A CUBAN MANIFESTO.
An Extraordinary Letter from Boston-Its In
structions to Abolish the Diplomatic and Gen.
eral Cuban Agencies in this Country
Mr.. Mayorga, the General Agent,
Asserts that It Is Bogus.

For several weeks past the Cuban residents In
this city have been discussing the pro and con of
q reported official communication received from
Boston, through the post office, suppressing the
General and Diplomatic Cuban Agencies in this
country. few Cubans look upon the note in
question as authentic, but the majority refuse to
give it credence and maintain that 1t IS Spanish
forgery, sent TO the Cubans to try and cause d.
vision among them and fOment discOrd. The COM
municati0n in question Is dated the 30th OF Novem-
Der, 1872; but communication recently received
from the sgner OF the said communication, viz.
the Secretary OF State and War, dated month
later, makes no alusion to the note in question,
nor do letters OF the same date from promi.
nent members OF the Cuban Congress in
any way make alluslon to the matter.
Mr.. Jose Maria Mayorga. the well known Cuban
patriot, now in charge Of the General Agency, re.
munication as will be found IN the translation of
his advices to the Cubans in the United States,
herewith appended. Within few weeks at fur
thermOst, either by the hands Of the HERAID's
Commissioners to Cuba, Mr.. James O'Kely, or by
direct communication from the patriot headquar-
ters news will be received, in all probability as to
the authenticity OF the document In question. The
following is Mr.. MayOrga's address to the Cubans
resident In the United states on the subject
