NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, MAY 2, 1874—TRIPLE SHEET. 9 CAPTAIN GENERAL CONCHA Antecedents of the Old War 5 Horse in Cuba. THE CRITTENDEN-LOP MASSACRE. ,, Reminiscences of Queen Isabella ‘Bal and Serrano. General José de 1a Concha,.Marquis of Havana, first became Captain General im Ouba in 1850, His object in accepting office in America was such Qs usually influences the politicians of Spain in so -doing—namely, the acquirement of fortune—and It ‘48 stated that in the space of two years he ob- * jtained $500,000 in gold by receiving @ royalty of $102 on every slave brought from Alrica to the island. ‘ In the year 1851, from July to September, the Yebellions of Joaquin Agttero in Puerto Principe, and of Isidoro Armenteros in Trinidad, took place. ‘These were followed by the unfortunate expedition | of Narciso Lopez, The small number of partisans || who had gone out with Agtero and Armenteros “, dwere closely pursued by i @ force: dispersed, \and their principal chiefs #hot oF seit t¢ the Rem! ‘tentiary of Ceuta; so that, without stirring front ‘the Captain General’s palace in Havana, Concha i was able to reap a rich harvest of laurels, © General Narciso Lopez landed near Las Pozas on ‘the \J4th of. August, 1852, with 250 méi. # was sabamdoned by fifty-three of them, under Colonc} ‘Crittenda@x, on the same day. This detachment h£Fe) ,Was capturi f Without resistance, a few miles from ‘the coast, by the Merchant steamer Habanero, on board of which the Spanish Admiral happened to ‘be a passenger. ‘The prisoners were conveyed to Havana, taken to the Uastle of Atares, and every ‘one of them shot on its glacis, The rest of Lopez’s | ‘#mall force sustained three bloody combats within ‘e few days, and caused a good deal of loss to the Spaniards. A heavy rain storm, that lasted eight days, wet the small portion of ammunition which Lopez still possessed; nis men became demoral- ized, disbanded, and presently they fell into the hands of the Spanish troops. Lopez and nine ‘men who still adhered to him were surprised on a Toad, captured, taken to Havana ‘and executed on ‘the 1st of September, 1852, thus by their death putting an end to the memorable events which the Patriot leader had brought about, and affording a -fine opportunity for Concha to figure as the hero -Of @ great victory, WHICH HE HAD EARNED 80 CHEAPLY. -In a few months afterwards he was relieved from ; the command of she island and returned to Spain | -when he least wished to do so, Three years afterwards Concha was again sent to Cuba as Captain General, from which he prom- ised to send the government ‘something more than the three millions” (clear gains) “that Spain | -¥eceived annually from the island.” This second term of bis administration, which commenced about the end of September, 1854, was marked by the executions of Pinto and Estrampes, and the persecution of a large number of people, among whom were many belonging to the most | elevated social position tn the country. It was also distinguished by many onerous exactions from the Cubans, and by all kinds of abuses committed upon the revenues of the country, by the retinue Of satellites who followed in the train of the Cap- tain General. He established the most !eariul gys- tem of espionage; the utmost contusion reigned | 4nall branches of the public administration, while | | he allowed himself to fall into the most scandalous | and depraved practices, a In 1859, Concha was again relieved, and returned to Spain, leaving in Havana many families ruined | by his demoralization and wild financial enter- prises, while at the same time he had amassed a Magnificent fortune for himself. This ke dissi- Pated in Madrid, endeavoring to make friends | mong politicians of all stripes, In that critical time which preceded the fall of Isabella, when no honorable man among the poll- ticluns of Spain would consent to participate in the scandals of her Court, Concha offered his services tothe Queen, and they were accepted. He re- mained but @ short time as President of the Coun- cil of Ministers, A couple of days after Queen Isa- bella had gone jorth proscribed from Spanish ter- ritory the Marquis of Havana found himself alone at the head of the ,ship of state, withous compass oor chart to direct him. In,this situation Concha sent to Ser- rano, the conqueror of Alcolea, the famous tele- ram which said:—‘Let General Serrano come ere.” And to it received the reply, “I have no desire to gu.’ After the triumph of the revolution of September Concha was obliged to leave Spain, in order, it was said, to avoid the anger of his comntryaien, The death-blow which General Pavia gave, on the ‘24 of last January, to the expiring Spauvish Repub- ic, opened the road for the return of many politi- clans who had left the country for its Among others was Concha, who returned with the hope of being once more named Captain General of Cuba. The aid of the Casino Espafiol and Don ,, Manuel Calvo enabled him to accomplish his ends. ‘The time, too, was favorable. In February last General Jovellar asked {or 20,000 men to retilorce his shattered army of operations, so that he might (for the hundredth time) finish the insurrection, and in case the forces asked jor were not forth- coming, his resignation was placed at the disposal of the government. SPAIN COULD NOT SEND ANOTHER SOLDIER, and the Marquis of Havana, who knew this, profited by the upportunity to offer his services as Captain General of Cuba, at a juncture when & well known, able soldier handed in his resignation, in order not | to be obliged to deceive his government, and they were accepted. Among the official acts of Concha’s life there is none, perbaps, better remembered tn America than the issuing of his celebrated circular o! the 29tn of October, 1852, which was directed to the governors | and a eh throughout the island of Cuba.. Machiavelli himself might have been proud Of such an instrument. It presents such an in- fernal contrivance of super-refined tyranny as will well repay ita perusal. 