(general Nteedumn’s Expedulan (o
Cuba— Wbat u Union ueuerul t»si
legea lo be liolng (or Cuban Inde
pendence.
[Correspondence of tho N. Y. Tlmos.l
New Oklkans, April 10, 1869 Some time
lisee a . filibustering expedition was planned
here in older to reinforce the Cubans with men
and arms. The Spanish Consul la this city, after
getling.wind of tbis movement, aeked Oiptaiu-
General Dolce to send over from Cuba some
adroit spies. Nearly every steamer from Ceba
brought some of them, but they did not fare bet
ter tton tbe Consul, tho volunteers and
Cubans. keeping a strict watch over
them. It will be remembered that sometime ago
GeneralSleedman visited Havana, that ho was
arrested there and released afterward. Tbis trip
was undertaken for the purpose of reconnolter
ing and putting himself iu connection with the
Cuban patriots. Shortly after bis return here,
in tbo upper room of Hawkins’ saloon, a btr
roam ol the Havte-voUe, a secret meeting was
btld, at which the Executive Committee of the
Cuban refngees, tbe Mexican Consul,Scuor Diaz;
General Sleedman, General Harry J. Hays, late
Chief of tbe Louisiana Confederate Artillery;
Colonel pnxon. late Colonel in the Confederate ,
Army, atd proprietor of tbe Crescent newspaper,:
and many other influential and opulent citizens ;
of tbis city met. General Bteedman reported on
what be bad observed at Havana, after which a
plan for au expedition was made. Sisco then tbe
corps organizi d numbers over a thousand men,
camping on different plantations in the neigh
borhood ol the city. The chiefs have further pur
chased 2,000 rifles and two fall batteries of artil
lery, and also hired a very last steamer, a former
blockade runner, to bring them to tbat northern ’
coast of Cuba. This steamer is reported since to
have left for Cuba.
The expedition will be joined by nearly all
members of tbe Democratic Ex-Union Soldiers'
and Sailors’ Club (organized during tho election
campaign), whoso President was General S:cied
man. They hope to be able lo baffle by their
steamer every pursuit, though in case of need,
they are firmly resolved to givo battle to any
Spanish man of-war which they may encounter.
There 1b plenty of money among tbe filibusters,
for the rich planters arrived from Cuba and tbo
Mexican Consul, Mr. Diaz, have provided ample
funds for earn lng out tbe expedition, General
Sleedman having also contributed $5,000. Seaor
Diaz, iu tbe negotiations with the Cubans, serves
us interpreter aßd negotiator, wbile tbe latter
occupies bimself with the organization of tbe
corps only, which will consist of two divisions,
commanded by Gen. Hays and Col., Nixon, while
Gen. Sleedman will bo Commander-In-Chief. A
splendid Cuban flag made oi silk, by the wife of
Senor Diaz, was presented to tho officers of tbe
corps in Senor Diaz’s bouse.
It may be well Imagined that pure love of lib
erty has not solely caused the members of the
corps, and especially the officers, to tako part iu
tbe expedition. Tbe leaders of tho expedition
have been promised high offices, and tbe other
filibusters are to bo compensated according to
rank aDd their merits. Senor Diaz has just now
returned from Washington, bringing iavorable
news and much money with him, the latter for
tbat expedition which is to start at tbe same limo
from Mobile for Cuba.
That the enterprise will meet with difficulties
in Ibis port is hardly to be believed, the Cdatom
boneo officials being all in favor of the Cuban
cause. Moreover, tbe emrps is made up of men
who have scented battle-fields,- and - who are not
intimidated by Spanish troops or Spanish sur
veillance.

A Brigade of Americans Fighting for
the Cubans — Old Confederate Sol
ti lers In the Field-Curious state,
ments of a Newspaper Correspond
ent.
A correspondent of the Savannah Advertiser,
writing “In the Field, near Bayamo, Cuba, April
6, says : Successes of the Liberals continue to
be reported daily. General Gomez Is actively
harassing Vulmaseda's forces, and Marcamo,
Foldres, and Thornton sweep the country for six.
leagues about Santiago de Cuba. Within a week
a dozen ekinnishes are reported, and each one
was a Liberal victory, as the foot
ing up of prisoners, arms and stores
captured will show. Every plantation in this
section is a harbor for the Liberals; every cross
road is a gathering place or patriot camp, and
every hacienda you can find a patriot quarter.
The trains sent out to San Louis, El Christo and
Palma Doria have, for the third time since March
7, been cither driven back or captured. The
armed and unarmed patriots spring up from the
ground as did Marion’s men in flays gono by
upon the Pedee, and their success Is inevitable
The arrival of Hamilton's brigade at Port Naranjo
was an event. 1 hey came in detached companies,
und only since they have taken the fleld has any
appreciation of their strength in arms been
had. From their arrival they went to work
in earnest—a large number were mounted within
twelve hours of their arrival and away, scouting
the country as though to the manor born. Ham
ilton is not yet with them—he may be in Cuba ere this
reaches you, though. Old familiar faces are here,
though last seen at Shiloh or at the Wilderness,
pressing throuqk the smoke of battle , and these
veterans of the great rebellion make short and
speedy work of the thin-skinned Andalusians.
