What Left in the Arago for Cuba Recruiting for New Adventures Brisk. From the Now York payors of this morning ?e glean later aud fuller detail relative to the Cuban expedition which lately fitted out aud k it for the "Queen of the Antilles." Olhrr Expcriitioim. The World states: f In fact, the entire seaboard him bcen'and is till being crowded with filibusters. Within the nnt thirty-three day we have positive informa tion that 11000 men have left the cities of Charles ton, Baltimore, and New Orleans for points ad ja ent to the Cuban coast nnd for the island it elf. Twenty-live hundred have left the city of New York, nnd five hundred more are now, while thi is being written wailing to get off. It is not possible, however, for this batch to get off now that the authorities have been bo effec tually alarmed. It 1 expected that a force of 25,000 men will, in a few weeks, be placed under the command of General Jordan, who has the command of the entire Cuban army at present, mikes that he is unfortunate enough to be rap tured by Spanish war-vessels during the next six day. The Arago will certainly cither have landed her troop within the next six days, or else they will be captured by the Spanish or American war vessel. It is expected that 10,000 men will bo conveyed from Mexico aud the West India Mantis to a port contiguous to the island of Cuba, and here they will be reinforced and armed with the arm now on board of the Arago. Jordan, if not captured, will be in command of 25.000 good troop in ten days. The Cuban Com mittee in this city, which has furnished the t:;8.",C00 in gold which equipped the Arago, and of which Senor Alfars is a leading member, has now in the treasury 900,000 to $1,000,000 in gold, and several wealthy Cubans have volun teered their fortunes in the cause. The Arago Her Arms and Xtore. Relative to the Arago, on which the filibusters embarked, the came journal publishes the fol lowing: For the first time we are enabled to glvo a complete inventory of the arms aud ammunition which were placed on board of the Arago a week before the put to sea. They are as follows: 10,000 stand of arms, 6,000,000 round of fixed ammunition, 12 six-pounder, 6 twelve-pounder, 2000 saddles, and 3000 bridles. Beside these articles of contraband, there were carriages for the guns, lot of pork and beef, medical stores, crackers, aud a large quan tity of rum to cheer the patriots. The 10,000 stand of arms were not needed altogether, of course, as is understood, to arm the men in the Arago. The surplus arms were for the Cubans who were willing to fight in the centre of the island, but have not arms. The saddle and bridles were for the use of the mounted infantry, as that arm has been found the most serviceable In the war with the Span lard. Mounted infantry can be used for the double purpose of cavalry and infantry. New York' Contingent of Filibuster. To show the extent and secrecy of this move ment against the Spanish Government, wo will now give the names of the olllcers In command of the different bodies of men who have sailed from this city during the past three weeks, In inch u manner as will convince those people ho are still incredulous. It was necessary to keep back this information as long as possible from the public, in order to avoid implicating those who gave it to this journal. The vessels tailed as follows, in the following order, and with the following number of men on board: First 'vessel, commanded Dy iOiouei 4. a. Johnson, carried 552 men. Second vessel, commanded by Frank B. 8pl nola (not the General F. B. Spinola of Brook lyn), 300 men. Third vessel, name of officer In command Withheld, 632 men. Fourth vessel, commanded by General French, fcO men. Fifth vessel (the Arago), commanded by General Thomas Jordan, formerly Chief of Beauregard's staff, 420 men and 81 officers, of all ranks. Of this number of officers four belonged to the French nrmy, on leavo of absence in tu.li city, and no one Hindering, they took French leave for Cuba. There were alao seven English otticcrs of high rank, who were in the batch olW. Nostra of the Officers. It wan impossible to get a list of all tho officer who weut in tho Arago under General Jordan, but we give all the name we could get, and it will be easy for those who are acquainted with them in this city, where they are all well known, to deny the fact that they hare gone on the Arago if they choose to do so. Among the officer were: Colonel and Brevet Brigadier-General Charles May. Lieutenant J. F. Maglll, of tha British artil lery. Lieutenant Edward Barre, French cavalry. Major George Inman, 7th Rhode Island In f uu try. Captain L. C. Bailey, formerly of the 6th United State Cavalry. I Lieutenant Thoma Fitzgibbons, Quarter- ItTajor E. B.

