be startled by the revelations Of the strength
and proportions of the movement, and the
actual terrible work Of war which the Cuban
exiles have been quietly, but effectively, con-
Quoting. Millions Of dollars have been sub
scribcd and expended in purchasing arms,
equipments and stores. Al least 10000
stand Of arms and equipments have
already been forwarded to safe destinations
on the Cuban coast, and councils OF war
are nightly ,hel6. Many prominent ex-
army and naval officers of the volunteer SER
vice have linked their fortunes with the Gu

as check to keep the hot-blooded Cuban pa
triots within discreet bounds until the proper
moment shall arrive when all their force and
their long cherished designs. A considerable
number Of volunteers have been deemed sufi-
GENTLY skilled to be sent to the seat OF war;
and late on Thursday night last company Of
sixty men and their officers were put on board
o tugboats carried to point near Sandy Hook,
and there embarked on board a sailing vessel
for Cuba. This is not q sensation item, but q

patched in ballast. She touched at point
near Cape May, and there took on board arms,
