3 MANIFESTO OF THE CUBAN JUNTA. Grand Expose of Recent Faliures, and Arm rangements. 70 THE PEOPLE OF CUBA. we Oepaxs—Respecting your known anaioty and yielding to reasons of weight, your Junta will now break the allenee, which considerations of the highest importance ave hitherto imposed on the men whom you have @harged with the sacred mission of realizing the revola- tlonary idea. ‘A great and painful disappointment has mocked your ‘ardent hopes and bailed your legitimate expectations, Precious blood has been shed, large resources and great weang of action have been sacrificed, and Cuba, still in bondage and trampled upon, has the right to inquire what causes have again overclouded her destiny, and to ask whether there yet remains to her the basis of a trust gor better days. Your just impatience shall now he satisfied, as fullyas the duties of your Junta will permit— an far as the revelations of the past shall not endanger the present, nor create new perils for the fature. None of you are ignorant of the nature and extent of the plan you entrusted to us for execution, A sad expe- wience had twice demonstrated the insufficiency of attempts which, though they startled the world by their sublime daring and heroic achievements, left bloodshed and mourning in their track, and only augmented he vigilance and discipline of our oppressors. Cuba now required better guaranties of triumph, though slwoys resolute to supply by her courage and constancy the sectous odds she must inevitably encounter ia the new struggle in which she was preparing to launch herself. ‘This project—the wish of the yast majority—sanc- ioned by your suffrages, and sustained by the moral and material means you placed at our disposal—this holy pion «four national redemption, was frustrated just as it touched upon the point of effective execution. The simple statement of the facts, and the publication in due time of ‘the numerous explanatory documents, will show how fur your Junta is responsible for this misfortune, The elec- tion of a mililary chief, the coacentration in his hands of ‘all the clements and powers for action, though sharply eriticised and keenly censured since the events, were then founded on solid reasons, theoretic and practical, and had the consent, tacit or expressed, of all the patriots whe had in any manner coutributed to the progress of ear revolution. In irrefragable evidence of the general sentiment we need but say that on the question of select- ing and empowering a chief, both the party nominated and the powers conferred were in the first instance sug- gested and afterwards approved and ratified by the very revolutionisis whore present vehement objections make Mem worthy—in some estimations—the distinctive title of “men of action.” Ht could not be otherwise, az these measures were cal- ealnted to give to our proceedings the stamp of concert ‘and unity, and to impress our enterprise with that char- aoter of wagnitude and importance which mado it so alarming to our oppressors, To disregard these truth: of yesterday in the judgments of to-day would be a grave sin against the requirements of reason and equily. Tha duty of the Junta thus became limited to com- pleting the collection of the large resources now demand- ed by the plan: to watch over the fulfilment by the ebief of all the conditions of the contract, and to forward by every means in its power the prompt realization of the movement on which hung the destinies of our country. ‘The Junta was cecupied with these objects, and all, Perbaps, would have been accomplished, if certain events had not come to disturb the harmony of our la ors and dontroy the accord which ought to reign in all our efforts ‘Truth is the first duty of your Junta, and it will never shrink fiom it on any occasion; least of all when i involves on one side the historical connection of the eauses which produced the disaster we so much lament, and on the other presents the facts on which the Cubans woust base the verdict they are about to pronounce upon ‘the men whom they have entrusted with their confi- dence. About the middle of the past year of 1864 the revoln- Mien broke forth in which Spain is «till involved. Coin dent with this movement wus the growing alarm produce fm Cuba by the measures of General Pezuela, which pre- soged a violent solution to the social problem that weighs 80 heavily on the destinies of the country. The occasion seemed most favorable for tho realization of onr enter- pater. This idea wos fortified not only by the com _Saone likely to arise in Europe from the Fastern war, ti Sommenced, but the attitude assumed by the Amertean wevernment in its relations with Spain—an attitude which promised at the icast that with regord to the Ca ban revolution it would restrict its interferenca to the ob- gervance of the laws of neutrality which those who were Bere for the liberty of Cuba did not intend to violate. Thix concurrence of circumstances, by stimulating tho impatience of a portion of the Cubans, ‘brought for the Sirst time discord into our already arranged field of labur, Unfortunately the Junta itself could not preserve the ty reyuisite to ensure a happy result to the enter- prise. Ono portion—either actunted by ity own roctel eonvictions or yielting to the impulses which carricd away the more aMent—began to put in action and pro- vide the indispensable reqnisives for a project of its own, employing for its particular purpose, without the know: Jedge or sanction of the Junta or of the elected chief, the funds and materia! that bad been placed at the dieposal of the latter: regardless of the plan they had agreed upon some tine before, and which had since beon pening, and which only a few days betore they had all vatifiec—uvanimously and wncontitionally ratiiied—and by which the means ond the execution of the plan were and exclusively confided to the chief ehosen to the movement. ‘Tho + ficial exnlanati ich was afterwards nretond- eto te givtn of these ‘Secret “and” i-Giated combinations ra semewhat from this statement; bat even if it were posible to admit it, it would not justify the exceptional and disguised mode by which they aimed to hurry the executicn of a plan already confided to another and sole @irection. ‘The Junta, however, has ubundan’ means to sustain all it asserts. ’ The confidential declarations tande in moments of expansion by one of the partie: to mem- ders of the Junta, and to many others—the organiza and preparagions which were undertaken and divulged # Southern State—the written acknowledgment now in the hands of the chief, by which it appears that this member of the Jua‘a waa working in common with some persons in Cuba to accomolish particular ends—in a word, the Junta bas in its favor a mass of evidence which it will be impossible to invalidate by simplo denial+.

