EXPEDITION FOR CUBA.
A Formidable Fit Out for the Struggling

formidable Fit Out for the STRUGGLING
Patriots.
NEW ORLEANS, April 8, 1869.
An expedition is now fitting out III this city which
Will be OF the most formidable character, and which
the government II 1t desires to maintain its popu-
larty and retain the affections OF the people, had
better not interfere with any further than merely
make show Of good faith towards the Spanish
government.
The progress Of the expedition may be retarded by
official interference but 1t cannot be stopped. There
are men at the head or it and at the back OF it
who never fan, and those who in the secret
here look forward to certain success and bench cal
results.
scuba must be free" Is the watchwOrd of the ex-
pedionists, and they VIII not stop until the com.
mand becomes fact.
That such men as Francis P. Blair and General
Steedman are deep In the movement Is no secret
here and Is common talk.
That the steamship Cuba, one OF the fastest ves-
sells that ever crossed the Gulf Of Mexico has been
secured for initiatDry SERVICE Is equally well known
The Cuba Is now probably in Baltimore, she havin g
lett Havana on the lst inst for that port. She is
comparatively a young vessel. and is well and
strongly built She Is over 1000 tons burden, and
is fully able to convey 200 to 5OO men to any part
of the coast Of the island III whose honor she Is
named.
Those who are contributing time and money to the
enterprise say that they have no fear of government
interference, they had arranged matters to their
satisfaction on that score before they commenced
the Job.
few days Will develop the details and the public
can then talk the matter while the Cuba, with
formidable armament aad well found in men, Is
steamng for the struggling patriots.
