The bill of sale lies open for inspection at the Spanish Consulate. The " Fatchoy" was certainly fitted up as an emigrant ship in the harbour of Hong Kong, and Mr. Sampson, of the Harbour-Master's, came on board every day to see that no iron gratings were fitted on the hatches, and that no barricades were erected. The cooUes from the " Rosita y Nina" were certainly transferred to the " Fatchoy," when she had only about 1 50 emigrants on board. That your statements are vouched for as facts by tw...o Consuls-General as sworn evidence is a simple error ; the chief engineer told us this morning that he never swore to anything before the Consul-General at Havana, but that he simply told his tale in a conversational manner. There is no doubt but that the American Consul-General drew largely upon his imagination if his statements of facts really are what you represent them to be. We repeat that your statement that the coolies were during the yoyage "flogged, kicked, cuffed and treated with the greatest inhumanity," is incorrect, and for this we have now likewise the authority of the chief engineer himself.
