San antonio, Texas, Berar county, August 8.
You will doubtless be surprised at receiving ccmmunica-
ton from this distant place. But write thinking to give
YOU news in advance Of other than this For month
past there have been assembled in this place about hum
ded men, most of them discharged rangers, Of braue
spirit and daring enterprise, uho hare always struck ter
yor into the hearts enemies rhom they haze
tered They have for years been in actual service under the
gallant Hays and Walker fs during the Texan revou-
tion then the late with Mexico and lastly under Col
against the Camanches Men whose lives have been
spent such services be expected to remain in the
quiet peaceful avocaons Of life So, for few weeks past
there have been meetings and strong hints Of Cuban
invasion. Men preparing their firearms and get
ting ready leave and the day before yesterday Gully
s) J,ty N all armed and ready for seruices yester
day eighty lef They going to Corpus Christi,
being in readiness there receive them. This
morning news 1.-THE forged news] received that the
Cubans had struck for themselves and great the excite
men that hundred ready to kape to-mor
yow. They all armed wth and Colts large reuolv
e-s, which they can handle with dextery that is truly
surprising.
The Washington Correspondents Of different
Democratic and Anti-Administration papers, who
are more or less in the secrets of the Cuban In
vaders, occasionally render us service by furnish
ing us with additional "proofs Of the conspiracy"
and with some particulars which will be new as
well as instructive to our readers.
For example, Washington correspondent Of
the Charleston Courier, whose Letter has just come
back to US from Florida-and which was of course
written before the sailing of the Pampero from
New Observation-Disclosures the following particulars,
which have, through subsequent events, become
deeply interesting:
The Pampero to land her passengers and their effects
fin Cuba] and return for more
The Panpe-o, when she returns s back under
the Lopez flag. and with commission, 4 LETTER
MARauS, FROM his PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT. The
Pampeo was fitted New Orleans openly, and without
any conceament and Government officers in
terposed question her. The troops she carried openly
drilled weeks the city. So this expedition set
on foot in the United States contrary the law Of 1878
At New Orleans is said hepubic sentiment strongly
in favor Of the enterprise that the d,cs oh uouH obsuct
Il be degarded Thus while the instruction against
the Cuban Government has been entirely queLedin Cuba it
is becoming formidable here in the United States"
From the Washington correspondent of the Balt-
more Sun we have the interesting information that
"a steamer is fitting out from New York with
liberal supplies for the invaders; and that steam
ers will rush from every port between New York
and Key West to succor and revenge the in
vaders."
The same correspondent gives US hint that the
Revenue Cutters keep out of the way of the steam
ers engaged in these enterprises against friendly
Power, against the law of nations against all moral
obligation, against the prohbory law Of the United
States, and the positive orders Of the Executive
Departments Of the Government. We trust, if the
Secretary of the Treasury knows this correspon-
dent, he will ascertain from him whether he has
authority for the intimation that the Revenue Cutter
at Key West "kept out Of the way of the Pampero
or was purposely "unfit for SERVICE" and, if he
has, that the Secretary will take the measures
which such case of violation of duty demands. Il
BY the arrival of the brig .alcina at Pensacola,
we learn, via Mobile, that the first intimation they
had IN Cuba ofthe pretended Declaration Of hide
pendence by the Cubans, was copy Of it received
at Havana from New Orleans. 1t was this pre-
tended rising of the Cubans, the reader will have
seen above, which seduced from their homes and
their families SO many young men, who, but for
this device, might have lived to be useful and re-
spected citizens of the United States.
