If ever the politicians. newsmOpgers and gutd-
nsmes Of a city were all agog, those Of this good
city were assuredly yesterday, the subject Of
the wild news from Cuba.
wrote you yesterday that the news was doubt
less false and 90 il proved to be. Still many per-
sons here honestly believed il, and among them

patch on the subject, but still believed the news

that he did not 60 to church any occasion. Who
got up the hoax, nobody knows IL il had originated
in New Yoik, We should of course have known
that the sun and moon hoax chaps got it up, and
should have appreciated il accordingly

cabinet related 10 the arrest OF General Lopez, q,
