CUBA. Details of the Interview with Cap- tain General Ceballos. “THE HERALD AS SEEN BY SPANISH EYES, An Exciting Discussion on What Should Be O’Kelly’s Fate. «AN EXAMPLE IS NECESSARY.” “Let the Island Itself Sink, but I'll Have Him Shot.” ‘EFFECT OF A FRANK STATEMENT. ‘The Captain General Charges Hender- son with Betraying Confidence.

Havana, March 5, 1873, A telegram will have informed you in out- Mine of my interview yesterday with Captain General Ceballos. I will now give a detailed statement of what transpired during this visit. Agreeably to instructions I proceeded to “visit the palace with the purpose of learning -from the Captain General all he knew about Mr. O’Kelly’s movements, and whether he “would allow Mr. O'Kelly to be shot on his return tothe Spanish lines. On arriving at -the official residence it was my good fortune, a8 on former occasions with General Caballero -de Rodas and Count Valmaseda, to be IMMEDIATELY ADMITTED TO THE PRESENCE of Captain General Ceballos, a tall, erect, soldierly gentleman. His Excellency received your correspondent with soldier-like frank- ness. Iat once proceeded to business, by saying: — “I beg Your Excellency will excuse my in- opportune visit, Ihave been ordered by the journal I represent, the New Yonx Hxnarp, to inquire respectfully of Your Excellency as to ‘what Your Excellency and the authorities ‘here may know about Mr. O’Kelly’s move- aments, and what would be the fate of Mr. O'Kelly if he should return within the Span- sh lines from the insurrection’’ His Excellency seemed for the moment xather ‘TAKEN ABACK, BUT REPLIED EVASIVELY. “J understand, sir, that Mr. O'Kelly is hid- en away somewhere in the city of Santiago de Cuba.” I then assured General Ceballos that I had ‘ery positive and reliable information of Mr. -O’Kelly’s arrival at tho insurgent camps on ‘the 22d. ultimo, and even I knew the hour of his reaching there—four o'clock in the morn- ‘ing. His Excellency did not appear in the very ‘beat of humor from the moment I stated the object of my interview, and my assurance re- garding O’Kelly’s reaching rebeldom seemed to cap the climax. HE BROKE OUT VERY EMPHATICALLY 4*What is the Hznaxp, and who are its cor- respondents or commissioners to mock at my authority or the laws of the Island of Cuba? Mr. O'Kelly was told he would be shot as a spy if he went into the camp of the insurrec- tionists, and was taken by the Spanish troops, or returned within Spanish lines. He has vtaken the risk. If he returns within my lines I will have him tried by drum-head court mar- +tial (consejo verbal) and shot.’* THE GENERAL HIGHLY INCENSED, ‘and spoke very loud and angry, and working himself up, added: — “The Heratp has systematically insulted Spain, the authorities of Cuba and everything Spanish. The dignity of Spain requires an ‘example to be made to show the world that she is not to be intimidated. I said O'Kelly ‘would be shot if he broke the laws, and let the xesults be what they may, LET THE ISLAND ITSELF SINE, put Ill have him shot and take the con- sequences." Notwithstanding the very energetic language ‘and gestures of His Excellency and his WAVING ME OFF WITH HIS HANDS, an indication that the interview was ended, I ventured to protest that such a proceeding ‘would be rash; that most undoubtedly O'Kelly understood the authorities that he could go whither he wished if he could attain his object without their direct assistance and sid, os was the caso with Mr. Henderson. I insisted that the HzraLp was NOT SYSTEMATICALLY OPPOSED TO SPAIN OR CUBA ; that if it attacked or criticised its institutions or authorities it also attacked the authorities ~of tho United States even more severely when NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 12, i873—TRIPLE SHEET. it found cause of misgovernment. I again assured His Excellency that O'Kelly was un- biassed ; that he would see for himself, and his statements would be the truth and free from any prejudice, despite the obstacles thrown in his way which made his mission so much more difficultand hazardous. I referred him to O’Kelly’s letter’ published in the Hepaxp of the 15th ultimo, by which BE MIGHT JUDGE OF MR. O'KELLY’S DMPAR- TIALITY, at the same time impressing upon His Excel- lency the impossibility