1.-TWO great difficulties present themsel
yes to the filibusters in this projected in
vasion of Cuba First, it is doubtful il the
United States will wink at them. Second
the district of Santiago is reclaimed. and
Manzanilln, where it is probable that a
large body of the invaders would have to

ton of the coast, is at the latest accounts

1.-THE principal officers in command OF
the rebel Cubans are Col. Agueleres and
Gen. Cespelar, the last, who has been a
very wealthy stakeholder, being a very brave
and officer officer. Col. Cabrera, Col.
Diaz, aud several other officers have hoisted
the standard of revolt, and it is impossible
to doubt but that the Instruction will
have overspread all Cuba, up to the gates
OF Havana, in twenty days. Nearly every
newspaper editor in the island of Cuba
sympathises with, or is directly implicated
in the revolt, and Lersundi has been ALMOST
driven crazy with the complicated trvuiles
that have poured down upon his devoted
head.
Recruiting officers will be opened in
different parts of this city Tomorrow
'fhey will not be called recruiting officers,
but will have the name Of Cuban emigration
bureaus. Emigrants will be received, and
their names taken down, and oaths will be
administered to them of strict secrecy, and
to obey the principal emigrants.

the United States authorities. However,
Marshal Murray will have another oppor-
tunity to betray American citizens into
the hands Of the Cuban captain general,
should the movement result disastrously,

saying: "Mr. Sim0nton has been
known to us for years as citizen held
in honorable esteem, against whom
such gross imputations as those of
Butler are essentially incredible. But
ler's attack was so wanton and so
causoless, and his spirit so clearly NAL
evolent, that his charges seemed to us
calculated to injure no one but himself
The Herald's London special says
the conviction prevails that the United
States is being humbugged, and Rever-

zers with the rebellion and Southern
exiles in England.
New York, Nov. 1.-the Evening Post
has a Washington special, which indicates
that the Louisiana Congressman elected
will be kept out oftheir seats, on the ground
that terrorism kept the Radicals from the
polls. The-dispatch says this fact is es-
tablished.
The flibuster movement makes no head
way, but it is certain that some attempt of
the kind is mooted. p
