The IHtslIigeneer, commenting on the recent
proclamation Of the Captain General Of Cuba,
,aising the blockade of that Island, says:
"Weagrse with our contemporary, the Union,
In thinking |. probable that it was the judicious
course pursued by our own Government which
led TO this step Of the Captain General. That
course relieved General Concha from all an.
prehsnsion- for the present at least, Of any I'll
houstering invasion. The denouncing BY the
President, Ia the first place, of all such ille-
sal enterprises, and, In the second place, the
Prs'sncs In the Cuban waters of a feet of Amer.
loan cruisers, rendering the evasion and sue
cess OF any such expedition from our shores
next 10 impossible, have had the effect, no
doubt, to give feeling Of security to the Gu.
ban authorities, and enable them to dispense
With he measures of precaution which had
