THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, JUNE 28, 1869. OFF FOR CUBA. Departure of a Patriot Expedition Last Night Comprising 800 Men Col. Ryan in Command The 'First New York Regiment" of Cuban Volunteers off for the Field. fVom th K. i'. Herald of ytxtrrday. Lfwt night waa an anxioiiH niylit for hun dreds of the friends of the Cuban revolution in this city, for it was the niont momentous period yet experienced, so far as the sending of aid to the strugcling patriots was concerned, HH the failure of tho embarkation of the relief despatched last night would certainly have been the severest blow to the revolutionary cause that could possibly be sustained. It has cost months of labor of tho most trying and arduous description, considering the embar rassments which have beeu thrown in tho wuy liy the action of over-zealous United Mates officials in this city, by quibbling, knuckling executive ollicers at Washington, by spying journals in this city which were in the interest of Spain, and the indiscretions of a few of the actual participants in theaohemo. In addition to all these obstacles, hundreds of thousands of dollars have been expended in the purchase of about ."iOOO stands of Reming ton breech-loading rifles, two batteries of ar tillery, shot, shell, and military stores, tho victualling and housing of about 1000 men, and the chartering of not less than four ves sels of different classes. That such aid was nctnnlly despatched from this city lat night there is not the slightest donht, and tho writer of this article has per sonal knowledge of the fact, and that tho ex pedition is of larger proportions, more com plete outfit and equipment than all other ex peditions combined, and about which so much has been said and written, is also beyond question. To come, however, to the facts. Yester day was a rather busy day at tho various Cuban headquarters or bureaus in this city, and during the afternoon any one who had called at the different offices could not have failed to observe that all the more prominent officials were absent from their accustomed desks, and it Mas useless to ask for Senor this or General that, or Colonel(the other. Swarthy and polite Cuban clerks and attaches replied to all these interrogatories, "lie is not in." And yet everything was quiet and orderly, no flurry or excitement. The officials seemed to have acquired method in their proceedings through the experience they have had in fat ting out other smaller bodies of recruits. At the Casino in Houston street, at Cooper Hall, Jersey City, and other places where tho recruits have been rendezvoused, some curious changes have taken place within the past week. On one day the establishments were full and on the next only a few, who appeared to be acting as guards, were present, while the larger squads were nowhere to bo seen. This, it is understood, was in consequence of orders issued as a test to determine how many of the men would respond by their actual pre sence when finally ordered out for embarka tion, and also to puzzle and bewilder the Spanish spies and the United States Marshal's deputies. From about '2 o'clock yesterday afternoon a similar manoeuvre was en acted up to nearly 7 o'clock last niuht: tne men were leaving in small squad of from two to five, and senaratina iu va rious directions, or rather in all directions, and at half-past ( o'clock scarcely a man was to be found at any of the barracks, which yesterday morning contained several hundred." Large numbers of these small par ties crossed from New York by the Christo pher, Cortlandt, and Liberty street ferries to Jersey City and Hoboken, as well as by the Whitehall ferry to Staten Island, lien sta tioned in Jersey City and Hoboken reversed this order of things, and came over to the New York side and took passage q Staten Island. A lie movements were kaleidoscopic in the ex treme and had '. no nrAPiKn ptVfc.fc thov mwo intenaea nave. it was not conceived that tbS: sporadic bands were to bo assembled at H given hour in three different localities, to almost a moment of time in accuracy, and thus embark under cover of the night for their ultimate destination. None of them carried anything larger than an ordinary tra velling bag, as orders had been issued to that effect, and some did not even carry as much baggage as Bitch a receptacle would contain. A SMALL STEAMER, the name of which no one pretended to know, and which those who were informed would not give, after being busy in. the harbor at her accustomed duties all day steamed up into the shadows of tho grand old trees that dot the Elyshui Fields off Hoboken about 7 o'clock, and came to a mooring 'for the night." Shortly afterwards a few men in groups were seen to stroll leisurely up, and after lounging on the pier and along tho shore in an indifferent manner, they as nonchalantly went on board the vessel, some passing from the pier, while others, taking small boats and sailing outside, passed up a small laddor which had been "negligently" hung over tho outer bulwark of the vessel. A few curious idlers asked some of the men whore they were going, and were told "to tho fishing banks." And for an hour after darkness