New ORLEANS, Dec. %, 1885,
An attempt will be made 10 revolutonize Cuba.
The revolutionary party in Cuba is thoroughly organized
with abundance of men and means 10 accomplish the
undertaking. They only await the signal to rise and
declare their independence This will be done. Whether
they will maintain is another question, and one
IN which the Southern people will not be disinterested
spectators.
The plans of the revoluiionists deeply and
surely laid, and the who lead on and control
the movement have the entire confidence Of more
than three ourths of people of Cuba has been
certaned by careful canvass through the island by
dcputed for that purpose. e..
There is not shadow of doubt but that large mlo-
riy of the people OF Cuba desire 10 be freed from the
despotsm of Spain, and viii come up manfuy and fight
for their Independence.
This movement is not TO brighten Spain into
selling the island to the United States. The leading
of Cuba do not desire that They revolt at the idea of
being sold as slaves, and sold for SO much money,
and would fight for the continuance of Spanish rule
rather than submit TO such humiliation, they
consider It, These tho sentiments of prominent Cuban
gntlemen now in our city, and recently arrived from
havana in their own vessel.
large number of Americans already in Cuba,
thoroughly organized and provided with proper means
for rendering material aid to the revoutOnsts Some OF
these men have been for long time residents OF the
island Others have been ENGRAVING thlther quietly for
months past WITH II presumed, full knowledge OF

A time has been set for the execution Of this
put e o 'e nee. o @
project The Spanish government have some inkling Of
the contemplated movement, and their fleet is sent
TO watch Cuba rather than Tor the Ostensbe purpose of
getting redress from Mexico.
Leading men in England fully advised Of the move

member OF the English Parliament visited this city a
short time snce arriving here with Senator Douglas He
hardly noticed in the shadow Of Douglas. He (the
P) came here for the express purpose of informing
himself upon this movement 10 reyolntonze the island Of
Cuba, that he might satisfy himself and his government,
necessary as to the prospect OF success He stopped
here few days passed quietly 10 Cuba, and there
sought and found the information he desired. Mr. Douglas
left here III the same steamer and the fact
of Mr.. Douglas changing his purpose and stoApng
at Havana has significance that more than
member of Congress perfectly understands. The
vOlutionsts do not fear the Intervention Of England hut
they less confident of the French Emperor who has

gains her Independence and proclaims republic, " he
will sink his last ship rather than fail of securing nu

II is asgnican fact 10 those who understand the
mens contemplation, that the Spanish fleet does

by portion Of the French fleet, and is fact that
but two Spanish men of nave passed inside Of
the Moro al Inc renamed there together
since they ordered TO rendezvous there.
Thus much upon the authority Of gentlemen from Cuba

It hardly necessary to say that If the movement be
successful republic will be declared modelled after that

already drawn up, and is similar to own. Their in
dependence declared with force Of ten thousand to
maintain IT, the next step will be to apply for admission
into our Union, and our government, having sked 10
gotate for the purchase of the island from Spain, it
surely will fail, will be able TO make much better bar
gain with the republic of Cuba by merely paying the
pcnses of the revolution. The island will be divided into
two States with thirteen representatives and four Sena
tors, some Of whom have already been named.
The imne date future Of Cuba is ''pregnant with
ing events" and have cast truthful ''shadow be-
fore"
You will be kept advised of all reliable information in
regard 10 the movement, far (as Congress says
consistent with the interests OF the embryo republic
