" BALTIMORE, Aug. 26.
Cuba aud the Cubans, and Lopez and his
flibusferos, are now The topics of universal con-
versation in this city, but not of that excl ed
ceiling which seems toprevail at New York and
New Orleans. Great sympathy is felt for the
victims OF the nassacre, but their fate is nothing
more nor less than was expected by our citizens
generally The Cuban authorities had pro-
claimed to them their fate in advance, and the
American government had warned them that no
interference could be made in their behalf
q Spanish yene eance against an unarmed foe
was always known to be Of the most vindicti&e
hence it doubtless was that these men
were enabled to meet death with such calmness
and composure. The news from New Orleans,
however, by the Vixen, described them as de-
serters from, opez and from the fact of their
being unarmed and making no resistance, this is
probably correct.
Collector Kane, and the officers Of the Gus
toms generally are keeping close watch on
party of fiidusieros, who are organizing in this
city, and expect 10 sail on board the steamer
Monmouth, brought here some time since by
we'll known Yew Yorker, who went home some
weeks since to raise the necessary funds and
IS far as the government authorities have been
able to ascertain, has not returned vet. Their
plan is TO clear her for New York, and send
some men and ammunition in some OF our
coastng schooners, to be transferred to her
dec Ks n the bay. II is even suspected that they
propose TO meet one of the Alexandria coal YES
sells, at the mouth of the Potomac, and tranship
her coal on board. go as to avoid suspicion here !
The Cuba news crented great excitement at
Savann j. A tremendous town meeting was
held there on Thursday evening. a committee
was appointed, and, after seve al speeches, an
adjournment was carried till Friday.