1t is as follows:— iy [Secret circular] Captain GENERAL or tux Evsr Tparemrot Istaxp oF UB Y This government being well aware that the traitorous enemies ot Her Majesty, encouraged by the magnani- mous indulgence with which until now the Queen has treated them and SECRETLY PROTECTED BY THE NEW ADMINISTRATION OF THE UNITED STATES are projecting an invasion of this island in consitleranle numbers, and convinced, at the same time, of the neces- sity of putting down with a strong hand the revolution- ary tendencies of the natives of the country, I order, jer the sanction of the supreme government, that in addition (o the decrees communicated to you on the 3d | of May and the 15th and 30th of July of this year, that | + you will execute without delay or consideration of any q Kina’ the following precautionary measure: #irdt—st the first news of the disembarkation of pirates you will reiterate the order ot the 13th of May ‘about confining to barracks the forces atthe disposal of the government in that place, placing and arranging the inactive c! 3s militia and enrolled, sailors, and will un ‘tached companies of all the young men and Spanish Sep aeepe in which the natives who are known to be roll alsponed towards the just cause of Her Majesty may mi Second—simultaneously, without loss of time. and using armed force if it be necessary, you will have con- yeyed to the Government House the principal creoles formerly designated in the list sent by you to this Supe. rior Government as influential persons on account of ir Kuowledge, riches and revolutionary spirit.

THE TROTTING SEASON. ring for ti ‘Spring Campaign— i © May Programmgs of Fleetwood, Prospect and Deerfoo' Parks—The Horses and Trainers Already at These Tracks. Althon,th the chilly days and the rains naturally to be expev'ted im our latitude at this season have kept the trac. unsettled for a period beyond the usual time the horsemen are arranging their plans for the opening of {he trotting seascn. Last year at this date several matches and sweepstakes had been decided and the sport fully inaugurated, but then the roads did not remain inches deep in mud until the Ist of May. However, the trotting clans will soon gather in force about Fleetwooa, Pros- pect and Deerfoot parks, where, on the bright mornings to come, there will be much sport watch- ing the flyers taking their work of preparation for the early campaign. At Fleetwood already well known trainers have their strings at tne sta- bles, and are only waiting for the coming of settled weather to take up the line of duty and set the surface of the track humming with the music of trotting hoofs. Among those there, or who £oon will be, are Ben. Mace, and, when sufficiently recovered for active work, his brother, the veteran Dao, with a large number to putin fix, for the iamily talent can command some of the best in the country; Johnny Murphy, with a goodly string that promises to pull down Many purses beiore the snow will again fy; Jonn Lovett, Aleck Patterson, Peter Manee and others, with noted and excellent’ performers, all of whom Will do @ vast amount of work before fully ready for the inauguration meeting. Over on Long Island they are not behind, for already in the boxes at the Prospect Park Fair Grounds are such as American Girl, Barney Kelly, Huntress, Hannah, Port Washington, Farmer Boy, ’ Harry Gilbert, Charley, Lady Arthur, Pilot, Con- stance, Ristori, Lotta, Volunteer Girl, Annie G., Rescue, Viola, George, Annie Oollins, Black Dick and- @ number of green ones to be fixed for the three minute purses in this vicinity. This stock is in charge of the astute horsemen Messrs. Simeon Hoagland, Hiram Howe, Jack Phillips, William ‘Thoms, Daniel Delay, Joun Splan, Michael Rodgers, israel Denton, Tuomas O’Vonnor and others. Mr. Goidsmith will soon swell the nu r with three or four new ones. of the Volunteer blood, reported to be just good enough to suit their owner. Then Dan Piller will train tis horses at this track, which, by the way, of the best im the country. Beside this the roa leading thereto are unsurpassed, which readers @ drive in the direction of Prospect of the most de- lighttul character. At Deerfoot Park, fast becoming a popular re- sort, there are stabled several trotters of excel- lent reputation, and the management, as at Fieetwood and Prospect, is devoting his attention to the necessary preparations tor the spring meer ing. Mr. Mcahon, the proprietor, has erected a new club house on the Boulevard side of the track, which will give him a second grand entrance and accommodate his patrons, from whatever direc- tion they may reach the place. The programmes of the three tracks above re- ferred to have been published, and embrace. a variety of liberal purses judiciously arranged, which will open the season 10 good style here- abouts. First on the list comes Fieetwood Park, whose officers set forth a pleasant dish of jour days’ sport, commencing on ‘luesday, May 26, and continuing three da: thereaiter, hanging up large amounts for horses that have never beaten 2:50, 2:34, 2:45, 2:25, 2:39, 2:20, 3:00, and free for all; the provisions of the latter making it incum- bent upon American Girl and Judge Fullerton to enter for it to fill, The entries ior these purses will close on Tuesday, May 12, at nine o'clock P.M.

