Mr. Boutwell, Secretary of the Treasury, to Mr. Moore, collector.

[Telegram.]

Washington, June 24, 1869.

Henry D. Moore, Esq.,
Collector of Customs, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania:

I have reason to believe that a vessel with armament and an unusually large number of men is in your port, with the design to leave to-day or to-morrow in aid of the insurgents of Cuba. Name of vessel not known, nor other particulars. Have search made, and report.

GEO. S. BOUTWELL.
