New York, May 2O.-Important ar
rangements are afoot relative to the de-
parture of the steamer Upton.u she
sailed with 300 men and provisions Tor
half the number. 1t is probable that
she is now within days sail from here
1t is reported that the Spanish Minister
has placed Spanish man-of-war at the
disposal of celebrated detective who
confidently affirms that he will cap
ture the Upton within three days. The
Spanish man-of-war is now off Cape
Henry. and can be warned instantly OF
the appearance of the Upton on any
part of the coast. Experienced detect
ives in the employ of the Cuban Junta
will probably contrive to outwlt the
Spanish agent. The Tribune \denies
that Col. DeKay commands the military
part of the expedition, and says he is in
the city.
The Standard leader to-day charges
the late Republican defeat upon Horace
Greeley. 1t says that he prefers to bark
rather than fight, and was the chief cause
of the restoration of Tammany to power
by heading the first meeting of the young
Democracy after the close OF the war.
The World says that some time since
Gen. Hancock wrote to Gen. Sherman,
inquiring why he was not promoted to
the position vacated by the death OF Gen.
Thomas, which belonged to him in the
order of precedence. The letter was
shown to the President, who dictated the
substance of the reply Shortly after
ward Gen. Hancock received from Lieut..
Gen. Sherman curt answer in the fol-
lowing terms: 81 am requested by the
President to inform you there is nothing
in your personal relation to General
Grant or official relation to his adj
ministration that could justify your pro-
motion now, or need you expect it here
after"
A special dispatch to the Standard
dated Havana, May 10, says that great
Indignation is felt at the brutal manner
in which General Goicouria was exc
cuted and it is not confined to the
friends of the freedom of Cuba alone,
but even to the Spanish volunteers, who
express dissatisfaction at the atrocities
committed three days since. Three
companies of Spanish troops were seat
to capture force of rebels in the inte-
rior, twenty-four miles from Santa Els
perto. They were met by the rebels and
defeated, several Spaniards being killed.

The bombs that Il is claimed were TO
have been lately used in the attempt TO
assassinate the Emperor Napoleon are
thus described:
ITO use homely comparison, they
are like mullins or teacakes, with de-
uression or hollow in the center OF each
side. and the points sticking out round
the circumference to which the handle
also is fixed. A vertical section shows
nearly the form of dumb bell, with the
riyiting bolt, which holds together the
two halves, passing through the center.
The cast iron of which they are made is
of excellent quality 1t had been thrice
melted. and upon this is based q suppo-
sition that the clandestine manufacturers
had made use of old cast-iron IN prefer
ence TO pig iron, Of which the purchase
might have attracted notice or have led
n their being traced. The molds must
have been the work Of very skiiliul
hand, supplied with excellent tools.
The eroorfes for the passage of the pegs
or nails are also very we'll wrought. In
short, the conspiFators seem TO nave 9ad
at their dizp0salan expert iron founder,
A good mold maker, and somebody skill
full in the adjustment OF such engines,
The papers found show that a chemist
was engaged in the plot. But the smith 8
work is bad; the bolts are such as could
be bourht at any shop, hut they are
badly inserted; the nails common, and
BROKEN with hammer; the handle with
which tbe shell was to be thrown, is i'll
made, and too small to admit more than
three fingers Of any ordinary mans hand