of independent corre- spondents shutting their eyes upon what they judged to be incompatible with the progress of the age and good government. THE CAPTAIN GENERAL HEARD ME THROUGH, and then, fixing his eyes with a piercing gaze upon me, he inquired: — “Will you guarantee that Mr. O'Kelly will state the truth of affairs and things in the insurrection? Will it not be ao repetition of Mr. Henderson's fabrication of falsehoods? You know, as well as I do, that Henderson BETRAYED THE CONFIDENCE WE PLACED IN HIM and illy repaid the generous manner in which he was treated. And, in the manner you wot of, instead of stating the truth—the only thing we desired—the truth and nothing but the truth, he invented an interview with Ces- pedes, whom, I believe, he never saw; he increased the number of insurgents to a large army ; he insulted Spanish officials and officers, both soldiers and volunteers, and, in short, everything Spanish. Do you expect me to allow 4 REPETITION OF SUCH conDUCT?”’ I again assured His Excellency that Mr. O'Kelly’s object was, in a measure, to repair the errors into which Mr. Henderson might have relapsed, and that the statements he would make would be impartial and the truth. “BUT WILL YOU GUARANTEE THIS?’’ again demanded His Excellency. I replied, ‘‘Morally, I will.”” “Very well, then,’’ said the General, ‘the | least that will be done to Mr. O'Kelly if he returns within the Spanish lines will be to have him EXPELLED FROM THE ISLAND, and I will at once give orders to that effect. apios.”” So saying His Excellency, instead of waving off your correspondent with his hand as a sign that the interview was over, extended the same, which your correspondent gratefully shook, and bowed himself out. THE HERALD AND ITS MARTYRS. (Frem El Cronista, the Spanish organ in New York.) ‘Whatever may be the fate which awaits O’Kelly, it cannot be denied that the HERALD has used its utmost efforts tohave him shot by the Spanish authorities, so that he can have the honor of being @ HERALD martyr. Oh, what sacrifices are required by this peripatetic, forest-hidden Republic ef Cuba, which appears to us is as diMmcult for O'Kelly to find as ever was the nidden philosopher's stone for the ancients! “EL VALIENTE O°RELLY.% [From La Independencia, the official Cuban organ, New York.) The perusal of the communication from the HeRatp Bureau at Havana, im the issue of that paper on the 28th of February, to the effect that Mr, James O'Kelly has entered the rebel lines from Santiago de Cuba, which place he left on the 19th of February, and had reached an insurrectionary camp, has caused us to feel high admiration for his daring enterprise and devotion to the interests of the great paper he represents. We frankly confess that we do not know which quality to admire most in Mr, O’Kelly—whether it be his boldness and ab- sence of all fear, or his great intelligence and per- ceptive powers. With these qualifications he has succeeded in triumphing over all the dangers which have encompassed him in the shape of Spanish intimidation and the thousand and one obstacles which have been placed in his path. He bas shown himself superior to all these infelicitious circumstances, and has shown himself capable of acquitting himself nobly of bis dangerous and delicate mission. By the exercise of his indomitable will and bold deter- mination he has hewed himself a path through the ranks of Spanish bayonets, on the principle that he is a free man and is under the wgis of the flag of his nation, which always protects its sub- jects, in whatever dangers or embarrassments they may be. Mr. James O'Kelly is an English subject. If he were an American we should tremble for his life, for the Spaniards in the island of Cuba neither fear nor respect the government or the starry banner of the United States, thanks to the contemptible policy of Mr. Hamilton Fish, We much regret our limited space will not per- mit us to translate textually the long and interest- Mr. O'Kelly, dated Santiago de Cuba, but before translating the most highly interesting passages we must state that in all his intercourse with the Spanish oficials Mr. O'Kelly has shown himself to be endowed with rare diplomatic powers, and a power of surmount- Ing obstacles seldom evinced.

