London, Conn, last night, on infor-
nation, which the consul gen.
eral of Spain in this country
had received, that Cuban filibus-
tering expedition is on the point Of
sailing from Gardeners bay, oppo-
site New London. The supplies
that the boat is taking on at Gardi-
ner's bay are declared to be arms
and ammunition made up In pack
ages to simulate ordinary merchan-
disc as contents.
The ostensible purpose Of the
Commodore, which Is the name Of
the boat, was given out as fishing
expedition to Southport, n. c., and
with this alleged object, the work
of engaging crew for the vessel
has been going on in this city for
some time. The news OF the prep
arations were known to the Span
ish consul general in Stone street,
who has such evidence furnished
by the informant that no hesita-
tion was apparent on the part Of
the officials in rendering 800 in
appreciation of the service. The
equipment Of the Commodore was
said to be formidable, and 1t was
also stated that before another day
had passed she would have cleared
for the North Carolina port, but
with her nose pointed straight for
the east end of Cuba, where the in
surgents are virtually In control.
Senior Baldazano, the consul gen.
eral, Immediately dispatched sew
eral men to New London, with in
structions to communicate imme-
diately on arrival, with the United
States marshal Of the district and
libel the Commodore, to prevent
her departure, pending investiga.
tion by the federal authorities.

Heavy Gold Shipments.

NEW YORK, Aug. 3l.-The gold
shipments by today's steamers
promise to be very large. Handy &
Hartman will ship 100000, and
Steinwanader & Stoffregeren $780,
600. Hard & Rand will ship $780,
600, and Nesslage & Fuller have in
creased by $4,000 their gold
engagements made earlier in
the week for $4,000. Cross
man & Bro. have decided to
increase their shipments 81, 500,0 900.
Some Of the gold has already been
engaged at the sub-treasury, and 1t
is likely that all the shippers, with
the exception of Handy & Han man,
will get their gold at the SUBJ
treasury. Oelrich & Co. will also
send away $250,000 in gold. These
big Withdrawals would naturally
bring the gold reserve below the
$l00,000,000 point, but after bust
ness hours the syndicate placed
5 100000 in the sub-treasury.
