No developments OF any material Importance in
regard to the affairs OF the Cubans in this city were
made during yesterday; in fact, serene quiet
seemed to have settled down on Cubans and United
States authorities alike. At the various resorts or
the nlibusters the usual motley crowds OF men
Iounged against doorways on stair bansters ana IN
armchars tipped back against the walls, and visitor

had stumbled into an intelligence Office or labor
exchange. Still more would he be Impressed
with tins idea II he happened to question
any Of the men, as "Montana' seems 10
be their watcnword, the acme Of their
future aspirations, and they indeed express some
anxiety to know when they will be shipped for the
great Territory, and talk as though they feared
other men might at this moment be digging up the
golden nuggets which these should be unearthing.
No one Of course believes them: and 1t is manifest

Marshal Barlow is exceedingly incredulous as to
the statements that Ryan has left this city. and still
cherishes some lingering hope that the Colonel may
be Overhauled and the reputation OF the MarshaPs
office be freed from the suspicious which attach 10
the minds OF many persons to the escape or Ryan.
Among the men connected with the movement there
is certainly unanimous acquiescence in the
report that Colonel Ryan Is IN Philadelphia,
and numbers OF the officials of the Junta express the
same belief OF course there are at least few Of the
officials who are precisely posted as TO his where
abouts and though no one expects them to yet
make their knowledge public 1t IS generally con.
ceded that the Philadelphia explanation of his abb
sence leaks out from those officials. AT least one
thing may be said, which Is that If Colonel Ryan IS
in New York his light must be hidden under some
thing not much larger than bushel for though eX-

In Jersey city last night the Spanish agents were