Yet, evon then, without walling the result of this in. portent affair, the treasurer of the Junta adresse! a pri ‘vate letter to the chief, in which one is at a loas Walch to wonder at moet, its inconsistency or its open confession of the «ri'er’s puryoe to act altoge ber upon his own inepirations, and the arrangements which he had made with rome of his frieads in Caba-@ sinister precelent, that only served to confirm the doubts and susplel which had such a fatal influence on af er events.

Not thus the second, which depended on the course of events, and on the views and will of others; and whatever its efforts, the Junta could not control it. 1é must be here observed’ that all the means and material accumulated for the enterprise, were in the hagi$of the ‘Treasurer of the Junta, and the chief exacted We abso- lute delivery ot these eifects to him a# an indispensable cendition of the renewed contract for realizing the en- ter 5 © Junta {s obliged to declare thit, for one reason or another, through want of a good mutual understan scinctimes from an excess of susceptibility arising out of i-considered or badly understood expressions, written and verbal, and from other causee—this condition was not fuldlied in the form and manner expected by the chief. From this arose unconcealed disagreements, with con- stant distrusts and reclamations, which the unccasing effort of the Junta, uor even the conciliatory protestations which were frequently renewed betweca the parties, could extinguish, although the treasurer was then in many ways rendering the cause frequent and eminent services. Most dificult indeed was the porition of the conserva- tive portion of the Junta, m endeavoring, ax it believed 10 be its duty, to smooth away these difficulties and avoid a rupture either with the chief or with the others, which in any case must be pernicious to the enterprise. Near three months passed away in this painful sus- pense, for the Junta could exact nothing from the chief, who ut every appeal referred to the non-fulfilment of one of the most essentin! conditions of the contract, nnd hay- ing no legal recourse on the other party, it had uo other iwenns than thore of persuasion aud friendship to iaduce him to meet this requisition without giviag more room and excuse for the inaction and delay of which the chief was accused, It is very e-rtain that in these elroum- stances a frank, loyal and sincere conduct would, at the least, have lessened the magnitude of the disaster in which weare now involved. “Whatever the reazon—and then nore existed—of the dopreciation which, from cer- tain quarters, was falling upon the chfef and ‘his plans, would an enlightened patrictism counsel the indetinite prolongation of a stace of things from which nothing but evil could emanate? Why did not the opposition at once put itself in the right, and not open the.field for moro delays, and at last, when there was no remedy, for the abandonment of the enterprise? The ample correspondence on these point, preserved in the Secretary’s archives, will some manitest how completely the Junta exhausted its eiforts to conciliate affairs, and to what extent it carried its ab- negation and endurance when it believed it was demanded for the realization of the enterprise, It does not baloag to it to express opinions. but it asserts, and can demon- stiate by authentic documents, that the system of media- tion pursued by the Junta—a course advised by the chicf and recommended by an imperious necessity—as well as iis zealous cxertions to maintain the original plan in ia ix togrity, and to uige it to a successful conclusion, meri\- 1 the aprrobution of all the friends of Cuban iberty. Besides, could this be doubted when the Junta was re- ceiving the most unequivocal evidence of the sanction of its constituents in the ailluence of material aid which they were placing at its disposal ? ‘There was a moment of doubt—a single moment—that endangered the good intelligence which reigned between the patriots of Cuba and their representatives here; but even then, when tho facts were explained, the Cubans were more than ever assured that the majority of tue Junta was laboring to carry out their views and wishes, and confidence was perfectly re-established. It was part of the plan adopted by the chief and by Cuba that the latter should not pronounce before the arrival of the auxiliary forces, and that the interior or- ganizations should be the charge of those who were at the head of the revolutionary labors in the country. In an cvil hour the Junta, at the suggestion of a member of the minority, consented to necopt the services of some Cuben patricts, about to return to their country, wio offered to introduce arms, and even to raise ion, fo those pisces in which organizations were not yet established. is consent, however, was accompanied by an express prohibivion to the parties of insurrectionary attompta, or uy movement whatever, of tat class, until they should recelve directions from here or in Cuba. With this un- derstanding, five or sx commissions were signed—leaving Dlanks fer the names—to be intrusted only to indivi- duals possessing the guarantees of prudence and disere- tion, indispensable to thre safe issue of the project. The author of the motion had charge of filling up the blanks, and of impressing upon the persons he sclected the ne- cersary instructions. Whether these were not given in the spirit and letter of the ayreement, as sono of the Varties admitted befure they left, or whether they were not understood—which fs diiticuk: to believe—it fs corta n that on their