Experienced Men Here shipped for the
Island on the Bermuda.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, April "A pri-
vate cablegram from Puerto Cortez to-day
would seem to show that the Spaniards
did not make as big haul as reported. if
the Honduras authorities have really held
the ship Bermuda.
The cablegram said that but ninety cases
of arms and ammunition were found
aboard the steamer, and that the greater
part of her cargo and General Calixto
Garcia and the Cubans who went out on
the vessel were landed on the coast OF the
Province Of Piaar del Rio. Cuba.
1t is said that number of the men who
are alleged to have been landed from the
Bermuda were expert artillerymen, and
that they gained their experience as mem
bers of Battery A, Pennsylvania National
Guards.
The story goes that twenty thoroughly
competent men were with the expedition
and that they were under command OF
Sergeant ". II. Cox of Section 8, Bat
terry A, who is considered one OF the best
artillery instructors and most efficient
handlers OF batteries in this part of the
country.
The services of these men, it is asserted,
was secured by the Cubans for the purpose
of organizing their own men into effective
battalions and training them in the use of
guns procured from the United States

purchased the steamship at the instance
OF John d. Hart, who had telephoned from
Philadelphia that he wanted to buy a
steamer suitable for fruit boat. He had
paid S25, 900 for the vessel. Witness had
received the first payment in the shape of
5000 check from Benjamin Guerrero, by
whom II was signed.
George f. Murray, the fire department
inspector of com bles, testified to the
explosive character of the lighter j. 5. T.
Stranahan, which 1t is claimed was one of
the vessels employed in loading the Ber-
muda.
Counsel FOR the defense objected to this
testimony, but the court overruIed it.
Then a proclamation of peace between
the United States and Spain, made by the
President of the United States, was offered
in evidence. but despite objection by the
defense Judge Brown allowed it to be
read.
The report OF Edward a. Mahnken an
inspector of customs, who examined the
cargo of the Stranahan. was offered in evil
dence. He denied that the Government
officials had any right 10 either seize or
detain the cargo of the Stranahan, and said
that the Attorney-General rebuked the
District Attorney for having caused the
detention by restoring the cargo TO its
owners.
Felix A. Fuentas, Spaniard, testified
that he had seen man whom he believed
to be General Calixto Garcia at the head :
quarters OF the Cuban Junta. He had
heard him addressed as Mr.. Garcia. He
failed to identify any of the defendants as
having been in the Office OF the Junta when
he was there.
1t was stated by the prosecution that the
witness had been enrolled as a member of
the Bermuda expedition by General Gar
cia. The witness told now he had offered
his services to General Garcia TO go TO
Cuba and the generals declination Of
them; how subsequently he became en-
rolled, as he supposed, for some expedi-
ton and had signed paper. He further
stated he been given s. q week for two
weeks.
The witness correctly described Garcia
as a gray-haired man with white beard
and a scar on his forehead. The witness
said that he went aboard the steamer
Hawkins on the 23d or oath of January
from a dock somewhere at Harlem. Then
he said that the Hawkins foundered the
day after she sailed, and he and others
were rescued by two or three vessels and
taken TO Boston.
The witness was still on the stand when
court was adjourned until Monday

NEW YORK. y. Y, April "A special
to the Recorder from Wilmington, Del j,
says: Advices were received tonight by
Des oto Bros, leaders of the Cuban colony
here, that another filibustering expedition
from the United States safely landed on
the northern shores of Cuba yesterday
morning, and the munitions taken from
this country will be in possession of the
iusurgent army in the province of Pinar
del Rio to-day.
This expedition, which makes the sew
enth to reach the camp of the insurgents
in six weeks. started from New York on
Wednesday night, March 25.
1t consists of thirty-five men, 800 600
cartridges, 20o0 rifles and large quantity
of powder. The name of the YES
sci that conveyed the expedition
cannot be ascertained, although it
was limited by local Cubans that it was a
large steamer owned by a well-known
steamship company, with headquarters in
New York.
This expedition, Ralph Desoto said, was
carefully planned and slipped out of New
York last week without arousing the
slightest suspicion on the part of the Gov

Dispatches Received Giving De-
tails of Fights With the
Natives.
oLIMO DECLARES HIMSELF KING
General Distribution of Arms Among
the Beers Causes Very Wild
RumorS.

CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA, April q
A dispatch from Salisbury says that Cecil
Rhodes started on Tuesday for Buluwayo,
taking with him 150 troops. The opinion
is generally entertained that Rhodes is
fully capable of dealing with the revolt in
Matabeleland.
The Matabele revolt, according TO ad-
vices from Buluwayo, is not confined to
the Matoppo Hills, where the rebellious
Matabeles are concentrated. The legisla-
tive authorities of the Chartered Company
represent that horses and an abundant
supply of arms, ammunition and pro-
visions are required, and when these have
been collected it is proposed to sweep the
hills with several columns of troops of
about $50 men each. Five hundred
mounted men are accompanying Cecil
Rhodes from Salisbury to Gwelo.
The telegraph line between Buluwayo
and this city has been repaired. Dis
patches dated March 81 have been re-
ceived, giving details of fights with the
natives. Olimo, the instigator of the ris-
ing, has proclaimed himself King of the
Matabeles.
Governor Robinson has sent message
to President Kruger heartily thanking him
for his offer TO send a burgher force to pro-
tect the women and children threatened
by the rising of the Matabeles. Governor
Robinson says he considers the force of
500 men sufficient, but adds that he is
none the less sensible of the friendly
spirit displayed by the people OF the Trans
vaal
LONDON, Enc, April "A dispatch to
the Central News from Cape Town says
that 2000 rifles were sent from Johannes
burg to Pretoria on Saturday last and, to-
gether with ammunition, were issued on
Sunday to Beers and railway officials
The distribution of the arms caused the
widest rumors, but the general opinion is
that the arms were given out as a provi-
sion against possible developments in the
Matabele rising.

came out of the union depot at o'clock
this afternoon and. crossing the bridge
over the Chicago River. turned suddenly
and ieaped into the stream.
Despite the efforts of the bridge-tender
and two policemen the man drowned be-
fore the eyes of 200 or 800 people, who
had quickly gathered on the bridge. 1t is
believed TO be a case of suicide; but the
bridge-tender, who saw the man jump,
says he cried for help as he rose the first
time.
The man had evidently just arrived in
town, as he carried a satchel. The police
worked until dark, but failed to recover
the body. AS high wind has been blow
ing all day it has probably hoated out into
the lake.
