 Official reports received here say the reports of the strength of the late Cuban filibustering expedition which sailed from this country on the Danish steam CT Horsa are exaggerated in published reports. There were but forty insur- gents, twenty of whom embarked in New York n the nipbf Of Satur6aU the 9th instant They had attended with others a mass meeting in that city which was held in the interest of the Cuban insur- gents, and when this adjourned the men went to the wharf, where they were taken aboard tug, which was awaiting their arrival The utmost secrecy was observed. Shortly after midnight the tug dropped down the stream and car ried her crew of passengers to a point off Cape Barnegal, where they were taken aboard the Horsa, which awaited them at that place. The Horsa had car ried an equal number of insurgents, who had gone aboard at Philadelphia. These forty it is claimed, represented the full strength of the expedition. The Gorsa cleared from Philadelphia for Port An tonio, Jamaica. Upon her arrivel in Gu ban waters she attempted to land the ex- petition upon the eastern coast of the island. It was attempted to put the fili- busters ashore in boats. While thus engaged Spanish gunboat hove in sight. whereupon the Horsa immediately steamed away In the direction of Ja- maica. Upon her arrival at Kingston the Horsa was seized by the British au- thorities, as reported in these dispatches The fact developed today that two of the leaders of the Horsa expedition, Francis co Garillo and Jose Maria Aguirre, are naturalized American citizens They were arrested in Havana at the outbreak of the revolution, but were released at the request of the American consul-gen- eral, MT Williams. They claimed at that time to have no connection with the re- bellion. and their release was granted because of their American citizenship It is stated today that they were then in active sympathy with the rebellion, and that this last act is the third time they have allied themselves with the enemies of the Spanish government.
 A strong denial is given today that this expedition had Its origin in Canada or that any of it's members started from that country. The entire affair was planned in New York. It is also denied that the insurgents carried with them any considerable number of arms It fig mot doubted that each had whatever was necessary for himself, but no more.
 Suspicion was directed to the Horsa upon her arrival at Philadelphia several weeks ago. It is customary for incoming vessels to employ the same pilot upon arriving and departing. The pilot was notified when his outward services be- gan that he would not be needed again. This at once led to the belief that there was some hidden purpose in pursuit in this course and the vessels movements from that time were carefully followed
