LErrERs"--THE VIEWS OF DRIGADIER CON-
zAI.Es.
Mr.. ALBANIA, the lat. Cuban agent had received yes
tcrday nothing new from his compatrioss on the
island. He ssid that the sirreconciables' showed
uushaken disposition to continue the war, and that
many Of had LETT the territory occupied by
The insurgents would nnd their way back there He
did believe that tho Marquis OF Santa Lucia had
embarked tor Europe; tho contrary, II that gen
tleman should leave Tho island he would come TO New
York.
In speaking of "thal batch oil Cuban letters" Mr..
ALBANIA believed hkt his DENIAL OF their authenticy
was complete enough make It appear plain that
their publication lad been induced by the employer
of u iorger rather than thiei who had stolen them
from his Office He challenged the fullest investiaa-
tion, and hoped that the paper which published
the correspondence would thro" some ight on ther
origin.
