OF AMHERST COLLEOR, - — Shall Cuba be Destroyed t That Spain is entirely unable to. sup- press the Cuban revolution becomes every day more certain, According to Spanish ac counts, published in the Havana papers, the rebels still remain in force in tho Villas District. President Cesrepes, with his escort, is still in Camaguey, where also the rommand of Gen. IaNactO AGRAMONTE is operating; and it is admitted that the whole eastern part of the island, from Camaguey to Cape Maisi, is in possession of the patriots under Vicente Gancia at Las Tunas, Col. INctAN at Holguin, and Maxtwo Gostez in the jurisdictions of Santiago and Guantana. mo. In fact, the Spaniards ha recon. quered no territory that has been occupied by the Cubans The revolution has sustained itself during three years in the face of Spanish reinforce. ments amounting to over fifty thousand reg ulars, and notwithstanding the fact that for over eighteen months the Cubans received noaid whatever in the shape of arms or ammunition from their friends abroad. Dur ing th's protracted warfare, the central and eastern portions of the island have been devastated alike by the Cubans and the Spaniards, But the really wealthy agricul tural portion of Cuba has been untouched ; and yet we find that statistics of the exports of sugar from Havana and Matanzas show a d se of forty per cent. compared with the crop of 1870, All the sugar produced in the cane fields of Colon, Cardenas, Matanzas, and the jurisdictions further west is export ed either at Havana or Matanzas, and consti tutes in normal times over one-third of the sugar crop of the island. The war has not yet extended to them, and yet the crop in them is deficient by forty per cent. If to these statistics be added the decrease of pro. duction in the other sugar-producing juris dictions of the island, in some of which, as in Puerto Principe, Santa Cruz, Nuevitas, and Santiago, no crop at all was produced in 1870, the total diminution of this year's sugar crop in Cuba, compared with that of 1870—which showed a decrease of twenty five per cent. on that of 1869—muast be over sixty per cent, As Cuba produced in 1869 one-third of the sugar of the world, these figures are impor tant. Still more important, however, is Ukely tu be the result of the coming winter campaign. Forces which, against euch fear ful odds, have managed to maintain their ex- istence, are likely, when in receipt of ma teral aid, to initiate an effective offensive warfare ; and as the Cubans know that the kinews of war are derived by the Spaniards from tle colossal estates of the western por tion of the island, the torch will probably be applied with unsparing hands. Fi‘ty years ago San Domingo produced more sugar, more coffee, more tobacco than Cuba, San Domingo is now a desert which nobody wants, President GRANT alone ex cepted, If Cuba, as would appear to be in evitable, be reduced to a similar condition, the policy of Hamimrox Fis will hav: mainly contributed to produce this result ; and history will record the fact that we al Jowed a beautiful neighboring island, teem og with all the f the tropics, to be der aan American people, ‘the Cubans dared to aspire to the birthright of all Americans—liberty, products ved becaus More Facts about the Golden Rule Robbery. Mr RW. Tayion, the First Comptroller of the Treasury Department, in his report on the lots of the one million dc of United States funds by th etcamship Golden Rule in lars and more wreck of the May, 1865, says ; Tart of it has ever been recovered, and not Witnstonding the unremitting efforts ut the Depart Ment \ioneh deiectives and otherwise lor tree years or mere notuing he been discovered east Suspicion upon the officers or crew of the Ror of use cmpiosed om the Wrecning Ve that it was ever sug had Leen discovered upon the crew of the , oF vpon thoke employed on the it is unfair in Mr TAYLOR to attempt to connect them, or any We are not aware gested that anything which cast. suspicion wrecking vessel ; and of them, with the parties toward whom the evidence of robbery #0 straightly points Vor there is, or certainly has been, evidenev on file in Treasury Department which caste suspicion of fuul play in upon certain that Mr. Ta thie matter We do not know Lon has ever seen that evidi individuals, Me certainly sould have seen and digested it before he ventured to publigh a report upon the subject. Col. WiLtiat P, Woop, the lato Chief of the Secret Service Department, gays “Among other things, I hada chart of the Golden Rule's course made—aad 4. is on {ily now—from the time she loft New York the re tll whe struck on and it i# plain that she was steerod pluinb on, They made etroisht for the reef.” Col, Woop made that statement to