Eilibustering PARTY Arrested

WILMINGTON, Del. Aug. 30.-Twenty
men were brought in today from Penn s
Grove, Nj, and lodged in Jail, charged
with violating the neutrality laws in
having organized a hostile expedition to
Cuba. They are still here in custody of
the United States authorities and will be
arraigned Monday. The mon under ar
rest are from Philadelphia and New
York, and were arrested under orders is
sued by the treasury department. a hear
ing will be given them tomorrow. 1t has
been suspected for several months that a
Cuban filibustering party was~ organizing
in this city. Today it was learned that
they have headquarters at III Market
street, and at least one if not more expe-
ditions to Cuba have been dispatched
from this city. On Monday the United
States authorities here were notified by
Detective Gaylord of the Pinkerton
agency in Philadelphia that another ex-
petition was about to take its departure.
United States Deputy Marshal Lannan
and several assistants, together with the
police authorities. have peen keeping Il
close watch ever since. They located a
number OF suspicious character around
a store in the neighborhooG of the head
quarters and discovered many OF these
had gone to the offices of the Charles
Warner company yesterday and chartered
the tug Taurus to carry freight to Penn g
Grove. They shadowed the tug until
she left her wharf in this city at mid
night last night. 1t was known be fore
hand by the authorities that all of the
tiipusterin, party was to wait at Penn's
Grove for steamer to come from Phila-
delpnia to take them to Cuba. The name
of this steamer Is not known, bnt it was
learned that she was not expected to
arrive at Penn's Grove until midnight to-
night. The pursuing party, therefore,
permitted the men to load their freight
and embark their passengers without
molestation. ,and saw them sail in the
direction of Penn's Grove, where some of
the detectives had been sent to await de-
vclopments.
Al clock Marshal Lsnnon. with sew
cral assistants. Detective Gaylord and
two OF his associates, and a squad of no
lice under Captain Kane. boarded tug
and saild to Penns Grove. There they
found the party who bad chartered the
Taurus lounging about the railroad sta
tion and put them under arrest. When
they overhauled the freight hull of -the
Taurus they found it contained twenty
cases of arms, large quantity OF ammu-
milton, provisions, clothing, etc. All of
it was selzed and the larty returned to
Wilmington. None of the prisoners have
been permitted to make any statement
and il ) not thought they will be until
they are arraigned n court. An eXpedi-
ton very similar to the one which came
today put to sea in the tug Bertha about
three weeks ago and il is understood that
its mem bers were safely landed in Cuba.

Mile. ZeIie de Lussan

The London correspondent OF the Bcs-
ton Herald writes: There are few singers
who have attained greater popularity in
London than Mile. Zelie de Lussan, and,
while not great prima donna, possibly,
she is certainly an extremely popular one.
and her appearance on the Covent Garden
stage is always the signal for hearty
ana prolonged greeting of exceptional
warmth This little New York singer
mingles with her vocal work so much
intelligence that whatever she attempts
seems to be accomplished with more or
less success. She is so popular personally,
too; but then that seems to be one of he
principal characteristics of American
singers and prima donnas. Miss Esther
Pailiser is a shining example of this
condition of affairs. for her success on
both the operate and the concert stag
in England is remarkable. She. too,
combines intelligence with sweet voice
and a handsome presence. She has
grown much stouter the past few years.
but it is very becoming TO her. 1here
are numberless other American singers
in London of whom the same may be said
Their frank and generous manner and
their total absence of airs, make them
liked by the public, as well as by legion
OF friends and acquaintance.