arrival in Cuba, ome of thom gave such publicity to their mission that tear, discontent and ¢yn- fusion were scattered among the patriota, weakening the Prestige of the Junta, and disturbing tho concert Which had hitherto’ attended all its relations with its co-lahorers in Cuba. A communication tothe Junta, couched in the moat clear, feeling and ener- getic terms, was the fvuit of this incasure, in which, through a spirit of conciliation, waich the cireumstan es sem d to demand, the Junta had departed from the setilod de ermination not to take wuy step independentof the stipulations of the contract. It could not foresee the p tverted tur that would be given to its acquiescence, und still less the advaniage which would be taken of it to osecnte plans of their own, which now begun to appear all their nukedness. The Junta had not long to wait fr the confirmation of its fears, and to repent still more deeply its want of prevision; for ghile it was sta- toned at the South it heard with astonishment that the Yeung and heroic Lon Francisco Estrampea had salled from New York to Paracoa, charged not only with arms to introd but with a mission to collect what force he could, and provoke a premature and ill-advised inenrcec- tion. His nomination, his instructions, and tue responsibility of the ‘tragic end of this daring patriot, rest not with the Junta, It repels this idea in the fuce of the world, ‘even though it is superrb indantly dented by the explicit and reitecat- ed declarations of the lamented victim. Never, if it had known it, would the Junta have sanctioned an elec which of itself was a violation of the terms and in the agreement; aever would it knowiagly have conse \! «1 to his departure; never would ft have subscribed for i..n, or any one, the instructions and projects intrusted to \ho, in such contradiction to the established contract, and the breach of which was spreading dismay through: out Cube and arousing the then unsuspecting government to increased precautions, The daring, decison and en- thustasin of the unfortmiate .Fstrampes were too well known to the Junta to permit if to select hin tor the discharge ‘of @ misston in its very batye neompnalibls win Whos peilliant endowments, Oo others Then, but not on the Jan, rests the respousi- bility of this’ unelancholy secrifice, and of the evils which fc wed from ft to the causes Eut to return to the operations here, all the effective means which the chiet in his final requisition had in cae] ax indispen able to undertaking the desired move- ment were ready and the Junta had full right to insist that every one should now fnlfil his respective engage- ments, It fs just to say the chief was not deaf to this call, and the preparations he arranged, the important contracts he made, and all the springs he put in motion for the enterpri-e, evinced a determination to act with promytitude, But we must alvo say that what opcurred after this period bears heavily on the chief, for even though some acts which had previously excited distrust were again repeated, it t+ equally true that never had the other party manifested a better dispost fon, or taken more effective measures to remove every cause of dis- pute. Unless secure of this, would the chieé have con- tracted tho-e large responsibilities whieh afterwards ab- sorbed so considerate a portion of the resources of the revolution? Does ft not prove that he self completely tho master of atfairs when he made these imruense sacrifices? In truth he did not always give suitable directions nor provide his agents with the funds mecosaary tor their execution, and these persons were frequently obliz ed to have recourse to the treasurer of the Junta for counsel, assistance, and personal loans, although be had resigned his off.ce and withdrawn from that body. ‘Thus in default of aciive and competent agents the ebief bim- seli perpetunted that intervention, direct or indirect, in the control of the materials and effects ot the mterprise which had been the constant source of the past suspicions and discords. The Junta, however, could not bellevo—nor even now can {: think—that tho hoad of the enterprise lacked in this particular the eapacliy ani resolution which distia- guished all his other operations, A desire to conciliate to which the Junta on its part was always fnelined—and uecensliy or convenience of availing iimeelf of the co- operaiion of one who was rendering yaluable ser sufficiently explains what would otherwise seem culpable nvgligence or an Latentional abandonment. ‘he time fixed for the movement had arrived at last, and it was necessary to use it or suffer enormous loses, through tho ewntracts before alluded to, when the melan- choly tidings came from Hayana, which were seon con- voited into the bloody facts of tle ferocious tyranny of the Spanish ament. In treading this delicate yreund the Junta trusts to the pene ration of every Cuban to comprehend the obligation of thelr reprosenta~ tives here to observe the most prudent reserve on tho wen aud things tha; prepared and consummated those fatal events, Jo return to thetr origin, the Junta has data and docu- ments, which, published at a proper time. will show to what extremes the #imalus of personal ambition and a blind devo fon to their own opinions can hurry men who direct the policy nations, At present it can only be sald that a deplorable nnd fallacipus coincidence helped the iniquious power that rules 4n Cuba to an opporin- nity to satiate its inatinct for blood, to boast of iu fore fight, and of the justice and efficiency of its me and at the same time place itself in a