Yon con readily imagine what chance a consciipt
Spaniard, fresh from a voyage, reduced by the
borrors of an aggravated sea-sickness, and green
to war, has with these powder-burned tigers.
Some ol them have recently been seen in and
aronnd Bayamo, Mayara, and Buciry, and
wbeiever they have been seen will long be
remembered. Thornton is at Palma Doria to*
day to-morrow about Villa del Cobre, ever
ready. Broughton is invalided with a wound re
ceived within twelve hours after landing. Van
Horn, who save he is an original Alabama rebel,
leaves me to-day for La Gnanaja and the vicinity
of General Qaesada’a command. Valmaeeda and
Maicamo met a few days since, and another
Liberal snccesß has been added to tho list. The
Spanish troops are beginning to desert freely.
Twelve came into our camp last night—all now
arrivals from Spain. Little of this is of Interest
to you who listen for stirring news; for great bat
tles whereon yon can Indite many words? for
charges and assanlts, upon which to build long
black headlines; but to us these little skirmishes,
tempered as they are by tho most bloodthirsty
spirit upon the part of the Spaniards, and by the
desperate, Boul-nerved resolution npon tho past
ef the Liberals—these things to ns are nt* void of
excitement nor danger, it is not permitted,mo
to go into details—suffice it to say that each day
adds to our force, our strength, unanimity and
prospects. Each day brings to the ports we hold
men, munitions, stores, money and hope. The
issue Is no longer doubtful. Blockade running
continues to increase. If the hatches could bo
lifted off, half the vessels In the Gulf to-day
would show something contraband ot war.
We we working rapidly against the day when
the grand cordon will ho placed urwrnd as, which
lire oßd iron alone can remove. Now is tho
time for tho adventurous, either In person or
puree, to come forward. Fortune and fame come
easily and speedily in such days ob these. Tho
prospect is cheering to every Cuban—to every
lover of liberty. Wo havo gotten beyond the
stage when alldeslre to bo generals. We have
reached that stage when all are willlu-st to work
in'whatever sphere they may bo placed, and,to
' work whole-hearted whon that Umo is
as you know success Is no looger problematical.
I will continue to write to you as occasion may
setve, Unt do not look to mo for
counts ol great battles-thoy are not Plentiful.

The Washington correspondent of thtr Now
York Herald, sayer
Official Information received from Londotvcon*-
firms my despatch of two days ago to ttredffiJet
ihut Secretary Fish had demanded of Eaglaild »*'
explanation regardlntr the seizure aOd'cOndenra**-
lion of the brig Mary Lowell. There ISnoddubt s
whatever of the fact that such a demand has heMt'
placed before the English Premier, but atrtho
samo time it should be- stated that no fears-are*
entertained In official circles here that auyccW
cauee of trouble betweem the governments trHl'
arise therefrom. It Is understood hero that thd '
EDglish government agrees with oar own ht' i
regarding the conduct Of ' the Spaniards'St*
this matter is completely Indefensible,' andfnr
tber, that it baa already requested anexolanatiorr 1
of the whole proceeding.. In vindication of iIS
own honor and dignity, should Spain . rofa.ro to •
furplth an explanation to England, there is , rear ■
son to believe the latter will firmly insist ebon
the surrender of the brig Mary Lowell. Wei tr
over may bo the sympathy oh' England foteithn
'Spaniards in their straggle to- preserve Cuba In
their poßseeslon, she will not suffer a flagrant
violation of international law to pass, dnbr
plaihed and ntfsatieflid. It Is said ‘Mr.'Fish’ halt
aesnranees from Minister Johnson that .steps
have already been, taken by England looking to
the surrender of the brig in question.; Oo tho
other band it is stated on good authority that
this point being settled. England will do allin
ber power, wilbont openly declaring herselt Oh
the side of, Spain, to old the latter connlryln
keeping the rebellions Unbans In eubjoctiom It
Is even asserted that a secret understanding has
already been entered into on the part of Eaglaud
and France- to send a powerful fleet to
(be West' Indies to assist in' preventing
snpplies from reaching the Cabans, ana
thus enabling Spain to starve oat bur
rebellions subjects. The two statements seem
hardly recondlable.bnt I give them as they reach
me, without vouching fur their trathfnlhees If
England really has any snch dangerous designs;
it is not easy to explain why she should express
herself so ready to pick a quarrel with Spain
about the Mary Lowell affair. Certainly Brother
Jonathan will be quite as likely to fight about
English and-- French' interference with Gab*
as about the seiznre of a little brig in
English waters. Farther, if Spain
had assurance of Eagllsh and French
support she would hardly yield iso- promptly t»
Ibe late demands of Secretary Fish. Some of the
diplomatic folks here declare that notwithstand
ing all the talk about Spanish pride and the Im*
possibility almost of effecting a bargain for the
sale of Cnba the provisional government In old
Spain are only waiting a good cxcase and oppor
tunity to sell ont the gem to Brother Jonathan.
Money, say some of the diplomats assembled is
Washington, is what Spain now needs above
everything.' She must raise money soon, some
how or other, and one of the easiest modes they
believe is by tbe sale of Cuba.
