, ‘ CUBAN EXPEDITIONS. ~ Successful 52Maing of Men A Seaport for tho Gem of the Antilles—The Geo. B. Upton Lands Nearly Two Hundred Tons of War Material—The Cubanr in Good Spirits—The Way a Landing is Effected. acasiaisnaing the vigilance exercised by the ‘United States Marshal and his aids Cuban privateers are continually slipping through the meshes of the oMcial.net and finding their way to the scene of the conflict on American soil between monarchy and re. Ppubiicanism. For instance, the expedition of the George B, Upton is a case in point. This daring little craft, which arrived here on Sunday, with its crew of resolute, fearless men, started from Polllon’s ock, Brooklyn, on the 14th of last May, amid the congratulations and enthusiasm of a large number of Cuban ladies, who had come to bid a bon voyage to the patriots wnom they had little hopes of again seeing, well knowing the fate that awaited the gallant band ‘£ captured by their sanguinary- Minded opponents, The leave-takings, were very affecting, and tender, loving women on the dock bore with heroic fortitude the separation from those ‘whom they had most cherished, Here could beseen @ venerable mother, whose refined appearance was n evidence that she in her own country had been “@ Jady in the land.” Now as an exile she was bidding a tender farewell to an only son, who had, almost as f00n a8 manhood was reached, volun- ‘Wored i defence of his SUFFERING AND DOWNTRODDEN COUNTRY. Indeed, there ‘were partings such as press the life from out young hearts,” for on so hazardous an ex- pedition how remote were the probabilities of ever again meeting in this world! As far asthe bend of the river did affectionate, tearfal eyes watch the dimly receding form of the vessel, and when she disappeared many an unfortunate stranger's heart: ‘felt a sense of desolate loneliness, On board, how- ever, there was all the inclination to give way to feelings of sentiment, but action and danger made men oblivious to the past and enforced an activity and alertness which spoke much more of living in the present and looking keenly to the future. There ‘was no waste of time on board the Upton that night; in fact, to be even seasick was entirely out Of piace when such exciting business was going on. At ten o'clock, when about fifteen miles off Barnegat light, she met a schooner called the Quick- step and took on her CARGO OP ARS, Every man of the 259 composing the expedition ‘Worked with a will and tolled all through that long night, transferring about one hundred tons of war ammaterial from the schoouer to the steamer. At nine o’clock the transfer was completed, and the George B. Upton took a direct Southern course. THE CRUISE Was one of little interest, as no Spanish vessel seemed to be on hand. Indeed, there was bat littic chance of any sort of a stringent blockade belng kept when the dificuities of guarding such an ex- tensive coast line as that of Cuba be taken into con- sideration. On the ninth day after leaving New York, or about the 22d of May, the vessel hove in Bight of landand the dim outline of the coast of Cuba was discernable. On account, however, of a beavy northwest gale, it was founa to be practically impossible to effect a suc- cessful landing that night, and it was determined to put off and wait patiently for the followmg evening, wien more could be accom- plished, as arrangements of @ more satisfactory nature for discharging the cargo could be made with confederates on the shore. Just, however, as the Upton was moving off a vessel was discovered on the starboard side, which bore down with great speed until within gunshot distance, when she slackened speed and seemed to regard the strange vessel with much apparent interest. All was now excitement ‘on board the Upton, a tight was imminent, ana the Cubans were preparing to give the enemy a warm reception. The decks were cleared for action, and the revolvers and rifles were carefully loaded and put in readiness. THE SPANIARD, however, thought it best to !eave the stranger alone, and aiter sailing around her for an hour without opening fire or even demanding a surrender, salled, off and gradually disappeared beneath the horizon. The Cubans feit considerably relieved at the unex- pected turn matters had taken, but much to their surprise the early sun of the 23d of May showed toem another hostile steamer, which, through ignorance or disinclination to meddle with an unknown craft, changed her course, steering towards the coast. She Was evidently one of the guuboats, and supposed the Upton was a mail steamer coasting there on govern- ment business. OFF THE COAST. On that night the expedition put again to sea as soon as the last vessel had disappeared, but finally anchored about a quarter ofa mile off the coast and commenced unloading. The weather was balmy and delicious, as mild and pleasant as could possibiy be found under the sun. ‘The scenery, with the varying alternate lights of shade and suoshine towards evening, was of a peculiarly grand and ro- mantic character, Inland stretched the lofty