Titusville. Fla, March s.-Despite the
prscaution exercised by the United
States authorities. large, well-equipped
filibustering expedition sailed from Cape
Canaveral the other day for Cuba Cape
Canaveral Is a few miles south Of here
and is an ideal place for the departure
of hlibusters because OF its loneliness
The expedition did not originate at Cana
veral. The men composing II were
gathered at Key West and Tampa by
Gallaho, who has made repeated efforts
to get to Cuba. After Gallaho had Sc
cured his men they were taken on board
thres-masted schooner at point above
Key West. The schooner then sailed
for Canayeral, where arms and ammuni-
tion were cached The vessel arrived of
Canaveral, ard boats came ashore and
quickly transported the munitions to the
vessel. About nightfall the task was
completed and the schooner sailed for
Cuba There were over 100 men OF the
schooner some Of whom were Americans.
One was an ex-official OF Key West.
The vessel carried about 1000 sihes and
$4,000 cartridges. a lot Of machetes and
some dynamite. II Is said the stores
were l@ft on Cape Canavera1 some time
ago by the steamer Three Friends Of
Jacksonville, according to prearrange-
ment with Cubans. The Three Friends
was owned by three ardent Cuban SYM
pathizers. The vessel lett Jacksonville
ten days ago. ostensibly for Nassau.
She proceeded along the east coast and
lay to night of canaveral. and. 1t is
said, landed and concealed the arms.
The Three Friends then proceeded to
Key West. and her owners announced
that the Nassau trip was abandoned
At Key West the Cuban leaders were
informed WHERE the arms were stored.

thing. for last week customs officials
were combing the coast. Finding moth

and the Cubans secured the arms and
got away unmolested. The Spanish min
lister at Washington some time ago COM
planned that the Three Friends was en-