President Grant Not Absolutely Committed to Judge Richardson’s Appointment, NO CHANGE IN FINANCIAL POLICY. Carpenter in Defence of Caldwell and in Ridicule of Morton. APPOINTMENTS AND CONFIRMATIONS. Reappointment of the Present Government Directors of the U. P. B. Wasiinoton, March 11, 1873, Interview With Secretary Boutwell—No Change in the Financial Policy of the Government To Be Made—The Presi- dent Net Absolutely Committed to the Appointment of Judge Richardson. As the despatches received here from Massa- chusetts increase the chances of Secretary Bout- well to the Senate to almost a certainty the in- terest manifested in the election becemes more and more intense in this city on account of the Cabinet change which it involves. The numerous friends of Boutwell are exultant, while the friends of Dawes are sad and discouraged. Many are the anxious inguirfes made at the HzRaLD bureau as to the fate of the Senatorial election in Massachu- setts, while the more prominent officials of the Treasury will probably spend a sleepless night in their anxiety to know who is going to be the chief of that department after to-morrow. In order to see how the hero of this excitement takes the prospects of his triumph, your correspendent called on Secretary Boutwell this evening and found him in avery cheerful mood, though far from exultant over his favorable prospects. On the contrary, he seemed to bear his good fortune very meekly, and in his modest way deprecated the idea that he felt at all certain of his election. Your correspondent began:—“Well, Mr. Secre- tary—Senator, | should say—I cengratulate you on the vote of the Massachusetts Legislature.” Secretary BourwELL—I thank you very much, but I think you are somewhat hasty about it, The result up to the time of the adjournment of the Legislature this evening is certainly in my favor, but there have been cases where candidates were defeated, even after such a favorable vote. CORRESPONDENT—In New York the deepest in- terest is centred in this election, Wall street is quite excited about it. There appears to be an idea that currency would become more plentiful in case of your retirement from the Treasury? Secretary BourweLi—I suppose the excite- ment, if there is any, is not so much on.ac- count of the Senatorial election as to the change in the Treasury Department that would be consequent upon it. I do not think, however, that my retirement would Make any great dilference. The President is satisfied with the manner in which the business of the department has been conducted, and he would not be in favor of a material change in the financtal policy of the administration. The strin- gency of the money market is to a great extent artificial. Money is quite plentitul in the interior, and the business prospects for the Spring are very favorable. CORRESPONDENT—It is considered a matter of certainty that in case of your election Judge Richardson would be your successor. Secretary BouTwELL—I am not aware that the President has absolutely committed himself to the appointment of Judge Richardson. Of course it ts not for me to say what may be the intentions of the President. CORRESPONDENT—I suppose you would cease to be Secretary of the Treasury immediately on the announcement of your election? Secretary BourweLt—I shall not cease to be Secretary of the Treasury until sworn in as a Senator. CORRFSPONDENT—You would, in that case, be sworn in during the present special session of the Senate? Secretary BoUTWELL—I believe so, CORRESPONDENT—Has not the Crédit Mobilier business hurt Dawes’ chances for the Senatorship ? Secretary BouTWELL—I have no means of judg- ing as to that, as I have not visited Massachusetts for some time. After some more remarks that are not of public interest your correspondent took his leave. A National Park on Mackinaw Island— What a New Senator Thinks of It— Carpenter, in Defence of Caldwell, Digs Morton in the Ribs. The Senate was not quite so sleepy in appear- ance to-day. At times it was amusing. Sundry Senators shook off the lethargy occasioned by their stupendous thoughts, and, buoyed up by the mild, Spring-like day, bandied some small wit, which, from its rare occurrence in this abode of dire pro- fundity, startled several of the solemn body to ghastly grinning, with here an@ there a dry chuckle. This seemed sucha departure trom the usual dignity of the place that the perpetrator of the hilarious demonstration was