range of the Copper Mouniatns, and from their verdant sides, forming a natural watershed, @ number of streams meandered down to the beach of the island and discharged into the sea, The low tract intervening between the central elevations and the shore seemed to be very fertile, and in one of the streams @ small Spanish gunboat could be seen; but that craft, with a xind of lofty disdain, took no notice of the Upton, and seemed to be enjoying a perpetual siesta. ‘The alluvial mould made the water very blazk. During the operation of unloading a hte accident happened which might have been at- vended with iatal consequences if it had occurred in deep water. ‘his was the capsizing of a boat, ‘with twenty-two men. This delayed work for soine time, although when it was ascertained that no one ‘was drowned, much merriment, despite the auger Of the position, was indulged in. THe RAFTS used on the occasion weve pontoons made of long India rubber tubes, which were inflated by a bellows. ‘They could be packed, when not filled, in a box of four feet square, but when inflated furmed a ser- viceable rait of twenty fect by six, and capable of carrying from ten to twelve tons. These were towed by @ little steam Jauach of about five tons, which formed part of the cargo. The work was con- tnued without interruption —_ until seven o'clock next morning, when seventy-five tons out of the hundred composing the cargo were landed. Believing it to be dangerous to prose- cute the work in daylight, and also desiring to throw: the Spanish authorities off guard as to the locality where material was landed, the captain steamed oif a distance of thirty miles and waited until the fol- Jowing night, and before three o’clock on ihe morn- ing of the 24th the balance of the cargo, consisting of some twenty-five tons, was safely landed. The connections throughout were admurably planned, and this bulky cargo was removed almost in sight of the Spanish authorities and conveyed to a secure ‘depot. The Cubans worked with their accustomed enthusiasm, Dut not being seafaring men, and having ® morbid dread of water, occa- sional doucings in the surf were very laughable. Here ws a distracted youngster making frantic en- deavors to prevent his trunk trom going overboard, and there was another brave equally determined on saving a carpet bag which had dropped into the sea, Away he planges into the briny, gets caught on a tidal wave and is astonished by @ marine toss on the beach, which wag as good 3s @ circus. Up he wets like a haif-drowned rat and the American sail- ors and his own companions rend the air with shouts of laughter. The raft soon returned from the shore bringing Colonel Betancourt, of the patriot army, Who came on board to notify the captain that the landing place was very good and could not be sur- . In addition to its harbor pee the expe. Gition placed themselves under his command and very soon the 260 recruits constructed a capital * INTRENCHMENT of timber and sand, and on each angle a@ monster field piece, brought over in the Upton, was placed, ready for work. ‘The Colonel was in the best possi- ble spirits and felt confident that he could repulse the Spaniarus if they should make an attack, even thongh they exceeded his forces three to one. The scene at the fort brought back many reminiscences of the late war. Here were the same daring reck- and intense patriotism that would brave all for the sake of accomplishing the high purpose for which the struggle was commenced. Swarthy, determined looking men on this evening were Fecilning on the intrenchments and witi that peculiar vivacity which partook more of the French than the Spanish characteristics were discussing matters in an undertone. The cargo had been safely de- posited in a shed, well protected, aud even then preparations were being promptly made to have it removed into the interior. THE ARMS Janded will be of immense service to the struggling Cubans. ‘The Upton leit there 3,250 Enfield refies, 300 Remingtons, 10,500 pounds of powder, 250,000 cartridges ior Spencer rifles, 400,000 cartridges for the Remingtons, 1,000,000 cartridges for the En- fields, 600 matches for cannons, 4,000 pounds of sul- phur, 10,000,000 of caps, 75 cases of clothing, 40 cases Of shoes and 25 cases of medicines and other mate- riaig, At half-past seven on the morning of the 2th ail was ready for sailing: and the ‘ailant Ittle band left behind assembled on the ach aud vent the air with loud huzzas for “Cuba Libre.” The sailors on board the Upton answered ‘with wild yells, and in an hour afterward the place ‘was lost in the distant horizon and the vessel was steering for Port au Prince, Hayti; but the course ‘was S00 CLaDged, gud the Upton arrived at Aspiu- ‘NEW YUKK HERALD, TUESDAY, wall without encountering a Spanish cruiser or one of Delamater’s gunboats between Guanaja, the land- ing place, and Cape Mausi, although keeping within sight of the coast the whole time. THE SECOND EXPEDITION. : ‘The Upton reached Aspinwall about the first day June, and on the third embarked Colonel Marino Lono