THE CUBAN EXPEDITION the many &C
counts respecting this affair, the following, if
authentic, is the most direct and explicit. 1t
was published in the Newark advertiser of the
LIST inst, under date of 18th ult:
It's evident that there are several points of de-
parture along the Gulf Coast New Orleans
and st. Marys, and from the st. Johns river,
Florida There are six steamers, at least and
probably 1000 to 5000 men. Savannah is the
headquarters of operations on the Atlantic side.
| was shown q letter from General Gonzalez q
week ago, dated at Savannah, directing the
movements of men and military stores, but be-
lieyed it might be an attempt to divert public
attention from some other quarter.
1t is now plain that the many evidences of a
movement in the States bordering the Gulf of
Mexico indicate an invasion of Cuba, which will
be attempted before this reaches you. The ex-
petition will undoubtedly sail in the course of
twenty-four or thirty-sx hours A large guam
tity of forage (among which was 800 or 400
bushels of oats) was deposited here the day be-
fore yesterday, and this morning saw put into
the same storehouse, cannon, gun carriages,

This expedition would appear to be much
better appointed, manned, and differed than
the one which landed at Cardenas General
Quitman is said to command, and Lopez to be
the second.
| am told that SIC, 900 worth of jewelry, and
$3.50, 600 in money, was sent to General Lopez
he other day, from Havana and that $50, 900
was contributed by rich planter, who is re-
,arded at home as favorable to the Government. |
The agents here seem to have plenty Of money, |
ind to spend il freely. They have several ways
o raise the wind. One by the issue of bonds, |
o be redeemed if the expedition is success
ul; another by the sale of commissions. A
ieutenancy was offered to brother of General
Shields, it is said at Savannah, for 81, 900,
With promise of $4,000 worth of bonds.
The citizens here have given the enterprise
10 direct encouragement, and no United States
ficer here has the right to interfere. There
S no United States Marshal here. The thing
s looked upon generally as chimerical, and, |
until they saw these warlike preparations and
military preparations, generally discredited it.
The New York Sun says: "A few days more
will bring us important news, which may pro-
baby convince our New York United States |
officers, that what they discovered and con-
luered was not, as we said before, the Cuban
expedition or intended to be such We have
several copies of addresses and bulletins, the
publication of which we must hold over"
