worthy citizens, passed from this life on Wed.
nesday Of last week. For long time previous
to his death he WAS under medical treatment,
and had been living few years in the State of

impossible to cross them any other way than on
horseback, or in boat.

Cuba.


On Friday Of last week the members of the
Cuba junta in New York were arrested by orders
from Washington for violating the neutrality
laws of the U. s. The fact caused great excite
ment at Havana, and elected the highest praise
from the "loyal" press in Havana. On the part
of the insurgents, Of course the news created
profound disgust, and they at once declared that
it was the result of intelligence that the Cuban
leaders had peremptorily refused to consider the
question Of prospective annexation to the United
States. The Cuban agents say, however, that
all of the Southern and Central American gov
ernments will soon recognize the belligerent
rights of Cuba.
At Havana, the disagreement between the
Spanish soldiers and the native volunteers has
reached such height, that it is doubtful wheth-
er the new Captain General Roda will be able to
produce unity. Indeed the feeling is so high
that the war threatens to become triangular, a
fact which has immensely raised the hopes of the
patriots
