under an American register. hut it has
been stated that she WAS sold to Gen.
Qucsada. the Cuban rcvolutiumiSt. some
two years ago. and since that time has
been sailing under Cuban and Ncnczuc-
Ian flags. There is no doubt that She
has been III the service of the Cuban
IcVolutioni>tS. Some twenty months
since she ran the blockade of Cuba. and
delivered Il load of arms and men (put
ON board i'll Venezuelan port) in the
eastern department of Cuba. and it is
said she has made one similar voyage
since. The CuhanS, having it is said.
abandoned the hope of securing the aid
of the United States in their rebellion.
determined Il while since to concentrate
all their energies on the work of main
tanning the rebellion in the field. The
expedition carried 10y and captured in
the NirginiuS WAS designed to initiate
this policy and to gather all the reserves
they had i'll men and munitions living
idle in this country and at Spanish
American ports. and make an attempt
to get into Cuba with them. She cleared
from Kingston, jamaica. on the ll:}d
ult., after taking on board large party
of CuhanS and Il quantity of arms and
munitions. Gen. Ryan, an American
advcnturcI, in command of the cxped-
lion, gave Il grand ball ON board the
evening before she sailed. \ few hours
later. she Was captured by the Spanish
man-uf-War Tornado. and taken into
the port of Santiago de Cuba, where
