AN EXPEDITION FOR CUBA.


Preparations in New Orlcnns-The Command
Declined by Harry Hnys-Generai Steedman
tho Probable Leader-Attitude Of the Gov.
ernment.
NEW ORLEANS, April ls, 1869.
Preparations are actively on foot in this vicinity
for formidable and well organized expedition to
aid the insurgent Cubans and 1t will no doubt be OF
q serious character. Men being engaged rapidly
and sworn to secrecy, and number of brass
howitzers have recently been purchased here and
sent to some unknown destination.
There seems to be no lack Of money, but there is
30 much blowing at street corners and SO much
publicity and gasconade that the matter may drop
through from pure mismanagement.
The government officers either cannot or will not
take any effective steps to stop the movement, and
no definite instructions can be obtained from Wash
ington regarding 1t.
It Is stated that the command was rendered to
Harry Hays an ex.Confederate major general, who
through his personal popularity among his old
soldiers and his knowledge Of Spanish warfare could
collect around him at days notice two or three
thousand veterans. Notwithstanding that very con-
siderable pecuniary inducements have been held out
TO him, he declines the ground that lie Is too old
and has TOO good law practice to give it up.
General Steedman remains the probable leader.
He brave but wanting in prudence discretion and
self-command. and If he gets or will make either
striking success or most complete and disastrous
failure.
Collector Casey, who is a brother-in-law of the
President says openly that he does not want to hear
or know anything about expeditions Of any kind,
and District Attorney Morgan states that his appeals
to Washington for definite instructions answered
only with vague generalities. Marshal Heron. who
has recently returned from washington, hints that
he shall keep up appearances, but do little.

And this amount invested in savings
