CUBA LIDRE VIVE u PATRIA |

A Mig Regiment VIII Probably Leav,
Delaware In Few Weeks to Aid th'
Cubans In Their Fight for Indepsnd ence
How it Was Formed.
Several weeks ago an advertisement
calling upon able bodied men to 20 on
long excursion appeared In various news
papers throughout the state Attached
to the advertisement was the name OF q
prominent member OF the Cuban Junta,
residing In Philadelphia.
Shortly after the appearance OF the
advertisement IL was ascertained that q
regiment was being formed here TO 20 to
Cuba TO aid the insurgents In some way
the Spanish authorities learned Of the
movement and early in March corps OF
Plnkertons visited this city and kept a
close watch on local Cuban resorts for
two weeks Falling to gather any evi .
dence they reported but returned about
two weeks ago when It was reported
that a LRrty OF Cubans camping on
Chincoteague Island had started an
expedition from that place for Cuba aud
that arms and am mmuniation were being
shipped TO Chinooteague from this city
This tilp proved as fruitless as the
previous one, and they left the city In
two days
While they were In the city those In
terested In the formation OF the reRi-
ment suspended the work OF securing
recruits.
Since Their departure, however, the
promoters OF the excursion" movement
have been especially active aud claim
that they now have the formation Of the
regiment complete
The leader Of the movement Ia Captain
William Barney, OF this city. who do
clRres that the excurslon will leave here
soon, unless the concurrent resolution
reosntly passed by the aouse OF Repre-
sentatlves Is followed In few days by a
proclamation according the Cuban's
bellieerent rights. Nothing definite re-
Ksrding the sizs Of the excursion or the
amount OF ammunition it will carry c.n'
be aseertalned at this time, though IL is
said that the long list OF recruits already
secured includes many prominent mem
bers OF the National Guard.
AS to the manner 10 which the excur-
sion will leave here nothing dshnite eau
be agcertAined at this time, but 1t Is
understood that It's departure will be as
quiet and uuostentatl,us as that OF the
members OF the Second Regiment, Of
Philsdelphin, who secretly enlisted Ia the
insurRent army last month and who are
