THE HEELUSIVEDAUNTLES
How the Steamer Again Avoided
Government Vessels.
CUBANS GAVE OUT FALSE NEWS

With the Evident Intention of Throw
ing Government Officers or Their
Guard-The Vessel Now Probably
Unloaded by Cuban Insurgents.
Tampa, Fla, June ia vessel sup
posed to be the Deuntless came into
Hillsborough bay Monday night and
look on a cargo Of arms and ammuni-
{ion from a schooner lying at anchor
pff the mouth of the Alfalfa river and
then sailed away. A report was sent
put Monday that the Dauntless had
bailed for Key West with an expedi-
hon. 1t was circulated by those i'll
lerested to throw the officers off their
kuard, and the Dauntless came in at
hight and got her cargo, The two
boats were tied up until about ii
o'clock, and In the moonlight could be
plainly seen from the river front.
7 J. Il. Cartaya and Charles Silva are
3he only ones who are known to be
kb0ard, and. they came up from Key
West. The schooner came into the bay
lnd anchored Saturday afternoon. Her
hame is not known. She was two
1asted and of about 1870 tons. Her hull
was black, and she was evidently we'll
loaded. Quite a number Of men went

lhrewd ruse. The Dauntless had an
Engagement to go on the ways here
Dn Monday, and had a government
Vessel come upon her unexpectedly she
would have had good excuse for be-
ing In Hillsborough bay.
! The whole affair was worked very
quietly. The mysterious schooner left
lbout daylight yesterday morning. No
pne seems to know what boat this is.
$ome assert that 1t is the Adams,
which received her load from the Bis
payne, and then ran up into this har-
Dor to meet steamer which would
lake the munitions to Cuba or out to
Jea to the Dauntless. There Is also a
rumor to the effect that the schooner
halls frC,m the nelghborhood of Car
tabelle and received her load at a
point where the railroad crosses the
fiyer. The presence of Captain Par
jim, prominent citizen of Carrabelle,
IN this city for the past few days adds
strength to the rumor. Since his ar
Rival he has been in conference with
parties formerly very active in the
hlbustering business.
A dispatch from Key West says: A
tug resembling the Dauntless passed
through the harbor yesterday morning
about O'Clock, and went through the
northwest channel. Her smokestack
was painted red. The Clyde tug went
