he found upon his arrival that poll
tical matters in Cuba were exceed

sailed from Yucatan, consisting of
n large steamer and several sailing
vessels, attempted TO land men and
arms for the Cubans on the south

near the place known as Pinar dol
Rio, bu failed.

Havanain his flag ship, accompanied
by several other vessels, in search
Of this party. No news has rot been
received from him.

political pisoncrs that left n month
siacc for Fernando Pc, put into st.
Johns, Porto Rico, for repairs. The
Captain General of that island de-
tcrmined to send some to the Cana
rics and the remainder to Cadiz.
Both the Cubans and Spaniards
seem exceedingly quiet. There have
been no successes lately on either
'ide. Nothing can be heard of their
movements at present, but I shall
to keep the department
Informed Of all facts and rumors
hat may come to my knowledge by
very opportunity.
This mornings Tribune has the
blowing: Several gentlemen who
PARTICIPATED in the recent conserva-
i've convention in Virginia have
Irrived here, and were at the White
louise to day for the purpose of ur-
ing the President to endorse the
ction of that convention. They
lso wish to get the President to
tx as early a day as possible for
olding their election. The Presi-
ent did not indicate what action he
you'd take in the matter, but said
c would confer with Gen. Candy,
7ho, no doubt, fully understood the
ondition of affairs in the State, and
Tho would advise him of the time
lost acceptable to majority of tho

rawn into the support of any of

10 will allow them to work out
heir political fatu.e in their own
'ay.
