On Saturday last arrived in the harbor the mail steamer Espana, having on board a regiment of volunteers of Santander, composed of wo cnlefs, forty-three officers, thirty sergeant® and 1,000 men.

Wasiinaron, Deo. 20, 1869, The President to-day transmitted to the Senate a voluminous document in reply to tne resointion calling for information with regard to Cuba. Vice Consul General Hall, in a letter to Secretary Seward, November 18, 1868, guoteg the views of a conservative Cuban—nameiy, the ni of the Spanish revolution 1s enthustastically received in Cuba—and stating the views of the Cubans as to slavery are diverse, Some desire immediate and others the gradval abolition of slavery, while not a few de- sire the continuance of the institution. The insurrection in the _Eastern and Central Depart- ments is represented to be formidable. Mr. Hall adds that good order prevails in his department. In another letter dated Decem- ber 17, 1663, he says that the insurrection 8 gainmg strength, The condiuon at Matanzas 1s general dis- trust and paraiysis, In #ebruary, 1869, he trans- raitted a letter from the consular agent st Sagua la Grande; the state of things there is much exagge- rated and he sends particulars. Mr, Hail transmits to the Secretary of State, Mr. Washbarne. March 11, 186%, What purports to be @ decree of the Insurgents’ assembly, abolishing slavery. My. Hall, Maren 27, 1869, trausinits to ihe Second Assistant Secretary of State, Mr. Hunter, the decree of the Captain Gene- ral, dated Marcn 24, authorizing captures on the high sews of Vessels carrying men, arms, munitions or eifects in aif of the insurgents and directing tie execution, as pirates, of persons 60 captured. Secretary Fist informs Minister Roberta that United states citizens have the right to carry on the high seas articles destined for the enemies of Spain, Bupject w seizure of such as May be contraband of War or to capture for @ Violation of a lawtfuliy estao- lished biockade, It ia consequently hopea the pro- clamatton will be recalled, or such instructions given as will prevent its illegal application to culzens of the United States or their property. A contrary course might endauger the friendly and cordial rélations becween the two governments, Which it is the sincere desire of the President siouid be maintalued, Mr. Hall, under date of April 2, 1869, transmits a Jeter from Kemedios, and says the majority of American merchants agree with the writer, who States that American born ciuzens were well treated by the Spanish authoriues, Minisver Roberts addresses Secretary Fish on the 5th of April, He says:—“Altempis ‘are made vy false and exaggerated statements and public nee uigs to create seatiment in favor of Cua. Persons in New York style themselves ‘the independent gov- erpment of Cuba,’ and despatek expediiions and armas in aid of the tnsurgents.”? Secretary Fish, 11 repiy to Mr. Koberts, April 17, says be does not perceive the necessity or propriety of issoing gach proclamation. When President Fillmore’s proclamation was Issued peace prevatied in Cuba, but an armed invasion was threateued from the United States. Nowa portion of the people of Cuba are jn insurrection to redress alleged wrongs, and no expeditions are leaving the United States. ‘ Mr. Roberts, he adds, admits that whenever called upon the officers of the Cnited States bave interfered efectually to prevent violations of jaw. The United Staies are stik suffering trom the effects of precipitate recognition of belligerent rights, which waa done by joreign nations a little more than two months after tae outbreak of insurrection in this conntry. This government, from its very origin, has been fore- mast in the assertion of neutral rights and tn setting tae example of enforcing &@ strict neutrality. This r diebag eee does not tatend, st present, to aepart ‘om its traditional policy, but will execate in good faith the wise aud efficient laws that have been enacted for the observance of its Internauonal duuies of peutraiity and fnendsnip. The sympathy of the Unied States is with people = striving to secure the fight of self-government and with ail efforts to free this continent from transatlantic control; but they desire to maintain friendly relations with governments still claiming coutrol over neighboring possessions. They will not abridge the right of free discussion, but will liout thetr toterference to preventing the uniawfui acts in infraction of thelr obligations to Spain and ower iriendly powers. Mr. Hull to Secretary Fish, April 22, transmits the decree of April 11, 1869, prohibiting alienation of property except with the assent of the governivent. Secretary Fish to Minister Roberts, April 30, says:—The President has seen with regret the de- cree, and hopes It way be Modified so as nov to be applicable to property of citizens of the United States. Mr. Hall to Svcretary Fish, April 30, trans- mits Count Valmaseda’s proclamation of April 4, that every man over fitteen found away from home may be shat; that every unoccupied house and every bouse not flying a white fag may be burned, and that women hying at home or with their relations may be carried forcibly © Jiquan! or Bayamo; also tu- forming the department that Count Valmaseda was moving nie — into the country. Secretary Fish, May 10, 1869, protests, in the In- verest of civilization and humanity, againat Count Valmaseda’s proclamation, Secretary Fish to Mr. Hall, May 11, directs him to make representations to the Spanish government against (ouat Valmaseda’s prociamation. Mr. Hall to Assistant Secretary of Stato Davis, 8, letter giving an account of mili- ory ui General Plum to Secretary Fish, May 28, transmits a copy of the authorization of a loan of 8,000,000 1b Havans for suppressing insurrection. ‘nis money is understood to be nearly exhausted.

