A Fiiibustering Expedition against
Mexico.
Special to the Herald, dated Brownsville,
Texas, says formidable flibusteripg ex-
pedition is organizing against Mexico.
Leaders of the expedition are to be former
officers of the United States and Confeder-
ate armies.
1t is stated that Rosecrsns assumes su.
preme command. The headquarters of the
movement are to be in New York, with
subordinate departments in Philadelphia.
Chicago, st. Louis, New Orleans, Houston,
and other places Gen. j. Bankhead Ma
gruder, commander at New Oriears. A
portion is playing prominent part in the
grand passage over the Rio Grande into
Mexico, which will occur two months hence.
1t is said Esoobedo, commander of the
Mexicans, and Rosecrans lave come to
an understanding, whereby, tor consider
alton, the former permits a successful
crossing. Fihbusters are to enter the
country in squads as emigrants, and Esco-
bedo withdraws the Mexican troops from
the borders to enable the expedition TO
enter. They will then organize and ad-
vance as military forces. collision then
takes place, and Eseobedo breaks and re-
treats, and utter confusion follows He
then aids the fiilibusters in conquering the
country, and establishing with Rosecrans
or some one else at the head Of the Govern
ment, which will ultimately be turned over
to the United States authorities.
The Cuban bribery Cases. !
The Herald, in an extraordinary Wash
ington correspondence, gives the details of
alleged attempts by Cubans to bribe inhu- /
ential citizens in favor of the recognition
of the belligerency. 1t seems that the :,
contracts were made with we'll known par
ties to operate upon Congress and the
press in favor of Cuban independence.
1t is said that the first attempt made on
the brother of the President was decidedly
squashed. The second was made on
Representatives Shanks and Williams.
Shanks kicked the agent down stairs, and
Williams declined decidedly
Buffers report to day will clearly exhi-
bit an investigation asking power to COM
pei several agents to answer, hoping to
wiring secrets from them. Senor Raist
wss also interviewed, and states that Denis
positively never made any contract with
agents for influencing Cuban sympathy in
Congress. When Gen. Pickett met Lelnus
he made proposals to furnish arms from
Kentucky In exchange for Cuban bonds
The contract, however, was never com
pleted The contract being the bargain
should hold if the belligerents' rights were
granted. He also gave reporter the par
ticulars of various attempts of lobbyists to
exact money, and newspapers for exeI cising
influence upon Congress.
The Cuban Question.
&he W0rlFSspecial says: The majority
and minority reports of the House Com
nittee on Foreign Affairs on the Cuban
question will be made public for the use
Of the House today. The committee have
already decided to report a resolution in
favor of impartial neutrality on the part Of
the Government between Spain and Cuba,
thus giving the latter the same privileges
now accorded to Spain. An additional
will probably be ordered calling
on both parties to wage war upon the basis
by all civilized nations, and
against the execution of prison
ers Of war.