sot iu the cry, or rather the whisper, was, "Still-they come !" About 10 o'clock all were on brard, and the shore was quiet save the ripple of water on the beach and the dripping of ruin from tho trees. The night was most propitiously dark; the atmosphere, which liad been heavy and murky all day, was now hazy and semi opaque with the drizzling shower, and all on board tnougut Qhat, at least so far as the weather was concerned, fortune had indeed favored tne brave on this occasion. At 10 o clock the steamer had got well out into the stream, and with the 'ordinary signal lights winking drowsily from the yards sho passed down towards the Battery. Everything was very quiet on board, quieter, indeed, than tho ferryboats which she passed, and which buf feted the water with their wheels like levia thans drowning. As the unknown steamer got down opposite Trinity Church, a little tugboat, a propeller, one of tho "devil fish of the harbor," that run screaming about in the daytime as though they felt "so glad," spurted out from the foot of Morris street, and falling almost in the wako of tho larger vessel, sped close on her heels down past liedloe s Island and the Robin s Reef bunt, when both vessels shut oft' steam and lay to near Elm I'ark, Staten Island, tho favorite pleasure ground. Here the little tugboat drifted lazily on top of the water, while the larger steamer went slowly alongside the pier, and a number or ' stragglers came on board in the same "long drawn out" manner as those who had been taken on board at the Elvsian Fields, when the vessel pnt off from the landing and steamed almost noiselessly through the Nar rows and down the Lower Buy, and as she passed near Quarantine station she slackened upoed, the little tug run alongside, and about twenty persons ascended rope ladders to t ie deck of the steamer. All was still, orderly, and quiet on board, and in a few minutes the tug turned her bow to tho city and her con voy proceeded out past Handy Hook. Nearly EIGHT HUNDRED MEN - ' were on board of her, banded together, en listed to fight tho battles of Cuban indepen dence under tho name of the "1st New York Regiment." On her deck stood, front and foremost, the dashing Union army scout, Indian trailer and general fighter, wherever fighting is needed, Colonel W. A. C. ltyan; Captain l'eters, Gene ral Spear, tho Fenian cavalryman; Colonel Conrrier, Captain Anderson, of Richmond, Va,; and Dr. J. S: Dorset, also of Richmond, Va., and who goes out as medical director of the expedition. General Goiacari, of Nicara guan filibustering reputation, and an ardent and soldierly, though rather elderly patriot, was reported to be among tho number. Tho gentlemen just named formed part of the party who embarked on tho tug at the foot of Morris street, they having all previously ren dezvoused at tho Stevens House, near Bow ling Green, and within eaHy access of tho pier. The embarkation of tho men had been superintended by a number of tho less noto riously known offisers, principally those who had never been arrested in this city, and who were less liable to bo recognized by peeping officials from tho Marshal's office. At mid night tho expedition was fairly and clearly under way. No ARMS OH AMMUNITION of any kind, save a few side arms, consisting mainly of revolvers, and about two dozen Remington rifles, were on board. Nor were there any stores of particular importance, beyond what tho satchels and carpet-bags of the men contained, and rations sufficient to subsist tho regiment for two days. Colonel Ryan on last Friday personally informed the writer, who has had several interviews with him since his escape from tho Deputy Mar shal, that neither arms, ammunition, or stores would be taken out from this port, all tho ma terial of that description having been shipped on board a vessel which sailed nearly two weeks ago, and which is awaiting this expedi tion at sea. Tho vessel referred to is, beyond doubt, the Quaker City, about which such a rumpus was raised by tho United States authorities a few weeks since. It will bo re membered that tho Quaker City furnished abundant proofs prior to her sailing, about a fortnight since, that her cargo of arms and stores were not intended for the Cubans. Nor were they indeed at that particular time and under the attendant circumstances, but tho commander merely changed his mind shortly after leaving New York, and is waiting for tho customer who sailed to his market last night. THE EXPEDITION does not number quite 800 men, exclusive of officers, but that is the estimated number of officers and men on board. Colonel Ryan is commander-in-chief, and will command the force as a regiment on their arrival in Cuba. Dr. Dorset was formerly medical director on the staff of General Beauregard during tho war, and a friend of General Jordan, who was also on the same staff, and who took out the expedition in the Terit a few weeks since. THE REGIMENTAL FLAG is a unique and beautiful little standard. It is of sky blue silk, about five feet long by three feet wide, and bordered by a heavy bul lion fringe. Tho staff was of stained oak, about eight feet in length; but it was found necessary to Cut off more