and ninety-five young, dashing Cubans full of Oght, The ry repairs were soon made to the engme, and another cargo pf war material taken on board, f rovisions, &c. Towards the event ay ine xpedition again set Sal for thes outl, é of Cuba, ‘The cargo amounted to SUNY, war material, On the 9th of June, abo the evening, the oer OF the ful die" was sight ‘The dificulty now was to find a safe landing e, When @ quarter of a mile from the coast @ boat was lowered and four men Were sent ashore to find a sale harbor; but after an hour's search they returned unsuccessful, and tie steamer was obliged to continue on her course, aad afler arun of thirty-five miles found the search at that time of the night to be fruitiess, and accord. ingly hove to until the evening of the 10th. But even now THE DIFFICULTIES were not surmounted, as the confederates on shore could not be found and the Upton’s signals were not returned, This was discouraging, us the cuief of the expedition, Mr, Cisneros, Was anxious to efiect a landing in that particular spot, as the cargo could from it be more readily transported to the army. The impanstbiliie of carrying out his intentions be- coming more and more evident, he decided on iand- ing on the northern coast in about tue same locality as the first discharge took piace. At nine o'clock in the evening of the 12th of June the Upton arrived at. the old rendezvous, and Jmameniatals aller ancuor- ing Colonel Lono went ashore with four of his men to ascertain its Capacities as alanding place. He soon came off much elated ac the favorable prospect offered, and in about twenty mmutes boats were lowered and all hands went earnestly to work, aud Ls ad three o'clock on the morning Of the 13th the following LANDING OF WAR MATERIAL took piace. Colonel Lono was left 2,500 Enficld rifles, 250 Remingtons, 200 Koslings, 100 Spencer carbines, 9,000 pene ost pow jer, 150,000 cartridges for Enfield riffes, for Spencers, 100,000 for Remingtons, 1,000,000 caps, two brass field pieces, with complement of ammunition, and @ nuinber of xes Of Medicines and clothing. At s1X o'clock on the 13th the vessel steamed for gNew York, and ‘kept for several days in sight of the Cuban coast en- Pepdee to find a cruiser, but was disappointed in its laudable pursuit. The last thing left with the pa- urlots was tile stéamer Laurel and a large case of Horped }) Which look like brass kettles, aud are sald be most elfective and destructive. This launch will in future be used as a torpedo boat, and the Spanish men-of-war in the narbur of Havana ‘will some day get a surprise unless they keep a very sharp lookout, The weather was very pleasant, ie thertiometer ranging between seveniy-eight and eighty-five, . NO DEATHS OR SICKNESS occurred, and the commander of the Upton says he cau land as often as he pleases at the same locality, and should he be attacked will have a strong sup- port from the imtrenchments, which now mount several heavy pieces of ordnance. Commander 8, Dornin and his frst officer, Captain R. Summers, late of the Anna, have had considerabie experience in this risky business, and the mate—Henry Cook, a | enmisg of Annapolis—has been some time in the ate War, and knows many of the dodges of blockade running.’ The Upton 13 not a fast vessel, only inanagiog to run about eight and a half knots aa hour; but she seems to have wonderful luck, for if once sighted by @ Spanish cruiser she would have little chance. The officers and men are all very reti- cent, and they have every need to be, as spies are continuously hovering around the vessel attempting to gain information of the future movements, wich will be kept & profoundssecret until the right time comes, A very large expedition 18 now in process: of organization, and most of their cargoes will consist enurely of heavy ordnance for the mounting of the fort at the rendezvous. This place has really become a port of entry, and the Cubans have determined to hold tt at ali hazards, Another Account of the Upton’s Landing. HAVANA, Jane 20, 1870, The steamer George B. Upton has effected a second landing on the Cuban coast. The following particu. lars are given in the official reports from Puerto Principe:— The George B, Upton left Aspinwall on the 8th inst, and on the 12th reached the mouth of the river Herradura, on the Cuban shore. There she Janded Colonel Lono, with twenty-two men, and her entire cargo, consisting of 1,000 stand of arms, a large quantity of ammunition and a French repeat- ing cannon. Some correspondence netween Cisne- ros and Cespedes, which has fallen into the hands of the Spaniards, shows that this cargo consisted of the material left on board at the first landing, sup- plemented with fresh supplies embarked at Aspin- wall. * if Six of the fillibusters have been killed since land. ing, but whether they belonged to the first or second party is not statea. Arumor that the Upton was ashore some where on the coast has sent a number of gunboats in search of her, 5 Ten cases of vomito and cholera are reported in the jurisdiction of Puerto Principe.