In a few days an advertisement will appear in ih mnnilnirifiiimals from the Cuban authorities, yating that no more recruits will be received for iitio Cuban army. They have enough already.

Recruiting wa going on briskly all day yetlrday at the headquarters, No. 71 Hroadway, room art; quite a crowd had collected liefore the door were opened In the morning, and for a whole day a steady stream flowed in of "hraves,"' tmxlous to do or die for Cuban Independence and a liberal supply of greenback. When our reporter asked the jiiuiuir of the building which was the room where he could enlist for Cuba, that faithful Cerberus, an honest Dutchman, replied, "Kverytmd.y ask me dat; I tells so many more as fifty to-day ; dey vos here fore I open dls morula', and it pcroom dirty r.lx in de vrunt." Several stoiit-lonklng young fel lows came up at this time, asking the same oft-recurring question, "Where mui we 'list for Cuba?" ami as our reporter walked away the last thing which he heard wa, "Dirty Klx In de vrunt." WorUL The President on the Cuban Oumtion. The New York Times has a despatch from Wash ington which says: Notwithstanding till the talk about the Cuban ques tion, it is positively known that the subject ha never been formally considered by tho President in Cabinet. It ho been the subject of incidental men tion and discussion by the member of the Cabinet, but It has never risen to the dignity of a formal con sideration. The President and Cabinet arc probably unani mous in their feeling of sympathy with the Cuban revolutionists, the President himself being known to be quite warm on that subject. Hut that is a dif ferent thing from official action, and is not in the least likelv to betray the ;overnment into any course which will not lie consistent with the national honor, dignity, aud safety. CUBAN HEADQUARTERS. The Central Itendezvons ol the Cubans In this Country timbering or Arms and Ammuni tion Description or the IIendiinrtcrs. The New York Tribune says: "A visit to the building No. 71 Broadway disclosed the fact that therein is situated the headquarters of the Cuban movement in this country. The general manage ment devolve upon twelve gentlemen, most of whom are Cuban refugees; they are called the Cen tral Republican de Cuba and Puerto Klco. Senor Morale Iannis, the Envoy from the Provisional Gov ernment of the Island of Cuba to the United States Government, i President of the committee, and Dr. Bassora, Secretary. The committee have the charge and direction of all matters pertaining to the cause In this country. All subscriptions of monev, arms, ammu nition, etc., etc., are forwarded to them, and by them sent to safe points near the sent of war. In doing this, the committee claim that they in no wise violate the neutrality laws, citizens, they argue, have the right to purchase anything that Is offered for sale In this country. They do not ship the articles to Cuba, but to other port ontside of the Jurisdiction of the United Slates. They state that they have not en rolled or recruited a single man. They have no re cruiting offices, all report to the contrary. They have a room up town, where young Cuban are In structed iu the use of the musket, and pay for the instruction. Any Cuban or Cuban sympathizer who desire to go to Cuba Is furnished with transporta tion by the committee. The committee have no trouble in getting men. They are in receipt of a large number of letters dally from parties desirous of joining them ; a great many come to their office who are desirous of enrolling, but at present they have all the men they can equip. Eleven men were refused yesterday afternoon. Arms aud am munition are what they are most iu need of, aud a one of the committee said yesterday, "If we could get a musket for every man that oiler to join our urmy, we would soon have an army strong enough to nrive tne npanisn array into me sea." ine majority of the Cubans arm and equip themselves, in addition to paying their expenses to Cuba. A good example of the feeling of sacrifice that prevails among the Cubans is furnished by the 'diamond story,' as it is culled. At the time the call for aid was made a Cuban gentleman came to the committee and offered all the money he had in the world, liooo, a a contri bution. The lames 01 nis iamuy, nearmg 01 mis. persuaded the committee not to accept the money, tint instead ine iamuy jewels, worcn over i lu.uoo. The names of the generous ladies cannot be made nubile for certain private reasons. Mine oi tne currency of the Provisional Government of Cuba is exhibited by the Junta.

