The Tribune says this city is the head
quarters Of the Cuban patriots. Millions of
dollars have been expended in purchasing
arms, equipments and stores. Twenty thou
sand stands of arms and equipments have
already been forwarded to destinations OF
the Cuban coast. Councils of war are night
ly held in this city. Many prominent ex.
army aud naval officers Of the. volunteer
service have linked their fortunes with the
oubans. On Thursday night a company of
sixty men and officers put off on board a tug
boat, were carried to Sandy Hook and there
embarked on vessel for Cuba. Two weeks
ago large steamer was dispatched from this
port in ballast. She touched near Cape Nay,
and took on board army equipments and
stores, besides men from Philadelphia; Mu.
nitiOns and men are also collecting at Boston
and several southern cities.
1t is now said that the fitting out of seE- |
eral iron -clsds, heretofore supposed 10 have |
reference to Cuban possibilities, has no sig
nifcance the Hud, but is merely plan
of the Navy Department to save them and |
other vessels, and especially their machinery, |
from the decay to which they are at present
exposed from being out of commission.
And, so far as Cuba is concerned, it is stated
that the number of vessels to be employed
in the public service in that direction will /
not probably be more than six or seven
less than heretofore in this squadron, the
number being necessarily limited on account
of the reduction made by Congress in the
navy. i5ai
