NEW YORK. June 2l.-The World says
General Quesada is moving vigorously to-
ward Cuba. his first expedition OF 1910
men, chiefly enlisted in Brooklyn, Jer-
sey City, Coney Island and Perth Amboy,
have gone in two companies for the south.
The main body went by the Pennsyl'
vania road to Norfolk, Va, and from
there were ticketed TO Tampa. Tampa
will be- the temporary base OF operations
until the troops are conveyed to the
place OF final departure and embark for
Cuba. The purpose of General Quesada
present mission in the south is now more
fully revealed. Besides extending the Gu
ban system of raising troops throughout
the gulf states. General Quesaua made
careful investigation of the reported viola
tons of the neutrality law. The result IS
several petitions destined for the u nited
States government protesting against the
wholesale usurpAtion of the American
rights inside the three-miie shore limit.
The most form id able protest, 1t Is SAID,
has been sent to the state department,
and emtxodies the facts concerning the
alleged Illegal boarding of vessels and
yachts on the Florida coast
TAMPA. Fla, June 2l.-The following
is said to have been an appeal MAIDS by
the Americans in Cuba:
..As we are without any American con-
sui here the government officials say that
Sangusilly and Aguirre, A mefican citizens
will rot il. the dungeons, for they will
keep trumping up charges OF imaginary
crimes to keep them in their cells. The
truth is that for the dignity of the A IN
erican government these two subjects
ought to be released. as there is nothing
that can stand ross'examlnaton against
these two unfortunate victims OF Spanish
and American red tape. Citizens of the
United States, send us an American to
act as consul that will not be afraid to
look at the Spanish Captain. General $
false face. We are without protection"
Today's additional news OF Marti's
death caused the hosting of Cuban flags
at half mast.
WASHINGTON, June 2l.-It is not i'm
probable that an international commits.
sion between the United States and Spain
will result in the urging OF the Mora
claim against Spain. This claim has
brought up several others and the situa-
tion is the same as that at the time the
United States and Great Britain settled
their conflicting claims by the Alabama
com mission and France and this country
came to an accord by the commission of
1881. Spain has an offset in the claim S
for the invasion of Florida when it was
Spanish colony, and damages to Spanish
warships during the civil war. In addi
ton to this there is prospect that the
Cuban revolution will resuslt in further
claims. 1t cannot be learned that nego-
tiations for a commission have as yet been
opened.
BOSTON, June DE. P. Nc Donough,
of this city, who has Just returned from
lengthy stay in Cuba, states that he has no

rectiop. MI. McDonough also stated
that he was informed that $40 900. 600 of
American money is now at stake at San
tiago through lack OF American war ves-
sells. McDonough also declared that he
knew Marti was dead beyond the shadow
OF doubt.
MADRID. June Eft is officially de.
MED that Gomez. the Cuban insurgent
leader, has been captured.
