disc Left Gloucester, Mass,
On Sunday Night Pre-
sumably For The
Laurada,

The United States Government is doing
everything in its power to prevent the
steamship Laurada from taking a filibus-
tering expedition to Cuba.
After pursuing the Laurada for fifteen
hours the revenue cutter Hamilton re-
turned to the Delaware Breakwater yes
terday, but started out again to keep an
eye for filibusters.
The tug Dauntless, at Key West, has
been followed by the cutter Boutell, which
is under orders to see that the big tug does
not stop in the St. Johns river, where arms
and ammunition are stored.
The captain of the Dauntless is Lee
Lemm, now under bond for carrying out
an expedition from Brunswick on August
u. 1t is almost certainty that the
Dauntless will go to Fernandina and take
on supply Of coal and then go to meet the
Laurada and transfer the men and cargo
from the Laurada to Cuba.
Last night the United States man-of- war
Newark arrived off the St. Johns bar with
instructions to follow any of the three ves-
sells, Dauntless, Commodore or Three
Friends II they should cross the bar. The
Newark left Key West under sealed orders
Saturday, and to-day the commander of
the Boutwell, received information that the
Newark would assist In watching the al
legged filibustering fleet.
The Laurada was reported yesterday as
having passed by Minet's Ledge Light
house, off Boston, She was under full
head of steam, with the Stars and Stripes
flying from her masthead.
Several lighter loads Of merchandise left
Gloucester, Mass, presumably for the
famous flibuster steamship that has done
so much toward the freedom of Cuba by
taking men and arms to that oppressed is

John Henry Hoffecker, the Union Re-
publican candidate for Governor, visited
our city yesterday and called on number
of our citizens. He is quite sanguine OF
election, notwithstanding the candidacy
of John c. Higgins, believing he can
overcome by the aid Of Democratic votes,
the said detection. We admit that Mr.
Hoffecker is personally very popular and
will attract hundreds if not thousands Of
Democratic voters. Republicans who pro-
fer his election to that of Tunnel, should
vote for him. Every vote cast for any 9TH
er candidate will be practically thrown
away. Mr.. Higgins for his own credit,
should withdraw from tho canvass and
thus show he has as much practical sense
as Messrs. Spruance and Hayes, who re-
tired from the electoral ticket.

the evils that would follow the election Of
Bryan to the Presidency, and the advo-
Gates of free coinage and free trade to the
next Congress- but not one word has thus
far been said of the greater Importance of
defeating Addicks. No matter what hap
pens, Addicks must be defeated no mat
ter what other evils follow The success
of the Republican party will be
gall and wormwood if Addicks should
triumph, so walk up to the slaughter pen
and let two funerals be solemnized in one
day, that of Addicks and the Republican
party.

very bitterly of the practice of some to-
bacco chewers who keep up constant dis
charge of saliva, which often soils their
skirts and renders them very uncomforta-

last night rendered themselves very OBJ
noxious. If they had any respect for the
