DACNTLESS IN CUSTODY
The Steamer Obliged TO Remain at
Jacksonville.

Jacksonville.
The alleged flibustering steamer Daunt-
less, in whose behalf suit was filed Thurs
ayagainStthe collector of customs at Jack
sonv;lle declined To accept the conditions i'm
posed by the Treasury Department for her
departurefrom that port and as a result was
not permitted to leave.
1t is learned at the Treasury Department
that permission was asked by the owners
OF the DauntlesS, then in the custody of the
collector, to permit the vessel to proceed
in a wrecking expedition to Fernandna
Fla. The suggestion was made by the
DauntlesS people that an officer of the
Federal GOV oJernnentaccompany the steamer
as custodian. The Treasury Department
granted the permission imposing, however,
the further condition that affdavits should
be furnished that there was no intention
violate the navigation and neutrality la VS.
The owners OF the Dauntless declined
to make the sworn statement and the
steamer was obliged to remain at jackson
vile.
A renewal OF the application for per
mission to allow the Dauntless to proceed
from Jacksonville to Fernandina without
conditions other than the presence of a
Federal officer on board was made to
the Treasury Department later in the
day, but it is unlikely that the depart
ment will change its first decision.
1t Is suspected there that a combination
of filibustering expeditionsis being planned
The Bermuda was reported to have left
Bermuda for Fernandina several days
ago, and the officers of the revenue patrol
are on the lookout for her. As Fernan-
dina is also the proposed destination OF
the Dauntless, the Department officials
think there's good ground for proceed
ing with the utmost care in dealing with
the steamers suspected of being engaged
in flibustering operations

It is q matter for regret among those who
patronize Boyle's saloon on Grand street, Eliza

gan their argument on tho subject OF George
Washington's generalship. 1t happened on

were making public speeches about the father Of
his country. Cornell. who is a Yankee, started
tho argument, and Moritz, who Is Pole. took It
up, tho result being such vigorous discussion
that the audience was going to mako up q coll
lection TO hire hall when the knife cut It short.
Cornell's FIRST proposition was that George
Washington was not only tho Father OF His
Country, but also the greatest man that ever
lived Nobody took exception to this. Then he
put forward the proposition that Washington
was the greatest General in history and that
with the Continental army behind him, he could
have subdued all Europe, hitched . cablo To It,
