Excitement in Diplomatic Circles Over tho


Arrest oil Cubans in New York-Secretary


Fish Ignorant of the Whole Affair.


WASHINGTON. June II, 1869.


The news Of the arrest OF the Cuban Envoy and
Junta in New York created considerable surprise In
official and diplomatic circles here. The Depart
ment OF State seems entirely ignorant on
the subject The first intelligence Secretary
Fish had OF 1t communicated to him
this afternoon by your correspondent. Mr..
Ruis Secretary to the Cuban Envoy who Is
now here, also ignorant OF the misfortune Of his
compatriots until informed OF 1t from the same
source Mr.. Fish seemed little bewildered, but
asserted that he knew nothing Of the proceeding
and that orders had gone from the State Depart
ment for the arrest Of the parties. Your correspon
dent next proceeded to the residence OF the spanish
Minister, but he seemed to have an mixing OF what
was going on IN New York aud did not manifest any
surprise at the news. 1t Is probable that he had
despatch from New York announcing the fact earlier
III the day. He seemed in good humor, and snrug-
ging his shoulders, said he supposed they had
indicted by the Grand Jury OF New YORK and arrest
ed for breach OF the neutrality laws. The Cuban
sympatniZers here sllrewdy suspect that the visit
Of the Spanish Minister to New York last
week had something TO do with the arrest
OF the Cuban Junta and Envoy. lie was in New
York for several days. and is thought got OF
his friends to go before the Grand Jury and make
affidavit against the Cuhans which mas resulted In
their arrest NJ Ruis, as soon as he learned the
news immediately telegraphed certain friends OF
the cause In New York, with view OF ascertaining
tue particulars He then repaired to the residence Of
Secretary Fish for the purpose Of holding CONSUL
talon with him. The Secretary informed him,
ne had previously stated to your correspondent
that he knew nothing OF the matter he action OF
the United States authorities In New York is uni
versaly condemned mere. and the synpathIes OF the
people are more than with the Cuban patriots.


Mr.. Ruis received despatch this evening from
New YORK stating that all tie Cubans wlo mad been
arrested We're released on bail.
