flibnstering project, now completing
in New York, against the Island "a
Cuba. 1t is proposed to take advantage
Of the disorder in the Island conse.

tiJn is to he commanded by Colonel

American volunteer service, General
CHARLES T. HEHNINGsEN, of Nicaragua
notoricty, and a certain General HARRY
HAYS Their forces will consist OF
about six thousand men, abont half OF
whom will sail from New York and
Boston; the remainder will start from
New Orleans. 1t is said that recruiting
Offices were opened in New York yester-
day, that the requisite number Of men
can easily lee raised, and that The sup
plic, money, arms and transportation
have a.gcaly b"ca provided for.
SacA is the Substance If the U'Orld $
accou4lt. Il {, believed by some and
drridcd By others. Nevertheless
there is snllcica, If interest attaching
to the subject to attract general atten-
ton The last expedition against Cuba,
twill be- remembered, was the unfortu-
nate affair commanded by LOPEz and
CmITENnEN Their forces consisted OF
voJ men, Of whom the greater part
never returned, many being killed in
battle, others SkOt after capture, and
others prrlshlns from sickness and pri.

VAS ssot, with a large number Of his
command, and LorEz, after vainly en-
deavorlug to escape, surrendered and
