The Vesuyius Heads off a Party
Led by Sanguilly,

Jacksonyille, Fla, April 5.-The
cruiser Vesuyius prevented u Cuban en-
peditlon from leaving Fernandina last
night and captured the tug Alexander
Jones, of Wilmington, N. c. The
cruiser left here suddenly yesterday af-
ternoon upon the Information furnished
by Spanish Vice Consul Potous, that an
expedition would leave Fernandina at 12
o'clock at night. The cruiser went down
the river and anchored off Fernandina
Bar. About 10 O'Clock tug with only
two lights burning at the masthead was
seen to approach and the fashlight of
The Vesuvius was thrown upon her. The
I>tug proved to be the Alexander Jones and
the captain gave as an excuse for his pres
ence 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 the Bermuda, which was
expected.
A steamer was finally seen coming
from the South j having the same signal
displayed as those of the Jones' The
hashlight was again used, ut which the
steamer TUNED and sSarted in another
direction. A signal from the Vesuvius
brought the steamer to standstill, how.
ever, and she was seen to be the Bermuda.
The Bermuda was outride of the three
mile limit and under The British flag,
so that the commander of the Vesuvius
had no authority to detain her. The
bermuda apparently had no cargo on
board, landing very high OUT of the
water. The Jones was escorted into the
port of Fernandina. and turnad over to
the collector of customs, who placed n
deputy on board. The tug will probably
be fined for violation of the navigation
laws in having only two lights displayed
The plans of the Cubans were for Gen.
acral Sanguilly to leave this city with
party of Cubans for Fernandina. A
small tug was then to tow two lighters
loaded with arms and ammunition and
the men out to the bar, where they were
to be met by the tug Jones with coal and
provisions aboard and everything was to
he transferred to the Bermuda The
quick action of the Vesuvius prevented
their plans from being carried out.
