Washington, June 24.-The Raleigh sailed from Key West at II o'clock today for a cruise at sea between Cuba and the gulf states. It is not known whether her commander has instructions to look out for any flibustering expeditions. but there is no doubt she will endeavor to intercept any unlawful vessels. While the Raleigh lies in port her movements are known, but the purpose of her trip is evidently to keep her movements un- known. She is liable to drop into any small port or. inlet along the coast and thus prevent the assembling or sailing of filibusterlng parties bound for Cuba.
 The cruiser Atlanta is under orders to leave New York harbor tomorrow to en- force the neutrality laws in Cuban wa ters. She will stop at Port-au-Prince, I5ayti When she leaves there her move ments are apt to be somewhat perplex- ing to filibustering expeditions menacing the south coast of Cuba. After cruising as long as her coal lasts the Atlanta will go into Santiago de Cuba and lie there until her bunkers are replenished, being held in readiness to go out and give chase to any expedition that may be re- ported.
 This new duty of the Atlanta, together with that of the Raleigh, along the gulf coast of the United States indicates the determination of the administration to give Spain no opportunity of accusing this government of negligence. While it is believed in official circles that the re- ports alleging violations of the neutral ity laws have been to some extent exag gerated other American warships will be sent to the Gulf of Mexico if it should T. Raleigh are unequal to the task assigned them. The cruiser Montgomery, which recently went to Colon, and after spend ing a week there has now returned to Greytown, had orders to keep a sharp lookout for sympathetic movements in Central America in which Americans might be involved. Several expeditions from Costa Rica and other Central Amer ican points are known to have left for Cuba andsat least one of them has land sd on the island. As far as known the Enited States was not concerned in them, put the Montgomery will continue viz liant until she returns to Mobile early in July.
 Minister de Lome Talks.
 The Spanish minister. Dupuy de Lome, today expressed his surprise that the American newspapers continue to print so many sensational and unfounded ru- nors respecting the situation in Cuba. Tt is always safe. he said, Ito discount sensational dispatches from Tampa or Nassau The reporter of the United Press and other reporters of leading jour IalS at Havana are generally aware of what is happening. and 1t is not likely information would become public along the Florida coast which could not be learned in advance in Havana There is not day but 1 am compelled to stamp as untrue dispatches from those places. The latest is the report that Miguel Cam rtfa a- np of Ion n if1nz (No, was killed in battle. Miguel Campos is his fathers private secretary and his death would be known immediately by the authorities at Havana and Madrid, and through them the fact would be communicated to me. As l have not been so informed, it is safe to assume that it is a canard.
 '"The presidents recent proclamation of neutrality is apparently producing good results so far as the Cuban sympa- thiZers in this country are concerned Ieumors of fresh filibustering expeditions reach Washington continually, but those in authority say that these rumors are usually incorrect, and that the issuance of the proclamation has had depressing influence upon the friends of the rebeIs in the United States"
 Devised New Tactics.
 Captain Howgate's counsel have de- cided not to enter ar application for a new trial, but are now busy preparing a bill of exceptions, which will go before Judge McComas for his signature by the end of the week, and will then come be- fore the court of appeals. This court will not convene until October next.