than five feet of it last night, as it was an inconvenient article to carry about where detectives might be lurk ing. A small golden eagle volant surmoiiutei the staff, and two golden cords with bullion tassels were pendant therefrom. Tho device of the banner was as follows: 1ST N, Arms of ttie 8tateof New York. Y. C. C. L. Trecentada per la Junta Patriotica Cuimnas. All the lettering was in a'lit, and the arms of the Stato of New York were admirably exe cuted in colors. COLONEL RYAN, after his escnpe from tho United States officers on Wednesday night lost, went in a carriage to tho house of a tnencl in Brooklyn tne 'friend indeed" who tied Downie in the Casino. There he cut off his long flowing face with iodine to But three persons Junta knew of his o'clock on Thursday hair, and painted his darken his complexion, of tho whole Cuban whereabouts. At five afternoon he was notified that it was unsafe to remain at that retreat any longer and in tho guise of an express-wagon driver he went to tho house of a lady friend near Clin ton -and Atlantic streets, with a basket on his arm. Here he remained in a third-story back room until Friday night, when he came to this city in the'guise of a policeman without a shield, and actually took up quarters within two blocks of Ludlow Street Jail where ho was wanted so badly remaining there until about 9 o'clock last night, when he was driven in a carriage to the Stevens llouso. mid proceeded thence to the tug at the foot of Morns street. PICTURES AROUND SANTO DOMINGO. Denotation of W ar A Jlrave Old Spnninrd. Santo Domingo, May. At the beginning of W,:i there were many charming little farms close to the walls of the city of Columbus, as Santo Domingo loves to be called, and of these none was more charming than tho one that bore the capricious name of La Mia My Own. Situated on a gentle hill, it com manded a fine view of the city gates, with their bastions and battlements, and beyond them tho outer anchorage of the port on One side, and on tho other the graceful outlines of the tree-embowod village homes of San Carlos. San Carlos now in ruins was then a lively, prosperous suburb of tho city of Santo Domingo. Many of its inhabitants were co'ored people perhaps tho majority; but as there never was that sharp conflict of races at this end of tho island which had filled the western division with such horrors, they lived in perfect harmony with their white neighbors. La Mia was thm occupied by three families. One consist-id of an aged lady of Spanish birth and a wild young grandson, whoHO reckless habits were known and condemned by every inhabitant of San Carlos except his blind and loving grandmother. Tho other two families were African, and worked the place under the pre sumed charge of Don Luis, the grandson, and the only living descendant of the old lady, its mistress. Next to La Mia was the estancftia of an American family, who mada it their winter residence, and devoted extraordinary care to its establishment. In 18(!il the Dominicans had taken up arms for the restoration of what the Spanish termed the "extinguished repub lic," and, in the fierce struggle that ensued, Don Lui sided with the Spanish interest. With his grandmother's aid and influence he recruited a company of native Dominicans, and received a captain's commission. He is charged with having gone beyond even a Spanish captain's charter of rapine and pillage in the inarch he made with the regiment sent up to capture and chastise San Cristovalt The people there, one bright naoonligh. night, brought out their old white cross banner from its hiding-place, and, with the sudden war-cry of "God and Liberty !" drove the Spanish garrison out of the place. Re enforced by the regiment in which Don Luis figured, the garrison rallied and re-entered the place; but it was like entering a city of the dead. The inhabitants had fled, taking with them to the steen Corner Hills of the Nigua what their animals could carry, and, so far as time allowed, destroying the rest, even to their own houses. In a short time the Dominicans gathered in greater strength and with more settled plans; and after some rough experience from guerilla attacks, Don Luis saw his regiment obliged to evacuate San Cristobal. In taking their unwilling march back to the sea-coast they destroyed every thing that did not require too long a halt. They burned houses, shot cattle they did not take time to dress and eat, and set fire to the fields of sugar-cane, that the flames might consume not only the ready harvests, but the hedges that protected them. As his detachment neared the walls of Santo Domingo, Don Luis was mot by flying rumors of other disgraces to Spanish arms, and of a wider desolation of hearths and homes by order of Spanish officials. His force bivouacked at the old fort of San Jero nimo. two miles from the city gates, and, after making his dispositions for the night, he spurred on to learn how far the course of wanton, and worse than needless, desolation Lad been carried. He reached the broad, irregular street which stretches from the Conde gate up the hill of Han Carlos. Not a light twinkled in the long vista; not the murmur of a human voice was