ARRIVED THIS DAY
THE CUBAN WAIL
Sentence of bioicouirits'Ai Companions-.
Americana limprtsoned..-An Americium
Judge ►u Danger. , -
HAVANA, May 14.—0 n board the Pajero it-1
Ocean° there came here the two Cubans, Gas
par and Diego Aguero, companions to the ut.-
fortunate General Goicouria in his endeavot
to leave the inland. These two gentlemen
succeeded in.getting away _from Gualaba is-'
land or Key, and in passing over to, Itoinano
Key; - but there`Were - seen - by a: fisherman and
denounced to the Spaniards and capturdd.
They state that the Canadian major who
was with them has probably died of
hunger and fatigue, and that the four
sailors have surely escaped. A Cuban report
denies the death of the Canadian major, , ,and
-affirms that he-has reached•-one -of •the -Balm
man in company with one of the sailors.
Seiiores Gaspar and Diego Aguero, who are
brothers, the eldest only 28years old,were first
taken to Nuevitas by their captors, bttt Gen.
Bodas ordered them here from there. Al
though they arrivedat 9 P. M., by 10P. NI., or
an hour later, they had been sentenced to
death by the garrote—a packed drum-head
eourt-martial having disposed of their, case
with the same haste and speed that charac
terized the proceedings against General Gio
couria They
. were soon after placed in eupilla,
and t his-evening-at-41,..-M-.--will-be-garrotedin
the presence,no doubt,of thousands of Spanish
vr , lunteers and loyalists. Their friends F ay
they will meet death with the same wonderful
composure and fortitude that General Goieou-
Ka displayed. Like him - they "will bedenies
an epitortunitvio - make addresses from the
scaffold. The elder of the victims,Col. Gaspar
Aguero ' Brigadier-General by brevet; I Err
lieve, is the same Aguero captured by Count
de Valmaseda in January, 1868, during the
battle of Bonilla, he (Agnero) being then in
.-urgent Governor of the district of Nuevitas.
He was sent to Spain, where he escaped from
the authorities, went to the I.Tnited Sta,tes,and
then•returned to the island
..-some six months
ago. This morning a Chinaman, convicted of
wounding a Spanish officer of a war, vessel on
hich he was employed, was shot on the pa
rade ground of Las, Cabanas. Three execa
lions in one day! Qf course the Havana - vol-
unteers will to-day be happy fellows !
- An Amerleim - Judge In Danger.
The Spaniards_ of Havana are very much
vexed at the discharge, in Key West, of the.
Cubans accused of the murder of Senor Caste
non, and loudly curse American justice. In
truth, however, they have only Spaniards to
- blame. -The wituesses against the accused
- Cubans were - all Spaniards, - and-reside - here - in -
Havana. When the case was about to come
before the Grand Jury-of Key West -the MS
trict Attorney telegraphed twice to these wit,
uesses to come over to Key West -and appear.
In court and give their evidence. In-,
steed -of complying, they alleged that
rhe - Cubans in - key - - West had - formed
conspiii - icy to kill tthem, telegraphed to
Washington for unneeded protection and re
mained In Havana. _ Under the circumstances
ihe Grand July properly failed to find a, true
hill against the - accused - Cnbans; Judge J: - H;
Goss, who ordered the release of-4„lie Cubans
upon the report of the jury, billow on a visit
-to Havana;•and some of the most ultra of -the
loyalists, hearing of his presence, projected at
tacking him in revenge for Ca.stanon's death,
hut wiser heads have thus far prevented-their
committing the outrage. Judge Goss has been
warned by several Spaniards of his danger,ancl
keeps on ins guard of the would-be assassins.
&Correct Estimate of 'Beth Armies.
EI
A - ArAirs., - May 14.—The indignation feltat
the brutal manner in which General GOicouria
-was ezecuted has not been limited to tie
- friends .of - free -Cuba-alone r _- but- even- -tie
Spanish volunteers, express dissatisfaction at
the atrocit3-.,
.21 - few daySsince three companies of Spanish
troops were sent to capture a force of reels
in the interior. Twenty-four miles from Saito
Espiritu they were met by the rebels, and
overcome. Several of the Spaniards mere
killed.
strati ons ci strengthened,ifilift - cinifirmed;W - r•
Mr. Weed's! narrative. He states that secret,
information was conveyed to - him, while in
Washington, _that Harper's Perry was to
be seized, . and that shortly afterward
sintilar. information •was given with
regard to the Navy Yard at Gos_pert. In both - .
instances those important points were occu
pied by the _rebels before the Government
could take measures for securing'a,ii adequate
defence. , This, : it will be remembered, was
shortly after the,4th of March, and indicates.,
a concert of,aetion On the -part ,of the reteds
not at all consistent with an assumption that,
- thelSonthernmembersTat least - , --- of - President -
Buchanan's Cabinet, were in the dark respect.'
i it
Our readers will also,remember Gen. Cass's
otter explaining the • reasgns which induced,
lim to resign from the Cabinet in December,
iB6O. He could not remain in the, Cabinet
and yet be loyal to the country. All these
!facts ldad to the conclusion that though it
Spanish total 16,6.10 bad been agreed upon that no open demon-
Cubans in arms, (nun disease 3,000 stration should be made by the South until
Cubans in arms, from the enemy's shot, 2,000 Buchanan's Administration bad terminated,
Cubans not in arms, from the enemy's still the.rebellion was being plotted, and ex".
shot pedients for precipitating it were discussed.
