In talking with Gen. Ryan one cannot resist
The impression that he is thoroughly IN earnest
on the subject OF cuban independence. and l.
prepared to believe his professions of devotion
20 the cause entirely sincere. He saws ne has
sacrificed much by has course; has injured ~
health and imported his iIfe, and has thrown
away promising business prospects. Notw,t!l-
standing all this men have been found TO i'm

no friend of Cuba. lie says that whatever or-
ours he VIII relax no effort 20 secure the accom-
rDshment of bis obJect-the Independence OF
Cuba,
That another expedition to Cuba il on foot
may be set down among the probabilities OF the
near future. From certain indications IL may be
safely asserted that something is in the wind
and that other parties beside Gen. Ryan are
concerned in the enterprise. As the great mas
OF American people are sincerely DESTROYS OF
seeing the " Ever Faithful Isle" free from the
CALLING yoke OF Spain, they would probably pre-
Ter 70 have their curiosity unsatisied At pre- sent
rather than see an enterprise in the interest OF
the Cuban patriots fail through indiscreet aud
premature disclosures.
