waiting for Spear. Gen. Gleason is now
speaking to the Fenians, endeavoring to mus
ter to retake guns, provisions and ammunition

with him, but he says he will have arms, &c.
at any risk, even if he has to come into con-
tact with the U. S. troops The latter are
patrolhng the streets in sufficient force to
prevent any movement by the Fenians unless
the latter entirely conceal their plans

rumors that there viii be a movement soon
There Is a great lack of provisions, though an
abundance Of arms. The men seem in earn

stationed Considerable indignatian was felt
towards the United States Government"
