fcrs to the former invasion Of Cuba; re-
marks that Cubans and other residents in
the United States have abused again the
hospitality of that country by making it
the scene of another military expedition
against the possession of her Catholic
Majesty, in which they were aided and
joined by citizens Of the U. s. He, upon
receiving the intelligence Of theexpedition,
lost ne time in issuing such instructions
to officers as seemed called for by the oc-

in violation of laws Of the United States.