Opening the sport is the three minute purse, when in the order named come the 2:31, 2:38, 2:26, 2:45 and 2:20 events, which must call out large fieids, as the amounts to be won are very satisfactory.

Leigh enters Normanaul, TROTTING IN CALIFORNIA. ‘The spring meeting over the course of the Santa Clara Valley Agricultural Society commenced to- day, under the management of A. L. Beatty. There was only one race, but the attendance was quite large and the sport very exciting from the fret. O, A, Hickok named pb. m. Ella Lewis, Tom McClelian named b, n. California Dexter and G, Leigh named b. n. Vaughn. They were driven by the same parties. Lady Mac did not start. The purse was $400 and the race mile heats, three in five, Betting was rather light, Ella Lewis being the favorite at $20; Dexter, $8, and Vaughn, $2, ‘The first heat was won by Ella Lewis, after a close contest with Dexter, by length; Vaughn was a bad third.

McUlellan seemed to be Griving to distance the mare, but she did some lively trotting im the homestretch, and barely saved her distance, being @ length or two behind Vaugnn as Dexter crossed the score in 2:30, The third heat was the great event of the day, and created intense excitement for several mib- utes. On going around the first turn, before Teacbing the quarter pole, and when Ella Lewis was haifa length in advance of Dexter, a collision occurred between these two horses, both McClellan and Hickok being thrown to the ground; Leigh, being but a short distance bebind and under ful headway, ran over or into Dexter’s sulky, and for an instant all three were lying onthe ground. Dex- ter was the first to start of without a driver, fol- lowed by Lewis, their drivers returning to the point of starting; Leigh, however, succeeded in mounting his sulkyand trott.ng his horse round the track to the outcome. In the meantime great excitement hud been Jelt about the two ruuayers. ..

Ferguson; the Secretary of the Mary- land Jockey Club, writes that the Pimlico tragk ‘bas oeen much improved by ditching and raising since the last meeting and the stables of Messrs, James Donahue, W. W. Gienn, Jordan & Wilson, Alexander D. Brown, E, A. Clabaugh and J. H. Tully are already on the spot. All the horses that have wintered there are looking and doing well, particularly Lizzie Lucas, Artist, Business, George West, Dublin, Culpepper, Merodac and Mart Jordan. Governor Bowie's stable, some ten strong, arrived the st inst. Major T. G. Bacon, of South Carolina; Thomas W. Doswell, and T. B. and W. R. Davis, of Virginia, wil follow. The overflow of the track at Nashville will probably induce many stables to hasten their departure for the Pimlico course. McGratn, Reynolds and others are ex- pected soon aiter the Lexington spring meeting, and Crouse and Biandy & Son, trom Ohio, besides the usual additions from the neighborhood of Jerome Park and Long Branch. The Maryland Jockey Club, having purchased a track of land adjoining the race course, arrangements are belong made for the immediate erection of a com- modious club house. Altogether the prospects are flattering tor a brilliant spring meeting. A letter, under date of 28th of April, from Mr. McGrath, of Kentucky, to a iriend in this city, says that Tom Bowling and all the young stock in the stable are doing well, and that he expects to appear at Jerome Park in strong force. In addition to the stables which have been in training at Monmouth Park for some time—viz., M. A. Littell’s, D. J. Bannatyne’s and John F. Chamberlin’s—there arrived yesterday, in charge of Albert Thomas, R. W. Cameron’s two-year-old colt by Warminster, and two three-year-old fillies by Warminster ; also James Thompson’s three-year- old filly by Australian, and a three-year-old filly by Planet. Notwithstanding there have been very severe storms of late the track id now in good con- dition. There isa great anxiety among horsemen and breeders throughout the country vo learn what horses will be in the great champion stallion race at Boston, the entries for which close at the Revere House, Boston, next Tuesday evening, the 5th inst. There is much speculation in regard to the number of entries there will be. It should at least fill well. THE MURDES OF HENRY MAUR Post-Mortem Examination. In the case of Henry Maur, the German, late of No. 86 Greenwich street, who was alleged to have | been brutally Kicked to death by Ernest Moller, Dr. | Shine