Correspondence from London, dated the 84th tilt.. states: It Is the Intention of Sir Henry Bulwer to ulve notice of a motion for information in regard to the Alabama treaty, a it is called, made between the late government and Keverdy Johnson, and ha will probably couple with It a request for such information as to the complications between America and Spain as may be in tne possession 01 ine present uoverumcuu Sir Henry designed bringing up these Interesting subjects on tne 4tn 01 May, oui ne win not prooaniy do so before the 11th. He isopposed to the Johnson Stanley treaty, tooth and nail, and will very severely criticize the action of the late ministry. Nor will some of the present Cabinet escape scot free, not withstanding Sir Henry's friendly relation with Gladstone. The rumor of troubles on tne continent or Europe begin to come upon us thick and fast, and those who are ocsi inioriucu uisirust -itoieou h proiessions 01 a desire for peace, and anticipate a disturbance be fore tne summer snail nave passed away, one main fact is evident to every sensible mind the intenslUed hatred between Franco and Prussia. These two great powers are actually at war so far a preparations for a mighty conflict are concerned. The two countries bristle, wilh bayonet. Their arsenals are packed with ammunition. All over the country their ageuts may be met with purchasing horses. They stand with braced up muscles and flashing eyes, ready to spring at each other' throuts. In suck a state of affairs who can say how soon the first blow may be given, and the two enemies lie grappling in deadly conflict, and who can place any conildence in expressions of peaceful Intentions coming from such sources? Yet both nations profess to be anxlou to preserve the peace of Europe. Belgium Is in the way of the Em peror and his scheme. He desires to brush the little kingdom aside practically by destroying her Independence and making her simply a highway for his troop and munitions of war, yet he is very anxious for peace. It is rumored, by the way, that Mr. Bancroft he excited the displeasure of the Em peror. The latter, on a receut occasion, half jokingly Informed General Dlx that Mr. Bancroft had made to the King of Prussia such warm professions of friendship and sympathy on the part of the.Uuited States u to almost amount, by implication, to' an un friendly expression against France. To this General Dlx replied, with his usual tact, that the United States Government desired to have the most friendly relation with all European countries, and that as the nations of Europe were at peace and on such friendly terms with each other, it was possible for the United' States to sympathise warmly with all of them at the same time. Frightful Catastrophe SI xteen Persons Killed. A dreadful catastrophe occurred on Wednesday evening, the 81st ult., at the Delabole slate quarries, situated on the north coast of Cornwall, and about four mile from Tlutagel. It appears that part of the machinery used for hoisting slate and debris fell to the bottom of the quarry, a distance of 850 feet, carrying with It the ground upon which the machi nery stood. Scores of men were working in tho bot tom of the pit at the time the accident took place, no less than twelve of whom were burled In the ruins. Assistance was Immediately rendered, and after some time eight were dug out, all alive, but six of the poor fellows were frightfully Injured. The others are supposed to be killed. One man was miraculously saved by falling Into the cavity of a rock, where he was found by a body of explorers. A little girl who was standing close to the machinery at the time It fell was hurled from top to bottom, but, strange to say, she escaped uuhurt. . . A still later accouut say It Is now ascertained that no lets than sixteen persons have lost their live throuyb the shocking accident which occurred on Wednesday evening at the Delabole slate quarries. These include Ourtcen wen, two boys, and one woman. One man I reported to be dying thr.mgh the effects of the Injuries which he received. Four bodies have not as yet been recovered. It i esti mated that the quantity of rock which fell the whole distance of 2f0 feet amounted to no less than lftO ton. A might bo Imagined, the catastrophe h:is created great excitement throughout the district, and although 400 hands are employed In the quarry, no work has liccn done since the accident. DELAWARE. The Con(!nrrn.tlon In Delaware City. The Wilmington Comirwrvial of last evening contains the following news: The lire at Delaware Clty.on Tuesday evening, proves not to have been of incendiary origin, a was at first supposed. It resulted from the full of a lamp which wn hanging in the stable. There were