A NAVAL OFFICER HAS A CURIOUS THEORY
ABOUT HOW AND WHY THEY ARE ORGANIZED.
II see another Cuban fillbustering expedition
is being fitted out in Florida" said a ma
val officer to a STAR reporter. "Thats just
organize those expeditions in the summer, when
it's too not for Christians TO live in that cOun-
try, or at any time when naval vessels are apt
to be in dock for repairs. They always take
place when it's convenient for assistance to be
sent to Key West. Now, I'll tell you the secret
are instigated by the merchants, and they don't
amount to anything. The merchants 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
secresy. The news is flashed over the wires that
prepared, and an appeal for aid to crush it is
made. The vessels Of the North Atlantic squad
ron are sept down for that purpose, and the
whole matter blows over and amounts to
nothing. The end in view has been gained
though. The vessels remain In port for some
have been expended by the officers in making
purchases and in supplying the ships. The fill
busters were all imaginary. Now, mark what
say. These expeditions are never gotten up at
q time when assistance cannot be sent from the
navy. The statistics in the matter will bear me
out in this. am firmly convinced that every
one of these expeditions are originated by the
resident merchants for their own benefit"
"This theory Is confirmed, continued the
officer, "by the fact that all these flibustering
expeditions could be put a stop to by the Treas
ury Department. The collector at the port has
rine vessels could do much better service than
the naval vessels. But they want the naval
vessels; and they generally manage to get them
uselessly sent down."
