The Scousdrel fouDg.
Concerning the reported interview be-
tween the Captain General of Cuba and
john w. Young, now in Jail at Chicago,
awaiting trial for forging postottce money
orders. it is known here in official quarters
that instead OF the Captain General pro-
posing TO Young to act as decoy in bring
ing an expedition to Cnta for the
purp0se OF being captured, such a
proposition was made by Young him
self to the Captain General. He went |
to Havana for that purpose, after having |
e aimed the confidence of the Cuban Junta |
IN New York. The Captain General. hav-
ing no confidence in him, gave hira a certain |
time in which to leave the island, of which |
opportunity he promptly availed himself. |
Young was one of the shrewdest operators |
during the war with the bounty jumping
frauds. He also committed great forgeries |