Mr. Hall informs Secretary Fisn, June 3, of the lawless conduct of the volunteers at Matanzas. -Mr. Plumb, Juve 4, acquaints Secretary Fish of the deposition of the Captain General. ‘The insurgents, he says, are mOsily Creoles. ‘The Spanish residents, With the business and prosperity identified with the island, are dissatisied with the conduct of the gov- ernment, ‘They wish the war was ended.

The treaty of 1790 co! no rights over vessels of tue Uniied States in time of peace. If S| is at war it should ve known, in order that notice be imunediately given of the re- Strictions that such state entails Upon the commerce of the United States, Mr. Fish asks whether Spain re astate of war as existing, and states that the coutinuance oi the decree or an atkempt to euforce it will be jed as a recognition by Spaui Of @ state of war with Cupa. Mr. Plumb to Secretary Fish, July transmits the moditication of the Governor General's decree of duly 7, as to the search of vessels on the nigh seas; also the general order of the Captain General jor the conduct of the war with more humanity, Minisier Sickles, Angust 12, to Seorei Fish, communicates his conversation with the Spanish Minister, saying:—"The Minister, interrap! me, as if he tuought I bad gone quite tar en for the present at least—acknowledged the sincere and legal manner in which the government of the United States had fulfilled its in na) duties in regard to the Cuban insurrection, in former days, When the pro-siavery party held the reins of power, there was some anxiety from time to ume jest the recklessness of filibusters should involve the two nations in difficulty; but since the victory of the national cause the laboring people of Spain have come to Ta the Uniied States as Weir national friend. The common quesuon was ope of the utmost gravity and delioucy, It was the Mrention of the Spaniso jberals, who initeved and executed the revoiutionary movements which have given to Spain its new political ilfe, to make a@t the earliest momevt provision for guarantee- ing self-government to Cuba; but this fatal insurrection broke out the very moment when it was beco! ossibie to give to Cuba all the nghtw she desired, The cry of “Death to Spaniards’? was heard In Spain and it became 1m} ‘inte in the face Of civil War Co carry out the beneticent plan they had formed. ‘Ine iberal party in Spain ynds itaelf, to 1te own infinite regret, forced to a seeming sympathy with the revolutionary party of Cuba, and the lip- erals of Cuba who ought to be its firm friends are converted by the fatality of the situation 1n00 its bit terest enemies. There 1g no sentiment dearer to the hearts of the liberal leaders than thar o! “trcedom to ail inen;” yet they showed before the world m this Cuban conflict as opposed to selt-gov- ernment and resisting the abolition of slavery, He considered the insurrection a3 1 most deplorable misfortune and mistake both for Cuba and Spain. If a Way could be found to settle all these questions in such a manner as to do justice to Cuba witheut m- A hoe, the honor of Spain the government would be greaty gratified. ‘There ts no mtention again to work the isiand of Cuba on tho old or desire aa the itberals of Spain ever siavery system. It has been their constant wisa to grant the Cubans the administration of their own and the fuil favor of thelr own liberty, pre- serving their commercial connecuon and some sbadlow of tueir politica! relations, Minister Sickles to Secretary Fish, August 14, en- closes article 108 of the barge constitution, about Cuba. Mr, Slivela regal it as preventing action upon Cuba tl Cuban deputies arrive at the Uortes, Minister Sickles also communicates Auguss 20, a conversation he bad with General Prim, in which ¢ latter suid wita great earnestness and emphasis, et the United States be assured of the ‘goou and the good Gisposition of Spain. Formidable as the insurrection may become, it has not yet reached the proportions of any of those coniicts in which goverpinents have found themselves constrained to treat during hostilities, The Cuban insurgents hold no city or forwress, Tuey have no pors, no ships. They have uo army. They do not presume to oiler or accept battle, ana = now, before the period arrives for active operations, when Spain will send the ample reiniorcements tie holds in readiness, it 1s owly necessary for the Cubans 10 accept the assurance of the United ptates, given on the faith of