KEY WEST, April NO facts are
known here concerning the reported fill

know anything about such an expedition
except by intlmation received from the
North. 1t would be impossible for an ex-

Several very commendable efforts, says
a Washington special, have been made

said one or two are now being made, by
enterprising newspapers to secure a
canvass of the sentiment of Congress on

the review is printed and all are quoted
II may be set down as positive that some
have had words put into their mouths.
A correspondent who has been working
upon the Senate for some time says there
