for the following extract OF a letter dated
"ALvARApo, March 2s, 1925.
awe have been all hustle here OF late,
making an effort to wage war with Cuba by \
sending troops to Campeachy, where report
SAYS, I2 or 1900 men are concentrating to
invade the island of Cuba, by checkmatlns
the famous Castle st. Juan de Glao. 1900
men well equipped went out OF this port
this mo, ming in merchant vessels taken as
Iansports--the brig Margaret Wright,
Chamberlain, of Norfolk, Virginia, and 9TH
ers who were English, French, and one ofthis
country, under convoy of two heavy gun
boats. THIS government pays them cxtrav-
agantly well and has better credit for libc-
rality than any other.
The government armed schooner Egucll- |
er and a gunboat succeeded III capturing a
Spanish government armed Feucca from
Cuba, which had supplied the Castle and
was returning. A report is in circulation
here to day that Bolivar will join St. Anne
with troops and with such forces for the in
vastJn as to render success Ccrtain-the
soldiers enlisted from this country are well
adapted for such an enterprise. / inclose
! YOU the proclamation of st. Anne, which
may be worth publshing.-The indepen-
dencc of that Island fear will ruin its agr-
culture and injure the commerce of the Uni
/ ted States-I leave to futurty events as they
transpirc."
The Commanding General Of the Sate Of

Eiqnd Of Cuba.
Soldiers! You will for some days leave
your own soil to occupy that of neighbor-
ing enemy Your object should be the pos
session of one OF the principal fortresses of
Havana The state of war in which We
are placed with the Spanish nation, the i'll
terests OF this country, and the clamours of
good men in the island Of Cuba, who have
petitoned for aid, however tritiing, from the
Mexican Republics, authorlse the present
undertaking. Occupy an enemy's position
by military mannuvre, doing away injury
to the nation, and securing nnumerablc ad-
vantages instead thereof, and delivering a
country of brothers, are inappreclablc SER
vices which ] cannot decline.
Soldiers The operation you are about to
execute is the first of a combined plan. The
military and many of the inhabitants will CO.
operate with YOU for its fulhlment You will
MAINTAIN at every hazard the position you
are to occupy until can join you.

, of heroes. You are about to secure the inde-
pcndencc of this republic forever, as well as
that Of the island of Cuba.
Soldiers The nation conhdes in Your valor
and virtue the destiny Of thousands. can
not doubt but that fifteen hundred mcn ami
, mated with intentions like yours, will be
enough to intimidatc aud even vanguish the
/ handful of mcrcenary soldiers whom the
c captain general of tlmt island can count up
. on; as otherwise We have more than enough
{ Of forces i'll the Single province Of Yucatal
