counts Of the affair.
1T Is this way" he said last night; 'I

the risk Of drowning themselves. Then, had

seem reasonable to me that the ship was
the victim Of traitors.
1T Is much more probable that the vessel
was In dangerous condition when it was
bought. The Cubans have to proceed quiet
~ and secretly in all such deals, and they
are neeced on every hand. To make them
victims is perfectly safe, as they have no
redress when they have been swindled.
Then the price at which this vessel is stated
to have been bought is so low that 1t was
hardly expected that really serviceable
vessel could be secured. I fully appreciate
the fact that If it is proven that the vessel
was scuttled it will have powerful effect

pr. Gaiteras says that, while the Cubans
are poor and while the loss Is a severe blow,
1t Is not irreparabie, and will simply delay
for time Cuban independence Cartridges
are very much needed in Cuba, he SAYS, and
the necessary delay while another expedi-
ton Is being fitted out will be considerable.
He thinks, however, that the disaster will
have the good effect of increasing public
sympa thy with the Cuban cause, as it shows
that If the boat was not scuttled the Cubans
were sWindled In buying 1t, and either sup
position will probably strike the public as
being an injustice to the fighting Cubans.

A STRANGE FATALITY,

Disaster Attends the Cuban's Engage
lment of Craft ut baltimore.
From the Baltimore Sun
A strange fatality seems to follow all the
vessels that are purchased in Baltimore for
alleged hlibustering expeditions in the in
terest of the struggling Cuban cause. The
loss Of the fishing steamer James Woodall
after she had evidently performed a good
service for the Cubans, began the series
The fishing steamer j. H. Hawkins, lost at
sea on Sunday night, and the drowning OF
some of the contingent Of patriots. added a
second mishap to the steamers purchased
here for what after developed into schemes
to aid the insurgents in Cuba.
1t Is now admitted that the tug Mascot
which was purchased here last November
by Mr.. Scandelli for service he said, al
Port-au-Spain, Trinidad, HAS met with dis
aster at sea. 1t is reasonably supposed that
the Mascot has been lost with all on board.
Her crew of zine men belonged to Balti-
more. Her master, Capt. A. McCready. be-
longed to New York. Two months ago yes
terday the Mascot passed out the capes for
the Port of San Lucia, where Capt McCready
said he would first touch for coal, to con-
tinue to his destination. Since then not one
word has been beard from the crew, several
OF whom faithfully promised their relatives
TO write upon their arrival at the first port
IL was expected to make San Lucia in twelve
days at the most.
Those who had something to do with the
purchase of the Mascot say that it is very
probable that the Mascot was caught in the
act of smuggling contraband of war by some
Spanish man-of-war, which ran her down
to make quick work Of the boat and her oc-
cupants. Again, the knowing say that she
is quietly plying her business along the
Cuban coast. Both explanations are re-
garded as untenable as the purchaser of the
boat said he bought her for the owner and
manufacturer of bitters, who lives at Port
au-Spain. 1t Is more generally accepted that
the Mascot was lost in the hurricane that
pr evailed about the West Indies and along
the coast Of the United States soon after
she left the capes. The relatives Of some
of the men on board have given up hopes
of hearing from those on board
