frauds, “not being subscribed by the party to be charged thereby.” And also, that there had been no acceptance of the pranes by the deiendants. After the plaintiif® had closed his case the counsel for the defendants moved to dismiss the complaint on both of the above grounds. ‘The Court decided that the signing of the contract by the broker, who was acting as the agent of the defendants, was suMcient to bind his principal, and also that the delivery and accept- ance of the Warehouse order was sufmicient to trans- fer the order and place the goods within the power and under the exclusive dominion of the defendants.

A REAL HIGHWAY ROBBERY. A Brother of John Real in Trouble—Highway Robbery in Harlen—Two Bad Characters Caught. Withia the past week the pubitc has been caused no inconsiderabie shock by certain rumors which were floating about as to John Real, the murderer of officer Smedick. The name of Real was in every- body's mouth, and no little consternation was caused by the statement that tire convicted murderer was again at Jarge. From recent revelations it seems that the public mugt be right in thefr fears as to the Real family. Of all the crimes which oan be committed against soctety the two of the darkest dye are murder and highway robbery. The wilful taking of life must rank first in the calendar of crimes, and that of highway rob- bery is but second to it, from the fact that violence to the person 1s always one of its accompaniments, John Keal now lies in @ felon’s cell, condemned to die for the commission of murder, and his brother ‘Thomas to-day stands ee with highway rob. bery. The circumstances under which the brother of the condemned murderer was arrested are briefly a8 follows:—Between twelve and one o'clock on Sunday morning a peaceful German resident of Har- lem, named Henry J. Muller, was on his way home, He had arrived at 108th street, and was walking between First and Second avenues, when he was set upon by two men. His assailants 9oon levelied him, and, while he was in no condition to help him- self, the two men robbed him of a@ gold watch and chain, In the course of the struggie Muller made suiicient noise to call the attention of oiticer Coogan, of the Twenty-third Pd who ar- rested two men, orn of t bp tary) were recognized by Muller as the men Who had attacked and robbed him.

Both men were taken before Juatico Kelly, at fell into the river at pier No. 40 Kast river and waa Growned.

The inspection of this regiment was held yester- day at Tompkins square, and, as is usually the (case when it turns out, there was a very large crowd of spectators to witness the evolutions, and those who expected to see a fine review were not destined to disappointment, The regiment came on the ground by companies, and exciusive of two or three errors, which were more of omission than com- mission, the review was perfect in every re- spect The passing in review was splendidiy done, every officer, with one or two exceptions, saluted at the proper time, and the distances were well kept until the march past had ended. In start- ing, however, the command “March!” was given before the ranks had closed up, and when the regi- ment wheeled into line at the close of the review several companies lost their distances, leaving very large gaps in the line, It was supposed that the review would have also been done in double time, but, owing to the iateness of the hour ar which the inspection began, it was omitted. None of the field or start officers were mouated, ‘The men had on their knapsacks and overcoats rolled, the equipment of the command being, in fact, all that could have been desired, ‘rhe strife potwcen the several companies for the honor of having present the greatest number of men, which had been quite active for weeks previous to the inspection day, resuited in a large turn out; but it was left for the company of Captain Allison (com- pany A) to bear off the palm. It has on its roll ninety-one members, and had ninety pratt the absentee being confined to his bed by sickness. it will thus be seen that this company has shown itself, comparing it with the companies of the regi- ments which have already been ispected, not only the largest company in the Seventa regiment, but the largest in the State militia, It may be that the “crack” company of the ‘lwenty-second, which will be inspected next week, will outstrip {t, but that remains to be seen. The company which equalied A company in the aggregate, but not tn actual numbers, was Company G, Captain George Moore Smith, it turning ous 70 of 71 enroiled mem- bers. The other companies inspected as follow: B, present 70, absent 24; ©, D, present 61, absent 23; E, present 74, absent 35; F, present 52, absent 16; H, present 76, absent 18; I, present 55, absent 27; K, esent 56, absent 21. ‘here were three field oft present, five svat, seven non-commissioned staff and 44 of the band, making a grand total of 718 and a total number of absentees of 153, The Seventh ts, therefore, at tho head of the list for numbers of ali the regiments that have been inspected up to the present tune, and the indications are that it will not be made to change positions with any other command that is yet to be inspected. Colonel Ciark has reason to be proud of the regiment which he has the honor to command, and if its appearance yesterday can be taken as a criterion of its future there can be no fear that the Seventh will fall from the high rank it at present occupies in the National Guard as the ‘“crack’’ corps of the State militia. ‘There was one feature of the inspection, however, which did not redound to the discipline of the regi- ment, and that was the way the men were allowed to smoke and play ball and roam about during the inspection of certain companies. It did't look well and should not have been permitted, Inspection of the Eleventh Regiment. ‘This fine regiment, which is under the command of Colonel Lux, and which always makes a good show on inspection day, was inspected yesterday forenoon, and presented a very fine appearance. ‘The marching in the review and the keeping of dis- tances migbt nave, however, been improved upon, and several of the officers did not salute properiy. During the inspection the men followed the move- ments of the inspector a3 he went along the lines altogether too much. The soldier shoud feos! his eyes to the front during the insvection, and not aliow mimself to be disturbed by the inspector's movements along the ranks, There were 573 men in jing. Reunion of the Sixth New York Cavalry. , ‘The fourth reunion of the Sixth New York oavairy, or rather the officers of that regiment, took place at Delmonico's tast evening. The few surviving officers who came back with the command, assemble every year to fight o'er again the battles won and lost by the gallant privates, dead or forgotten, The atten- dance last mght was meagre, but vain-giorious, A board of oillcers were elected for the ensuing year.