The Torch May BE Applied

CHICAGO, Aug. 30. joaquin Nergas.
eXMeXican consul here has received a
letter from friend near to the high
Spanish officials in Havana. 1t is dated
August -, and has this to say Of the In
surrection on that island:
"The Instruction is strong and daily
gaining ground. AS proof, ever since
the very beginning the government forces
are the ones who are on the defensive
while the Insurgents are tha attackers
SPAN began active measures to quell the
rebellion February last with an army of
over ~, 000 regulars and volunteers. OF
these through battle and disease she has
lost in SIX months about Is, 900. In some
localities the troops have found them
selves in such perilous situation that
many OF the soldiers have surrendered,
while others have lost their reason. The
Cubans have fought with unequalled
bravery and have so far conducted them
selves with manliness and honor. For
instance, the wounded Spaniards left
their comrades on the field 10 die. They
are taken in and cared for by the Cubars
and when restored are set AT liberty. But
this humane conduct is Bot likely TO last,
for CampOs' party l. surely working on
the Cutans to get them to institute a YER
liable reign Of terror. II that happens
the torch will be applied broadcast over
the whole island. No Spaniard will then
be spared. ~

Defender Not Given So Good Treatment as
Her Opponent in Going Into
Stays at the Turn

Associated Press Special Wire.
NEW YORK, Aug. 80 Tie third So
called trial race between Defender and
Nlgllant. which took place today, was a
good deal OF a farce. Defender won over
a course OF ten miles to windward and
returned by minutes ana II seconds,
when she could have crossed the finish
line anywhere from eight to ten minutes
ahead OF Vigilent if she had been sailed
TO: all she was worth.
Nigilant on the other band, was sailed
as she always is, in the most sports
manlike manner. White caps appeared
here and there but there was no sea that
could be called heavy or even choppy.
The course was from the Scotland light
ship east-southeast which was dead to
windward. ten miles and return. After
crossing the line on the starboard tack,
Nigilant was the first to come about. De-
fender went in stays too. and although
she came up into the wind five or six
seconds later than Vigilant, she was full
on the other tack before the Nigilant.
When both boats had come around to the
port tack Defender was sixteenth of
mile ahead in that first five minutes of the
race. The breeze freshened to ABOUT
twelve knots an hour, at IL 80. and both
racers felt it simultaneously. They stood
on long board, and made several Ia. .ks
before rounding the mark.
Defender was five m inutes and twenty
seconds ahead at the turn. She jibed
over and prepared for her run home be-
fore the wind But that preparation,
which included the setting of spinnaker
and the balloon lib topsail, was perfected
in very slow manner. In view of the
Defenders great work yesterday on a run
before the wind many people thought she
could beat Nigilant today. On the con.
trary. Nigilant gained ten seconds on her
and Defender was the winner by 5 min
utes II seconds.
The racers lad not proceeded mile
on their course when the English Valky-
rie loomed up to the northward beating
down the point of Sandy Hook. She was
never nearer to Nigilant than five miles.
but even at that distance it could be seen
that the challenger kicked up good deal
OF fuss in the water. Nalkyr:e did not
come near Defender and Vigilant until
the very close of the race, when she drew
up to the finish line and witnessed De-
tenders success. The Americas cup COM
mittee formally recorded at n meeting
held this evening that they had selected
Defender to meet Vaikyrie for the Amer
lca's cup.

WHAT HOLMES SAYS
Admits the Identity iof the PitzeI Boy s
Bones

PHILADELPHIA. August 30.-A local
paper says Holmes admits that the re.
mains in the house in Irvingon, Indian
apolis, are those of III Toward PitZel. This
he has told his counsel, Mr.. Shoemaker,
DUNG the Iatter's long conference with
him in prison. But Holmes says he did
not murder the boy. that the crime was
committed by another.
In Holmes statement about this phase
OF the case. the mysterious Hatch comes
to the surface again. Holmes believes, so
he says, that Howard Ptzel was killed,
and that Hatch murdered him, as he did
the girls i'll Toronto Holmes claims that
when the time comes, and he is anxious
that it will come soon, he will be able to
prove beyond a doubt that at the time
the detectives say Howard was killed he
(HClmes) was in Detroit with his wife.
Holmes says he has always been suspi-
cious of Hatch and has long suspected
him of doing away with the boy.