formidable defence. The false declarations of villain loaded with crimos and infumy—testimony which would be re: cdyilized sciety—were the only bases for th city and pereceution with which that government bas agvin stained the history of Spanish domtaation {a America, ‘The Juata solemniy declares before God and the whole world that the horsible pee ject of murder nnd aseassina: with whieh it was pretended the revolution in oar coun try was to be opened, it the basest falsehood of thoe Ulack machinations which carried to the seaffoid the no- ble Spaniard, Don Ramon finto, The whole plan the in- former pretended to reveal, and was seized upon there and proclaimed by @ veoal prose. with all tue additions rversions that fear and malice could inspire, is the ieked and cowardly invention that ever figures ih @ political process, Nevertheless, it has been believed and published. contrary to the evidence of tacts, that che divecvery ot this fetiifons combination was the most di- at oor em ie Ub! that our en mies were correct, for then we should be spared the pairflexylana toms, What is tra fn wll this ts, that Ha lberstiog exyect ion bad landed in the country at that critical m there ean be no doubt it would lave won an ea y ¥ ry inthe midet of the frar and wforten of whieh the ed aa Aeconcerted tyrant gave vo meny evidence ronately, the most im port nt preparations wore not they suf and at this dae che enterp bad the Junta saw successive obstacles arise, which it coal! not obviate, while on the other hand the genoral anxiety increased, and the clamors and demands of the impatient guined new energy.

"Unhappily this was not done; but that the majority of the Junte exhausted every means to accomplish it, is one of those facts which rest on the highest amount of written amd irrefutable proofs. Just then the chief bad cccasion to make a visit to the seat of government, though as yet we must be silent on its ostensible object. \ The Junta must, however, call at- tention to this apparently unimportant incident, for whether by mere idence, or by a more intimute and inexplicable relation, it is connected with the grave oc- currences about to be related, In effect, on the return of the chief from tho capital, the Junta observed, for the tirst time, something re- served and indirect in his language, which it then at- tributed to the natural anxiety of one who foresaw grea’ obstacles to be overcome, but In no manner iinpute ! it to & chonge of sentiment with respect to the urgency nf te work with which he was charged. It coull aot believo this, since, perhaps ever before bad he given vettar pledges of hiv capacity and resolution to accomplish his engogements so soon a3 he shoulii have at Lis imwedia‘e command those meterial means which his agents at tie orth ought, by that time, to have controlled without reference to any other intervention. Unvoresecn and un- avoidable accidents had retarded them, and the Jun'a now began to fear xome mi-fortune. While the chie!, on his part, recommenced thore doubis an't distrusts, wii bh he appeared to cherish more than ever, al:hough the cause of this prolonged anxiety and disturbance had at last disappeared, This was the decisive moment. Now was broaght to the test the forecast, the acutencss, and the ene'gy of him who had assumed the responsibility of carrying liberty to Cuba, and it is easier to imagine thun describe the anxiety with which the Junta awaited the measures the chief should adopt, when it learned with surprise, through a written communication, afterwards verbally confirmed and amplified, thut under pretext of legal ac countabilities—which had never assailed him bef re, ant which he could readily have pro-arranged—he refused to take possession of the effects; that he excused him-elf from meeting a slight pecuniary responsibility for which he ought to have provided when he \ransmitted his orders, or had the courage to accept, since it only re- quired his personal guaranty for an insignificant portion that he excused himself on the plea of new fears of the reliability of the expected delivery of the effec's by one who had already complied with his engagements, and who Wax at that time giving the moxt unequivocal proofs of disinterested generosity and abnegation; that he shrank from the duty of meeting the obligations contrac’ed by Lis orders and agreements, and put upon the Junta this charge, although he had in his own hands the totaltiy of the funds which Cuban patriotiym had renewed, wi h augmentations, as many times as he had changed and ins creased his estimates; and finally that he declared his i tention to indefinitely procrastinate the enterprise, a-- signing for it his intimate conviction that it woul me! the most active and determined opposition fram the Arnv- rican government—as it he had not repeatedly asserted that should never bean obstacle to detain him—as if then, or ev-r, there was any thought of violating the law—or as if it was probable that any administration would at any time give its consent. ‘The Junta cannot understand how the chief can vinli cate this sudden de-ertion, or this unexpected change in what was but yosterday a fixed and definitive resolution, but it is certain that his conduct at that solemn and cvi- tical moment was the destruction of all our cheris ied hopes, that it annihilated an tmmense quantity of re- sources accumulated at a heavy cost; for the third time reduced the salvation of Cuba ‘toa problem and place! the Junta in the most desjerate of all the painful post- tions it has had to encounter in the discharge of its la- borious mission.

