From TIE o Piesysns, l5a
From private foprces we have in,euigence OF
very ;nnortan, character from the Island OF Cubs
Ts ns,u,s Indeed il SC IN ~ in the frs, Dstsncs to

credulity Careful inquiries, however convince us
that the information IL subst.ntlsly correc'. II IS

room for any longer 70 entertain the slightest doubt
OF that fact The gentlemen sho furnished with
il came pssseDgers on the Philadelphia and are edu-
Gated, intellg ent and relisble citizens.
The infellger ce is that decree issued at Msdrd-
that is b. the Queen OF Sp sin aud her Government
bas reached Cuba and been published there 10 which
il is ordered that 10 the event Of fbuster exped-
ton landing, or attempting 70 land IN Cabs al AMER

under aIrest!
So monstrous a proceeding az this our readers will
doubtless, ourselves did, doubt IN at even span
ish presumption would enter on. We have the To-
formation however crcu nstsntislly that we think
they cannot refuse to credit H. when we lay before
them the particulars.
formants during their visit TO Havana naturally paid
FREQUENT visits to our Acting Consul COL Robertson.
In the frat instance he cheerfuly assured them that
there danger whatever for them, IT they con-
quoted themselves with ordinary discretion while on
the island. On their going TO visit him, however, on
the morning of the l0o inst they found him consid-
cradle spirited and mentioning that they con-
tempsfed eaving in the Philadelphia, he sal he was
very clad of IT, and wished that every American
would do So they were no longer safe on the Island,
and as his reason he translated the decree to thsn
in the terms above given informing them that he mad
just had it officially sent to him.
From The NJ o Tue Delta 15h.
Yesterday Secretary Marcy tent telegraphic dis
patch from Washington to this city, making Inquiries
ss TO whether Estrampes who was recently gsrrotsd
at Havana was really citizen Of the United Ststes
lot search OF the records of the Fourth District
Court shows that Francois tFrsDclsco) Fslran pea
native OF Cuba, arrived in NewOreans in 1914 lis
then minor and upder the age OF 10 years, aud
the proper steps being taken he acquired the rights
Of citizenship when be became OF age. These f.css
were Immediately transmitted to Washington by tee
graph, and certified copy from tia minutes Of tbs
Court, with the names Of the Witnesses &c, was a.
once prepared and sent TO the Secretary of State
by mail.
The cause for these proceedings was good deal
specuateo upon by those who happened to get au
iDkliDg Of the facts and the knowing seemed to
ditcern "a speck of war in the DIN distance At
any rate " we shsjl what We shall zee, for some
thing is evidently in the wind.
BY reference to the letter OF our Havana c0rre-
spoDdtnt o,ted Havana, April g. and which will be
fOnnd in another portion of this mornings issue, the
following passage msy be found:
soviseo, upon suthcrity that esteem good that
Gen Copchs has prepa ed testimony to sbos thar
Fabosco who executed under the sentence OF
the Court bsrs citizen Of the United States and
that biz representing, were forget 4 procured BY
fraudulent representation" &c
II will therefore, be perceived that the Captain
General is already airing himself with rebuning
testimony.
