New YORK, December S.-Late Mara
caibo advices bring the intelligence OF a
treaty negotiated between the Cuban
General Quesada and the Venezuelan
leader Guzman. Quesada is to block
ade Maracaibo with ten steamers and
will in return recognize Cuba and
provide her with arms and supplies.
Apropose of all this it may be said that
the Spanish officers in this country an
ticipate the early departure of another
expedition. General Ryan Is now ID
Nassau. 1t is again rumored that the
agents OF Prim are willing to negotiate
with the members of the Cuban Junta
A new pean for the benefit Of Cuba has
been recently conceived, which is regard
ed by many as brilliant project: Its
nrinciual feautures have been drawn
by General Jordan and approved by
Aldma, President Of the Cuban Junta,
and its principal members. The main
point of the scheme is the suggestion OF
the unarmed immigration Of 1900
Americans to Cuba for the purpose OF
settlement. On landing they are to be
permitted to settle the Cuban troubles.
Arms are to be sent in separate vessels,
II is learned, however, that prominent
! members of the Senate are shaking
their heads and say the neutrality
