CUB a A. Bitter Partisan War Between the Friends and Foes of Yalmaseda. QTUPENDOUS CORRUPTION UNEARTHED, ‘ctamerintaribclabeaaticaat oe Emancipated Negroes Sold and Ac- eountod for as Dead. Valmaseda’s “Swag” Three Million Dollars. - Bee etree Bard Fighting Between Spanish Troops and Cubans. ‘WME MEW CAPTAIN CENERAL PRO TEM. Havana, July 13, 1872. Me week just ending furnishes news of a very fateresting character in the affairs of this Island, But from its nature foreshadows sad prospects and @¥il consequences to the future of Cuba, The oppo- ite opinions entertained among thore who call Memeeives “the drmest pillars that sustain the Mbric of national integrity’—tye volunteers and @asinos~are dally pecoming more conflicting and @ontradictory, and divides them into bitter antag- @mism.. The recent event upon which so much of @omsequence hinges, namely, the recall of Count Walmaseda, has given rise to much of this Bard fecting. It 1s virtually acknowledging ihat all @fVaimaseda's efforts to crush out the rebellion— and in wiich he has been engaged almost from its fmeeption as commander-in-chief—have resulted Darren. Strong elforts were being made by a umber of his partizans, principally in the inte- wior, where he has formed and interested ad- Rerents to his fortunes, to petition the supreme government toretain him in command. Every city and town throughout this island has its “Casino,’» @r club, which ts largely supposed to in- Buence the political opinion and control the local faterests of the place, and to be intensely loyal to the superior government; but the real governing power of these cities and towns is in the hands of amulitary officers appointed by Valmaseda—creatures @f his will, who owe their place and advancement to Bim, and who can only retain their fat posts while Be remains inthe chicf command of the island, ‘Phe Spaniarda all over the island, while not being particularly partisans of Valmaseda, and able to ‘talk with the fury of lions over the s:ruationamong themselves, or before the poor Cxsans, and brow. Reat them, beconte as Meek as inzmbs before their Governors. INTRIGURS IN FAVOR OF VATMASEDA, Tt 1a therefore ensily understood how Valma- tda's followers would readily resort to ali manner @f intrigues and subterfuges for the purpose of Reeping thelr chicf and protector in command, Therefore it is that the popular sentiment Is repre- sented by the various Governors of the cities and towns throughout the island; and, to further it, all Binds of “artful dodges" are resorted to to call meetings of vclunteers to prove to them that the Selicity of Caba and thomselves depends upon thd @oughty Count; that he alone could bring peace to this unhappy land, and all @ther clap-trap argument ayatiable for the e@ccasion. Therefore, prompted by the governing adhorents of Valmazeda, messages from the various Casinos were received by the Casino Espaiiol, the Spanish head centre here, begging it to forward gach messages 13 would best meet their views, and to petition the home government for the further @ontinuance in office of Valmaseda. It was gener- ally known that the Count had sent in his resigna- tion conditionally, dictating as the terms upon which he would congent to withdraw it, that he ‘Must be allowed still farther extraordinary powers, such aa had been gianted in former times only to the most favorite captain ge: "Ss.

Ws Sepandi, Vaimaseda’s organ, edited by Adolio ues Sterling, & Dative of Cua, and before he entered the field of journalism a prominent lawyer @f this city, published fast Sunday a leaicr, from which I translate the following paragrapiis to show the bitterness of feeling now existing :— Kuow ye that never have wa asked any favor of the Count Valmascda, We owe him nothing, or rather we e him all that the country owes hun, wstand I, You do not allow that authori itis authority.

RANCOR OF POLITICAL PARTIR. Nothing as pluln and strong against the Spanish @orcheads here has ever before been published in ‘whis city, and it is ¢ understood What sensa‘ion M% caused. On ‘ucsday last the Casino Espanol Reki uw meeting of its most prominent political Members to discnsa the coming change, and the re- sult was the revignation of its President, Don Lorenzo Pedio. it ts reported that during the Meeting the rancor of political opinion rose so high @nd was so vivient that members forgot, in their advocacy of the claims of Vaimaseda, Concha, &e., Gue decorum, and misbehaved ontrageously, which @nly tends to increase the already acriiiontons rit § =notic recently. — But qaseda now ceased to be the chief the island, On Thursday the @f turning over his command took piac half hour the vicinity of the 5 erowded and animated by volunteers and citizens, Qnd precisely at noon, in the presence o: a large Buber of officers of the diiferent brar ernment, civil and military, volunteers, corpora. 8, foreign Consuls, &c., General Vatmaseda, who tor nearly four years has played so vouspicuous eréle in th:s isiand, first as Co:nmandi g General @f operations In the Central and East ment, and since December, 1870, a8 Captain General @nd Superior Political Gove: nor, delivered over his eharge to Don FranctacoCeballos y Vargas, Segundo Cabo, appointed by the King Captata General fterimn.

