brave aud intelligent officer. We must again express
our Indignation at such orders, emanatlng from
responsible government, by which persons With pass
ports Fl ON the Spanish Consul, were not permitted
to land in Havana, and an American ship refused
entrance into the port To say the least, this con-
duct was wholly uDjustifable from the facts OF the
case, contrary 10 the good faith existing between
friendly nations, in utter violation Of every princ
pie of dignity aud 0ocencv, and an insult to the
American flag that ought not to be tolerated
AS soon as the affair became known in New Or

a large meeting was convened on tho evening Of

The meeting held at Banks Arcade, last
night to express the Indignation of our citizens AZ
the outrageous conduct OK the Havana authorities

siastic which has assembled in our city for many
months. 1t formed a striking contrast With the or
us. There was sincerity and meaning in IT., aad
good stout hatred withai. The feeling exhibited
by the people deep md strong, full of pith aud
passion. " reminded the locker on Of the popular
ideas which preceded and disniGed the last disas-
trous attempt and it evident that no one in the
vast crewd had forgotten the heroism OF the
men who fought and fell in the cause OF Cuba
There was IL spration in the thought, and We con-
fess we scarcely Iamented the fate of our heroes
when we looked upon the eager faces of ths men
who were determined to ayenge them, sooner or

creased. Never did such numoer assemble in New
Orleans before. Y on should count TINT number by
thousands before you would hope to realize Its ex-
tent
Outside the Arcade the street was thronged and
cheer after elmer went up to Heaven. Toe enthusi
asm became almost like patriotic madness, and no
word was more significantly upon the lips Of all than
war There were speakers Iaside, and outside,
and work enough for all. The people did
not require much argument, but the expires.

ways received with shouts of exultaton. The
Cuban flag waved freely from the platform, and
about it tloated in majestic cslmness the we'll be-
loved stars and stripes. Each flagstaff was sur
mounted by pike, ana the gllsten Of it brought
tears of hepe TO many an eye. Some person handed
in bust of Lopez, and as it passed from man to
nan the applause became almost deafen,ng Tne
memory of the brave old man is green The persons
who composed tho meeting were, OF every rank
the boy were ranged side by eide. On the plat
form, gray hairs and wisdom had their posi-
tion--in the body of the hall, the men who under-
stand the fash Of the bowieknfe and the ring OF he
rae, were stItoaed The cIldeat blood was stirred;
the most sluggishs ran as if arrows Of flame were
shooting through it, and even the staid members of
the Press cheered and cheered until they forgot
that taey were to report the proceedings
The meeting WAS called to order, aud Colonel
Christy was called 10 the chair. aud number Of
vice presidents appointed After few remarks
from the chairman, Judge Walker was called for,

that, whilst Spsnaras in this country enjoyed the
utmost liberty Of speech and opinion. our own citi-
zens were be debarrci of even the ordinary priyi
eges Of commerce, for words spoken in our own
country.
John S. Thrasher then made a few remarks, and
was followed by Mr. Eosetius, VINO said the insult
offered to our Aag was the mos. extraordinary, the
most capricious, the most damnsble, that was ever
heard OF. We have preserved our treaty with Spoin
with the utmost fidelity. Every Spanish ship wni.h
entered our port WAS received with welcome, and
shielded by protection. But no = has it regard
ed by that foul mnion Of power-Csnedo' the in8o-
lent pitiful puppy. His conduct could be attributed
only TO imteeihty. The Spanish government. the
owner Of this contemplate rascal, approved OF his
condgct. We have reply for that conduct-a eat.
