Fllibussers In Havana - SAINT
Anna PIossinG Again.

Anna PisesinG Again.
We have information from Havana from
which Il would appear that . somewhat for
midAble nest Of Mexican 6libusters had been dis
covered there and unearthed, very much to the
disgust Of the faithful subjects Of Queen lisa
bella, inasmuch ~ several Spanish Officers
lately In the Mexican service were found to be
implicated In the conspiracy. Their plan.
II 10 reported, was connected with Santa
Anna, Marquee, Zuloaga and other Mexican
exiles and refugees, and had for Its objects
Hlibustering descent upon Vera Cruz, and, on
landing, . revolutionary pronunciamienso In
favor Of Ortega, who some time ago claimed
by the Mexican constitution that he and not
Juarez WAS the President Of Mexico. Some OF
the Spanish officers involved in this conspiracy,
Il IL supposed, win be shot. Meantime, the
government Of Juares had been appraised OF
the plot Of Santa Anna, Marques and Company
to run In and get possession Of Vera Cruz, and
Il was expected that Juares would despatch .
commission to Havana to inquire into all the
facts in the matter, and TO urge upon the
Captain General, Lersundi, Q strict enforce
ment of neutrality as between Spain and the
fighting factions Of Mexico.
Old Santa Anna 10 doubtless the head and
front Of this revolutionary enterprise. He has
evidently resolved to wind up his career as
master Of Mexico or to perish In the attempt
He has money and he has bis emissaries In
Mexico and his active confederates In Havana,
OF whom the ablest and most desperate Is
MARQUES. or all the enemies Of Juarez, too,
this man, perhaps, Is the most dangerous.
While holding the city Of Mexico for Macmillan,
against the overwhelming forces Of Diaz,
price was set upon the head Of "the atrocious
traitor Marques" because his capture, after
the execution Of Macmillan, was the special
object Of the liberals. But he managed not
only to get out Of the city, but safely out Of
the country. His little body guard Of horse
men, whose lives depended upon their escape
with him, were faithful; and with some dis
bursements Of tho money In his possession,
drawn by forced contributions from the mer-
chants and clergy Of the capital he got through

man, then, at large Is to be feared by Juarez
but when plotting In conjunction with Santa
Anna, the old ex-dictator must be looked after.
We shall not, therefore, be surprised II soon
we hear that Santa Anna has been politely
requested to cvacuste the island Of Cuba and
establish his headquarters again In ST Thomas
or New York. In any event. considering the
present distracted and utterly demoralized
condition Of the Mexican States and people,
it is not at all improbable that this veteran
revolutionist Santa Anna, may before the end
Of the summer be again on the soil Of Mexico,
and under the banner Of "God and Liberty
heading for his old headquarters In the national
capital. The normal condition Of anarchy and
revolutionary plots and fighting factions has
been restored to Mexico with the republic,
and will continue, at least until we shall have
finished our own work OF reconstruction and
the important business Of our approaching
Presidential election.