FAILURE. | THE FAWNIZ'S More Particulars About the Minm Cuban Expedition, SANTIAGO DE OvBa, July 7, 1972, | Among the different rumors concerning the state | of the insurrection In this district, and which from | time to time have been reported and spread | throughout this elty, that which had more versions and widely different ones related to the burning of | the steamer Fannie and the capture of the untorta- | nate expedition she brought to tils island. But the arrival of the Spanish war steamer rancisco de | Borja at this port, with the greater part of the cargo ianded by the Fannie and “unearthed” by the column of Colonel Valera, has dispettod gea inclined to disbelieve the Spanish oficial reports, and trusted that the greater part of the expedi- tionists, together with a large amount of the arms and ammunition, had safely joined the insurgents in the mountains, It appears, morcover, that two days previous to the grounding of the vessel she had been seen from Baracoa, and that from her suspicious manwuvres it Was evident that her pilot was unacquain With that part of the coast of Cuba, dangerous to even the most light-draughted vessels, a perfect wilderness and far removed from any of the insurgent camps. The Fannie made towards the Sagua de Tanamo River, but grounded at Cebolla with tue resuits already known to your readers, Colonel Valera, who commanded the Spanish troops in that jurisdiction and who discovered the expeditionists and the cargo, arrived here on the 4th inst., and of conrse was made @ lion of, On the Sth he was the object of an ofticial visit of congratula- tion from the different army and voinnteer oiticers, who in a body called upon him to compliment him on his recent services, In the evening & serapade was tendered him.

Pending the arrival of the Home Secretary, who was oxpocted to preside, Mr, G, W. Hastings occupied the chair, and without himself taking up the time of the mecting, called upon the gentlemen engaged to report upon the discussions of the two previous days, to bring up their summaries, SPRECH OF MR. BRUCE. The Right Ion, H. A, Bruce, who entered the room while the first report was being discussed, } and who was cheered upon being introduced by Mr, Hastings, sald—I regret exceedingly that the absorbing nature of my duttes, always suMectently severe, and doubly 80 at this period of the seasion, hag prevented me from earlier paylug my respects to this Congress. But I am thankful for the opportunity you have now given to me of convey- ing to the foreign goutlemen who have been so good asto gather together in this country to give us the result of their experience, the thanks of the gov- ernment for, and my own high appreciation of, the spirit in which they have undertaken this task, Many of them have crogsed the Atlantic; others have come from the most distant countries of Europe; but all on an errand of humapity, and for the purpose of contributing, so far as it isin their power to do so, from the expericnce derived in their own lands, something that will tend to the diminution of those social evils with which all countrics, more or Jess, are ami d. Lhope their visit to this country will not be without profit to | themselves, but that they will bo able to learn something from the very wide experience of this country, and 1 am quite certain that on the other hand we shall derive much benefit from the experience they have had in other fields, The problems we have to solve are of tho greatest interest—they are also of the greatest difficulty, No 2 prtori arguments will avail on these questions. It is experience, and experience alone, that will de- cldo which of the systems is the best, It is & great satisfaction to me to be able to say it Is not from any increase of crime which has aroused our anxiety that we are here, and [hope the foreign delegates will be able to say the same of their coun- triva. It is a matter for congratulation that, in the face of 80 many apparently conclusive reasons to the contrary, there has been in this country of late years Buch an extraordinary diminution of serious crime. Consider for onc moment what the circum- stances are. A few years ago we gave up our sys- tem of transportation, which sent from our shores all the worst character, Although it is true all the ‘convicts were not transported for life, we were still able to congratulate ourselves on having got rid of a large portion of our criminal population, altnough it was at the expense of colonial contentment. Auyhow, the fact that we had got rid of them was always a matter of congratulation. Trans- portation has now entirely ccaaed, and it might reasouably be expected that the prisoners who were turned loose in the colonies would return to | their old associations in this country, and that an augmentation of our criminal population would bo the result, The facts, however, have been en- tirely diferent. Year after year we have seen not only 2 decrease of crime, relative to the population, but fuere has been an actual and positive decrease of all classes of crime, When the very able director of our_convict prisons addresses you he will be able to show you that each successive year shows a