Tho Savannah Morning NstOs contains report
of the cruise Of the Welaka, by which it appears
that, proceeding under orders Of tho General Coy
ernmcnt she visited various points Of the coast Of
Georgia and Florida, and could discover no or
ganisation for the purpose of invading Cuba.
There were some twenty or thirty at Jacksonville
who expressed themselves willing to join the expe
dition. and who expressed some disappointment at
the non-arrival of = steamer which had been ex-
pected to transport those engaged in the expedi-
ton. Information had been received that about
twenty miles above Brunswick there had been dis
covered an abandoned encampmcnt, and scatter
ing bodies of men had been met at various points.
At Darisn body Of men connected with the cxpe-
dition had como down from the interior and gone
South. The report concludes ~ follows:
There can be no doubt that q movement OF
considerable magnitude has been on foot in rela
ton to an expedition destined to Cuba. But it is
also believed that, from causes unknown to the
public, the main body Of the men connected with
Il have dispersed, and that between this city and
Jacksonville, Florida, there II organization at
present. t8
ssBut one thing that at all the points be-
tween this city and jacksonville the people. with
but few exceptions, sympathise with the Cubans,
and are willing and ready TO lend thcm aid, and
assist any expedition which may be fitted out
From all that we could gather IL was not the in
tcntion of the leaders TO actually organize the
petition in this country; but to sail unorganixed TO
