banos look upon the expedition under
Lopez as purely piratical in its nature

scurrilous attacks, not only on those en-

other hand, our people have not been be-

Their sympathies were with an expedr-

ure of that expedition, owing in part to
the want of cooperation oLihe people,
has led our citizens to doubt whether that
people did in fact desire the aid of foreign
forces to effect <heir liberation. And the
expedition and its crack-brained leader,
would have been forgotten ere this, but
for the seizure of American ships on I

ment of American citizens. But the con-
duct of rhe Spanish authorities in this
