There was considerable disappeint-
nent shown vt the result. but, aside
fran the delay 10 the Leon, no untoward
results are apprehsndsd.
The Horsa, the officers Of which are In
like trouble Ia Philadelphia. cleared
Saturday for Port Antonio, jamaica, and
about o 80 D m, sailed down the Della.
ware Early yesterday morning q tug,
thought to be the Active, ran into the
ocean pier At Cape May, left four large
yawl boats there, and steamed away.
Soon Afterwards = steamer ran in from
the eastward, and lay to eff the pier,
whom a shore boat toek out the four
yawls. and four strangers, aud landed
them on the steamer. The steamer came
down the Delaware and Is believed TO be
the Horsa. although pilot Eldrldge, who
brought her down, and the men who
landed the yaWls aboard her could not be
Induced to say anything.
Keeper Sooy, OF Cold Spring Life
saving Station, was aroused At daylight
by the phtroling surfman OF his jurisdic
tion. who pointed ont to him the strange
craft close IN shore. When she headed
for the oosan pier he hsstensd there also,
fearing an attempt was going to be made
te violate the UnitedS States rsvenue laws.
He noticed tho four strangers, saw them
embark. and WAS an eye witness 70 the
entire transaction. He will make re
port TO the Department Of what he ssw
and the little he heard while the steamer
lsy With steam blowing of, waiting Till
the four boats and fsur psssengess were
put on board
A swartby Cuban, who was left On the
strand this morning by tbs supposed
6libusterlng expedition. watched the
steamer tili she disappeared below the
southern horizsr. HD let fall later some
words which lea to the belief that the
steamer toek In arms and ammunition
last night OF the Cape May shore from .
mysterious schooner. which could be
plainly seen all night under the bright
beams Of the fall neon BY the surfmsn
OF Osld Spring Staten. The belief here
is that the heavy yawls which the craft
tssk frsm here will be loaded with war
like stores fron her hold. aud, manned
} by daring crews. will be set adrift In the
Mona passage to 1sin the insurgent
Cuban army.
