WHAT TIE JUHTA DID not DO.
But what did Lemus succeed in dong! lie ana 'ne
Junta continues Castillo succeeded in sending 70 Cupa
400 armed men, dozen cannons and some 6OOO or 1900
guns That is to say, they authorized tho sending OF
these men, munitions and supplies, hut other persons
organized and paid the expenses Of these expeditions
He then speaks what the Juna did not do Ihey ana
not collect money sufficient for the exgencies OF the
war did not embrace opportunities that were offered 10
borrow large sums did not the necessary steps for
,loa mist Sol nf no
ships which they might have dOnei dlu h0t senu ,ns
arms, munitions and material OF war 70 ln lslau h
were nor send cruisers to destroy spanish
IN three different occasions the Junta could have
raised S6OOOOOO and the parties oGering 10 lcnu
were Intimately connected with certain officials
whose influence would have been potent In the matter on
Inducing recognition of bcigrent rights by the United
States Government. These parties were Tor sPeGua
ton and had proposed Tor so0O0 Oh pols TO aeI'ta
that end initiated and brought before te Juat lor
action nv Ruiz but that body did not accept the 0ier
In February 1862 Ruiz likewise proposed to the Jnta
n project already begun with the Peruvian Minister Inc
latter offered hand the monitors hat were ten
about to sail Peru the unta to be paid for when
the independence of Cuba should have been achieved
The Peruvian Minister backed in his proposition by
other south American Ministers yet the Junta thought
thew would act more securely by following out their
monitor which to-day, instead Of reing in the waters
of the Pacific ought 10 De in Cuba, dfmolslng te LOT
tresses the Spaniards and causing the gtes TO nee
the Island They would have given TO the insurgents
Nuevitas and Santiago de Cuba, as ports by which al
munitions Of might have entered and from Whlch
the productions Of the soil might have been shipped
Castillo satirically excuses the Juta Tor not having
large quantities OF arms ana munitions OF war;
Tor the reason that they had large amounts OF
money. " Repeatedly however, American spectators
OLE red 10 place in Cuba any quantity or arms anu llu
ton of war upOn the condition that they should have
obtained receipt tor their delivery signed by some
proper officer OF the insurgents in Cuba that hey should 10
maid for them i'm this country in double their value,
hut at rate somewhat higher than the ordinary com
uercial value. The gentlemen OF the Junta, with he
audabe intention essenng the expense and TO enjoy,
m the same me satisfaction of themselves perform
ing all that was done proposed invariably To manipulate
the business and direct all expeditions themselves or by
their agcnt-."
Toese are the reasons Why the Western Department has
not the guns and munitions which that region mas long
clamOrcd for.
Again. an American general proposed TO Ruiz 10 SEND
ont two cxped tons which would have been sufficient TO
mt 10000 armed in the field. But this proposition
was refused by the Juna. Castillo sfys that so lar
from the unt being of service to the Of Cuba 1t
las preudiccd IL exceedingly There are many other
matters detailed i'm this remarkable letter but enough
has already given to show that If the Cuban Repub
lie Is TO receive any practical aid from it friends IN
America ito Juua IN this city must be wholly reOrgan
