The schooner Dutch Princess which
arrived on Wednesday, states that the re-
port Of the hll Of Matdcaibo, Of the shoot
ing OF Gen. Hernandez, and OF the SUCCESS
of tic rcv0lutionists under Gen. PGlgOri
and his subsequent assassination ina cafe,
which appeared in the various morning
journals yesterday was untrue IN every
particular. The report referred to ap-
pears TO have been furnished by Yene-
Zuclan DartI2an, who was u passenger in
the Princess, and who desired tho publica-
ton of the story to prepare the way for
obtaining credit from merchants here.
The weather is exceedingly cold this
morning. The gallo still continues, and
much damage TO the shipping is apprc-
hended. ,,. rr .y'.fsU gl INV
Il has been announced that the Cuban
steamer Hornet, which cleared from this
port Il few days ago, received u cargo of
arms and supplies, conveyed to her by
two schOoners at appoint outside Of this
port, and she then proceeded on her way
10 Cuba, bcaring an oxpeditionary force
under command Of Generals Jordan and
Ryan. Itis now ascertained on good au-
thOrity that the Hornet received no war
like material in the vicinity Of. the United
States coast, and that neither General
Jordan nor Ryan embarked in herr that
Jordan is still in town, and will not soon
leave, while Ryan has already departed.
The Hornet cleared for Aspinwall, TO
which point she was preceded by
an invoice OF arms, medicine, DC,
intended for Cuba, and shipped in
the Pacific mail steamer. Ryan's name
appeared on the list OF passengers elll-
barked for Nassau, but another man per-
sonated him, whilehe remained for three
days secrcted in New York, awaiting tue
departure OF the Pacific mail steamer, in
which he finally sailed. The Hornet
will carry supplies TO Cuba, and will ia kc
Ryan along ifhe desires to goaftcr reach
ing Aspinwall. The charge that the in
finence Of Gen. Jordan Is eXerted to give
preference to Southerners in the Cuban
service Is Indignantly denied by his
friends, and 1t Is claimed that the utmost
care has been taken to avoid sectional
bias in all arrangements for securing SYM
pathy and material aid for Cnba.
Another failure Is reported OF promi-
nent firm in the liquor trade. The failure
made by this firm arose from competition
by Others in trade who arc defraudtng the
Government of the revenue. AN eminent
German banking firm is said to have been
detected in delrauding the Government
on entries oFsugar ra rln. '
