WILL RAISE 4 NEW QUESTION.
Alleged Effor. of the Spaniards to Hnv
the Cuban Junta Arrested.

Alleged Efor. Of the Spaniards to Have
the Cuban Junta Arrested.
Philadelphia, April 1s.-A private
meeting Of Cubans and Cuban sympa-
thizers was held in this city last night
at which 1t was decided to take steps to
Illustrate what the Cubans claim is the
real object of Major Juno SandovaTs visit
to this city. This is said to be the ar
rest of no less persons than the members
of the Cuban junta in this country. 1t
has been stated that Major Sandoval
came to Philadelphia to purchase NUM-
tions OF war to be shipped to General
Weyler in Cuba. Leading Cubans, how
ever, assert that II is to gather informa-
tion that will eliminate in the arrest of
General Estrada Palr.a, at New York,
and General Quesada. at Washington.
The former Is the minister of the So
called Cuban republic and the latter
charge d'affaires at the capital.
1t is asserted that Major Sandoval has
been commissioned by General weyler
for this express purpose. and is known
to have in his possession documents
found On the steamer Laurada on one
OF her recent trips to Cuba showing the
part played by Generals Palma and
Quesada in her movements. Should the
arrest Of the junta leaders result and
the issue be made in court as to the La
bility Of such body. there will be a
question Of Jurisdiction that will not
only involve the interstate commerce
laws. but also the question OF belliger-
ency and the customs comfy of nations.

January, and he made a demand on
Hayden for his report. Hayden finally
fled the report, in which he recon-
mended that the bank should be closed"
