G4RCJ1 IN CUBI.

mIiy-Mep, Arms and Ammunition Safely Put on shore and Convey ed to the Cuban Headquarters-Spanls Guards Eluded- General Calixto Garcia in the InsurGent Camp.
 Havana, March 25,--The insurgent expedition which left New York on board the steamship Bermuda on March 15 has landed on the shores of Cuba.
 It Is positively known that the men, arms and ammunition on board the Bermuda were safely put on shore and conveyed to the headquarters of the Cubans, despite the vigilance of the Spanish guards.
 General Calixto Garcia was at the head of the party and is now under stood to be in the insurgent camp.
 New York, March 25.-The news that the Bermuda has escaped the vigilance of the Spaniards and has succeeded in landing an expedition on the island or Cuba was received with great enthu- siasm by patriots in this city.
 Garcia is such a valuable comman- der that his services under Gomez will probably prove a severe check to the Spaniards.
 The Bermuda carried over forty tons of rifles, revolvers, machetes and seV- eral machine guns, which had been seized by the United States marshal on T,- nt o,-oti making for the first expedition.
 Besides the firearms the Bermuda had also on board about 100000 cart ridges and quantity of dynamite. The cartridges were packed in boxes about eighteen inches deep, and were boldly marked because when the Bermuda was seized on February A the ammu- hilton was confiscated on the ground that the contents of the boxes had not been marked on the outside. The goods were seized on the tugboat Stranahan.
 The ammunition, provisions and fire arms were put on board the Bermuda on the Friday previous to her depart rlre. On the day before she sailed the Bermuda cleared for Vera Cruz. It was announced then by her apparent agents that the firearms and ammunition were for Mexico.
 The fact that the Bermuda was about to sail at the time was known to the government officers in this city, and also to the Spanish spies, but they were unable to detain her She steamed out with ten passengers, flying the Brit ish flag. All of her passengers were Cubans.
 ra,,f rffS Iyrn1- to stop the Bermuda because when she was seized on February A and 15O Gu bans arrested it was decided by Attor- ney General Harmon at Washington that there was no evidence against the Bermuda. The leaders of the expedi- ton, including General Garcia, were held in $250O bail each, which was giv- en in cash. General Garcia's bail has now been forfeited.
 General Garcia was not among the passengers on the Bermuda when she left this port. It is sasd that he and other men, who had sailed on the Flaw kins, went to Philadelphia and there joined the ship There were thirty three all told in General Garcia's party. Three times before the Bermuda fin ally got under way General Garcia tried to reach the insurgents, and each time he was prevented, His friends are hap py now that he has at last succeeded.
 Great credit is due to the commander of the Bermuda for landing the Garcia expedition in Cuba. He is a Yankee skipper, John O'Brien by name, fine navigator, and of an adventurous dis position.
 In his early career Captain O'Brien was Hell Gate pilot That was before the rocks had been blown up, and when the pilot carried hundreds of lives in the palm of his hand every time he steered a passenger boat through the boiling currents.
 Captain O'Brien Is little man. He weighs about 145 pounds. He sympa- thizes with the cause of Cuba, although not posing as a patriot He will prob- ably, 1t is said, receive $5,000 for land ing the expedition safely in Cuba.
 This Is not the first revolutionary ex- pedition that Captain OBrien has han dIed. He has risked his life several times in the same work. During the revolution in Hayti he took a filibus- tering expedition there, and carried dy- namite to the West Indies in the shaky OlQ SCIlOOIleI ydClll IS1llplSl. I1G FISK ed his neck, too, in transporting expedi- tions to re-enforce Central American revolutionists.
 It is not unlikely that after taking General Garcia and his party on board at Philadelphia the Bermuda may have stopped further south to take more patriots. Every effort was made by the Spaniards to prevent the Bermuda from landing. Dispatches from Ha. vana said that the gunboats were pa. trolling about watching for the ship.
 Just how Captain O'Brien eluded the Spanish guard may not be known, ever when he returns. It is probable that he disguised the Bermuda in some way and then slipped quietly into one of the many inlets about Cuba.
 The price at which the Bermuda was obtained is said to be S25,0 900. The cost of the expedition is fixed at about s100,00.
