INFORMATION RECEIVED THAT
A BIG REBEL MOVEMENT
is MATCHING.
AN EXPEDITION SOON TO START.
Has Senior Dupuy de LONE Re-
ceived Assurances That 1t
VIII Be Nipped:

WASHINGTON, July 20.-There is
reason to believe that the visit here
of Secretary Olney and yesterdays
conference of the majority of the
members of the cabinet, together
with the coincident appearance in
the city of Senior de Lone, the Span
ish minister, are directly connected
with the suppression of a proposed
expedition to Cuba, which it is
claimed by its sympathizers is of far
greater Importance than any party
which has yet left the United States
for the purpose of carrying aid to
the Cuban insurgents. Under the
circumstances it is of course diff
cult to secure details as to the pro-
posed expedition, or of the steps
which are being taken to prevent it,
but it is definitely known that the
Spanish minister has information
that the American sympathizers are
preparing to send a very large and
well-equipped party to Cuba, and
that the friends of the Cuban cause
consider that the effect of this move
ment, if successful, would be in
spiriting to the insurgents because
of the size of the party proposed to
be sent out. 1t is also understood
that the instigators of the enter
prise are counting very confidently
on the expedition being able to evade
the vigilance of the United States,
and on getting off in good shape at
no yerv distant day
DE LOMES- BUSY DAYS.
Senior de Lone is devoting him.
self assiduously to preventing the de-
parture of this party. 1t cannot be
learned definitely whether the min
lister has received any new assur-
ance from the administration of spe-
cial efforts to prevent the departure
of this or other expeditions in the
future, but there are some circum-
stances which would indicate that he
has received the desired assurance.
1t is predicted very confidently that
the proposed expedition would never
leave the coast of the United States.
Orders have been issued to the rev.
enue cutters Morrill, and Winona,
one of which was at Charleston and
the other at Newbern, to proceed
at once to Key West. The orders
include directions to keep sharp
lookout against Cuban filibustering
expeditions. TIE McLane is already
at Key West, and the orders to the
other two cutters to reinforce her it
is believed were issued as a result of
yesterdays cabinet conference. The
Morrill, has already sailed.
LIE LONE SATISFIED.
Senior Depuy de LONE left for his
summer home on the New Englend
sociated Press reporter previous to his
departure, and in response to a queS-
ton said that his visit to Washington

this statement, he added that he had
gone to SwampScott, originally, very
suddenly, on account of illness in his
family, and had been compelled to re-

Mr.. De LONE added that it was true
that he called on the secretary of statd

tirely in regard to the Mora matter,
and had nothing to do with the author
