And it is more notable that, without stopping

a number OF citizens of the United States have

in the meditated conspiracy. Such announcement
should be sufficient to authorize OF precsuton

We need not add that in taking text from the Nsw

familiar with what it calls humbug farce that in
like matters IL would be difficult to lind any more trust
worthy voice. especially when there question projects
where the treasury of which quite lately Mr. Bennett
azeaous defender, may be exposed to any risk.
Therefoe the news from Washington published in the
NEW YORK HERALD under so late date must appear to
as good conclusion to the article of the Gacea; for with
out any doubt that entire conspiracy all those
tigues by which the so-caled General Reneau and his
Condants have endeavored perhaps some

But we accord only secondary importance to this last

tanly not forgotten that when in former times the
news Of expeditions against Cuba the most
accredited, American emgrants for California landed
in Havana by hundreds; those intriguers we'll know
that everybody Cuba is acquainted with what happened
with regard TO the famous accounts Of the money
ployed in 1854 and 1855 in the projected expedition OF
Qnitman and they are perfectly aware that nothing

ntrgues Immediately directed against the federal
treasury.
For this shall not take the pains of pro-

Of placing important interests with impunty at the

In the meantime cannot but approve the liberal and
worthy policy exhibited By the Gdce those few words
by which it declares that the government will not allow
itself TO be carried away by trlny denuncatons but
should be provoked by facts IT would not hesitate TO
renew hose exemplary chastsemens of which the walls