AQUATIC. Spirited Contest Between the Harvard and Rut- gers College Crews on the Raritan River — Interesting Display— The Harvards Victorious. New BRUNSWICK, N. J., June 20, 1870, About a fortnight since the crew belonging to the scientific class df Harvard issued a challenge to the crew of Rutgers College to row on the Raritan river. The challenge was promptly accepted, and the event came oif to-day, in presence ot a large and fashtonable assemblage. Considerable interest was attached to the race, for various reasons, among them being the fact that while the crew from Harvard ranked about third in that institution Rutgers put forward hercrack oarsmen, and as it was generally supposed the competitors were pretty evenly matched a sbarp and determined struggle was anticipated. The quaint little city was full of excitement during the entire morning, and as the weather was favora- ble, though somewhat oppressive, the vicinity of the starting point was crowded by an eager throng. The course was from the Raritan Boat Club House at Al- bany street bridge to a s eboat off Old Landing briige, of historic memory, and return—a distance of three miles, The boats used were six-oared gigs, the Raritans having placed them at the service of the young Harvards, The scene prior to the start was exceedingly pic- turesque, and at once demonstrated the pleasurable exotteient which the contest gave rise to. The bridge under which the boats were started was crowded with spectators, while along the banks on either side of the riv- er carriages were drawn up, depositing their fair occupants upon the green sward, there to encourage the contestants by their presence and patiently await the issue of the struggle. The colors of each crew were worn by many groups of the fair sex, and altogether li looked as Uf the eyes of all New Brunswick were centred on the event. The Udy little club house of the Raritan Club was the @ndezvous of the Harvard men, and specula- tions were numerous as to the result of the contest. At haif-past two o'clock a band lent tis lively strains and added much to the pieasure of the occasion, A bevy of hand- some ladies descended tne steps leading to the club house, and, putting off in barges, were rowed here and there by willing cava‘iers, so that by the time of the start the river Was dotted with numerous pretty little crafts. The judges were Messrs. Beck and Kellogg at the home siakeboat and Messrs, Robert- son and Ogelsby at the Old Landing briage, Mr. L. T. Dickson officiating as referee.

THY RACE, Shortly before three o'clock the competitors ap- peared in line. It was flood tiie. At the word “Go” both crews dipped their oars simultaneously, but after proceeding afew boats Jengiis the Rut- gers, by tremendous energy, took asitght lead. rhe Harvards had the inside ees and, prudentiy keeping out of the flood, pulled with much ease and steadiness. It was evident to all that the Rutgers could never sustain the pace at which they were proceeding. Their want of experience was at once apparent. Dipping too deeply and with much trregu- Jarity they splashed and sputtered with intense ex- citement, rowing at times two strokes to the Har- vards’ one. On the other hand the splendid trainmg of the latter, tuelr long, even, gracefal sweep and most of all their coolness, favorably impressed the spectators, and though the Rutgers, when passing tie railroad bridge, were almoct a length ahead, the betting was heavily against them. ‘Tne Rut- ge’ however injudicious, showed considerable pluck and endurance, and when about a mile irom the flaghoat began to — settle themselves to work with some steadiness. Within a quarter of amie from the upper stake boat the Harvards put on a spurt and goon began to overtake their Opponents, who had up to the present man- fuily maintained the struggle. Their inedictency to cope with the Harvard men, however, was quickly proved when the boats betag bow and how, both crows brought thelr best powers to bear upon the Great excitement prevatied, and amidst JO Chi og the Harvards rounded the stake boat in advance, 80 closely ti’ 7 struck the Tommy Dodd 5 THE HO was a capital _performan Not wishing to reli qaish the lead, and appreciating the fact that ti current Was With the boats, the Rutgers once mer suminoned all tieir energies, and by a determin effort sueceeded Incoming up with bac Harvards. Both crews then seemed to take the matter easy, the Rutgers, however, aiill exhibiling the flutter of in- experie! Half way on the return home the Rut- gers, to ul grief, perceived that the Harvard men were noiselessiy gliding away from them, and once again put on a@ spurt to overtake them. It was all im vain. Steadiness and unanimity of stroke had already done their work for the Harvards, who now, nearing the railroad bridge, seemed anx- tons to give a handsome finishing touch to their fine display of Oarsmansnip. The Rutgers were but two boats’ lengths behind, yet all their efforts seemed unavailing. As if by mutual consent both put on the spurt simultaneously when within a few hun- dred yards from the flagboat. Cheer after cheer rose from the banks and from the multitude on the bridge, the band struck up @ rousing air, and amid enthusiastic tokens of approbation the Harvards came in the winners three lengths ahead, the time being as foliows:— Rarita seecceeee 138 MM. 8, Harvard, : 3 Rutgers, 16 . os + 23 The Hi owed their recognition of the pop- ular demonstration by a singular cheer, peculiar to themselves, It should be mentioned, however, that they Were unaccustomed to the gig In which they rowed, having heretofore raced in shell boats, The Rutgers, though defeated, unquestionably Ke rb eXcelient material, and with good training may confidently look forward to another race with their conquerors. It was stated that one of the best men in the crew had taken suddenly il on the day previous, and that his pisce was substituted by another oarsman, who had ad little or no practice. Notwithstanding this, however, they exhibited too much impetuosity, and, to all appearance, overstrained themselves long before their best efforts were required.