our agenton the 19th day of last March, HM evidently betioved that the chart of the jen Rule's course which he lad had d placed on fily in the Secret Service Parcan was then till on file, He left it on fie, What 4 become of thatchutt Is dt poss:Llo that Mr. TAvLOR never aw it? Furthermore, Capt. Jenny Saute of the Beamship San Jago de Cubs, while under examination on thie case in March, 1866, bad the log of the Golden Rule placed before him, and from it he drew the following chart of the Golden Rule’s course “Taking the course an marked out on this log,” said Capt. Swrrn, eighteen miles allowance for the current, would bave wrecked the ship on Roveador reef beyond any doubt. I do not know Dennis; never saw him.” Capt. DeNs1s testified that he did allow just e'ghteen miles berth to the reef. On being questioned further, Capt. Smart said: “ Withott making any more allowance for current, this course would put him directly on the reef.” Capt. DENN1s's testimony was procured for the Government and placed on file, and 60 was Capt. Swit the above chart in cluded. What has become of those docu- ments? Is it possible thatthe First Comp. troller of the Treasury would foist a report upon the public which he knew to be con. trary to the evidence in the case? Or would he pretend to report upon such an important matter without examining the evidence which had been collected? He has certainly done one or the other of these two reprehen- sible things. It is also in evidence in this case, and the evid nee was placed on file in the Treasury Department, and ought to have been within the knowledge of Mr. Tayton before he made his report, that a man named Mont- GoMEny Gibbs took passage on the Golden Rule under the assumed and false name of M. B, Ginnons; that he inquired repeatedly and stealthily at the office of the Steamship Company whether Victron Ssiti, the Government agent in cherge of the treasure, was going out in the Golden Rule, and finally followed the safe containing the treasure on board the vessel; that a rough character named WALKER stole on board the steamer as she was leaving New York; that Ginvs and WALKER were intimate on the voyage, and that Victor Siri suspected both, and would have nothing to do with either of them; that Grons told Capt. Dex Nis that the treasure was on board, and talked with him about it; that Gipns almost immediately gained such a remarkable as. cendancy over Capt. Dennis that it was talked about by the officers and crew of the Golden Rule, and by the passengers also; that Capt. Dennis himself, although hi never saw Guses until he came on board the Golden Rule, testified, “ I thought as much of Grens as I could of an own brother if I'd lad one. I'd lay down my life for Grons.” It is also in evidence in this ease, and the evidence was placed on file in the Treasury Department, and ought to have been within the knowledge of Mr. Tayton before he made his report, that Capt. Dennis would not allow any one to go near the baggage room where the treasure safe could be seen— not even Victor Situ and Rurus Leion Tos, the Government agents, nor Mr. Hatt the baggage master ; that when Mr. Hurcu INGS, a stockholder in the Central American Transit Company which owned the Golder Rule, requested the captain, after the vessel had struck, to let Mr. Haut go into the bag gage room to get a flack of brandy which Mr Hvvcninos had deposited there, Capt. Dax NIS not only refused to let the baggage master go for the flask, but said: “I'll shoot the first damned man that goes down there !’ We copy that declaration of Capt. Dex x18 from the testimony of HALr, the Laggage master, himself, Gronce V. SLOTE, the chief engineer, testifies that “no sea could Lave broken open the safe,” and that “ Gipne and Capt. DENNIS were on the ship from the time she struck until the fourth or fifth day, whea they left for good.” EpEn & Co., the wreckers who recovered the safe, declare that in their opinion “the safe wae broken open before the wreck was abandoned.” VicTor SMi7MH testifies that after a great deal of persuasion he got permii from Capt. Dennis to go on board the Golden Rule the second day after she struck, wi company of eight picked men, to try to rescue the safe; but before they got on board the permission was revoked, and he and his men were commanded to keep off the vessel. Several days afterward, after much persuasion, the captain consented that an. other company of ten picked men might try to recover the safe, and Sarrm and Leow TON, the agents in charge ot it, offered five thousand dollars for its recovery, But be- fore the men could effect anything, they were peremptorily ordered off by Capt Dennis, on the alleged ground that it was dangerous to remain on