RUMORS ABOUT CUBA.

IRON THE NEW ORLEANS PIcAYuNB OF DECEMBER 26.
The report of expedition, prepared in this city,
for invasion Of Cuba, is travelling to and fro the
telegraphc wires with extraordinary rapidity. On the
18th it came from Washington New Orleans in sin
gle flash, and appeared in our evening paper the
day. follows:
BALTIMORE 15It reported that advises been
received at Washington that powerful expedition 1900
strong is now fitting out and will be ready to sail from New
Orleans for Cuba in the middle of February.
The day after, the 18th, the Washington Union
published despatch from this city, which must have
crossed the other on the way:
New ORLEANS Dec l3There rumors here of the 1T
ting expedition Of 1000 against Cuba,
that will be ready the middle Of February 1t is said
that Government has been apprEed of the movement
Reports, therefore, in circulation at Washington
and New Orleans at the tme and are sent back
wards and forwards with the prefix, said, and il is
reported The identity Of expression gives ground for
conjecture that one is the mere echo of the other
The Washington correspondent of the New York Tri-
bune quite minute in the information which he furnish
from Washington under date of the 4th about the
same time that the telegraph receiving the
story from both ends
"a" havo trustworthy information from New Orleans to the
effect hata powerful fbuser expedition preparing against
Cuba and will sail before middle of February.
1t is intended that the entire force shall consist

ensmen proceeding with every effort keep the mat

Cuba will leave these heroes in urch they did
Of Lopez but will rise to support them and achieve their
emancipation"
This is stirring item Of news here. We have been
complaining that from low and the backwardness
of arrivals, in consequence Of the false rumors abroad
about the cholera, have had fewer than the usual
number of strangers here at this The city, in
fact, when this written, quite thn the hotels
slowly filing up, and the streets exhibiting but few new
faces 1t is startling TO hear that there thou

Now and then meet ardent fbustero of 1851,
but he shakes his head and hrugs his shoulders when
you speak to him Of Creole old invading force and

thing for itself awhile The interest in Cuban affairs
and the Of the importance to the United States Of
the events ransacting in Cuba, undoubtedly great

HYRO ELECTRIC V0LTRlC CHAINS,
Producing instant relief from the most
acute pain, and permanently. cu-
ring all Neuraigic Diseases
gia of the Face, Deafness, Blindness, St. vitus
Dance. palpitatons of the Heart. periodical
Headache pains in the Stomache, In
digestion Dyspepsia, Urtine pains.
THESE CHAINS were first introduced in the
L city Of New York, less than year since, and
after being subjected to the most thorough trial
in every hospital in the city, by Drs. VALENTINE
Mott, Post, Carnochan and Van Buren,, IL was dis.
covered that they possess strange and wonderful
power in the relief and cure ofthe above class Of
diseases, and they at once recommended, through
the papers of the CITY, their general use and their
sale and the success that has attended their use
is MnpdTdleLed.
Previous to their introduction into this country
they were used in every hospital in Europe, and
are secured by patents In France, Germany, Aus.
tria, Prussia and England and also in the United
States. 80,
The principles upon which it is claimed that TIT
Chains produce their marvellous cures, are, first
that all NERVOUS DISEASES are attended and pro.
duced by deficient supply of nervous fluid, and
an agent that resembles closely electricity, or
electric magnetism; and second-that the electric
magnetic chains, by being worn over and upon
the part and organ diseased, furnish to the
hausted nervous system,by its powerful stimula.
ting effects the nervous full which is required to
produce healthy action through the entire sys.
TEN. Ne disgusting nostrum is allowed to be taken
while using the Chains, but rigid observance Of
the general laws Of health are required Brisk
Friction upon the part deceased, adds much to
the effect of the chains, by increasing their mag
netic power.
1000 Dollars
will be given to any person who will produce so
many well authenticated certifcdtes Of cure, both
from intelligent patencs and scientific physicians,
as have been affected by the use Of Pulvermach's
ELECTRIC CHAINS. They never fail to perform what
they are advertised to do, and no person has ever
been dissatisfied who has given them trial.
h, Female Diseases,
more than one hundred permanent cures Of pro-
dDs,Is ,tri have been effected within the last year
by the use Of these chains BY applying one end
Of the chaiE over the region Of the abdomen and
the other upon the spine just above the hips, the
usual severe symptoms incident to that disease are
at once removed.
Mode of Use.
The chain should be moistened before use with
common vinegar, and then one end Of the chain
should be applied directly to the seat Of the pain
or disease, and obtain a pamphlet (gratis.) 1t
will explain their mode ofuse to all who may de-
sire it, Physicians respectfully invited to call
and investigate their merits.
