tody-spanish Spies Forced tho Goycrn- mont to Act.
 New York, Feb. 25.-The biggest raid yet made since sympathizing Cubans in this country first began assisting in the revolution on the Island of Cuba by sending expeditions to assist Gomez and his men was made by United States Marshal Mccarthy and his men be- tween midnight and o'clock this morn- ing.
 In this raid the federal officers seized the steamship Bermuda and three tugs, and got over 150 prisoners.
 That the Cubans were betrayed by traitor in their councils there is no doubt, for they were led into trap set by the Spaniards and captured with the assistance of the authorities at Washington.
 GENERAL GARCIA CAPTURED. The saddest blow to the Cubans was the capture of General Calixto Garcia, who was to have led the expedition General Garcia was also the leader of the ill-fated Hawkins expedition.
 Had it not been for the interference of Marshal Mccarthy and his men General Garcia would have started with the finest expedition that has as yet been fitted out to aid the patriots in their fight for liberty.
 Besides the prisoners and the boats captured the marshal and his men also got all of the ammunition and firearms that were about to be transferred from tugboats to the Bermuda. Altogether the work of the United States officers was as complete as possible.
 THE PRISONERS PLACED UNDER
 GUARD.
 SiXty-nine of the prisoners captured were brought to the Federal building this morning and placed in a room under guard. They are a fine-looking lot of men, most of them ranging be- tween the ages of twenty and thirty years. They were all well dressed, and a Cuban who had called to see one of the number stated that most of those arrested were representatives of the best families in Cuba All of the pris- oners wore gray slouch hats.
 Besides the sixty-nine men in the Federal building the marshal and his men also had sixty others in custody and thirty two men who composed the crew of the Bermuda. These men were all held at the Barge office shortly be- fore noon.
 The following are the names of the men first brought to the Federal build ing:

 HELD.
 There were a few among the prisoners who refused to give their names. They all declared when questioned that they did not speak English. They thought that only a half dozen or so of their number would be held.
 The steamship Bermuda is Britisher, two-masted, iron screw She was for lnerIy used in the Bermuda freight trade. She registered 823 net tons and is 223 feet long, with beam of 229 feet.
 HAD BEEN WATCHED BY SPIES. The Bermuda had been under watch by the Spanish spies for several weeks Since Saturday last she has been at anchor off Bedloe's Island.
 The Cubans had probably observed greater secrecy about the Bermuda ex- petition than about any other that they have organized in the past year and they believed that their plans could not fail.
 | clearance papers on Saturday. Appar- ently the ship was bound for Jamaica The Spanish spies, however, were in- formed of every move of the Cubans. They kept in constant communication with the officers at Washington. Ev- erything was then made ready to raid the expedition when all the men and ammunition had been placed on board. RAIDED BY MARSHAL MCCARTHY. Marshal Mccarthy got word yester- day that the plans of the Spanish spies were all arranged. Warrants were then sworn out and tugs made ready to capture the Bermuda Marshal Me Carthy and his men acted quickly. A government revenue cutter was pressed into the service.
 So completely had the Spanish spies been informed of the Cubans' move ments that there was no chance for the marshal to fail in making the cap ture They knew that the tug J. S. T. Stranahan would leave the foot of King street. Brooklyn, loaded down with am- nunition and firearms, and would ar rive alongside the Bermuda at about midnight.
 The officers also knew that ammuni- ton and men would be carried to the ship by the tugboats W. J. McCaldin
