! - lllBlVfUN 4 SH'T 20 COMPLICATION
Regarding Filibuatering Expedi-
tions in Aid of Cuba.
WILL GRANT CLEARANCE PAPERS

To the Dauntless and Commodore Loaded
with Arms and Administration
the Former Vessel Has Slipped Away.
Three Friends Did Not Land Her Cargo.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Dec. 3l-For the
first time since the present struggle in
Cuba began this government has given
permission to II customs official to clear
for Cuba vessels loaded, according to their
manifest, with munitions of war, and pre-
sumably intended for the insurPent army.
The vessels in this case are the well known
and alleged filibusters, Dauntless and
Commodore, but the concession that under
these circumstances they are entitled to
clearance papers leaves the situation, so
far as they are concerned, quite as involved
as before, as the statutes prescribe that
before clearance shall be granted for any
vessel bound to foreign port the owners,
shippers and consignors of the cargo shall
state, under oath, the foreign port at
which the cargo is to be landed, and Sc
we're penalties are prescribed for violations
of this requirement, including the con-
nscation of the vessel.
The Dauntless is not in port at present.
The owners say she has gone on wreck
ing" trip and may not return for week.
The Dauntless gave the revenue cutters
tho slip on Tuesday going out of the river
from one of the shallow channels, and this
has aroused the suspicion that the vessel
, Is again on flibustering trip. The own
| ers say that the vessel will be formally
, cleared for Cuba as soon as 1T shall return.
| A rather anomalous fact is presented
( in that, ifeither boat shall clear for Cuba,
! the Spanish consul or vice consul Will
have to sign the clearance papers, this be-
/ ing required when n vessel clears for
foreign port. In this case it would be an
instance of Spanish officer aflixing his
signature to a document permitting a
vessel to carry war material TO people
! fighting against his government Consul
! Soils was asked if he would refuse TO sign
/ the clearance papers of the Dauntless. He
said that he could not refuse, as it was his
duty to sign the papers.
/ The cargo of both boats will be shipped
to Salvador Cisneros, president of the Gu
ban republic, the Dauntless' cargo con-
signed to Nuevitas, and that of the Com
modore to Santiago.
Information received this morning is to
the effect that the steamer Three Friends
failed absolutely to land it's expedition in
| Cuba as was reported. The story of the
chase by Spanish man-of-war is con-
flrmed, the Three Friends being obliged
TO leave the Cuban coast just as she was
getting ready to land her cargo. The
steamer headed for the Florida coast, and
having but few tons of coal on board
landed the men on key near Key West,
afterward putting in that port, where she
was seized. 1t is believed that the Daunt-
less has now gone to take the men and
munitions of war off the key and make
an effort to land them in Cuba. Before
the return of the Dauntless to this port
she will also endeavor to land another ex-
DeditiOn.

New YORY, Dec. 3l-Coloncl John f.
Hobbs, who calls himself King of Ilika,

he told them:
Colonel Hobbs, about six years ago, was

the conditions of an abominable traffic in

growers. His schooner was wrecked by a
hurricane, and he was cast adrift After
floating by means of a life belt until
nearly exhausted he was picked up by a
canoe manned by natives of ulilla, a

him kindly, and in return he rendered
them services which led to his being Gre

PRESIDENT PALMA DELIGHTED.
The Leader of the Cuban JUnta Calls 1t
Step Forward.


NEW YORK, Dec. 8l.-Tomas Estrada
Palma, president of the Cuban Junta, said
after reading the order of the secretary of
the treasury relative to the Dauntless
clearance:
This is victory for us so far as 1t al
lows the boat to leave port. We have
forced the authorities at Washington to
give us clearance papers, although some
time ago they declared that such boats as
the Dauntless could not get them except
under the most stringent restrictions,
This is u step forward.
'If vessel clears for certain port she
has to give reasonable excuse if she does
not deliver her cargo at that point. But
stress of weather, you know, or some other
accident might compel her to throw the
cargo overheard or deliver it somewhere
else. We in New York know nothing of
the Dauntless' case We hope 1t will re-
suit in proper construction of the law,
which is now vague and difficult to under
stand Even the authorities at Washing
ton are all at sea regarding it, apd it will
be good thing thUtNe have Cot u ruling"
