have reached the United States have been very
much exaggerated Whether this was done pag
posely OF not, we cannot at present say; but the
seniIadictions of the reports concerning the nagni

which we received from there yesterday, through a
private source, and which we deem reliable.

Statements that have been received from Cuba by
