Although there is very little going on in a

and every one seems perfectly contented to

though so dull, It is strange to say that
every ones times seems so fully occupied

There are numberless classes, too, some

THE ARRESTED rlLrBusTERs.
Very Little Evidence Agasnst Them
Tho Detained Steamers,

New York. Feb. 28.-The Evening
news says; The general opinion among
the Federal authorities In the postiffiee
oullalng this morning was that there
was little chance OF convicting the five
men arrested yesterday, as leaders of
the fllibusterng expedition which was
hipped IN the bud yesterday. and result
ea IN the capture OF the steamship Ber-
rnuda. three tug boats and all the am
hunltloI. There Is little evidence, the
authoFlt'es says. upon which to base
convection. Every one. of course, un-
derstood that the expedition was bound
Tor Cuba. and that the rifles and ammu-
milton were intended for General Gomez
ana his men. but despite these facts
there Is not great deal OF evidence TO
prove violation OF the section under
which the raid WAS made. No rifles or
ammunition were found on the steam
ship bermuda. The fire arms were cap
iured on the tug boat. or the steam
lighter J. S. n. Strunahan. while the
boat was on It's way down the bay.
Representatives. OF the Spanish Gov
ernment will make every effort, however,
to have the five alleged leaders, now out
on ball, convicted. These men are Gene
raj Calixto Garcia, Captain Samuel
Hughes. Captain John Brnbazon. Trea-
surer Guerra, OF the Cuban Junta, and
j. d. Hart. the alleged owner OF the
Bermuda.
1t is expected that within The next few
days some one will call at the Marshall s
Office and claim the forty tons OF rifles
and ammunition now on board the de-
tanned tug boat Stranahan. If the per-
sons claim appears to be IL sound one,
supported by proof that the goods were
not intended for Cuba, the firearms will
be surrendered. but may form part OF
another expedition. The Bermuda is
not cleared for Cuba. Her apparent dcs-
tination was Jamaica.
The captain OF the Strannhun declares
that he did not know the contents OF
the boxes containing rifles and ammunl-
tion, nor did he know. he says, what
ship he was taking them to. 1t IS ex-
pected that the Stranahan will be re.
leased shortly. She Is still detained, us Is
also the Bermuda, awaiting further or.
ders from Washington.
