SEIZURE OF THE LARK.
The Cutter Winona Captures Little Schooner Filled With Cubans-Released
 on Bond.

Jacksonville, Fla. Sept. 17.-A cable gram to the Times Union from Key West, Fla, says:
 During the last four days intense ex- citement has been going on in this city over the report that filibustering expe- dition had started from this island. The reports differed as to the number of men. Some claim as many as 200 had left, while others, who claimed to krow, said only 100 had gone.
 Since the report custom officers and the captains of the revenue cutters Winona and Merrill and Mclean, under instruc- tions of Deputy Collector Knight, have not left a stone unturned to capture the expedition. Both day and night force of the custom house have been patrollng the island at night and doing their duty during the day. Deputy Knight has. with crews from the different cutters, pa troled the shores around the entire is land in the launches furnished by the cutters.
 Yesterday, believing that the party had effected a landing on one of the near keys, the cutter Winona was dispatched to Pine key, where she arrived this morn ing, and found the schooner Lark of nine tons off Key West. When first sighted there were but two passengers on deck, but Captain Abbey of the Winona, believ- ing that he had struck the right vessel, sent on board Lieutenant Sill, who, upon opening the schooners hatches, found thirty-five Cubans secreted in the hold. A captains name appears on the license of the Lark, but he was not on board. One Cuban, named Reyas, was acting as master. Reyas, not being able to give a satisfactory explanation why the un- usually large number of persons were on board his vessel the Lark was taken in tow by the Winona and brought to this port and turned over to the customs au- thorities. There were no arms or ammu- milton on board. This fact will no doubt make it difficult to make a case against the parties.
 The Winona, with her prize, is lying in the stream. and all the wharves and wa ter front are crowded with spectators. Several wealthy Cubans have been wait ing around the United States court house door prepared to sign any bonds that may be required for their brave but un- fortunate, countrymen. By those who are up on International law, it is claimed that nothing can be done with the cap tives, as the statutes will not apply to this case. The thirty Cubans arrested were landed this afternoon and carried before Commissioner Otto. who released them under $50 bonds each to appear be- fore him Thursday. Cabs Reisco and M M. Conordo went surety on each bond. The court was packed with sympathizers.
 Cubans here claim that the party was on a picnic.

was encountered in the shape OF II
heap of debris piled on the tracks to

from violence by the sight of giealn-'

by the wife OF the new mOtorman, an

perfect tumult of applause, and his
toast was drunk with three cheers.

Tonight we are on common ground
and there is no sea between US. There
are some things Ii is impossible to
divide and he repeated the Bible
story of the judgment of Solomon
over the dispute OF two women, both
claiming to be the mother Of the same
child. He then proceeded: Gentle
mer. 1t could not be. We cannot be

they will ever be permitted to die. I
will answer for my kindred and our
