Rescued by the BENEDICT.
Boston, Jan. 20.-At no time since the
outbreak of the present Cuban Insured,
tion has interest in it been so intense
among scafaelng men as now. The arriy.
o. Of the schooners Helen II. Benedict
and Leandcr " Becbe are anSiously await
ed TO furnish more satisfactory details Of
the laundering Of the steamer J. W. Haw
kins, carrying an alleged 1libustering expe
dition, IN the waters south of New Eng
land. Both of the schooners mentioned
are coal laden, bound from Norfolk to
Boston, and according to meagcr particu
lars Of the disaster at sea are bringing in
to safety many survivors, the exact mum
Der Of those lost being undetermined until
the number saved are fully accounted for.
The men rescued by the schooner Helen
II. Benedict loft at once for New York via
Woods Holl and exhibited great reticence
in imparting details Of their being wreck
cd. They admitted being passengers on
the steamer j. W. Hawkins, Captain
Woodrow, which left New York Sunday
night with over 100 men on board.
The steamer J. w. Hawkins sailed fol
Cuba, and among her cargo were cannon,
arms and large supply Of ammunition.
The rescuers declare that the Hawkins
proved TO be nnseaworthy and should new
or have put 20 sea. The steamer was 1876
tons net, built at Kennebunk, Me-, In
1880 and cleared from OnancoOk, Va
during the period she was in the fishery
business. After being docked at Balti-
more for months Mr.. Tingsiey bought
her for a Mr. Smith of New York clear
ing up at the sale numerous outstanding
claims with the former crews, two firms
which had threatened libel proceedings
and with the shipyard.
The Leander V. Beebe was seen to res
cue one boat crew, and the Alicia b. Cros-
by reached Vineyard Haven bringing in
10 more men. The latter, while inclined
TO be noncommittal and as anxious to re-
turn to New York as those rescued by the
Benedict, volunteered some information
about the Hawkins, but the facts they
gave are unsatisfactory. A three masted
schooner picked up two boatloads, which
is supposed to account for 90 or more
The rescued do not agree on the number
carried 10y the steamer
The Beebe, with "A fair wind, should
reach Boston within the next "a hours un-
less She has put back to the Delaware
brealSwatcr, which some of the rescued
think is probable. The Spanish minister
had notified the state department that the
Hawkins had left New York with an ex-
pedition Of l50 men, with arms and stores,
in command Of Calisto Garcia, for Cuba,
with the intention Of picking up off a
southern port-probably Palm Beach, Fla
more men and stores.

Filibusters Reach Cuba I'm Safety.

New HAVEN, Jan. ga report that
three vessels were fitted out in the inter
est of the Cuban insurgents ON the Long
Island coast, as given in a local paper, is
correct as far as can bo asccrtainod. Sew
eral fishermen and others who have seen
vessels on the Long Island coast not far
from this city report that they have un-
derstood for some time that mt least two
vessels were being fitted out for a foreign
cruise of somo sort.
The work Of fitting the vessels has been
in progress for months, and it is stated
that all three vessels have reached Cuba in
safety. They passed out Of the sound at
different times by Montauk point and New
London. The government people were
watching the New York end of the island
and were not expecting that flibusters
would leave by this route.
Tho last vessel sailed about month
ago. IL is understood that the arms and
ammunition with which the vessels were
laden came from Connecticut factories.
