"J do not believe that there has been any

'?Tho Spanish authorities rather consuro
tho United States for not strictly enforcing
tho neutrality laws, and many think that, as
tho sympathy of lliiscountry is more with tho
Insurgents than with tho Spanish, our gov

C u ha. i told tin) Spanish authorities that
they must remember that thoro was an im

trouble with which they themselves had
to prevent tho landing of such expedi
tious ou tho < uban coast, notwithstanding
tho fact that their guuboats and other vessels
were constantly patrolling thee ast and on
tho lookout for filibusters, some idea could
bo formed of the comparative case with
which the United States authorities could bo
evaded. Willi tho comparatively small coa.;t
line, I know of only one lijg expedition? that
of the Three 1 'lie mis? which has been cap
tured by them. Yet this country hnscertnlnly
pre vested the starting of at least half a dozen
