orous for IL, would popuarize the republican party
to an extent not inferior to its war prestige after
the .'late onpleasantnessn at home. 1t is looked
upon by hundreds OF thousands OF people as one OF
the happiest means OF bridging 1.-THE bloody chasm'
between the North and South, as the victories and
defeats the vanities and the miseries OF that do

OF the more recent and more honorable conten-

we never can have any national preferences.
THERE WAS CONSIDERABLE ANXIETY
yesterday morning to learn what further details
were brought regarding the persons arrested on
BOARD the steamer City o. new iIrA Ut haVaha'
1t has transpired, however, that among the per-
sons arrested was Mr. Emilio I. Romay, cigar
dealer lately doing business at No. So wall street.
1t Is stated bv his friends that Mr. Romay went to
Havana In the prosecution OF his business as q
| cigar dealer and tobacconist, though II appears
that his place OF business was sold out Tuesday.
Mr. Romay is a Cuban by birth and citizen OF the
United States by naturalization. He Is also .
member OF the First Company OF the Seventh regi-
ment OF our National Guard, he having joined that
command about four years ago. Those OF the
affair are highly indignant concerning it, and 1t is
quite likely that 1t Will be made the subject OF
meeting.

Information OF a very reliable nature reached
some OF the members OF the society yesterday TO
the effect that
SPAIN is NOT so "HARD UPn

sLA PRorECroRAm
the society OF cigar MAKERS composed almost
| wholly OF Spaniards and Cubans, and organized as
sort OF mutual benevolent association, has been
finally dissolved, and Yesterday large number OF
the members met al :. Truilo's restaurant, No. IS
Pine street, to receive their shares. II was found
the association could not work harmoniously
| together for the OBJECTS OF the institution, so
bitter has the feeling become lately. In addition
to this the Cubans OF this country have determined
on making every possible exertion to aid the pa
trot cause. For this reason, 1nasmuch as the
"Protectora' was sort OF stock concern, with
several thousand dollars in its fund, the Cubans
having shares in it determined that they would
dissolve their connection with II and unanimously
devote the financial proceeds TO the
FITTING OUT OF EXPEDITIONS
and the forwarding OF supplies. The association
numbered about 45o members and the net sum of
the JOINT offering Of proceeds by the Cubans Will
amount to nearly $4,000 cash. The Cubans have
come TO the conclusion that their countrymen in
this country can or must protect themselves and
that the funds OF la Protectora" Will do more
real good among the nldnlbf, who most need as

letter was received yesterday by Senior Trujillo
from Cuban friend in Key West stating that the
Cubans OF that port have subscribed $4,000 in aid
OF the patriotic iund, and that
FoRTY-Tw0 YOUNG CUBANS
at Key West have volunteered. The recent crisis
in business affairs has mad the effect OF almost
paralyzing the cigar making business at Key West,
and this is one OF the incentives TO volunteering.
Ii should be stated in this connection that the
unity and cooperation Of the Cubans in the United
States are almost complete. In fact, it Is only IN
New YORK, where there too many of the
magnates OF the cause Of Cuba Libre, that there
Is any dssenson. All these contributions OF men
and means are directed INTO q central move
