marks on East Tennessee, says: "Our sol

Venezuela TO Recognize Cuban IN
dependence

Venezuela TO Recognize Cuban In
dependence
New York, Dec. Slate Marscaibo
sdvices bring intelligence of treaty ne
gOtiated between the Cuban Gen. Quesa-
da and the Venezuelan leader, Guzmaun.
Quesadais to blockade MaracaibO with ten
steamers. Venezuela in turn will recog-
nize Cuba, and provide her with arms.
ApropOs of all this, it may be said that
the Spanish officials in this country an
ticipate the early departure of another
expedition. Gen. Ryan is nov in Nassau.
PrIm Ready to be Bought.
1t is again rumored that agents of Prim
are willing to negotiate with the members
of the Cuban Junta.
A New Plan Suggested.
A new plan for the benefit of Cuba
has been recently conceived, which is re-
garded by many as brilliant project. lis
principal features have been drawn by
Gen. Jordan and approved by Albania,
President of the Cuban Juuta, and the
U. S. principal members. The main
point of the scheme is the suggestion of
an unarmed immigI alton of fifteen hun
bred Americans to Cuba, for the purpose
of settlement. On landing they are to be
permitted TO settle the Cuban troubles
The arms areto be sent in separate vessels
II is learned, however, that prominent
members of the Senate are shaking their
heads saying, the neutrality law of 1878,
fUrbds any person within our limits to
begin or set on foot, or provide or pre-
pare the means for any military expedi-
ton or enterprise whatever, against Span
ish rule in Cuba.
The intent of Gen. Jordan, they say,
clearly, is to begin here and place in Gu
ba military force armed and equipped,
and that those who furnish ships or trans
portation, or provide means for it, and
emigrants, too, it is said, really enter
themselves 10 60 to Cuba with intent to
serve the iusurrectioDists, ard that JOr-
dams scheme is an advice that persons
here assist the emigrants 20 60 to the is
land, 50 that they can embark in mill
tary enterprise.
