ship Indiana off the st. Johns bar, Flor
ida, is only another evidence of the pre-
cautionary measures adopted. Whether
the treasury department has any informa-
ti1n or not on the subject has not been as
certained, but it is certain that the Off
cialc there believe that another filibuster-
ing expedition Is in contemplation, If it
has not already been planned.
Instructions have been sent to the col
lector of customs at Jacksonville, with
reference to the renewed application of
the detained steamer Dauntless for per-
mission to go to Fernandina on wreck
ing trip, that the department stands on
the grounds previously stated, in effect
that unless the owners of the Dauntless
make the required legal affidavit that the
vessel does not intend to engage in vio-
lation of the neutrality or navigation
laws, the vessel must remain in the col
lector's custody. This affidavit the own
ers of the Dauntless refused to make, al
though agreeing to proceed from Jackson

States. combination of the Bermuda
and the Dauntless is what the treasury
and navy officials are seeking to prevent.

tering patrol work, and the navy depart
ment has increased its force by the as
signrnent of the Marblehead, the Vesuvius
