JACKSONVILLE. Fla, April 5.--The
cruiser Vesuvius prevented Cuban ex-
petition from leaving Fernandina Sat-
urday night and captured the tug Alex
snder Jones of Wilmington, N. @. The
cruiser left here suddenly Saturday aft
ernoon upon information furnished by
Spanish Vice Consul Potous, that an ex-
petition would leave Fernandina at 12
o'clock at night. The cruiser went
down the river and anchored of Fer
nandina bar.
About 10 o'clock, tug with only two
lights burning at the masthead was
seen TO approach and the fiashlght of
the Vesuvius was thrown upon her.
The tug proved to be the Alexander
Jones and the captain gave as az excuse
for his presence that he was waiting for
tows An officer from the vesuvius
was placed aboard and then the cruiser
went out to sea in search OF tho BeT niu-
da, which was expected.
A steamer was finally seen coming
from the south, having the same signals
displayed as those of the Jones. The
fiashlight was again used, at which the
steamersturned and started in another
direction. A signal from the Vesuvius
brought the steamer to standstill,
however, and she was seen to be the
Bermuda. The Bermuda was outside
the three mile limit and under the
British flag, so that the commander of
the Vesuvius had no right to detain her,
The Bermuda apparently had no cargo
on board. standing very high out of the
water.
The Jones was escorted into the port
of Fernandina and turned over to Col
lector of Customs Baltzell, who placed a
deputy aboard. The tug probably will
be fined for violation of the naviga-
ton laws in having only two lights dis
played
The plans of the Cubans were for
Sanguilly to leave this city
with party of Cubans for Fernandina
A small tug was then to tow two light
ers loaded with arms and ammunition
and theme Quito the bar, where they
were te,be met by the tug Jones, with
coal and provisions aboard and every
thing was to be transferred to the Ber-
muda. The quick action of the Yesu-
wins prevented their plans from being
carried out.
