expedition for descent upon Cuba, aud
that he is doing II with the knowledge and

Of the most prominent aud wralthiest bu.i
ness men have INDUCED it, When Lopez
undertook his expedition stock company,
in aid OF the enterprises was organized, OF
which very many such men were members aud
subscribed liberally. They constituted the
Junta, or council, wherein were debated and
decid d all N tiers pertaining, not alone to
the conduct OF the campaign, but to the
subsequent policy to be- adopted, provided
the expedition was successful. The pxpedi-
tionary force was recruited and organiE d
under the direction aud control Of this Coun
cil. The officers were appointed by it, and
it. was in all respects invested with supreme
authority. These parties doubtless expect.
I'd to reap . rich reward a the event Of sue
cess. They you d Rave claimed all The Of
fees OF trust and emoIulnent' in the new,
recoRst ucted Cuba, and it is iair to presume
that they anticipated a profitable return in

AID was al rdrd to other expeditions, which
have been projected. The members Of the
Lop' ,Tunta would not, perhaps, feel induce.
Inents so potent TO exert themselves in be.
half Of Cuban independence and annexation

slavery. would strip the scheme Of the fea.
tures which formerly recommended it most
strongly to them. Nor have they now SO
mu b spare cash for tempting, but exceed.
inaly dou'tful investments, as this one
certainly is, as in the good old ante-bellum
times. There are plenty Of bold Yankee
spectators, however, who may think it O
good thing, and the President himself, With
his judicious eye to location and TALENT in
the real estate line, may find some eligible
spot there as well worth gobblement aa
