From the N Y Herald Of Sunday.
At an early hour yesterday, Mr.. Tallmadge, the
United States marshall assisted by his efficient iep-
uties, Messrs Tallmadge, Thompson. Brown, Rakiel-
WITT, and Walsh, was busy engaged in the arrange
ment of plans to effect the of the alleged ring
leaders of the Cuban expedition. the facts of which
we have previous alluded to; but in order to obtain
the correct information to whom the parties were,
said to be engaged in this enterprise, it found
expedient to adopt method by which could be as
ceralned with certainty and in order to effect that
object. Deputy Rakielewitz disguised himselfa as
of the emigrant Germans and proceeded to South
Amboy, and there mingled among the men who were
congregaed in that vicinity ready for the embarca-
ton. On converslng in German with these men, the
officer soon ascertalned the of certain persons
in New York who were said to be the leading parties
in the contemplated invasion.
Accordingly, five of these men were taken, by an
invitation given by the officer and conveyed before
before Mr.. Nelson, the United States commits
before whom certain afidavts were preferred, and
warrants issued for the following persons:
John L. O'Sulvan, son-in-law of DR.. j. Kearney
Rogers; VIM. T. Rogers, jr nephew of the said DR..
Rogers Captain Lewis, captain of the steamboat
Cleopatra and formerly captain of the Creole, in the
the former expedition Major Louis Schlesinger,
one of the Hungarian patriots; DR.. Daniel H. Burt
nett, old resident of this city Pedro Sanchez,
Spaniard of some note in this vicinity.
All these persons were arrested during the day and
evening, the last arrest being made about o'clock.
The charge alleged against them, in substance, as
set forth in the warrant of arrest read as follows
s. That the above named parties did by themselves,
and in conjunction with ers, the city of New
York. in the southern district of New York, provide
and prepare the means for military expedition or
enterprise to be carried from the said ned States
against the territory domlnions of her Majesty the
Queen of Spain, with whom the said United States
are at peace and particularly against the Island
of Cuba, in the possession of such territory and do
minion of the Queen of Spain aforesaid, contrary to
the compact of the 9th section of the neutrality act
of the Goth April, 1913. -
The parties above named, as arrested were at once
conveyed before the marshal, where they were de-
tanned, and commissioner Nelson sent for to adudi
cate on the matter; but after waiting some two or
three hours the messenger returned saying the COM
missioner could not be found. A messenger then
despatched for commissioner Brigham, who forth
with attended. The charge was then presented be-
fore him by Mr. Everts the district attorney, and the
prisoners held to bail each in the of $780,,
600 to answer the charge at court Dr.. Rogers, who
had been sent for, then entered into the required
bonds for the appearance of Mr. O'Sullivan and his
nephew, VIM. Il. Rogers; and Mr.. Freeman became
surety for Pedro Sanchez. DR.. BURNETT was allow
ed to depart custody of the deputy marshal until
Monday; and Capt. Lewis and Major Schesinger
were committed Jail in default of bail. During the
day the marshal applied for detachment of marines
to take charge of the steamboat Cleopatra. Commo-
dore Salters forthwith granted the request. detach

their charge, lying at the foot of North Moore St.
