at Philadelphia. These forty, 1t IL claim
ed, represented the full strength OF the
expedition. The Horsa cleared from
Philadelphia for Port Antonio. Jamaica
Upon her arrival In Cuban waters. she
attempted TO land the members or the
expedition upon the eastern coast OF the
island. IL was attempted TO put the NIL
busters aboard In boats.
While thus engaged Spanish gunboat
hove in sight. whereupon the Horsa I'M
med!ately steamed away in the dircc-
ton OF Jamaica. Upon her arrival at
Kingston, the Horsa was seized by the
British authorities, as reported in these
dispatches.
The fact was developed to-day that tw"
Of the leaders Of the Horsa expedition
Francisco Garlic and Jose Maria Aguirre
are naturaliZed American citizens. Iney
were arrested at HaSan at the out
break Of the rebellion. but were released
at the request Of the consui-general. MI
Williams. They claimed at that time TO
have no connection with the rebellion.
and their release was granted because Of
their American citizenship.
1t Is stated to-day that they were-then
in active sympathy with the rebellion
and that tins last act is the third time
that they have allied themselves with the
enemies Of the Spanish Government.
Strong denials are given to-day 10 the
statement that this expedition had its
origin in Canada or that any or IT'S men,
bers started from that country. The
entire affair was planned ia New YORK.
1t is also denied that the insurgents
carried with them any considerable num-
Der Of arms. IL is not doubted that eaVh
had whatever was necessary ior him. Dul
no more.
Suspicion was directed TO the Horsa
upon her arrival AT Philadelphia several
weeks ago. II is customary for incoming
vessels 10 employ the same pilot upon al
irving and departing. When the horsa
brought up at her landing the captain
paid the pilot So, which - the iniou'''
he would have received had he also take
the vessel out TO sea. and he was nouhed
that his services when the outward Noy-
age began would not be- needed. Tnis az
once led to the belief that the vessel haa
some hidden purpose in pursuing inns
course and her movements from 'n"'
time were carefully followed.
