THE CUBAN JUNTA AND ITS AFFAIRSs
If rumors which reach as frsm New Orleans b

the Cuban Junta have cot most outragsousy swinded
in their late efforts to aid their brethren In Cuba ia e
fecting revolution. Our readers generally aware
that the Junta Is the legitimate organ Of the patriotic
ssston Of their affairs in the United States and through
its agency the people OF Cubs have sought to procure the
arms necessary for revolutionary struggle.
Tho Junta went energetcsly to work, according to
tho plans arasgsd In Cuba in preparing for the grand
crisis which they believed to BE- a hand. It
