leave no doubt that Hon Charles J. Folger
is one Of two Repu blicans elected Justices of

is probably Charles Andrews, Mayor of Syra.
cuse, but it may be Hon. Charles Mason of
Madison county.
The Spanish spies claim to have known
for some time that the Cuban war vessel,
George b. Upton, was intended for the Gu
ban service, yet SO nicely was everything
managed, that the Spanish minister could
do nothing to prevent her sailing. Her
officers have been selected with great care,
and are men who have seen service. They
are Commander Thomas l.. Dorain First
Lieutenant and Executive officer, Robert
Sommers; Second Lieutenant, Henry S.
Cooke; Mates; A. n. Mason, Antonio Memes,
Winthrop Phillips, Henry P. Lane; Pay
master, Jose Ponce de Leon: Chief Engi.
neer, George Davis; First Assistant En-
glneer, Joaquin Aquar; Second Assistant
Engineer, Edward ForsllIs. There is on
board the Upton, 9 military corps, commsn-
ded by Eugene Vslienta, late Of General
Goicuria's staff. and under him are Colonels
Drake and Dekay, and Captains Harrison
and Westermsn. The Upton, assisted by
tender, will in due time land in Cuba a large
quantity of war material, including artillery.
There are plenty of men on the island who
viii join the ranks Of the patriotic army es
soon as they are armed. This is really the
most formidable expedition ever sent out to
aid Cuba.

voices have been engaged for the occasion.
