4 Large Filibusterirg Expedition
Comes TO Grief.
IN NEW YORK HARBOR.
THE UNITED STATES MARSHAL>
GATHER N TWO HUNDRED
PRISONERS.

The largest iiibustering eN>
pcdition that has yet been fitted
out in the interest of the Cuban
revolutiorists came ito grief
shortly before midnight Tuesday
night by the seizure i'll New
York harbor of the stcan.cr Der
muda, flying the British flag.
The steam lighter J. S. I.
Stranahan, loaded with arms and
ammunition, was also seized, as
we're the tugs McCaldin Broth
ers and William J. McCaldin,
which had carried about sixty
hlibusterS aboard the Bermuda.
United States marshals and Pin
kerton detectives, the latter in
the employ of the Spanish gov
ernment, aided in the seizure and
took the ilibusters ashore. Mar
shals have been placed aboard
the Bermuda, which is lying off
Bedloe's Island, and her engines
have been disconnected, thus
rendering her hors du com bat for
the time being.
The steamer lighter is very
suspicious looking craft. Her
deck is laden down with numer~
our boxes of various sizes, which
contain arms and ammunition.
There are about $50 long, mar
row boxes, such as are usually
used to convey rifles. One Of
the square boxes is marked i'll
bold letters "lnedicine. ." A dep
uty marshal is in charge of the
lighter and refuses to permit
anybody to go aboard. The crew
are all held as prisoners. Down
in the hold Of the lighter are
said to be three Hotchkiss guns
two light Napolean guns and
some riot guns.
The cuban sympathizers are
indeed having hard time get
ting arms to Cuba. Nearly every
endeavor made by SO far has been
failure.

annual Fish Circular.


We again offer our services to
our friends, the North Carollna
fishermen, for the sale Of their
salt fish.
For the past twenty-five years
we have been the largest re-
ceivers, and consequently the
largest distributors Of fish III any
Southern market, and naturally
BUYERS seek us as a source Of
supply.
The stock Of 1895 Carolina
terrings Oh the Richmond mar
ket is unusually large. The very
low price of provisions, together
with the general dullness which
has characterized every departs
rnent of trade, during the past
twelve months, has been mani
fest III the lessened demand for
fish. Early shipments were sold
with comparative ease and with
satisfaction to the fishermen; but
later arrivals, for the most part,
found our market abundantly
| stocked with both North Caro~
lima and Potomac fish, with but
littlc, if any demand. Shipments
from the fisheries direct to small
interior consuming markets have
had tire effect to largely neutral
ize our best efforts. If Richmond,
the very best la5ge market, is to
be preserved, then these ship
ments to the interior shouldcease.
Great care should be taken
about cooperage. Let your BAR
rels be Of good size and well
made, and the hoops thoroughly
driven and nailed Eastern
packages, or, better still, pack
ages made like the Eastern, out
of NortjlsCarolina native timber,
are now preferred to the old Car
olina barrels. 1t is almost i'm
possible to sell fish packed in the
old style North Carolina cooper
age.
For several years past, herrings
caught and packed Oil the Poto'
nae and Susquehanna rivers
iave been branded North Caro-
lima. The fish have been sold al
very low prices, the public has
thus been deceived AID imposed
upon. Every effort has been
made to caution the trade against
this deception and yet the evil
continues and is increasing.
The only remedy left for the
protection of the North Caroline
fishermen against the piractica.
trade is to have their barrels anc
other packages made from
the native wood Of North Caro-
lima, and we cannot too strongly
impress this upon their consider
alton ard adoption.
As usual, we will remit tht
proceeds of all sales IN cash
