Washington to quite the contrary
effect. Naturally the United States
Government desires for many reasons
to see the early termination OF the
war, but further than that nothing
can exceed the loyal conduct OF
President Cleveland and his Cabinet
toward Spain and her Government.
Our relations for the present mo-
ment are OF the most cordial
nature"
New York, Oct. ia special to
the Herald from Jacksonville, Fla,
says: While Federal officials have
been searching for the Dauntless
since she landed the munitions in
Cuba which were taken on at Palm
Beach about ten days ago, that
vessel has been busily engaged in
landing more arms and ammunition
and men for the insurgents. She
made her second landing on Tuesday
OF last week, and it is said that she
is now on her third trip to the ISL
and. The Dauntless got the arms
from small island at the lower end
of Turtle harbor, where the Cubans
have established a storehouse for
supplies. The munitions of war,
medicines and stores are taken to
the islands by sailing vessels, and as
the place is fifty miles south of here,
there has been little danger of de-
lection. A supply OF coal in sacks
has been landed on the island, and
this accounts for the length OF time
the Dauntless has been away from
any port where she could have OBJ
tanned fuel. The Dauntless is now
under bond because of former trip,
and will attempt to avoid being
placed again in custody until con-
tract for five trips to Cuba is COM
pleted.
The discovery of the second OK
petition of the Oauntless was made
by fishermen from Lemon City, who
were attracted by the queer actions
OF three masted schooner opposite
the south end of Biscayne bay. They
thought the vessel was in distress
and put out toward her. Just be-
fore dark she put into Turtle harbor
and that night they saw the trans
fer Of the cargo made. That night
they also saw steamer, which they
knew to be the Dauntless, put into
Turtle harbor and lay to near the
island, but she left before morning.
1t is also reported here that the tug
Enterprise of Perth Amboy, N. j.,
Capt. Conover, which stopped at St.
Augustine last Thursday and was
searched by the Collector and the
United States Marshal, has instruc-
tions to go to the supply station and
load for Cuba. A revenue cutter is
expected here in day or two to
break up the Cuban storehouse.
BALTIMORE, Oct. 19.-The United
States revenue cutter Window will
leave this port tomorrow under
sealed orders. 1t is thought the
orders which Capt Hand will open
when clear Of the capes will instruct
him to be on the lookout for fill
clustering expeditions leaving the
Florida coast. :
/ WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.-It is init
mated in official circles here that al
though no regular formal leave has
yet been issued to General Fitzhugh
Lee to absent himself from his post
as Consul General at Havana, he has
arranged the business OF the Consul
Generalship SO that it may be safely
left for time at least to the care of
Mr.. Springer, our energetic Vice
Consul g General. 1t is expected
therefore that he will soon pay a
visit to his home in Richmond. 1t
is understood from this same source
that General Lee is in no respect
dissatisfied with his Office or the re-
lations that now exist between him,
self and the authorities at Havana
but he has undergone trying and
particularly unhealthful season at
Havana, while engaged in the dis
charge OF onerous duties, and feels