several driver iu the stable at tho time, and, on the discovery of the fire, they im mediately gave each other the alarm, nnd all sprnng from the window except one, who, thinking they were, only awaking him to fool him, lay still until it was too late for escape, lie was a well-known chitractcr about the town kuown almost entirely by the namo of "Jimmy" and was a driver on the canal. The number of mules destroyed was forty. There were also eight tons of liny and some feed in the stable, which were also consumed. The Dro at one time assumed threatening pro portions, and it was only with the greatest tiilll culty that tho extensive carriage making shop of Jesse Alexander could be Prevented from catch ing fire. The stable of Major J. B. Henry did catch fire several times, but the flames were suppressed each time and the building thus saved. The sight next morning was most sickening, the bodies of the animals being strewn amongst the ruins. The body of "Jimmy," the driver, was not found until some search had been made, and it was a horrible sight, nothing being left but the blackened trunk, his legs, arms, aud head having been burned entirely off. A Noble Deed The Heroism of a Inline Day. The Commercial alno says: On Monday last a young boy, a son of Mrs. Forest, living on Kiddle's Banks, near thi city, had occasion to take his aunt across the dam of Jessup dc Moore's paper mills, to the east side of the Brandywlne creek. On returning, owing to the strong wind and high freshet, the boat be came unmanageable and was carried over the dam breast. Providentially, the boat, as it was rushing down the rapid water below the dam, struck upon the only rock in the creek whose top wa above the water, and here young Forest (scrambled nnd thereby wa saved from immediate drowning. The people soon gathered for the rescue, but the question arose as to how the boy was to be saved from hi perilous condition. At that moment a lame bov, with a crutch, came forward and said, "I can fetch him !" One of the bystander ob jected, until his father, Patrick Mulricn, who was present, said, "Let him go: you can't drown that boy." A rope was procured, and young Mulrien, wifh rope aud crutch, went to the rescue. After feeling the water a little, he threw the crutch ashore, and manfully plunged into the rapid, rushing Hood of waters, headed for the rock In the middle of tho creek, where sat the half-drowned, chilled, and frightened boy. Mulrien swam round and round till he got through the eddying water, and on to the ice Bide of the rock, where he scrambled up; tied his ropo around young Forest, and with his feet had to push him off the rock into the seething, boiling current, as the boy stubbornly refused to leave the only place of safety, being benumbed with cold, and afraid to face tho danger of tho rapid flood again. The man soon pulled him ashoro, where kind hands ministered to his want. The trouble then wn how Mulrien wa to get back again, as he still sat upon tho rock and looked quietly at the people, then at the rushing flood, lie prepared himself for the plunge, aud, after circling round tho partly covered dangerous rocks, directed his course down the creek, made headway with the current, and very soon gained the shore, some distance below the scene of the disaster.

Only two persons wero Ivlng there. Tho hospital for male is a more Inte resting place not because it contains more patients (for these were three in number), but because it contains the Penitentiary Librarv of Mr. Callicott. Mr. Callicott, formerly tho Speaker of the New York State Assembly, Is tho hospital steward of tho Albany Penitentiary. His history, including the circumstances which consigned him here, is too well kuown to need recapitulation. He wa appointed to hi present post a week after his arrival, in Juno, 1808, and has conducted himself, a I learn from tho Superintendent, without fault. His duty is, besides attendance upon hospital patient, to care for and distribute tho library. Tho library consists of a thousand volumes, some three hundred of which are contiuually absent from the shelves. When I entered tho hospital, Mr. Callicott was sealed behind a table at tho further end, with hi head bent over a largo open book, shielding his face with his hand. Ho did not alter his position or elmngo the place of a limb; and I am told that this partial masking of him self Is his habitual custom when visitors are present. The Superintendent speaks of his philosophy, his intelligence, hi well-controlled temper and captivating manner. He has two daughters, who are at school in Canada. He appears to be chiefly concerned in their behalf, and l uffected by any allusion to them. JV. I'. tiun. . Arrent fa, ttlurdcrci.