Is it for this the sacrifices were stimulated and the hercism excited which the Cuban revoluttoniate dis- played on such a grand scale and so fruitlessly ¥ Will the chief perchance seek to vindicate himself by appealing to the dilterences, oppositions and embarrasements which doubtless were thrown in his way? Why, if he had not the talent and rosolution to overpower them, did he not stop the undertaking at the proper time, instead of wait ing until there remained not the shadow of a hope that tue Cubans would owe their liberty to the courage aud 1 adership of an American chief?” Tho abnegation and enthusiasin of a Lopez was not demanded of him, but some sincerity and consisteney was ceriainly to be ex- Jected of the inan who for eighteen months had comsen- trated on himyelf the hopes aad expectations of a people worthy of a better fate, In the presence of inierests and ‘considerations of such magnitude the Junta will nut pavse to reproach him on its own account with the delusive confidence in which he mufatuined it tothe last moment, nor with the steady support and faithful co-operation which it unchangeabl leat him, to the injury of ite credit Mg ped wih a r- tion of its compatriots, What could, or ought, the Junta to bave done in this criical emergency?

THE C FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. MONEY MARKET. Monpay, September 10—6 P. M. There was an active market for Erie to-day at a slight improvement in prices. The sales amouated to five thousand shares, principally on time. Reading was freely offered at the first board at lower prices, and closed at a decline. Galena and Chicago leads the list in market value, as the re- tuins do every other road in the country, in con” parative monthly earnings. Within the past two years, when the receipts were not one half what they now are, this stock sold at 142. 145 per cent. It now sells at 115, with a surplus of fifteen per cent on its capital in hand at the commencement of the present fiscal year, from the net earnings of the year previous. The quotations carrent at the first board to-day, compared with those ruling at the close on Saturday, show a decline in Nicaragua ‘Transit of 4 per cent; Reading, }; and an advance ia Erie of 4 per cent; Galena and. Chicago, 2. Cleve- land and Toledo and Cleveland and Pittsburg are entirely in the hands of speculators, who keep up prices among themselves. Every share of stock oi- fered they ure compelled to buy, and the load wil! ove of these days break some of their bucks, or pockets. There has not been an outside order in the street to buy either of these stocks for weeks. Nicaragua Transit is becoming better distributed. Seme of the management who have held thousands of shares, have considerably reduced their supply The prospect of an arrangement with the Pacitic company is improving. There is no obstacle of any importance, but it will take some days to dispose of all the details, There was to-day a transaction in the Hampshire Coal and Iron Company stock. This compauy ha, been in operation fora few months, and we learn from the weekly reports of the Cunberland coat field that they have mined and sent to market their full share of the prodact of the region. Their busi vess is skilfully and prudently managed aad asa natural consequence has been lucrative. The com- pany has wisely hept aloof from operations upo: the stock board—an example worthy of imitation. Within the last few days they have sold a portion cf their outside lands, about 800 acres in extent, fo $3,000 cash—an example we recommend to so 1 other companies in that region. This leaves thc apon which all of its roads, mines and impro: ments are situated The capital is $2,000,000. Thr actual cash cost of the stock to the original subseri- ‘ers, interest included, is $25 a share. After the adjournment of the board, the followin sales of bonds and stocks were made at auction by A. HL. Nicolay:— £5,€00 Cleveland & Toledo R.R. Incomes, Int. alded. 8974 4,000 Chieugo & Miss. R.R.