always discovered by the supernatural gloom with which ne immedi- ately enveloped his countenance to avotd observa- tion. The first occasion for amusement was fur- nished, by Senator Ferry, of Michigan, who Tread @ sophomorical essay on the question ef improving his fine lands in the vicinity of Mackinaw, by turning the military reservation there into a national park, with the Secretary of War as agatekeeper. One of the new Senators, who carries his head in a very waggish manner, Tose to second this pretty scheme, He was in favor of @ system of national parks, which, he thought, were the most charming sink-holes possible for the people’s money. He then, in a grim way, advo- cated the filling up of all the swamps of the coun- try and the conversion of them into national parks also, He sald we could not have too many of these interesting abodes of nature improved by art. He amused every one but Ferry, who could not see any wit in the remarks of she waggish Senator. After Caldwell’s elaborate speech had been read by the Clerk, later in the afternoon, Senator Car- penter began a witty defence of the weak-eyed, red-whiskered child of corruption from Kansas. In alluding to Senator Morton's onslaught on Caldwell Carpenter became exceedingly satirical. He admired the purity of Morton which stood aghast at Caldwell’s corruption. He said Morton reminded him of an old deacon he once met when | he was prosecuting attorney in Wisconsin, That good old man was accustomed only to the Ar- cadian atmosphere of a rural hamlet, where had never had an opportunity of becoming at all familiar with the technicalities of worldly sin. He ‘was summoned on a Grand Jury, and although there were no revolting cases brought before it, the knowledge dawning upon the deacon that | there were really so many bad men inthe world affected the good okl man’s mind, and he became sick, restiess and sleeploss at nights. The Judge was finally obliged to excuse him on that account alone, Now, Morten, quoth the Machiavellian Carpenter, had been reared in the political atmosphere of In- diana, where money was never needed to accom- plish the success of a republican candidate. He could understand very well hew tie guileless Mor- ton, fresh from the pure alr of Indiana, must be affected like the good old deacon, and become | Phe Gorge Gradu quite ill at the thought of money being used in an election. Now they did employ money political campaigns in Wisconsin, added Caryenter, 80 did they in tueix in | campaigns. He was not aware that they did in the Garden of Eden; but times had sadly changed since then, He claimed that the whole mass of evidence against Caldwell was not of a nature that would be admitted in a court of justice. He closed with @ very high-sounding peroration about legal rights, justice, the constitution, and all that sort of thing, which was quite as droll in its way as his satirical description of Morton, Defeated Jobs of the Credit Mo’ Congress—Attempted Robbery of 500,000. In order to give am idea of the magnitude of the plunder involved in the schemes of the lobby, which have been defeated im the late Congress, Senator Chandier has employed some of his leisure moments to make out the following list of at tempted steals :— Soldiers’ Bounty bill. Agricultural Lands bil 90,000,000 Cotton tax refunding. . 72,000,000 Compound interest to States 82,000, Australian subsidy 5,000, 13,000,000 Oriental subsid, Shipyard BUDSIG) Other subsidie: The two per ce! Total........ $624,500,000 The Soldiers’ Bounty and the Agricultural Lands bill were passed by the House, but squelched by the Senate. The War Senator from Michigan has helped to defeat them, besides having been mainly instrumental in routing the Australian subsidy lobby. The Treasury nas had a narrow escape of several of these plundering schemes, ‘Taking into account the stupendous jobs that have been carried through with the aid of an unscrupu- lous lobby, plain folk may well stand aghast at the costhness of the luxury called Congressional legislation, Hippozymost: The President is suffering trom @ severe cold contracted en Inauguration Day. He received no visitors to-day, excepting the Cabinet officers, An Early Adjournment of the Senate Certain. It 18 very evident that the President does not intend to send many nominations of any impor- tance to the Senate for confirmation, and that he 18 ready to wish them bon voyage to their respective homes.