remarkable diminution of crime. From what does this arise ¥ Lam far from saying it arises trom the | repressive action of the State—from either of those measares which are taken for the detection and prevention of crime 13 punishment. Tam quite | persuaded that the main cause is a different one, ! and that the labors of all good men for many years have not been fruitless. I am satisfied that the efforts ov those who have established industrial schooia and reformatories have done | inuch to ent of the supply of crime, that the ener- | gles of those who have encouraged the promotion | of Dixcharged Prisoners’ Aid Societies have pre- | vented the return to crime of a vast number of criminals, and, in addition to that, we have had the apread of education and the didusion of knowledge | among the people, which not only led to juster | moral views, but has also enabled them to distrib- ute themselves over the world, and therefore escape that one great cause of temptation to erue--extrome poverty, All these cansea, no doubt, have had much to do with the diminution of | crime; but something 13 also due to an improved police and something to the system waich has been adopted in our prisons. We have on all sides the most satisfactory evidence both of the advantage of portion of our system and the re- formatory portion, We have, I am happy to add, | Of late years adopted the system of training all | those prisoners who have been sentenced to periods of tmprisonment, not only in what Ay term Intellectual knowledge, which is, of course, advantageous, but also in the learning of industrial trades; and, as no douse yon aré AY aware JTivut has woes Maught with the very beat resulta. ‘There are some, I Know, who would cary the reformatory system further, and some think the deterrent portion of our system is not suf- flelently severe. These are among the many ques- | Hons that you may in & gathering of this kind dis- * guss with great advantage, Tt is not my intention to express any decided opMilon one way or another. The government is only too glad to see the repre- Seutatives of ail countries assembled bere to con- sider these problems and how to solve them "4 j4 will be their duty to watch these Clee acona with the greatest Intelest and ¢:civor to obtain some usefulresults “from tem. It has been made a sub- ject of com ed that the government have not themeclves en an active part in the proceedings of this Congress. It Is not the custom in this country | to do so; but, on the other band, lL beg to give the strongest and clearest denial to the statement that I undersiand has been made, that the government of this country is Indiiferent to the labors of the Congress— (cheers)—or that we have nut been wiill- fog to supply yon with the fallest means of intorma- tion, The Opposite is the case. It is true, aiter deliberating on the subj the government con- | eelved that they were best fulilling their functions, | a8 understood by them, by abstaining from taking an tmmerdiate and act iin the operations of these meetings, On the other hand, it was their | ae sire to give every possible facility for the study of ne 8s means of oiliclal information.

Some of the German and French delegates were anxtons that the Congress should pass a resolution on each question as it cate up, but the Chairman explained that the committee had, after carefal discussion, concluded that, as the object of the Congress was to collect facts, it was not wise to submit motions, At the close of the proceedings, however, the executive will prepare for publication areport embodying the prevalent opinion of tie vonference upon the varions subjects, ‘The speeches on the motions for the adoption of the various reports were mostly re-echves of the previous debates, On the report upon corporal punishment a more animated debate took lace.

Paklogton, M, I P. Mr. Hibbert, M. P., and Sir J. Bowrlng were those present. M. BexoEN (Belgium) moved that a doputation of two delegates from each nation should wait upon Mr, Bruce, te Home Secretary, and thank him in the name of tive Congress fer attending on Satur. day, and also for the information he had given and the facilities he had offerod to foreigu delegates for ecling the fo7ernment prisons, Po.s (folland) seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously, TREATMENT OF INVIOTED PISONERS, TBRSON (Bavaria) then opened the quostion, “Ought prisoners on reconvietion to be subjected to a more discipiimary treatment than on their first sentence 7"? M, Stevens (Belginm), Connt Sollohub (Rnssta), Dr. Soule (Switzerland), the Count de Foresta a liowe (New York) and M. &. Kobin (france) took part in the discussion, The two laat speakers strongly advocated a mild aud Christian treatment of rejapsed prisoners, PRISON LABOR—-PENAL OR INDUSTRIAL. The next subject brought under consideration was the important one of prison labor, which was introduced by Mr. Frepertc Hinn in folowing form:—“Should prison labor be mereiy penal or should it be industrial?” Mr, Hill strongly ad- vocated the principle of prison industrial labor, maintaining that it would reduce the cost of penal discipline to society, provide a resource for the support