THE CUBANs AND THE FENIANs.
A sIory having been started that the two
reoinents Of Feniaus enlisted IN this city we're
about to embrace the Cuban cause, there has
bean an excited pew-wow at the Fenian head
quarters, corner Forty-second-street aud
Broadway, the various newspapers that print
mitigated terms by those who continue to
swear to the green above the red. Ihe TACT,
however, is that negotiations are ACTUALLY pend
ing between Cuban officers and the Fenian ofti-
GERS in regard to some eight hundred and nifty
men now enI oiled in Fenian regiments, ABOUT
their transfer to Cuban territory since no Fe-
nian work Of promise presents itself 1or thelr

General Lesca appeared at Neuvitas, very un-

march. although large bodies of insurgents
were posted I'm the high ground at some dis
tance from the road. Numbers of well-con-
structed trenches, breastwol ks, bitches, &C.,
were visible.
The 1000 men concentrated at Neuvitas,
among them 1900 Catal In volunteers, recently

A Washington letter says
Cubaus here do not place much reliance in
Admiral Hoff's dispatches from Cuba, aud they
profess to be in possession OF information
which shows q different condition vi things
from that indicated by the dispatches referred

strong provisional government, and say they