SEIZURE OF IRON HORSES. Colleetor Bailey Will Allow the Embar- goed Locomotives to Run—A Probable Compromise with the Hudson River Central Railroad. ALpany, March 11, 1873.

Do the Savages Mean Treach< ery After All? Steele the Only Man Confident of an Unconditional Surrender. SAN Francisco, Marct ff, 11s. A despatch from Yreka thi# evening mys’ that Frank Merritt arrived last evening from 'e child’s, and representa that Captain Jack wo be im last Friday to treat with General Canby; but, instead of his coming, “Boston Cnar- ley” and “Limpy"” came in with the report that Captain Jack’s principal men were hunting deer, and as soon as they came in he would meet them, He appointed Monday aitermeon at’ two o'clock for the meeting, at the Point of Recks, near Tule Lake, where he would fave his sq@taws and children, He wanted only the General, My. Apple- gate and the Commissioners to come, without any soldiers, and to bring three wagens. The General will send up three’wagons anda few men, as agreed upon, but will take care to’have seldiers within hailing distance. All the white men—even Steele and Riddle—are suspicious of treachery, and believe the Indians will not surrén- der. When “Boston Charley” was at Fairchild’s he boasted that he was good for twenty soldiers ; that the Modocs could divide up into small parties of two or three and commit raids on the settlers, and the soldiers could noe catch them. Clarley stole acan of powder while at Fairchild’s, and on his way back to the lav beds found a lot of cartridges for needle guns, which had been dropped by the soldiers, near the military camps. Tne Indians undoubtedly have plenty of arms and ammunition. Unless they surrender on Monday we suspect very: muca that they are treachorously playing some peénts to gain an advantage. The stock raisers in the Modoc section complain of losing a large number of their cattle and sheep. Tho Indians kill what they need, and so do the“ Oregon teamsters, who work by the day and board themselves, Besides these, some of the soldiers also kill cattle and sheep. Lieutenant Boutel and two non-commissioned officers en route for Reddington, bringing some recruits for the First cavairy, arrived this even- ing, from whom we learn that E. Steele startea from Dorris’ ranch yesterday morning, taking only four wagons and teams, only one teamster accompanying him. Steele had been out to see~ some of the Indians beforehand, and felt confident they would come to the Point of Rooks, there to be taken in wagons to a place across the ereek. Opposite Dorris’ house tents had been put-up and ' made comfortable, with an abundance of hay, fire- wood and food. Various articles have also been provided for the convenience of the Modocs. There , was still considerable doubt felt by some about Jack coming out. THE KENTUCKY BANK ROBBERY. LouisviLig, Ky., March 11, 1873. Other speeial deposits of the Falls City Tebacca Bank, which was robbed on Sunday night, were to-day found to be missing, among them ten bonds of the Louisville, Cincinnati and Lexington Short Line Railroad, numbered from 193 to 202, inclusive, of $1,000 each; also bonds numbered from 135 to 140, — inclusive, and two bonds, numbered 149 and 150, of the Jeffer- sonville, Madison and Indianapolis Railroad first mor’ 8, Of $1,000 each; also Nos. 1,627 to 1,533 of the Jeffersonville, Madison and Indianopolis second mortgage bonds of $1,000 each. All the missing bonds amount, probably, to the value of over $100,000, It seems the burglars selected all the securities easily disposed of in the East, leaving the local securities scattered over the floor of the vault. The work was evidently done by professional bur- giars, most skilful and scientific in the business, Further examination of the vault to-day reveals the fact that previous ef- forts had been made to rob the bank in the same way. An iron wedge was found driven in the cor- ner of the inner cash safe, also a small hole cut through the top. The wedge was rusty and the hole filled up with putty. It ts supposed the at- tempt was made some months since and relin- quished for lack of tools; but the same parties, it seems, returned Welk prepared and accomplished the work.
