Signal Failure of tho "NobIo Lords
Charges Against Defenders Owners.

siguaI Failure of the "NobIc Lord'sn
Charges Against Defenders Owners.
New YORK, Dec. 30-Lord Dunraven
and Arthur Glennle, his friend; went
aboard the Umbria, of the Cunard line,
Saturday afternoon, and an hour later
they were speeding down the bay, home
ward bound In effecting the object Of
their visit they were thoroughly disap-
pointed. Tho noble earl had failed most
slgnally to substantiate his charge of fraud
against tho members of the syndicate
which built the Defender. 1t was made
clear that fourteen tons of extra ballast
would have made a crab of the cup winner
1t was also made clear that tho triple
transfer of such an amount of ballast was
practically an impossibility.
1t may be safely asserted that Lord Dun
raven was beaten at every point. There
was not single statement favoring his
case which was not thoroughly explained.
Although given the fullest and fairest OPP
portunity he failed to substantiate any one
of his statements.
Consequently, having seen how the wind
blew, and having fired the last shot in his
locker. without any other effect than a
counter broadside, tho noble earl packed
up his belongings and sailed for England.
LONDON, Dec. 30-The Chronicle says:
"Lord Dunraven's failure to incriminato
Defenders owners was complete. He may
now in cold blood reflect that he has done
more to breed bad blood between tho two
nations than President Cleveland and
Secretary Olney combined" .-.....

MORE TROUBLE FOR ENGLAND.
The situation In the Transvaai Overshad-
ows the Venezuelan Question.

ows the Venezuelan Question.
JOHANNESBURG, Dec. 80.-The political
situation here Ia acute on account OF the
struggle of foreigners in the Transvanl to
obtain equal political rights with tho
Beers. There nre persistent -rumors
of secret arining Of the miners and
warlike preparations, on account OF which
ladies and children are leaving. General
Joubert, commander-in-chiefo Of the Trans
voal forces has boen summoned to Pre-
toria from Natal. Tho Americans and
Germans are siding with the Transvaal
government in the controversy.
LONDON Dec 3o.-Tho Times this morn
ing publishes long dispatches from Capo
Town, Paris and Berlin, bearing ON tho
sTrnnsyaal question, which seems to be
| displucing the Venezuelan question in the
| public interest. The Paris dispatch quotes
The Debats as saying: "Thc London Times
seems to be avengng itself on the Beers
for tho moderate tone it was Obliged to
adopt towards Uncle Sam" Tho Debats
then proceeds to argue upon the danger to
French interests OF allowing England to
seize the Transvaal.
N The Berlin dispatch says: 1.-THE action
OF the Uitlanders in tho Transvaal has
given rise to an unusually violent explo-
sion OF anti English feeling in the German
press"
The National Zeitung Is quoted as fol-
lows; Germany, Portugal and possibly
France cannot allow tho Boer republics to
become tho exclusive property Of England,
and especially of such u dangerous pcr,
sonago as Mr.. Cecil Rhodes"
The Times dispatch then continues:
"Tho Kolniche Zeitung tho Krcuz Zeituna
and other eapers express similar senti
ments. 1t cannot be denied that while
the relations between the English and
German governments are in no way
cordial, widespread feeling Of animosity
; against England exists In Germany"

Braulia Pena, who was among the alleged
Cuban hllbusters who were arrested, tried
and acquitted in this city last fall was in
Wilmington yesterday visiting friends Mr..
Pena's latest adventure was his arrest
with the othsr men who were acquitted
recently in the Bahama Islands.
They were taken to Nassau and there
tried and acquitted again. II was tho Will
mington experience over again. The fury
left the box, went into the jury room, took
one vote and rendered a verdict of not
guilty.
Mr.. Pena is a man whose appearance
would Indicate that It would pay the Span
ish Government to keep him out Of Cuba.
He took part in the revolution of 1868
and was a member of Gomezs stan during
that long. but unsuccessful insurrection.
He is of the most powerful type OF Spanish
manhood He is Of large and athletic build
and courage is stamped on every feature OF
his strong and handsome face.
He says that they were treated well in
Nassau. where they remained for some
time under bail, while awaiting trial. Mas
sau. he says. was like Wilmington In the
fact that the sympathy of the people was
with the Cuban cause. Cuba is only forty
miles away and on clear days Its white
mountain peaks could be seen from the
environs OF their waiting placer On. every
side they were Informed that no jury could
be found who would convict the men,,
why" Mr.. Pena said. I'VE were only la
borers looking for work and we liked to
travel"
He expressed himself as delighted with
the progress the insurrectlon is making in
Cuba He was surprised. he said, to see
that Gomez had done 80 we'll He saw q
letter the other day in which the Cuban
general said he would surely win and In
six months at the farthest Cuba would be
free.
Gomez, he said. is a good military man.
He Is a native of St. Domingo. but is a
Cuban in his sympathies. Maceo. he salds
is also capable leader. He Is of African
descent and is another Toussant L'oyer-
ture.
Among the witnesses who testified
against the men in Nassau were Detectives
Schooiey and another man who were wit
nesses against the Cubans at the trial in
this city.
All the men returned TO New York after
, their acquittal at Nassau. General Car
rillo. who was among those tried In this
city, was not arrested In the Bahamas. He
came to Nassau after the arrests. but es-
capped before he was apprehended. He got
safely into Cuba with another party. who
took with them a large quantity of muni-
tons of war.
special effort was made In Nassau to
convict Eduardo zero. Witnesses were
brought from Havana, who testified that
Yero advocated revolution and led an up.
rising before tho present struggle began.
II made no difference. however; he was ac-
quilted along with the rest Of the men.
Mr.. Pena said that tho Judge before whom
they we're tried appeared to want the men
convicted and his charge was considered
to be against the prisoners. The prose-
cutting attorney was also Jealous in his ef'
iforts to secure oeasIetiun.
