The schooner Martha Seized.

Key West, Fla, April S-The schooner
Martha, which left this city on the night
of March 81 with arms and ammunition,
was seized today by the collector of GUS
toms for violating section 1887 of the re-
vised statutes of the United States, hav-
ing departed from this district for for
eign ports without first obtaining GER
tificate of register. An article appeared
in the Equator Democrat yesterday de-
scribing a trip to Cuba on the schooner
Martha by G. M. Mathes, editor of the
said paper, and on the strength of said
article the collector seized the schooner.
subsequently Frank M. Thompson of the
crew swore out an affidavit to the effect
that he had shipped on the schooner
Martha to go to Cuba, and for which he
was to be paid on his return to this port.
He states that the schooner arrived on
the coast of Cuba on the 1st instant, and
on the End they reached the shore about
O'Clock at night, and that the captain
went on shore, but returned almost i'm
mediately. On Friday, the 3rd, in the
morning, they landed at Cardenas. The
same night they started for the bay, but
were compelled to put back. They came
to anchor opposite the light house, near
Cardinals. Saturday morning they got
under way and went off shore, and about
dusk that evening they were chased by
Spanish cruiser, eluding the Spaniards
by rounding her stern. They then shaped
their course for Key West arriving here
Sunday night, the 5th instant.

The Proposal Reiected.

Madrid April 8.-The proposal to ask
the cortes for credit of 900 pesetas
for the purpose Of constructing war
ships. which was considered by the
cabinet at its meeting yesterday.
was not adopted by that body,
the council deciding instead to sub
nit to the new cortes the complete
project for increasing the strength of the
navy. The government has forbidden
the meeting of students. which it was
proposed to hold In this city today, for
the purpose of protesting against the ac-
tion of the United States house of repre-
sentatives in regard to Cuba.
The national party is now proposing to
organize an anti-American demonstra-
tion. The municipal council of Barcelona
has decided to raise and arm battalion
of volunteers.