Cubans tried and executed... We believe there was h general understand
ins onthat point, for we knew that the sub
ject was Canvassed in army and naval • eircles
for nionths,and that scores of officers resigned
with a view to taking service in the rebel
cause. We know, too, that numbers of others •
were approached on that subject, and refused
to desert the Union flag. AlLtlais_preparation_
could not have been carried on without some
members of the Cabinet being apprized of it.
There is good reason to believe that at least
two of Mr. 'Buchanan's Cabinet—Messrs.Cotib
and Thompson—were actively in the interests
of rebellion for several months before the close
of his Administration, and others were per
sonally alive to the tact,if they did not partici.:
pate in the conspiracy. At times the Pressure
brought to bear upon the President by the two
Secretaries we have named,is said to have been
so strong and embarrassing that he was moved
to tears by his apprehensions. Indecision and
timidity were the ruling characteristics of his
conduct after Mr. Lincoln was elected.
Despite the assertions of Judge Black to the
contrary, we aro compelled to adhere to the
accepted record of the events of that time,and
we believe that it will pass into history,ele.spite
all Judge Black'e efforts to change Y.

which was at first very weak,li increased
constantly, and up to eight o'cloe ast evening
there was no apparent diminutto in the yield
of oil. Numerous admiring visitts paid their
respects to the new strike yester4y afternoon,
and with a new American flat flying from
the -top of the derrick,- it was n object of

FRIDAY, MAY 20, 1870.
Judge Jeremiah S. Black ) who was Attorney-
G hel eel malt r rrebilient Buchanan, and who
was transferred to the State Department in
December, 1860, when the general disruption
of the Cabinet took place, has appeared as the
champion of his old Administration—and of
"-Edwin M. Stanton I - A more incongruous-sat
ofctit'Alseati scar ealy .becon ceived,.nor a more.
7 . -itraordi nary advocate. Mr. Black deals largely
in bitter personalities, with which we have
nothing to do, but he makes some assertions
which are so widely at variance with the ac
cepted record of the period to which hid story
relates, that we feel called upon to consider
them. Hile article appears in the Galaxy for
Juno, and is written in answer to one on Mr.
Etanton by Senator Wilson: He asserts that
President Buchanan was not the weak and
irresolute man he is generally supposed to have
been ; that the last months of his. Adininistra
ticin were not marked by perturbation or inde
.cision that no member ot- -his Cabinet dared
to act in the interests of the embryo rebellion
while in ohice, and that the accusations which
have been made to that effect are base fabrica
tions. He denies, seriatim, the charges that
Cobb deranged the Treasury; that Floyd
scattered the army Lthat Toucey sent the navy
on distant - Servieti . ; - that Thompson perinitted
the robbery of trust (finds, or that Mr. Stanton,
while acting as Mr. Jiuchanan's Attorney-
General. ever wavered in 'his Democratic in
retationstLtheiawastocoercion_of_Btates_
by the Federal Government. He declares that
Mr. Stanton's Dery ~critic opinions did not
change when the war opened, but that he was
emphatic in his professed adherence to them
up to within a few weeks of his appointment
as Secretary of War by Mr. Lincoln, in
January, 1862. He admits, however, that his
conversion was a real one, and was iminetli
ately followed_by a change of party _relations.
Judge Black has the grace to say that" he was
not a mere fawning hypocrite."
We are not prepared toaccept Mr. Black's
assertions, nor to admit the force of his argu
:cents. It is natural that he should seek to
retrieve the evil reputation of the only Ad
"nairdietration With - whiciihe wag ever in any
way connected, but for that very, reason his,
statements must be received with allowance.
