FUNNY FILIBuSTERS.

How Their Operations are Mana ged to

"A Coincidence, To Say the Least.
WASHINGTON, d. c., November ga
naval officer here, in talking to Star re.
porter concerning the reported Cuban
lilibustcrlng expedition, advanced a
curious theory about how and why these
expeditions are organized. He said:
"They never organize the expeditions
In the summer when it is too hot for
Christians to live in that country, or at
any time when naval vessels are apt to
be In dock for repairs. They always
take place when it is convenient for as
sistance to be sent to Key West. Now,
l'll tell you the secret of the whole
thing. Those alleged expeditions are in
sligated by the merchants, and they
don't amount to anything, The mer-
chants make subscriptions and hire
some ragged, worthless fellows TO
begin drilling at night in
out of the way places, and TO pretend to
be plotting in secrecy. The news is
flashed over the wires that a formidable
fllbustering expedition is being prepared
and an appeal for aid to crush it Is made;
the vessels of tho North Atlantic squad.
ron are sent down for that purpose, and
the whole matter blows over aud amounts
to nothing. The end in view has been
gained, though. The vessels 1remalr
in port for some tine, and
hundred thousand dollars Of
more have been expended BY
the officers in making purchases and
in supplying the ship. The fiibustererl
were all imaginary. Now, mark what
say: These expeditions are never gotter
up at time when assistance can not BIZ
sent from the navy. The statistics II
the matter will bear me out in this.
am firmly convinced that every one o
these expeditions are originated by th
resident merchants for their own bene
fit"
"This theory is confirmed" continue,
the officer, "by the fact that all thes
filibustering expeditions could be put
stop to by the Treasury Department
The collector at The port has all tn
power necessary, and the revenue ma
