CUBAN F1LIBUSTERS.
An Armed Expedition Leaves Key West for
Cuba-Reyenue Cutters in Pursuit.

KEY WEST, April Reliable reports say the
schooner Shakers left last night with General
Aguero and twenty men well armed, for Cuba.
The revenue cutter Dix left this morning in pur-
suit The Spanish consul is aboard the Dix,
There is great excitement here.
A Washington dispatch says: Information
originating with the Spanish consul at Key
West was received by Secretary Folger, through
State department channels, on last Satur-
day evening, to the effect that Cuban revolu-
tionary expedition was being organized at Key
West by Aguero; that he had collected one
hundred well-armed men and stores and explo-
sives and the expedition might be expected to de-
part from our shores at an early day. Orders
were thereupon telegraphed to the commanders
OF the revenue cutters Governor Dix, supposed
to be at Key West and George ). Boutwell,
at Savannah, to take steps Immediately
to prevent any such violation of law; and in
structons were also telegraphed two special
agents of the Treasury Department-one in
Florida, the other in Georgia-to proceed to Key
West and assist in any needed investigation.
The Dix, however, had left Key West Satur-
day for Cedar Keys, 300 miles distant, and the
message to her commander reached him only on
Monday, when he arrived at Cedar Keys. The
Dix then started back Immediately, and nothing
has since been heard from her at the department;
but no doubt is entertained that she started in
pursuit of the filibustering schooner stated in
the press dispatch from Key West early this
morning. The alleged delay in starting was
from the necessity of coaling after the cruise to
Cedar Keys. As the Dix is under steam and capa-
BILE of making ten or eleven knots an hour, it
is believed she will easily overhaul the small
sailing schooner, unless the latter diverts from
the usual course to Cuba and evades pursuit by
temporary concealment along our shores. The
Boutwell,, which was put in order at Savannah,
on last Sunday, and left that port on Sunday
evening, has probably by this time reached a po-
sition to aid in the work of search and capture,
but nothing has been heard from her since she
departed Our government was similarly in
formed several months ago, that filibustering
expedition against Cuba was said to be organic
ing at New Orleans and several of our revenue
cutters have been continuously on the watch for
it ever since. but without discovering any at
tempt at evasions of law"

A NEW POLITICAL MOVEMENT.
Southern Republicans Said To Be ReOrganiz-
ing on a New Basis.

ATLANTA, Ca, April 2.-The new White Mans
party organized by Republicans who have grown
tired of subordination to the negro, is develop
ing into movement of considerable political i'm
portance. The participation in this movement
of United States Marshal Longstreet, Jonathan
Norcross, ex-Congressman Freeman, and men of
that character, stamps it as a movement that
will make itself felt. An address issued to-day
says:
''These negroes thrust themselves forward as
a matter OF right to the leadership of the party,
and being incompetent, they destroyed its power
for good This action of ignorant negroes placed
them in a ridiculous light. Assuming control of
the Republican party under Governor Bullock,
it has gone to the dogs year by year The Dem
ocratc press should be held accountable for the
evil effects of educating the negro up to the
point of claiming the leadership.
This is a white mans country, and white men
will control it Any negro who pushes himself
to the front is unwise, and any white man who
urges him to do it is an enemy of his country
The negroes are failures as voters, as well as
failures as officeholders'
The address then announces the purpose of
signers to the reorganization. 1t says:
1--WE have tried negroes for sixteen years for
party leaders, and find them totally inefficient
They are not reliable voters They are incom-
petent as leaders, and have no capacity for or
ganization. We can never succeed as a party
until we have thrown off the incubus of negro
leadership.
''There are numbers of counties in this State in
which the negroes outnumber the whites and
count for nothing at the ballot box. The whisky
bottle or money has more influence with them
than political ~inciple The first thing resorted
to to control negros vote is the whisky bottle
If that does not succeed threats accomplish the
purpose

PERU, April 2-The North Indiana Confer
ence of the Methodist Episcopal Church con
vened in annual session, at O'clock A. NJ,
Bishop Cyrus D. Foss presiding The session
promises to be an unusually large and interest
ing one, as this is the year for the meeting of
the lay electoral conference, who will elect dele
gates to the General Conference, which meets at
Philadelphia next month
The committee on examination met yesterday
morning, and had before them, during the day
candidates for'admission on trial, for admission
into full connection, and for elders and deacon's
orders.
G. w. Church. of Anderson, preached an able
and interesting sermon, on Monday evening"
and, on Tuesday evening, after a brief intreduc-
tory address by A. Greenman, of Marion, the
sacrament of the Lords supper was admins
tered to large number of ministers and lay
men, who crowded the auditorium of the NJ. E.
Church
The conference sessions proper are held in the
commodious Baptist Church, which was kindly
opened for that purpose
reading of the I'd chapter of I'd Timothy by the
Bishop. The congregation united in singing the
first hymn beginning
80 for thousand tongues to sing
My great Redeemer's praise"
After the hymn, the Bishop led the congrega-
ton in fervent, comprehensive prayer for Gods
blessing on the conference and the church.
Charles G. Hudson, of Kokomo was for the
sixth time elected secretary of the conference.
NJ. Mahin, of New Castle, and H. n Herrick, Of
Winchester, were elected assistant secretaries
After the appointment of various committees,
the list of effective elders was called, and the
character of each of them was passed. S. J.
NIcElwee, of the Michigan conference, and Dr.
Vincent secretary of the Tract Society and Sun
day school Union, were introduced to the confer
ence. Dr. Vincent briefly addressed the
conference, and as he always does,
enlisted the earnest attention of
his hearers. Urging upon the ministers the ne
cessity of earnestness in their work, he related
an incident of an enthusiastic minister, who, be-
coming fired with his theme, called out in the
midst of his discussion, 90, Lord, hold me to-
gether till tell this thing"
The reports will show more than the usual in
crease in the membership of the church. The
question of the election of delegates to the Gen
eral Conference is one that always excites con
siderable attention. But this year, while there
are doubtless many who are anXiously waiting
and hoping that they may be the choice of their
brethren to represent them in the grand council
of the church, there is but little that seems to
border on methods of politicians the eve of
important elections.
