1t has been suspected for several
months that a Cuban tilibustering par
ty was organizing In this city. To-day
1t was learned that they had headquar-
ters at III Market street, and that at
least one il not more expeditions to
Cuba have been dispatched from that

neighborhood of the headquarters and
discovered many OF these had gone to
the offices OF the Charles Warner COM
pany yesterday and chartered the tug
Tauris to carry freight to Penn's Grove.
They shadowed the tug until she left
her wharf In this city Mt midnight. 1t
was known beforehand by the authori-
ties that the alleged filibustering party
was to wait at Penn's Grove for q
steamer to come from Philadelphia to
take them to Cuba. The name of this
steamer Is not known. but 1t was

sent to await developments.

boarded the tug Ledia and sailed to
Penn's Grove. There they found the
party who had chartered the Tauris
lOunging about the railroad station and
put them under arrest.
When they Overhauled the freight In

large quantity of ammunition, provi-
sions, clothing, etc. All of this was
seized and the party returned to VIII
mington. None Of the prisoners have
been permitted to make any statement,
and 1t Is not thought that they will be
until they are arraigned in court.

San Francisco. Cal, Aug. 31.-The
steamer MOnowni which arrived last
night from Australian points did not
stop at Honolulu as usual. When on
that port the steamer was hailed by the
American consul In small boat, who
announced that cholera had broken out
in Honolulu among the natives and
Chinese. The cholera broke out soon
after the steamer Belglc left on her last
trip, and 1t is presumed that the disease
was brought by that vessel. The Mon
MIR n
but steamed direct to San Francisco.
Her passengers for Hawaii were
brought here.
There had been eight deaths from
that disease among the natives and
Chinese.
The Belgic arrived here August II
from Honolulu. There was no sickness
on board, and after examination by
quarantine officers. her passengers were
landed and the cargo discharged. The
Belgic Is now on her return trip to
Japan and China ports.
The Belgic carried n large number of
passengers In the steerage, but most Of
them were landed in Honolulu. 1t was
among the Honolulu passengers that
the sickness broke out. According to
the story as shouted from small boat
to the people on the Monowai, three
Chinese steerAge passengers bound for
Hawaii died at sea. The doctor said
that one died from heart disease. and
the other two from pneumonia. No
mention Of deaths at sea was made by
the steamship officials. She arrived
here and 1t seems strange that they
neglected to mention tn fact that there
had been sickness and death on board.