yesterday made a post-mortem examination on the body at the Morgue, and found that a por- tion of the left kidney had been severed, thus caus- ing extensive hemorrhage and subsequent death. ‘The rupture of the kidney was caused by violence. “RADIOAL REFORM” ANSWERED, New York, May 1, 1874, Anarticle under above head appeared in your paper of yesterday, signed M. Butt Hewson. He complains of rent and things generally, Does Mr. Hewson not know that it costs three times as much to build a. house in this city to- day as a similar buliding of same size and finish cost in 1860? Is he not aware that it costs to-day over threé times as much to paint and repair buildings as it did in 1860? Is he not aware that taxes and assessments have increased? Now, in 1860 I knew ofa building that paid a tax of $120, and a few years prior to that the tax was $70. Now it is over $800. Repairs, tor- merly trifling, are now @ heavy tax. Mr. Hewson proposes making a law to prevent owners of houses realizing over @ fair interest on buildings. A iriend of mine owns & building which he put in order last May ata cost o! $1,400. He rented it at $1,800, but the rent which he has collected is less than $500. He may get $160 more, or $6650 for the year, after paying $1,400, besides taxes, an as- sessment, fire insurance ‘and depreciation of build- ing. Does Mr, Hewson propose paying such men their losses ? If building and renting houses paid, why is there 80 little of isdone ? There is money seeking em- pie ment, lying idle, in tact. Why are houses not uilt? Because labor is so high and the me- chanics such poor workmen that it will not pay to build. 1 own a sew lots, but can employ my money out of this State to better advantage than building on these lois. Any amount of money can be safely loaned out at the West at ten per cent per annum. mr. Hewson threatens force il things are not righted. That is, I suppose, to burn and sack the city. My view is, if 1,000 buildings should ve destroyed, rent would advance; but perhaps the threat or violence may induce timid persons to build. Such threats have driven capitalists trom this city. See the mills, running by gcal-~ tered avout 300 to 400 miles irom here rude articles brought and sent trom nere; the manufac- tured articl mt here for sale; it would be cheaper to mi Jacture them here. But such threats as Hewson makes have driven them end are driv thenh away; and while this city 1s al- most standing still, the country around ts being butlt up. It ts considerably cheaper to build a good brick house in Hoboken to-day than in this city. High wages and short hours have injured this city; the value of buildings that are buut ts increased Kcagade ce and 80 are the taxes, Builders may as well leave the city and seek a Bullding must stand still antil labor comes down. Money will seek Investment elsewhere, ‘The city was not drained or sowered forty years ago; the workmen of those days not so well housed as to-day; wages then about $6; floors sometimes $12 and higher.

Surrogate Hutchings left the city at a late nour on Thursday evening. Your of the Surrogate’s c'erks found letters on their desks when they entered the office yesterday morning, announcing that their services were no longer required in that department. The follow- ing is a list of those who have been cut off the pay- roll:— . Mr. Henry 8S. Fuller, one of the chief clerks of the administration department. Mr. Fuller was or Hoang yOars connected with the Surrogate’s Qiice, an was recommended by ex-iiovernor Holt. maf during the latter’s first term in the guber- natorial chair. f John Ronrelly, recommended, or rather ap- pointed, by éx-Sheriff Matthew 1. Brennan and ex- apearnen Yenny Burns, the member from Sligo. Fi iomas Dunlap, son of Colonel Tom Dunlap, head of the Bureau of Markets of the Department of Finance. James Leeds, & liberal renublican politician, recommended by Mr. Thomas stewart. The salaries of the following gentiemen, heads of departments in the Surrogate’s office, were re- duced from $3,000 to $2,500:—Mr. James Trainor, Administration Clerk; Mr. Oliver, Mr. Jellett, Pro- bate Clerk, and Mr. Styles, Certiticate Clerk. Surrogate Hutchings’ iriends say that during the session of the Legislature he has been subjected most extraordinary pressure in the matter of ointments, Nearly every member of the Leg- Jalature believed that he had a claim on him tor an appointment.
