The Last of the Filibusters-CaptureO of Another
TuebOat-Seizure Of SlOOps Laden with War
From he Ny Times Of this morning.
The formidable expedition for the invasion OF
Cuba has come to an inglorioqs end through the
vigilance and activity OF Marshal Barlow and Dis
rict Attorney Pierrepont. AS announced in yester-
days Times, the former officer despatched revenue
cutters in pursuit of the vessels which remained of
the Long Island coast subsequent to the capture OF
the two tugboats on Tuesday evening. The result
OF the pursuit was eminently successful il having
terminated in the capture of the steamtug Jona-
than Chase, together with two sloops containing
the munitions OF war Of the entire expedition. Only
very brief particulars Of the capture OF the prizes
have reached this city, but they are conclusive
enough to warrant the statement that the movement
for the dcliverance Of Cuba has been effectually
Killed, and that the money and time OF the Cuban
Junta have been expendedin in vain. With the seizure
OF the Chase over two hundred llibusters were put
hors de com bat there being that number OF men on
board OF her. She discovered by the revenue
cutter Mahonng in the vicinity OF Gardeners Island,
and it was ascertained that her passengers formed

doubtabe leader was not caught with his forces it is
suppo sed that he deserted them and fed into Con-

return to this city disguised in such amanner as to
escape detection.

their hlibustering experiences, and wishing them
selves safely back at home. During Sunday and
Monday they underwent great suffering and priva-

steamer Catherine Whiting, which carried provisions

they viii join their comrades now in confinement at
the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
The most important triumph for the Marshal was
the capture OF the sloops WnOna and Fanny by the
revenue cutter Campbell with large quantity OF
war material on board. The sloops were employed
the purpose OF carrying arms, ammunition, and
equipments for the expedition. Their cargoes con-
sisted OF six Founders to go with the cavalry six 12
Founders and four 90 Founders Parrott guns; also
1000 Remington breech-lOading rifles, 100000 rounds
Of cartridges, equipments for 400 cavalry together
with 5000 uniforms for infantry-the latter consist
ing OF blue bouses, grey pants, and felt hats. The
sloops were first seen by the revenue cutter the
Sound opposite Milford, Connecticut. She gave
chase TO them, and they ran in shore towards the
latter town. One of the sloops managed TO unhurden
| herself of a portion Of her cargo at Milford Wharf,
but what she disembarked was seized and placed in
charge OF a crew for the cutter.
The news OF the capture has been officially tele-
graphed 10 Washington, with request that the Mar
sha at Milford be instructed to turn the vessels
to the officers from New York. They will probably
be brought to this city tomorrow.
