rILrBusrER LAuRADA.
Spanish Minister Receives Satisfac.
tory Report from America.


MADRID Aug. 16-The Duke of Tetuan.
Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs, has
received a Washington dispatch giving
satisfactory assurances regarding the al
logged filibustering expedition of the
Laurada.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 16.-The steamer
Laurada, referred to in the Madrid dis
patch, has figured frequently in the claims
made by Spanish authorities that Ameri-
can merchant steamers were engaged in fill
clustering operations. In January last the
then captain of the vessel was indicted in
the federal courts of South Carolina, but
was acquitted after a jury trial. Frequent
reference has been made to the expert
ence of the Laurada at MayDort, Fla, in
May last. The captain on that occasion
failed TO take out health papers required by
the law. and this led to the surveillance of
the Laurada by Spanish war vessel.
1t was claimed that ten Cubans were To-
Gated on board and that quantities of war
material and dynamite were thrown in the
water after the Spanish war vessel put in
an appearance. 1t was also represented at
cruiser that thirty men were drowned ow-
ing to the precipitous haste in getting
ashore to avoid apprehension. The Span
ish authorities claimed that the United
States had taken no proceedings towards
condemning the vessel or arms in accord
ance with the neutrality laws. All the
State Department officials were absent from
the city tonight. no statement could be
obtained from that quarter.

ical allusons were made in the sermon.
and after the service the pastor and many
others shook hands with MIR. and Mrs Bry-
an In the afternoon, after luncheon. Mr..
and Mrs. Bryan. Mr.. Sewall and Mr. and
Mrs. O. j. Smith went for drive. They
visited many of the places made famous
by the pen of Washington Irving saw the
monument erected TO the memory of the
captors of Major Andre. and saw the au-
thors grave in Sleepy Hollow Cemetery.
In the evening at dinner there were pres
ent Albert Shaw editor of Review of Re-
views. and William r. Hearst. Mr.. Bryan