heard where, from his earliest days, had never failed the sound of many earnest, animated voices. It was the dead frame of the pleasant, bustling town of his love', through which he had rode so gayly only' six weeks before. Suddenly, the city bells rung out the call to evening prayer, and Luis recollected that "God and his altars remained." He said the words aloud, and, as he spoke, he saw the gleam of a single light in a window nt the American estancia, and he rushed to it in headlong bewilderment. It was on his way to La Mia, and as he rode into the very piazza he asked what had befallen there. No one could tell exactly. The inhabitants of San Carlos had been ordered to retire in mass within the city walls, and there the Spaniards were stupidly shutting themselves up to be baited like wolves in a net, by the ex asperated Dominicans. "We are the last family that remains outside," said the Ameri can; "but with twenty-five volunteers and I can raise 200 in San Carlos I would engage to maintain this place to the end." "I will hold San Carlos for Queen Isabella with my own company," exclaimed Don Luis in an agony of shame for such unparalleled mismanagement. "It will be useless, Don Luis, to struggle for a Government that neither knows how to make a nation nor to rule one. You are here alone, well mounted, and a Dominican by birth and right. Take the road to Santiago, and offer your sword to the cause of your country." "I will eat it first," said Don Lnis, half drawing it and then dashing it back into the sheath; "I belong to Spain and Isabella Segunda, and will die in their cause." "As you please, but I woidd prefer dying for a more hopeful cause, and truer friends. La Mia was given up to pillage to-day, as we!! as our place nere." So speaking, the Ameri can led him to the door, and pointed out to him how the thick grove of orange trees, which had obscured the sight of one place from the . other, had disappeared. "Yester day, they cut down your fruit trees and part of mine; to-morrow the work of destruction will be finished, and San Carlos made unin habitable." "To ?.'Lat end is all this destruction?" asked Luis, completely stupefied. "They don't know themselves. In my case it was reason enough that I am American; but you, a loyal Spanish subject, might have been spared. Will it be believed that Luis not only con tinued with the Spaniards to the end, but kept with him in his company fifty of the young colored men of Ban Carlos; and, what is still harder to believe, that, after he and they were dismissed from the Spanish service, and returned here last month, poor, dishon ored men, to seek an asylum in tho country they had betrayed, they were all received like the prodigal son of the parable, with entire forgiveness and a generous welcome ? I am speaking of people I know, of facts that I have, to some extent, witnessed, or it wouid be hard to convince me that the same Do minicans who fought so bravely and sacrificed so immensely to break the Spanish yoke, could so freely and entirely forgive their ene mies; but Mkftit is. N. Y. Tribune. The troubles in the Urallan provinces of Russia still continue, and tne insurgents are suid to bu in such strength that they have cut on most or the means of communication between Russian proper and Central Asia, thus almost paralyzing the trade be tween those countries. According to a letter from Orenburg in the Exchange JlulUtiu of Kazan, the Importation of cotton and silk into Turkestan has ceased Hiuce last March, in consequence of the dis turbed state of the frontier districts. A corres pondent of the Mtmeoiv Uaze.ttr, dating from Tast-h-kvnd, adds that "two of the bitterest enemies of Rus sia, badyk and Atamkoul," have Invaded the Kha nate of Khiva at the head of au Insurgent bamL He adds that "all the post-roads arc abandoned, and the communications are so Interrupted that the only way or reacinug 'laschkenil In safety is to make a deteur by way of Siberia." Meanwhile the Govern ment Is still considering the projector a railway communication between Russia aud Ccntrul Asia. . The Trade Committee of the Min istry of Finance at St. Petersburg has Just reported in favor of the proposed line between the eustem shores of the Caspian ami the Aiuou Dar.van. and strongly recommends that the work should be commenced as soon as possible. This rail way is to be connected with Moscow by a line of steamers on the Caspian aud the Volga. Auother plun, which has many advocates, Is that the pro posed railway should start from Orenburg; but tho project recommended by the committee is said to find the most favor with thd Government, chictly because it would facilitate the opening of a uew channel for Russian commerce with China via Katdigar. Another committee, composed of dele gates from the departments of the Interior, of Fi nance, of War, and of the Navy, left St. Petersburg on the Ud ult, under the direction of General bkol kotr, on a mission to the Amoor district and the island of Sughalien, for the purpose of investigating on the spot Die capabilities of those countries us re gards colonization and commercial enterprise.- The enrolled militia of New Hampshire numbers 08,055 strong.