Spaim, that they may have their independence by laying down their aris; electing their Geputy and deciaring tgolr right to be iree by a vote of the people.” Minister Sickie4 agatn writes to Secretary Fish, August The President of tue Councti said there 18 @ Vast ‘erence between the present insurrection in Cuba and the revolutionary movements by which the republics of the American Continent’ gainea their independence. In wuose days negotiaiions were resoited to after campaigas hud been jought and batties iost and gained. They had armies in the heid and organized governments supporting them. We see noting of this in Cubs. Onty mere roving bands, who fly when they are pur- sued aud have never been found in number suilicient to give or accept battle. ii is very possibie that in vhe lapee of ume the insurrection may become mor: formidable. It m&¥ raise armies, it may take cit! and fortifled towns, It may demonstrate what it nas not belore demousiratea—that it is supported by majority of the population. in that case Spain will have someching taagibie to treat with. But we hope vo avoid all this bivodshed, disorder and ruin by making some amicable arrangements now.” Minister Sickles to Secretary Fish, August 24, says ‘In general 1 find less susceptibility tothe of @ transier of the island. to tho United Suates hav to @ concession of the Independence of Cuba. ‘There 8 an apprelension that the persons and prop- erty of the Spaniards in Cuba would not be safe under Cuban control, Tals iupression, 1 hear, pre- vails 1 Catalonia.” Mr. Roberts to Mr. Fisn, September 18, submita various considerations and arguments against what he understands to be the settied purpose of the United States to accord belligerent rights to Cuben insurgents, Mr. Fis replies, under date of October 13, and after stating that Mr. Koberts’ letter was not re- ceived until September 26, when just leaving Wash- ington, say#:—“ic might be sufficient answer to say that no intention to grant beiligerent rights has beea announced. It is @ more periect answer co say that no such intention has been reached by the United States. Mr. Fish is pleased that Mr. Roverts draws his authorities from Ube history and the statesmen of the United States, and reminds him that Spain conceded belligeroucy to the South #ixty-six days after the bloodless assault on Suniter, The United States had elo- quently remonsirated, in the interest of humamty, agaiust the manner im which the Cuban coniict is waged, The present stave of affairs cannot be indetiuitely proionged, and the United*States reserve the right of fature action. Unlawiul expeditions in aid of the Vaban insurgents have been planned, and one succeeded; but the United States has always been ready vo act on ib- formation furnished by Mr. Koberts, and has acted on such information, even When it has proved erroveons.”? Minister Sickles telegraphs to Secretary Fish, Sep- tember 26, that tue volnateers are to be disbauded On tie Cessation Of hostiities, scandalous execu- tions to be stopped, slavery to be graduaily abol- ished, and liberal reforms to be grauted without waicing lor fbe termination of the war, Mr, Davis, September 4, transmits the substance of Sickies’ telegram vw Mr. Plumb, and instructs him to quire foto and report on the same, Mr, Plumb to Mr. Davis, October 2), reports that he does not think the disarmament of tue volunteers practicable, and sees no intention te coase hioatill- Ves before the insurrection is suppressed, ‘The rulers in Cuba desire to stop the effasion of blood, and the general opinion ts that abolition should be aly but none think it should be deferred over Ive years, A mass of correspondence is given relating tothe decree of tne Governor General concernidg passen- ger By gs and its modificauion procured py Ar. am Minister Sickies, on October 16, transmitted to Secretary Fish a copy of a decree according liberty of worship in Cuba; also a copy of Silvela’s note de- siring the President to use his influence with Cuban refugees to secure @ less savage character to the war, and to relcase the Spanish gunboats, which are neither intended to operate t Pera nor Cav: but to defend the coast against filibusters an rates. ‘5 Consul Plumb to Secretary Fish, Ocfober 15, states that Sibanicu, @ hamlet, and Guaimaro, a Village of 808 inhabitants, are the only places occupied by the insurgents; and on the 2d of Novemberinforms him that both the places have been destroyed.