POUGHKEEPSIE, June 20, 1870, It does seem as though the fates are determined this season to cover the Hudson river counties with gloom, Cases of death by drowning are becoming frightfully frequent. Buta short time ago @ father ana two sons named Decker were drowned in the Hudson opposite their residence, near Catskill, one endeavoring to save the other, the heartrending af- fair being witnessed by the mother from a window of the house, Next came the terrible scene of yester- day, the drowning of the Rooney brothers, twins, at Fox's dock, this city, and now a still more awful calamity has transpired four miles south of this city, in the middle of the river, opposite the little village of Milton, The particujars are indeed heartrending, and are as follows:— AN EXCURSION, Shortly after seven -o’clock last evening & merry party of villagers, consisting’ of William Miller, aged twenty-eight; John Rowley, aged twenty-four; Elmira Miller, aged twenty-flve, and Melissa Burton, aged twenty-one, all resi- dents of Milton, procured a small boat and, embarking in it, started for a sail on the Hudson. The intense heat of the day had made the placid waters of the river very inviting and the boat Was rowed to the eastern shore, where all got out and took a walk. The shadows of night coming on, it was proposed to return to the boat, and river- . Wards the cheerful party wended Ita way. Once ‘again on the water, the sky being perfectly clear and stariit, and the water unrufled by scarcely a breeze, the party concluded to prolong the sail, which they did tii] after midnight, and then the prow of the boat was turned HOMEWARD. The gentlemen were plying the oars ang the ladies were seated in the stern laughing and chatting, when suddenly it was discovered that there was A TOW IN prgee, bound north. ‘The small boat Was then in the middle of the myer. Words of caution were exchanged by the gentlemen, and the ladies commenced to feel nervous, All eyes were so intently concentrated upon the tow coming up that a PROPELLER BOUND SOUTH Was not noticed at all, Soon, however, the puffing noise from the propeller, which vessel wes now close upon the excursionists, suddenly attracted the atten- uon of Wilita:n, Miller, and at once the real danger was apprehended. And then all eyes were turned northward. Miller dropped his oars and shouted to the pliot to “KEEP OFF |? but the pilot either did not hear him or else was criminally reckless im regard to the situation, Nearer and nearer came the propeller, with speed not in the least slackened, and with lights all set, and burn.ng. At this juncture the occupants of the boat were indeed in A PERILOUS POSITION, The strieks of the ladies and the loud warning eres of the men to the pilot showed @eath was near. The propeller was now so close to the boat that there was positively no hope to avoid the collision, Not having siowed tho least, the propeller struck the small boat amidships, when the latter BROKE INTO FRAGMENTS. Piere'ng cries for assistance went up from the once precipitated into. the ay tothe larboard and the the starboard, while the propeller passed right on as though nothing had happened, and leit its victims to their fate. It was cruel, heartless de- sertion—such a case as has never before transpired on the Hndson, DEATH After a moments shiricking, strang- vulsive clutching at the water the two nd the waters of the Hudson closed over them.

William = Miller, howe: seemed to possess greater powers of endurance, for he swam abont ® quarter of a mile, and landed on Town- send's dock, on the west shore, below Miton, where he immediately became un- conscious.