of the prisoner his family and would not tend to lower the weges of persons occupied in the same kind of work out of prison. Major FuLrorD (Statford County Prison), stroug- ly advocated the mamtenance of birict penal discl- pline, He did not bvelteve that the habitual tmef or drunkard was ever reformed by moral agencies, He was of onpion that the prison should be made a terior to evil doers, General Pinissury (Albany), said that he had ex- rience of prison labor ti Connecticut and in among | Albany, and he had the highest opinions of its use- fulness. In Connecticut it putd $100,000 above the eapenses, and in Albany $200,000, In a moral point of view the result was equatly satisfactory. Dr, Wines said that Connt Sollehub superin- tended a large prison in Moscow contalaing some two or three thousand prisoners, and he adopted in it the principle of industrial prison labor. The resuit ‘Was most satis.actory, Mr. Hispert, M. P., was in favor of industrial labor wiere if could be carried ont. But he taought industrial labor and penal labor should be com- bin: (Hear, hear.) ‘fhe sentences were some- tim 0 short that it would be impossible to teacir industrial trades within the time. That was found to be the case in a large prison in Lancashire with which he was acquamted, and which paid all its expenses except the salaries of the oflicers. Tread- rie labor ought to be aasociajed with industrial abor. De. Mowatt, in translating the remarks of Mr. Hibbert, said he could find no equivalent in French for the word treadmill. Sir J. Bownine obset ved that it was strange there was no word tn the French lawguage to transinte the word treadmill, which might be better called the “work waster,” or an instrament for doing nothing or doing mischief. It was the creation of a thonghiless generation, and ought to exist no- where, (Cneers.) M. VAN AMSTEL (Holland) waa opposed to all penal systems and lavored the principle of remu- nerative pee labor, because it was advantageous to the prisoner and fo the State, Colonel CoLvILLE (Governor of Coldbath Fields Prison) said he had an experience of eighteen years, and haa 600 prisoners under him. He lad aaily experience of the treadmill system, and he had never known men to be made better by it. On the contrary the trendmill made men hate work all the more. ‘There were at least twelve different trades in Coldbath Fields Prison, and the profits Were several thousands a year. Besides, the Sram Worked unequally on dliferent constitu. ona, M. StRVENS (Belgium) refused to treat the ques- tion as one of pounds, shillings and pence. Tne question at issue was the moval improvement of the criminal. (Hear, hear.) Mowatt said his fifteen years’ experience of pores in India was entirely in tavor of industrial jabor in prisour, He never saw apy good result from the use of the treadmill. All systems of that kind produce mischiofand injustice and were con- trary to tle principles oi human nature, During the litteen years that he was connected with the prisons of India £500,009 had beon realized from the work of the prisoners. (Hear, chad & The CHAIRMAN, on the part of Dr. Frey, the ropre- sentative of Austria, stated that the industrial sy: tem was the rnie in the Austrian prisons, He also remarked that there were four other questions on the programme and that it was necessary to bring to a conclusion the present discussion. Some gen- tlemen thought that it ought to be adjourned on account of its importance, but the suggestion was not accepted, PRISUN MANAGERS AND THE ADMINISTRATION OF PRISONS, M. Loyson (France) then opened the discussion on the following subject :—'iow far should the vis- iting justices or poards prison manage:s control the administration of prisons’ He said that in France the boards of survelliance had power of in- spection and power of interfering with the executive discipline of the piison, VCHFR OREMIEUX described the action of of managers in Switzerland, which was iho same as in Franc INTERNATIONAL PRISON STATISTICS. The Congress then proceeded to the diseussion of the following question:—‘“Is it desirable to estab- lish inte national statistios, and if so, how may this be accomplished ?? which was opened by Signor RELIRANI SCALIA (Italy). The speaker wivocntes the expediency of collecting and communicating such statistics, and the speakers Who jollowed ex- pressed aiinilar views, Mr. Leoxn LEVI Lay elon that the subject should be referred to a small committee, Who would report to the Congress, and that the result should be com- municated to the Statistical International Society which was about to assembie in St, Petersburg, TREATMENT OF JUVENILE OFT’ S, The noxt subject for discussion was, “W treatment likely to be mo: mation of juvenile offen Miss UaRPENrEn, Who S227 fave read a paper that she had not brought the "with her, because sho did not think the sul ject could be properly discussed at the tate hour it was to be brought on. She would therefore post- creading of the paper to the meeting at of Arts on Thursday, and would merely on that occasion give a summary of it. Miss Car- penter then a d the result of the juvenile re- h which she was acquainted, a e Inidst of general