FILIBUsrERs CAPTURED.
Twenty Mon Lodged In Jail at Wilmington
Under That ChsrRe.

WILMINGTON, Del, August 30 =
Twenty men were brought here to-day
from Penn's Grove. N. j., and lodged in
jail, charged with violation of the neu-
trality laws In having organized hos
tile expedition to Cuba. They are still
here In custody # the United States
authorities, and will be srraigned ON
Monday.
II has been suspected for seyerak
months that Cuban fllibusterinR party
was at work in this city. Tonight It
10 learned that they have had quarters
at 7l7 Market street here, and that at
least one or more o: the expeditions to
Cuba have been dispatched from this
city. On Monday the United States
authorities here were notified by Detec-
tive Gaylord, Of the Pinkerton agency
In Philadelphia, that another expedition
was about to take it's departure.
Detective Gaylord and several of his
associates came the next day. United
States Deputy Marshal Hewsen H.
Lannen and several assistants, together
with the police authorities have been
keeping close watch ever since. They
noticed number Of suspicious charao-
tere lettering about the cigar store in
the neigh borhood of the headquarters
OF the Junta and discovered that one of
these had gone to the office of the
Charles Warner Company yesterday and
chartered the tug Taurus, to carry
freight to Penn's Grove.
They Swallowed tho tug until she LETT
her wharf in this city at midnight last
night. 1t was known beforehand by the
authorities that the alleged filibuste ring
party was to wait at PENIS Grove for q
steamer to come from Philadelphia to
take them to Cuba. The name of this
steamer Is not known, but it Is learned
that she was not expected to arrive at
Penn's Grove until midnight to night.
Inc pdrsufng party, therefore, per-
mltted the men they were watching to
load their freight and embark their pas
eLgers without molestation and saw
them sail in the direction Of Penn's
Grove, whittier some OF the detectives
had been sent to await Developments.
AT 3 O'Clock this afternoon Marshal
Lannen with several assistants, De-
techve Gaylord and two associates and
squad or police boarded the tug and
sailed for PENIS Grove.
There they found the party who had
chartered the Taurus, lounging about
tae railroad station, and put them under
arrest. When they overhauled the
freight in the hull of the Taurus they
found that 1t consisted OF twenty seven
cases OF arms and large quantity of
ammunition, provisions, clothing, etc
All of this was seized and the party re-
turned to Wilmington.
None of the prisoners has been per-
mitt.d to make any statement, and it is
not thought that they will be until they
are arraigned in court. An expedition
similar to the one which came to grief to :
day put to sea in the tug, Bertha, about
three weeks ago, and 1t is understood
that its members we're safely landed in
Cuba.
