Washington, Dec. 30.-For the first
time since the present struggle in Cuba
began, this government has given per-
misston -tc a customs of cial to clear
for Cuba a vessel Loaded. according to
her manifest, with munitions OF war
and presumably for the insurgent army
The vessel IN this case Is the we'll
known alleged ilibuster, the Dauntless,
but the concession that under these
circumstances she is entitled to clear,
ance papers. leaves the situation, as
far as she is concerned, quite as involv,
ed as before, as the statutes prescribe
that before clearance shall be granted
for any vessel bound to foreign port,
the owners, shippers and consigners of
the cargo shall state at what foreign
port the cargo is to be landed, and sc.
we're penalties are prescribed for VIOLA
tions OF this requirement, Including
the c~onfiscation Of the vessel. Some
time yesterday the secretary of the
treasury received a telegram from the
attorney of the Of the Daunt-
less at Jacksonville. stating that the
owners Of the Dauntless and her cargo
would apply to the collector Of customs
at Jacksonville for clearance to a Cub
an port with a cargo Of arms, stating,
however. that the oaths required by the
statutes would not be taken. The ques,
ton was asked whether under these
circumstances papers would be issued.
Later in the day a telegram was re-
cefved from the collector at Jackson
vile. stating that application to clear
the Dauntless for the port Of Neuvitas,
Cuba. with a cargo Of arms had been
made and sskin9, Instructions. This
morning the secretary replied substan-
TALLY as follows: az the master OF

The port named in the application
as the destination Of the cargo is on
the northern coast Of Cuba and is &C.

treasury oficials therefore are 1t the
opinion that the oaths required by the
statutes will not be taken.

Missoarians arrived in Leadville this
afternoon and were escorted to. the
Emmett, Fbex and Resurrection prop
critics, where they will go to work. The
men arrived over the Denver and Rio
Grande at l O'Clock, and there was but
q small crowd to greet them, as it was
not generally known over which road
they would arrive. Brig. Gen. Brooks
has taken every %precautton to prevent
any disturbance, and the artillery,
cavalry and infantry to the number OF
275 men were at the depot to escort the
new workmen to the mines.
There was but little commotion OF
any kind until the head Of East Fifth