We certainly are not disposed to accept a
justification of Mr. Buchanan any the more
readily because it is disguised under a pre
tended defence of Mr.Btanton. '
By a singular coincidence, the number of
the (iahrry containing Judge Black's defence
also contains a very interesting chapter from
Mr. Thaarlow Weed's forthcoming autobio
graphy, bearingfitrongly. upon_ the question
we are considenng. It gives . a sketch of some
of the most impor,tant incidents which trans
-Pired at theinception__ of _the rebellion, and
during that memorable period in which occur
red what Laboulaye called "the uprising of
,a great people." Mr. Weed states that while
present at Mr. Lincoln's inauguration, on the
4th of March, 1861, be discovered unmistak
ble evidence that rebellion had been deliber
tifely 'planned; and that - preparations -- fol l
active hostilities were made. The --magni
'tilde of these preparations, as detailed by
-him, forbid the idea. -that—Mtvßuchartan--and

A CAWFORIVIA VIZAGEDIG
A Chinaman Assassinates His Purelamed
(Fiese het; Sacramento Reporter May no
Yesterday morning a young. man-brought
word to the police that ' a Chinese woman
bad been almost cut to pieces, and that her as
sailant had committed suicide. Officers pro
ceeded to a cellar on I street; and in a back
room found a woman on the floor, entirely in
sensible, and weltering in blood. In another
- room - they - discovered - a -- man — StUpeffed front
the effects of poison. Doetors were .iramedi-•
ately - called,who dress the Mangled body of ther
woman, on which no less thantwenty-two
wounds bad been inflicted.' Both arms weret
n. - ken; and iu plebes 'the bones laid bare.'
Horrible gashes wore made on either, side of.
her neck, one of her breasts
_.was.,.,_
nearly cut off, and other 'part.4 of - her person
dreadfully mangled. She was carried to the
hospital, with small, hopes of her recovery.
The man, Ti Lee, was taken to the station
house, and a Chinese dector, who was sup
posed to understand the nature of the pciison
used, directed to use his, skill in bringing him
to, whieh he did at onee by administering a
strong emetic. On being restored to his senses,'
Ti Lee confessed the deed and -his murderous
intentions ; but, in extenuation, said that the -
woman bad for a long time urged-him to pur
chase her of her owner that' she might be hist
wife, and professed great love--for _him.-; He .•
believed her story, and did atS directed, paying
$6OO in gold coin tor her.
He said she was very good to him for seine
time, but has lately been receiving the anent
tiom of ;another Chinaman, which caused
quarreling, and yesterday morning told hint
(Ti - Lee)that she would have nothing more to.
do' do' with hipa,-and kicked - him - . . andsaid - she
would put a knife in his side: He professes
to have been' fully impressed with the belief'
that she was in earnest in. this threat, and, in ,
the full belief that she was dead, claims to -
have been fully justified inputting, ber beyond'
the_pow,cr of putting them into execution.
He described the implements with which he
did the butchery, and said they were a knife
and a - hatchet, and were in the room whore bei
lay._Thia case..fully illustrates_ the _condition .
of te Chinese women' n our midst, and quite
as fully the barbaroms vengeance of the - class -
of.men who= abide,. with-them. It LS hardly
possible that the woman can live, - but if she
does we may get at particulars that_
'n even a more glaring light. -

-
" Attest, ROBERT BE E
THLL, •
r " Clerk of Select Council.'
" Delay in cornplying with_the foregoing re
quest was not for want of proper -respect for
Select Council, but may be attributed to the..
fact that the object of the author . of the reso-,,
lotion was tot very clearly expressed 'therein.
"From the proceedings of Select Council at •
their meeting as published in the newspapers
of the city, I now Understand that the. author
of the resolution desires to know - by *hat
authority ashes are used'in paving the streets.
"To which interrogatory I respectfully re
ply, by authority . of ordinances approved in
March and June in the year 1868.
"Notwithstanding Councils have by these
ordinances sanctioned the use of ashes, the.
Commissioners - of - Highways', - Weilig — sati - gfiii - d — ,„
that gravel is far superior for paving, have
(where they have authority to do it without .
contravening the ordinance of
_Councils)
directed the work to be done with gravel.
"During the entire term of the preSent .
Board of Commissioners the Supervisors'..
under their control have been required in
paving streets to use gravel; and in order 'to
more effectually prevent the use of ashes •
(where it was not sanctioned by Councils),.,
the Committee un Highways, at the instance
of the Chief Commissioner, adopted `a resolu
tion that no.bills shall be approved for work
done with ashes.
"I am satisfied that through the joint efforts
of the committee and commission of high
ways, that the use of ashes; so far av they
have authority in the matter, 7111 not be "per
mined.
It . must be known to most of the thenibers .
of councils that the highway department • has
not entire control Over the paving and repair-.
ing of streets.
„ The-passenger railway companies repair
the streets along the. line of their roads; the
trustees of the gas works repair the streets..
where they are * broken for the admission of
gas pipe, and the contractors for. constructing
culverts repave over their work.
"These parties claim the right to use ashes,
AS councils have, in the ordinances alluded to,
permitted their use in new paving, and there
being no ordinance to prevent • their use irk
making repairs.
"Through ignorance of those facts, unjust
and undeserved censure is daily heaped upon
the Highway Department;even those whose
duty it is to investigate these things make qn
founded charges, and leave the department to
bear the odium, when by Proper inquiry COT
rect information could be had and the censure
placed where it properly belongs. •
"In view of these facts, and in order to re-.'
]love this department from a responsibility
that does not belong to it, I would recom
mend that Councils forbid by ordinanne the.
use of ashes for paving or repairing:streets •
by any parties. This being, I think, the only
effectual way to prevent it.
"Yours respectfully, . .
