Large SlOOD Lands Powder and
Firearms.
The Atlas Line steamer Adirondack, from
Port Limon. which arrived at New
York yesterday brought news of another
landing of war supplies in the Vi
cinity of Cape Maysi, Cuba. On the 22d
instant, when the Adirondack was about
thirty miles west OF the cape, a large white
painted sloop was seen bearing directly for
the Cuban coast. There was great actlv-
ity among the men on board, and what
looked like kegs of powder and firearms
were stacked up in the stern of the ves-
sci. The name of the craft could not be
ascertained, but it was evident that she
was carrying materials Of war to the in
surgent forces on the island.
The officers of the Adirondack watched
the sIoop until she lowered her sail and
dropped anchor just off the shore. No
Spanish men-of-war We're in the vicinity.
The place where the sloop anchored is
lonely and uninhabited spot. 1t is be-
lieved that several vessels have landed
supplies for the insurgents there within
the last three or four weeks.

At the close Of his speech he was be-
sieged on all sides of the platform by vet
Grams anxious to again press his hand.
Those who could not climb over the plat

and, notwithstanding the fact that on the
evening previous the governor had shaken
hands with from six to seven thousand
persons he remained for several minutes
with the crowd which had congregated
around him.
The exercises closed with an illustrated
