NEW YORK, Nov. so.-Captain-G Gen.
eral Blanco crushed in the bud the hrst
overt act of hostility against the estab-
lishment of autonomy on the part OF the
Intransigeants, led by Weyler partisans,
says the correspondent Of the Herald at
Havana.
The government has for some days
been aware that demonstration was
about to be made. 1t was discovered yes
terday that 1t would take the form Of a
secret circular, calling on radical Span
iards to thwart the plans Of the present
administration.
The police raided the printing Office
of Ell Commercio and seized a large
number of printed circulars. They were
headed "Viva Weyler," and contained a
glorification of Weyler and a virulent at
tack upon the United States and Gen.
eral Blanco. The circulars were signed
by many Spaniards and bore the date.
santa Clara, November 23rd.'
These circulars have been distributed
velopes purporting to contain funeral
notices.
The discovery was followed immedi-
ately by the arrest Of Eva Canet, we'll
known newspaper woman, who Is motor
ious as one of the most active Of Wey-
ler's partisans; Jose Hermida, the
Mayors secretary, and three other en-
ployes of the printing office.
Considerable excitement was caused
by the arrests, which were generally ap-
plauded by the friends of order" as CIV
ing proof of the determination of the
government to stand firm in its inten-
ton to carry out its program and deal
sternly with all attempts to excite vio-
lence.

THE DAUNTLESS EXPEDITION
NEW YORK, Nov. 3O.-The steamer
Dauntless has again eluded the officials
of the government and is off for Cuba
with a cargo of arms and ammunition
saws the Jacksonville correspondent fol
the Herald. The Dauntless left this port
November l4th for Savannah. Ca, with
the schooner Jennie Thomas in tow. The
schooner was supposed to be without
cargo and when the famous f1libustei
was held up at the mouth Of the st
Johns River and searched by the cruiser
vesuvius, little attention was paid tc
the Jennie Thomas. Nothing was found
on the Dauntless and after an hours de-
lay she was allowed to proceed with
her tow.
That was the fatal mistake of the gov
ernment officials, for If the schooner had
been searched 1t Is said that large
cargo of munitions would have bey1
found. The schooner was towed to- fhe
mouth of the Savannah River /and
dropped, and on Monday the Dayhtless
was boarded by Captain O'Briep better
known as Dynamite Johnny and I'M
mediately put to sea. She is believed
to have effected a landingfon Sunday
night on the southern coast of Cuba.

the windsor Hotel II this city at lunch

O'Brien left the same night and boarded
