The Admiral or the station left town the LIST instant
an express train for Batabano there to take steamer
for Santiago de Cuba for the purpose OF having con-
ference with Admrh Mendez Nunez. The orders that
he took with him said be of such important

II is rumored respectable circles that the purpose Of
the visit Of Admiral Mendez Nuncz proceed WASH

daon for peace with the republics Of the Pacific offered
by the United States government Perhaps this rumor
may prove true but the appointment OF Mendez Nuez
at all events, seems strange for such commission
He could present more solid and undering arguments
on the deck Of an ironsde armed with Parrots guns
rather than his words and time uselessly the
