This is because the reporters do not haveaccess to the official documents, and are obliged to base their reportsupon rumors or uncertain information. When, however, a report comes direct from the Government, there is nohearsay in the matter. Each department of the Government has thedocuments relating to its business, and the reports it issues are madefrom the actual letters that have passed between countries--despatchesand diplomatic documents which no outsider can ever hope to see. Here, then,... is Mr. Gage's report on filibustering. He says that during two years and a half only six American vessels aresaid to have successfully landed filibustering expeditions from theUnited States in Cuba. Three foreign vessels are said to have beensuccessful in the same effort. With the vessels referred to it is said that a dozen harbor tugs, threeor four lighters, a few small steamers, and about a dozen small sloopsand schooners have been associated. That only six American vessels out of all our large merchant navysucceeded in reaching Cuba is, the Secretary thinks, a proof of thelaw-abiding spirit of the American people.
