Fulbustering Exnedltion Prevented

jacksonville, Fla, April 5. - The
cruiser Vesuvius prevented Cuban
expedition from leaving Fernandina
Saturday night and captured the tug
Alexander Jones, of Wilmington, n
c. The tug was preparing to carry an
expedition headed by General Sanguil-
ly which was to be placed on board
the steamer Bermuda. The Bermuda
was seen, but the vessel was outside
the three mile limit and under the Brit
ish flag, so that the commander Of the
Vesuvius had no authority to detaiu
her. The tug win probably be fined foI
violation of the navigation laws in hav-
ing only two lights displayed.

IN TIE DARK LAND


Rumored Massacre OF nm Anglo-Belg1an
African Expedition.
The Brussels Reforme says 1t learns
from good source that the entire
Dhanis expedition to the headwaters
Of the Nile, including Baron Dhanis
himself, has been massacred.
The baron, last year, enlisted 6.000
men in the Congo FREQ State, to take
part in secret expedition. The Brit
ish government allowed number Ct
its Haussl troops TO join the expedi-
tion, but IL officially denied that an
Anglo Belgian movement had been
concerted against the Mahdists. Tho
general impression, however, was that
this force was intended to net in CON.
junction with the Anglo Egyptian ex-
pedition up the Nile and take the Nah
dfsts between two fires, and eventually
complete the re-conquest OF tho Sou
dan. In August last Baron Dhanis
was reported to have arrived at Lado,
north OF the territory Of the Congo
Free State, on the White Milo and
some 325 miles north Of the Victoria
Nyanza. 1t was then understood that
the expedition would pnsh on north
ward in the direction Of Khartoum.
Early in December last it was re-
ported that the expedition had met
with disaster and also that Baron
Dhanis had been killed. Later it was
authoriiatively stated that there was
no ground for the report aud that
when last heard from, in September,
the baron was at Stanley Falls, 600
miles from the nearest dervish forces.
