1t has been suspected for several months
that Cuban flibustering party was at
work in this city, and it has just been
learned that they have headquarters at
IN Market street here and that at least
one, if not more, expeditions to Cuba have
been dispatched from this city. On Mon
day the United States authorities here
were notified by Detective Gaylord, of the
Pinkerton agency in Philadelphia that
another expedition was about to take its
departure. Detective Gaylord and several
Of his associates came the next day.
United States Deputy Marshal Hewsen
e. Lannen and several assistants, to-
gcther with the police authorities, have
been keeping a close watch ever since.
They noticed number of suspicious char
acters lettering about the cigar store in
the neighborhood of the headquarters of
the Junta, and discovered that one of
these had gone to the office of the Charles
Warner company on Thursday and char
tered the tug Taurus to carry freight to
Pennsgrove They shadowed the tug un-
til she left her wharf in this city Thurs
day midnight.
1t was known beforehand by the au-
thorities that the alleged filibustering
party was to walt at Pennsgrove for a
steamer to come from Philadelphia to
take them to Cuba. The name of this
steamer is not known, but it was learned
that she was not expected to arrive at
Pennsgrove until last midnight The pur-
suing party, therefore, permitted the men
they were watching to load their freight
and embark their passengers without
molestation, and saw them sail in the di-
rection Of Pennsgrove, whittier some of
the detectives had been sent to await de-
yelopments
Last evening Marshal Lannen with
several assistants, Detective Gaylord and
two Of his associates, and squad of
police under Captain Kane boarded the
/ tug Media and sailed to Pennsgrove
| There they found the party who had
/ chartered the Taurus, lounging about
| the railroad station and put them under
arrest.
When they oyerhauled the freight in
| the hull of the Taurus they found that it
consisted Of twenty-seven cases of arms,
/ and a large quantity of ammunition, pro-
/ visions, clothing etc. All Of this was
seized and the party returned to VIII
mington None of the prisoners has been
permitted to make any statement, and it
is not thought that they will be until they
are arraigned in court.
An expedition very similar to the one
which came to grief last night put to sea
in the tug Bertha about three weeks ago,
and it is understood that its members
were safely landed in Cuba.
