FOR The INSURGENTS?
$4,000 Cartridges Arrive in Ha-
vana from This Port
They Were Packed In Casks and
Labelled "TalIow."
Ward Line Officials Much Exercised
Over tho Shipment.

The news from Havana, which reached
here to-day. that $4,000 cartridges, which
had been shipped from New York, had
been seized by the officials at the former
port. caused considerable excitement
among Spaniards and Cubans generally.
1t was at once concluded that the
Cubans were again preparing for a re-
volt, and that the seized ammunition
was some of that sent on by the revo-
lutionary leaders who are located here.
The cartridges referred to were sent
to Havana by the Ward line steamship
Yumuri, which arrived there on Aug.
2s. They were packed in nine casks
and labelled "Tallow." The customs
officials, however, became suspicious.
and on opening the casks, instead of
tallow, the cartridges were found. The
Yumuri was searched thoroughly. but
nothing else OF an alarming nature was
discovered
Commodore. Hughes. who directs the
business of the Ward line at this port
when seen at his Office, ll3 Wall street,

mat he had received a despatch from
Havana similar to that outlined above.

revolutionists. or whether IL was a
smuggling scheme in order to cheat the
customs officials at Havana out of the
duty.

At the Office of the Spanish Consul
General II was stated that no official

reason 1t was regarded as case Of
smuggling. and there was no political
significance attached to II.
1t was further stated that there IL no

ACCUSE THEIR CAPTAIN.
Crow of the Prince Say They Were
Deceived and Nisusrd

Eleven swarthy Italians, composing
the crew Of the steamer Prince, OF
Newcastle England. which arrived here
few days ago from Brazil, and Is now
in dry dock in South Brooklyn, have
complained to the British Consul tina t
they have been imposed upon. deceived
and cruelty treated.
They shipped from Genoa last year
with the captain OF the steamship Prince
under contract for two years, with the
understanding that their voyages would
consist OF trips TO and from the West
indies to New York. After sailing from
Genoa the men discovered that the
vessel was going to Brazil. The men
objected to this change in the pro.
gramme. owing to the fact that yellow
fever prevailed In the Brazilian ports
The captain promised them not to
go to Brazil. but despite his promises
the Prince visited Rio Janeiro and
other ports, and then returned to New
YORK with n cargo of rubber and other
tropical products. Upon the arrival here
OF the vessel the crew demanded their
wages and asked to he discharged. but
were refused because they had signed
an agreement for two years. This
prompted them to call on the British
Consul for assistance.
The men told terrible tales OF cruelty
on shipboard. They claim that the en-
tire. voyage from Rio Janeiro to New
York they were fed simply on sailed
beef and tea. They complained that the
captain treated them very harshly. and
on several occasions took one OF the
older men by the throat and choked
hin MIN; The crew now desire to leave
another trip to Brazil.
The British Consul promised the men
that he would send for the captain Of
The Prince, and make thorough inves-
tigation OF the case.