the steamer. The following night a violent wind lashed the jon ha sea into fury, and when morning dawned the mystery of the safy was swallowed up in the Car.Lbean Is it possible that Mr, TAYLOR made his report without reading the Capt. Den or of Fuxank B. Matt, the ror of J. M, Roouns, the pur wer or of REED, the second mate ; or of G V, SLore, the chief engineer of the Golden Rule; at of Capt, Bireat and Capt, Jenny Sarru; or the letters and telegrame of AL oN MANN ; or the letters of Vieror Stu, written on Roneador reef while he was trying to recover the safe ; or the letter of EpEN &Co testimony of $18 baggage mas the wreckers who did recover the safe; or tht lotter of M, 8. STONE, @ passenger, to the Laports Herald ; or the reports of the dk tectives who were employed to work up the cago; or the letters of Mr, Cunesemay, the Assistant Treasurer at San Francisco, and Mr. Towrey, who visited Mr, Curesuman it his office and heard his statements as to Victor Sauvu’s declarations and opinions about this whole matter? If Al, TAYLOR did read all this testimony before he made Lip report, it ia strange that it did not excite monéy. Mr. TAYLon’s declaration that no- body fs suspected of foul play will be apt to lead the public to suspect Mr. TAvLon himeclf, It is admitted by Mr. Tayon that three 7.80 notes, of five hundred dollars each, were missing from a thirty-thousand-dollar pack- age payable to Davip Hays of San Fran. cisco, Which packaye was in bundle with twenty-six other packages of a similar kind which was recovered by the wreckers under the supervision of Victor Smit. How did those three notes get out of that package? ‘They could not have been washed out by the surf. Any human being who ever enw a package of Treasury yotes done up in wrap- pers for transmission knows that three of those notes could not have been taken from that package found in the surf at Roncador reef except by human agency. ‘They had to be pulled out. And those three notes hav- ing been pulled out, it was found that that bundle contained unnegotiable paper, which would be useless in the bands of the rob- bers, and so it was thrown into the hold. ‘That it was thrown into the hold is proved by the fact that it smelt strongly of bilge water when it was fished from the surf. It had become so saturated with bilge water that two weeks’ soaking and washing in the Caribbean Sea could not eradicate the smell of that damaging fact. Mr, TaYLor will find this information in Vicron Sauri’s let- ter to the Hon. Huon McCut.ocn, dated at Roncador reef, July 5, 1865. ‘The letter of instructions to Vreron Srrn, dated “Treasury Department, May 18, 1865,’ tells him he has been appointed “a special agent cf this Department to proceed with R. Le1anton to San Francisco in charge of an iron safe containing $1,000,000 in Treasury notes, $161,850 three-year 78-10 Treasury notes, also coupon bonds for $300—amount- ing in all to $1,162,150.” We call attention to the fact that the one million dollars is here officially declared to Le “ Treasury notes,” and not compound-in- terest notes, as Mr. TAYLon calls them in one portion of his report, in contradiction to his statement in another portion of it Mr. TAYLon says there was no record of tle numbers or of the denominations of these lost notes kept at the Treasury Depart ment. Is that the way in which such vast sums are sent over seas and across continents by that Department ? it is not We are informed that Why, then, was that money thus sent off? It is believed by those who have in’ ted this matter that the money was thus purposely sent off in order that it could not be traced, the robbery having been pre- determined and concocted by pares in the Treasury Department itself, If Mr. Taytor will overhaul the evidence in this case which has been placed on file in his Department, we think he will find some- thing which will cast suspicion on parties who are well known to the Government. There is an abundance of such testimony still in reserve, The following letter from one of the de tectives employed on the Golden Rule case corrects an important error in Mr. TAYLOR’s report : Bartiwone, Aug. %.—Vhe etatement of Mr. TAYLON of the U.S. ‘Treasury, o of any ove cise, tat the iron sue of the Golden Rule was ever de livered in Washington to the Treasury Department, ie a hie, Davin W, Gray.

Who sent that bogus safe to the Treasury Depart ment? The fact that such a safe was sent there in place of the original one which was lost is another proof that there was foul play in this matter. Will Mr. Tayzon try to learn where that substituted safe came from, and who sent it to the Treasury Department ? or will that duty also be devolved upon Tue Sun? - Hit Grant’s Nepotism.