Nelson, tho murderer, 1 a notorious rolflan, and wa traocd to a point about 150 mile from the ecene, where he sold tho horse. It appears ho got only part of the pay for the animal, and was so in cautious a to arrange that tho balance of tho purchase money should be sent to Shertnondalo, Perry county, not far from Carlisle, in this State. Bv thw ho was traced, and Thompson succeeded In arresting him. He took tha pri soner safely through, although he had no requi sition. PilisburgChronle oflatt evening. INSANITY. A I.unnilo Trnvclllne with the Davenport Brothers. t'rrnn the Ronton IlfraltL Yesterday morning the Davenport Brothers, who are too well known to need further refer ence here, called at the olllco of the Chief of Police and complained that a man styli-ig him self the Rev. Elishu F. Minicr, who had been in their employ, nnd whom many will rem !inbor having seen of late, he being the middle-aged individual who turued up and dowu the gas lights at tho neancea of tho Brothers at Music Hall, had embezzled $150 belonging to them, the proceeds of the "dark nenn.ee" given on Thursday evening. Detective Hill was sent out and soon returned with Minicr, whom he had arrested at the Boston Hotel. Minicr is a tall man with greyish hair, clear blue eye, and an intelligent-looking countenance. Ills conversa tion is fluent aud pleading, and hi ideas are lucidly, not to say elegantly, expressed. The Davenport say they picked (inn up iu Washing ton, D. C, a few weeks ago, and gave him em ployment more out of charity than anything else, he being in reduced circumstance. Since his arrival in Boston, Minicr ha ucd the Davenport for $800, hi claim being that that amount i hi due for services rendered them in writing manuscripts and controlling tho spirits for them. His next annoying step was the retention of the $150 previously referred to, and it wa found necessary to have him looked after by the authorities. On being arrested ho declared that he knew where tho mouey was and that it belonged to him. In fact, he had con ceived the idea that the whole establishment, Davenport and all, belonged to him, aud he pro posed to run It until he bad raised ten million of dollars, which he declared hi intention of devoting to the publication of forty-eight thou sand page of manuscript, which he had been ordered to write on the subject of the birth of Christ, whose near kin lie wa. Some time ago, Minicr, who hail from Cin cinnati, wrote aud published a pamphlet ad dressed to President Lincolu and his Cabinet, petitioning them, in the first paragraph, to make him Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy of tho United State. Minicr was very indig nant toward tho Davenport brothers for their attempt to regain the 150, and talked to them only as an insane person could talk. He has for some time carried with him a huge dirk knife, because, a he said, the spirit had told him some one wn going to take hi life. His arrest, he contended, was part of a plot looking to that end. Application was made to Judge Bacon for a warrant in the matter of embezzlement, but, after perusing the pamphlet, the Judge refused the warrant on the ground of evident insanity. Subsequently, Drs. Foye and Long examined Minier, and declared him Insane, the samo de termination was reached by Dr. Clark after wards, aud finally, by order of Judge Ames, Minier was taken to the Insane Asylum at Taun ton; not, however, until ho had promised to visit Boston with a big earthquake and shake it all to piece. LEGAL IWTELLiaSBTCB. Court of Quarter Hessions Allison, J. P. PrlBon case were resumed thl morning. Peter Miller pleaded guilty to a charge of larceny. Thi wa a purely conscience case, such a is seldom known in a criminal court. Last Monday a week ago he went to Detective Tryon, and told him that some day previous he had stolen a horse and wagon, and had taken them to Jersey and sold them; but this wa his first offense, and it weighed so heavily upon bis mind that he would prefer rather to confess hi guilt and expiate it by undergoing whatever punish ment the law might impose, than to retain hi liberty under the circumstances. The prisoner was a man of middle age and very respectable appearance. Peter Morris pleaded guilty to a charge of the lar ceny of a number of carpenter' tool from Kox borough. John Flaherty, a boy, pleaded guilty to a charge of the larceny of a lot f iron from Lombard street wharf. He aud two other were caught In the act of carrying the iron away, and he wa pursued ami captured.
