Spanish Officials Say Men and Munitions
We're Taken from THIS City.


We're Taken from This City.
Philadelphia, Oct. Nippon in
formation furnished by Spanish off.
Gals, Collector Of Port Read is con
aidering an investigation into the
doings of Capt. S. Vance and officers
and crew of the Norwegian steamship
Leon. 1t is charged that on August
18th, while bound from Philadelphia
to Port Antonio, the Leon came to
anchor in the Delaware bay and took
on board Is Cuban insurgents and %
tons of arms, ammunition and supplies,
all of which were safely landed on the
northeastern coast of Cuba between
Cape Maysi and Baracoa. AS the lading
of these contraband articles is be-
lieved TO have been done beyond this
customs district, Collector Read is not
likely to act. Delaware bay is within
the customs district Of Delaware and
in charge Of collector Of customs at
Wilmington.
The exact spot where the arms wero
taken on board Is not known, but it is
claimed that tug from Wilmington
landed patrols and their munitions of
war on the Leon which was waiting
for them some distance below Chris
tiana creek.
For weeks Spanish gunboats have
been waiting for an opportunity to
seize the Leon the moment she came
within Spain's jurisdiction, and in two
different cases attempts were made off
Cape Maysi to hold up vessels which
were supposed to be that ship.
Those in command Of the Leon to-
day denied that the vessel had ever re-
ceived or landed insurgents on the
coast Of Cuba, and disclaim ali lnowl-
edge of the affair.
