Work on the Part of the Filibus-
tiers.

Wilmington, n. c., May 3O.-The
Messenger today prints detailed ac-
count of the loading of the tug Alex
ander Jones and her departure with
the schooner John D. Long on Cuban
hlibustering expedition. The facts were
obtained from a member of the crew
of the Alexander Jones. which returned
to port several days ago. His story
substantially is as follows:
On Thursday night. May Is, the Jones
took on a cargo of rifles. machetes,
rapid firing guns and ammunition at
the wharf of the Wilmington, New
bern & Norfolk railway in the southern
limits of the city. Before she had en-
tirely finished her cargo a report was
started that officers were approaching
and that the revenue cutter Morril was
getting I'D steam. Taking alarm at
this, the Jones pulled out and started
down the river at 1915 p M, and in a
few hours crossed the bar and anchored
outside. The schooner John D. Long,
having meanwhile been loaded with
coal and other material at the Will
mington and Weldon railroad wharf,
was shortly afterwards towed out TO
sea by the tug Jacob Brandon, going
past the revenue cutter Colfax. On the
schooner were General Munez and
another officer of the Cuban army. "a
Cuban pilot and Captain Jonn O'Brien
of the flibustering tug Dauntless. At
the sea buoy they went on board the
Jones anchored near by and Captain
O'Brien took charge of the expedition
A hawser was made fast from the
Jones to the schooner and early Friday
morning the tug steamed to the south
with her tow. The Jacob Brandon re-
turned to Southport.
On the way down the coast no port
was entered, but off Palm Beach, on
the coast of Florida. 81 Cubans were
taken on board. The Jones then towed
the schooner to the Bahamas and in
the vicinity anchored in the open sea
on May is. On May 20, the filibuster
Dauntless hove in sight and came
alongside the Jones and the schooner. !
She coaled from the schooner, took a |
cargo of arms from the Jones and, |
with Captain O'Brien in command, /
headed for the Cuban coast. about 60 |
miles away She left the Jones between |
and o'clock Thursday night. made /
landing in Cuba near Mat I
anzas and. after an absence of "a hours |
to the Jones and went on |
board the Dauntless and accompanied I
Captain O'Brien.
When the Dauntless left with her
second cargo the Jones coaled from the
schooner, towed her off Cape Canaveral.
Fla. and turned her loose. She sailed
back and got into Southport yesterday
The cargo carried out of here was
ralued at $4,000. and is said to have
,een the second largest ever landed in
cuba.
The member Of the crew above re-
erred to says there is no truth in the
tory that the Jones was chased and
ired on by the Spanish war vessel.
me Jones never saw the smoke of such
war vessel while on her trip.

SPANISH EDITORS SNORT.
Don't Like the Manner in Which
Business is Done.


Havana, May SO.--In leading arti-
Gle this morning FL Diario de la Mar
ina makes a scathing indirect attack
upon Commissioner Calhoun by criti-
oising articles which have appeared in
a Washington newspaper over the sig
nature of Mr.. Pepper. who. in the guiSe
of an intimate friend of President Nc
Kinley and Mr.. Calhoun, ACCOMPANIED
the latter to CuLa.
FL Diaro de Ia Marina maintains that
many incidents of the interior working
of the mixed commission, which are
wholly private. have been divulged in
Mr. Peppers letter, thus tending to
compromise Mr. Calhoun. The paper
also resents Mr.. Peppers unfriendly at
titude toward Spain in his reports on
the Cuban question, expressing disgust
that while he blames Spain for the
natural result of the war. he has 70
word of censure for the Cuban insur-
gents, whose torches are destroying
the wealth of the island.
In closing its article. El Diario de la
Marina calls attention to the fact that
two New York newspapers whose Gu
ban representatives are scarcely fav-
orable to Spain, maintain bureaus in
Havana under the same roof with the
United States consul general, intimat-
ing without much delicacy that the
correspondents of these newspapers
are virtually under the wing of Gen
eral Fitzhugh Lee. and draw most of
their inspiration from him.
Mr.. Fishback, accompanied by Mr..
Pepper went into the interior today to
visit Guanajay Mr.. Calhoun spent
the day with General Lee at the Amer
lean consulate.
Captain General Weyler went from
Tunas to Jucaro on Friday, but re-
turned to Tunas today.
The insurgents dynamited a passen-
ger train between Santa Clara and Es-
peranza. The baggage car was cap
sized and the locomotive and three
cars were derailed, but no
ives were lost.

Washington. May sO.-The attempt to
embarrass Speaker Reed for the pro-

Jority has become the settled policy of
Representative Simpson and other mem
be-s of the minority and the sessions OF
TIE house this week will witness a con-
ence report of the sundry civil and
Indian appropriation bills are ready for
consideration and the leaders would like
to dispose of them. But the difficulty now
IS that many of the members have gone
home and at present there IS no quorum
in the city. This will interfere with the
desire of the leaders to recess until [ues-
day when the house meets tomorrow and
compel an adjournment until Thursday.
On that day if a quorum is present the
house will proceed with these two con-
ference reports and also the bill carrying
appropriations. for the government print
