THE BERMUDA LIBELED.

Said To BE Scheme To Procure Her
American Registry.
Philadelphia, June 1o.-The steamer
Bermuda which was recently deprived
of her registry by the British consul at
this port because, it is said, of her al
legged flibustering expeditions, and
which has since been lying at Camden,
N. j., has been seized by United States
Marshal Pfeiffer of New Jersey on a
libel filed by three seamen for unpaid
wages. The amount claimed by the
seamen is S27.75. 1t is said that the
filing of the libel is part of a plan to
secure registry for the steam er under
the American flag. 1t was stated that
if the vessel should be sold by order of
the United States court and purchased
by an American citizen her past record
would be wiped out and her owner
could procure new papers and sail her
under the American flag. The seamen
who brought the proceedings are Geo.
Mansen, Servente Goden and John
Petersen. They claim that they were
engaged to ship on the steamer on
April I3, when she was preparing for
her last trip to Jamaica. After working
for nine days on the vessel they were
told, they claim, that she would proba-
bly, engage in hazardous undertaking
and they refused to sign the shipping
articles. The mate then gave them an
account of the wages due them. When
they presented this to John d. Hart,
the reputed owner, payment was re-
fused. Lawyer Harrison Voorhees, of
Camden, who represents the seamen,
denies that the suit has been instituted,

The Filibustering Steamer Laurada Takes

filibustering steamer Laurada, from

Saturday last. A Spanish warship was
in pursuit of her, but, of course, did
not enter the port in her effort to cap

still off the port waiting for the
Laurada to leave. 1t is believed that
the latter landed large quantity of
munitions of war in Cuba. If she
should be pursued when she leaves
Port Antonio she will run along tho
coast within the marine league limit
until her superior speed enables her to
stand out to sea in advance of the