applause. Mr. J. A. Foors (Ohio) said they had precisely the same description of family reformatory schools as had been described by Miss Carpenter, in America, and they had succecded admirably. M. VAUCHER CreMiEvx (Switzerland) advocated the principle of juvenile reformatories as striking atthe root of the evil. At Mettray, in Belgium, the principle worked admirably. Mr. A. D. HeNpRickson (Washington) said the yetem of juvenile discipline worke well in America, M. V. Bovenat (France) and Mr. MARSHAL (Mid- dlesex) continued the discussion, GOVERNMENT OF PRISONS BY CENIRAL AUTHORITY. Mr, HasTinos introdaced the only remaining sub- Ject on the programme, “Ought the government of prisons to be placed whoily in the hands of one central authority He did “not think they had in this country arrived at the point at whieh they Onght to establish one central authority. Perhaps it might be diferent in other countries, and he should like to hear the views of some of the foreign delegates, M. VAN AMSTED, eid that the administration of prisons in Hollund was wholly ander the control of the Minister of Justice, but that system had some inconveniences, TEVENS (Boiginm) said that uniformity of discipline under central authority was the principie in Belgium. Dr. GUILLACME (Switzerland) said that there was varicty of management in his country, but there was @ tendency, ho thought, towards one central authority. Mr. Baker (Gloucestershire) thought the prin- ciple of waiformity might be carried too far. She Congress then adjourned to the following day, nS. hat is the POLICE TRIALS, A number of delinquent policemen wore tried by Judge Bosworth yesterday morning, The first case called was that of James Donovan, of the mounted sqnad, who ig an ardent admirer of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, Judge Bosworth, however, awarded him two days’ pay for brushing the files of nis horse. Quinn and Hughes, of the Thirty-first precinct, got two days each for a téte-d-téte on a stivet corner, near Elm Park. Officer Gordon, or the Eighteenth precinct, took a snooze of eight hours’ duration on the loth inst., that yester cost him a couple of days’ pay. Minte, of the | teenth preciuct, told the Commissioner he travelled his post eclemnly, Judge Bosworth advised him not to travel so solemnly, but to do it a little more ia th police st, Omicer Barry, of the same ciict, Was caught by & roundsinan taking a drink of brandy in a basement, In answer to the charge he said he had been suffering with cramps. Judge Bosworth remarked that cramps was a common complaint with policemen, and he was afraid they were running ft into the ground, “4 took @ drink of good brandy and pepper,” said tc, “Was it pepper or peppermint ?” asked the Com- mlasioner. “Pepper, Your Honor.’ “Well, 1 su; you were il, FO We won't pepper you this time. expect you have bad syilicieut already to cure you. bitteuger (Pennsylvania), Mra, Ward | reporting to government, but no | ctive for the rer. 1 THE INTER-COLLEGIATE REGATTA, The Crews All in Training on the Connecticut. How They Look and What They Think of the Coming Contest—Their Names, Weight, Height and the Shells They Will Uso, Wes? SPRINGPIELD, Mass., July 16, 1372. The absorbing topic of conversation hereabouta isthe college crows, all of whoim have arrived, and are im assidnous tratniag. The Conneetient, in this liate vicinity, scems to be a favorite resort men, and the people, from thetr past expe- rience, are able to criticize the merits of the re spective crews with a deal of s-l-assurance. The Bowdoin ecvew arrived last Saturday and took up their quarters about two miles above the course, A very flattering reputation preceded these gentles men, and most of the others are impressed with a heatthy fear of thelr reputed supertority. ‘They are yery good specimens of Yankee build and shrewdness, Thoy will impart but very tittle information of themselves, saying that the papers have over-stated their merits, and that more is expected of them than they can do, Mr. G, Price Was with them os trainer yesterday, and they are suid tohave anofher mentor besides, They have thus far kept quite aloof from the other crews, a8 if they'did not care to be seen. They are not, how- ever, a3 has been claimed, the largest crew on the river. They pulled about forty-two to forty-five strokes tothe minute last night ia practice. The crew as at present made up stand in the following order:—D, A. Robinson, stroke, °73, twenty-two years old, 6 feet 11 inches in height, 149 Ibs. D.

Tho other crews on this side of the river wore willing to give full measurements, though muscle, as they thought, was no criterion by which the probable result of the coming race could be judged, The men from Amherst are quartered near each’ other at about the middle of the course. Their general appearance is not unlike those formerly sent out from the same college. The bow oar in the Amherst University crew pulled in the Fresh- man crew two years ago; the others are new to the business, The latter are made up as follows:— Walter Negley, stroke, '72, twenty-two years, 6 feet 10 inches, 145 Ibs.; arm measurements, 12% and 1334 inches; full chest, 893; Inches.
