bio indications Of coming storm. Tho Cleopatra,
which arrived in morning. brought many letters for
those having friends tho island; and the details OF
the recent slaughter and OF the growing tyranny OF the
Casino Espao only served TO deepen ther detestation
Of the Spanish people.

was stated that arrests Were daily being
made by the Governor Of persons suspected of being
IN sympathy with the movement for Independence

support Of the United States they felt that they could
control the Government They suffering most from
lack OF arms and officers to lead them they said to
be brave bur they lack discipline. The "Conchs" a
lower class OF Spanards reported to have poor

times to assassnate one for SIC 50.
