subsequently another general order was issued
detailing he order OF debarkatOn. IL provides that
the exploring corps, under Captain Puryear. shall
take the advance, followed by company OF artillery,
and last, the infantry to cover the landing OF the
munitions OF war. The point OF contemplated land
ing was named in this order: but as there is no
certainty mat the debarkation has been enected II
Is lnudlcious 10 mention It mere.
In this connection 1t is proper 10 state that the cor
respOndeuce purporting TO come from Nassau under
date OF the 18th, published In morning two cent
paper, Is entirely Unreliable The writer under date
landed her forces near Puente de Cartas This Is
simply absurd IN view of the fact that the Lillian
was not eased untl that day. The graphic account
OF the cruise OF The steamer Feazer is also the imagery
of fertile brain, as she did not participate IN
the expedition, and is likely stiii lying at
that the Lillian was chased by the United
States steamer Lone star and the Spanish man-of
war thufucho Is equally false as not vessel OF
KIND was slgnted during the entire cruise With the
exception OF the British brig Amelia
IL Is believed that the Lillian by this time has
only dinlculty 10 be encountered was lack OF fuel,
but II WAS the intention OF tue general to proceed 10
some oi the Keys, aite- taking the men from Rag
Key and cut Il sutiGlency OF wood TO enable her to
proceed, Should the Nassau authorities refuse to coal
her.
1t is known that Colonel CrstO is somewhere in
the city; but having become heartily disguised, lie
