ped horses right there and then. When

here again" The animal was stabbed

renown, VS.. the United States govern
men', was again taken up by United

fore Judge Bradford in United States

FILIBUSTER RUMORS.
Spanish to Release All Fill
clustering Prisoners.
ARE NOT GENERALLY CREDITED

ANOTHER EXPEDITION WHICH Is
ALLEGED TO HAVE SET SAIL
FROM THIS PORT ON SUNDAY
NIGHT-REASON OF CAPTAIN
HART'S VISIT.
A rumor is in circulation to the ef-
feet that all of the prosecutions against
alleged Cuban filibusters, or those who
had aided or abetted in sending expe-
ditions to the insurgents, were to be
withdrawn. The story came to several
Cuban sympathizers from Key West
through an inquiry from the Cuban
Junta in New York. The story 1t is
said, has been confirmed atWashington,
where Secretary of State Sherman and
Minister Dupry De LONE have filed con-
ferences on the matter and a conclu-
sion was reached that by releasing all
of those accused of filibustering against
THE Spanish government, would result
in securing for Spain a cessation of
Cuban hostillties at least during the
rainy season.
WHAT THE CUBANS SAY.
A Cuban sympathizer said this morn
ing that the report may be true. He
heard some talk about that sort of
Spanish clemency but we are not going
to take any supposed chances, he add
ed. Another one said that the report
was, in his opinion, a ruse on the part
of The Spanish government to have the
hOstilities in Cuba cease. when we
are mapping" he said. Spain would
swoop down on us. No, we are not
so easily caught"
ANOTHER EXPEDITION.
1t is understood that little sloop
slipped out of this narbor on Sunday
night, and that she carried arms and
ammunition to a steamer anchored of
Brigantine. After the sloop had de
pcsited her load it is said that she was
picked up by the tug in charge of The
steamer and tOwed to Philadelphia.
The steamer, after being loaded gOf
up steam and steamed down the Della
ware. II is also said that Pinkerton de
tectives were in this city and Chester
on Sunday night. They evidently
thought that the schooner would b'
ltOwed to either port, but instead sh'
was taken to Philadelphia.
WHAT MR.. VANDEGRTFT SAYS.
A Journal man called on United State
District Attorney Lewis c. Vandegrif
This morning and asked if he had re
ceived any information from this gov
ernment of the proposed step Of tn
Spanish government in dropping tn
cases against all of the alleged Cubal
flibuJ.ers. Mr. Vandegrif, remarked
Il do not believe IT," That was all h
would say.
