under his orders, by the Heads of the proper
Departments, Of the most energetic steps for the
vigorous enforcement Of the laws and pledged obi

ments, by the employment of every element of the
national power in preventing or in,ercepting all
unlawful plots expeditions against the Island of
Cuba, or with a view to stir up revolt in that
Island. The following, we understand, is sum-
mary of the measures adopted by the Executive to
carry out the above object:
The orders issued in April are continued in full
force, as well as the Presidents proclamation ;
and the new orders to the Collectors and other off,
GERS been most rigid and precise,
The steam-frigate SaraRac, which was waiting
at Norfolk TO convey Mr.. LETcHkR to Mexico, as,
on the receipt Of the news Of the late execution at
Havana, directed by Telegraph to sail Immediately,
in order to ascertain the particulars of that tragedy
and revenue cutter was directed to convey Mr..
LETcHER to Havana, and thence he was TO be
taken to Vera Cruz in ship Of war. But, under
the more recent advices,. these orders have been
changed. The cutter is to continue on to Vera Cruz,
and all the American vessels Of war on the coast OF
Cuba will remain there, to intercept any illegal ex-
petitions from the United States
Both the steam vessels, the -Saranac and Vixen,
now on the coast of Cuba, will remain constantly
at sea- on the lookout for and with positive orders
to intercept and capture, any vessels from the
United States engaged in illegal proceedings agains

ed to the capture of the Pampero, which vessel was
in the vicinity Of Savannah river on the 3lst ut
The military and naval forces Of the country, a,
near the different ports have besh placed al the
control Of the civil officers of the Government, and
the commanders of them have been instructed to
render all the aid and assistance in their power.
Circulars have also been addressed to the Col

North and South, directing them to remain perma

porarily absent to return forthwith and personally
attend to the execution and enforcement of the in.
structions which have been issued by the different
Departments; and all of them are fully aware that
they will be held to strict accountability for the
ful6lment Of their duties.
The first act of the PRESIDENT, after his return
TO the city, and fully informing himself Of the facts
Of the case, and the undoubted delinquency of the
officer, was the dismissal Of the Collector Of Neu
Orleans, and the appointment of substitute
and the Collectors, Marshals, District Attorneys
and other officers of the Government have been
most emphatically informed that any neglect of
their duties, or any want of due zeal and activity
in the performance of them, will be followed by
immediate dismissal.

BOUNTY LAND CASES.

There were s,452 bounty land cases reported
upon in the Third Auditors Office during the month
Of August
The Pension Office has issued in all since Janu.
airy last about 10000 land warrants, under the &C,
of September, 1850.
We understand that numerous claims for arrear-
ages Of pay in the war Of 1912 have arisen since
the passage Of the bounty land act and, although
not one in fifty is allowable, still the labor of inves
tigation is necessarily very heavy.

The facts, we understand, are that the charter

Of Hargous Company, for three millions of dol.

company one million to get back this charter,
which, it is understood, they decline TO take.
