the outside shutter which was fastened
by staple and paddock and breaking
the large square of glass out of the front
door. They appear to have taken no
goods from the store except supply OF
plug tobacco. Two letters. which were
in the Office were opened: but it is not
believed that either of them contained any
money. Quite supply of postage
stamps were on hand but none of them
were missing. 1t looks as if the break
was made by gang of tramps in need
of some tobacco and a little loose change.

the Cubans have lost very few men.
The Government is gathering in all the

some startling disclosures. lie declared that
he had nothing to do with the purchase Of the

steamer capable of carrying 300 picked men to
Cuba. The Junta's agent had secured the boat,
claiming to have paid $4,000 for it. When
Gen. Grscia saw the Hawkins it was too late
to make any change III the program, although
1t was known the vessel was unsound. There
was not piece Of canvas nor sail on board
when it was found the boat was leaking, and
the ife-boats were found rotten whom the men
