Costello, secretary of the treasury of Cuba, the sending of aid to Insurgents has been progressing more rapidly than ever. There sailed Saturday from of.f Cape Delaware the steamer Ostera with an expedition of fifty men and a large quantity of arms and ammunition.

She Is so built'that she can easily make 12 knots an hour, and It is rlfiimed cari show her heels to most of the warships now patrolling the Island. The expedition is in command of Captain Edward Arduo, who served through the ten years war.

With him are a number of wealthy Cubans of New York and other parts of the United States. It is anticipated that this vessel will reach the north coast of Cuba at a point north of Havana next Sunday, where it will be met by a detachment from General Gomez's army and safe conveyance given to the interior of the Island. Wit.i the expedition are one Maxim and two Galling guns. News has been received here that within the last ten days twelve vessels have ar- 'rlved In Cuba from this country with uoo cartridges, a large amount of powder anil dynamite and 1000 rifles. One of the local junta said to-day: "As there Is no pressing need for men at this' time, no regular expeditions will be sent to the inland.

Generals Maceo and Gomez have under their Immediate command in the provinces of Havana and Matanzas over 10,000 men. who are without any arms except the machete. Ho could easily get as many m.iro if he could arm thorn." No such steamer as the Ostera. is mention etl in marine reference hooka and she is unknown In shipping circles here. Some HlKiiiflcance is attached to this fact whon It Is recalled that the identity of the Inglewood, an alleged Nova Scotia steamer, which sailed from New Ycrk last week with arms for Cuba, Is equally unknown.

Imparclale to-day credits the story published by the Heraldo resterday saying that Mr. Hannls Taylor, United State? minister here, has addressed a curt npto to the Spanish government demanding explanation of an address delivered before a geographical society by Senor Canovas, who commanded the caravel sent by Spain to the Columbian opposition.

In this speech Senor Canovas gave his im- iressions of his visit to the United States langimge which Minister Taylor thought was offensive to the United Statc-s government. The Imparcialo asserts that Mr. Tayor's demand was couched In' hurtful language. "It seems to the acme-of sensitiveness," the "Our International relations show greater grievances than this." that the demand Is entirely unprecedented, as the geographical society before the address was made not an official body, and concludes ironically: "There is no doub't that this development of international law may be introduced by the United States Into any case. It is very striking testimony of the relations existing between the two governments." Madrid, Feb.

Beranger, min- ster' of marine, has made an investigation as to the circumstances of the address delivered by Senor Canovas.

He concluded with the remark that in America everything is sacrificed to the almighty dollar and that business and the materialities of life" drown all noble sentiment. Passed Second Rending. London. Feb. Chouse of commons to-day passed the second reading of the bill Introduced by Sir A.

Westminster Gazette 1 this atternoon urges the marquis of Salisbury to reply quickly to the American proposition in regard to a joint American and British conciliation commission, saying.

"There can be no doubt as to what the reply would be to a minister who would set his back against arbitration. We are free to accept the conciliation which America proposes, and the only possible hitch Is the possible objection of Venezuela, to the matter being taken out of her hands and Great Britain and the United States treating It as a question among themselves. For us there Is a positive advantage in being vis-a-vis the United States and not Venezuela. If America ts claiming- the dispute as her own she must also assume the reasonable and consequential liability of going bail for Venezuela. We, at least, have nothing to complain of."
