Of the United States army are said to have
sgreed to get up military force to protect
the landing Of arms in Cuba, for which they
received $4,000 in hand. Two steamers
were chartered, for which $50 900 was paid

readiness to sail third $4,000 followed
suit. The money was paid in good faith,
and was to be returned if, after being ready
for sea, the vessels did not sail in thirty
days. II is alleged that Government was
informed, by the contracting parties, ofthe
whole scheme, and the affair was crushed.

force which will RAISE Mirty-three thousan

II will be understood, that any force, by
any leverage, applied in any way, tina, will
