TO STOP FILIBUSTERING.
President Cleveland Determined to
End Unlawful Expeditions.

WASHINGTON Jan. 2-The dynamite
cruiser Vesuvius and the armed dispatch
vessel Dolphin have been ordered to Flor
ida waters to reinforce the already num-
erous fleet of government vessels now en-
gagged in the effort to suppress the filbus-
tering expeditions bound for Cuba. There
are two ships-the Newark and
the Raleigh-helping the revenue cutters in
this service. and it may be that the cutter
feet will also be reinforced If it is practi-
cable to spare any more of the few vessels
still held on duty for the usual revenue ma
rine service on the Atlantic coast. This is
somewhat doubtful. for it is said that near
ly all of the revenue cutters which are not
absolutely required at the present moment
to perform boarding duty are already on
the Florida coast, watch for filibus-
ters elsewhere. All of this force gathered
in one vicinity is taken to mean that the
government is determined to leave no
sound ground fer claim by the Spanish
government that it has failed TO meet all
requirements Of international law in pre-
venting the departure of hostile expedl-
tions from our shores to aid the Cubans.
and 10 enable it to assert that it has used
the "due vigilance prescribed as a condi-
ton of avoiding pecuniary responsibility
The Dolphin is at the Washington navy
yard and probably will sail as soon as she
get on board the necessary stores and
ammunition. Her captain. Commander
Glover, at the Navy Department to-
day consulting with the officials respect
ing the programme for the movements of
his ship. Though a dispatch vessel tech
nically, the Dolphin would be a formidable
craft TO hlibuster, not so much on ac-
count of her speed. which is about fifteen
knots. from her machine guns her main
battery and active crew. She carries two
47-millimeter Hotchkiss guns, several six
FOUNDER guns of the same type and two
4-inch rapid-fire rifles. From his experience
as chief of the photographic Office Com
mander Glover is well fitted TO navigate his
ship safely in the narrow channels and
passes of the Florida coast.
The Vesuvius should be particularly use-
full in patrol duty on account of her speed
twenty-one knots an hour. and there is
nothing afioat on the Atlantic coast In the
shape OF a merchant private-owned vessel
that could escape her in a fair run. with
the possible exception of that yacht YAM
oose. and ii is said ii would be ''toss-up''
between them. with the odds in favor OF
the dynamite boat, owing TO her superior
ability TO endure long rum
Besides dynamite guns. the Vesuvius has

a. small but effective battery made up of
three three-pounder Hotchkiss guns, suffi-
cient to stop anything short of an armored
craft within distance of three miles. She
draws only seven feet of wate- and, there
fore. will be able to follow the small fill
clustering craft into the shallow waters IN
which. heretofore, they have found a refuge
from the deep draft naval vessals and
larger revenue cutters. The Vesuvius is
now at the League Island navy yard htting
out rapidly for service after lying out of
commission for nearly two years. 1t is ex-
pected that she can go into commission on
the 18th inst. under command of Lieutenant
Commander Pillsbury. who has been de-
tached from the naval war college.
The question was asked of the treasury
officials to-day what more in the direction
of restraining the departure of vessels with
arms for Cuba be expected of a dozen
war ships than of one. as long as the Gu
ban-bound boats are permitted to clear reg
ularly and according to law. No satisfac-
tory answer could be returned, but il APP
peared that the officials are acting under
the belief that the clearance scheme is
really intended blind. and that the pur
pose of the Cubans is to have one or more
relief boats slip away surreptitiously while
the authorities are looking after the de-
parture of the vessel for which clearance
papers are sought.

WHAT CUBANS WANT.
Mr. Pierra Says Nothing Short of In
dependence VIII BE Accepted.


CLEVELAND, Jan. 2. Secretary Fide
Cleveland to-day. I'VE struck the word
years ago." was his reply to a reporters
which Spain now seems inclined would be
possible. with us there shall be no such
thing as compromise. We will have no
home rule-nothing that will keep the Span
ish flag on Cuban soil. Home rule would
mean only a few misrepresentation and
broken promises and a renewal of hostili-
ties in a few months. We want independ-
ence or we want war.
Has the death OF Maceo affected your
hopes of victory?'
mo. indeed His murder was a tremen-
dous shock TO US, but it will only make the
struggle more deadly because it will inten-
sify the hatred of the patriots. A capable
can depend on it the fight will go on"
Are you taking any steps TO encourage
the emigration of would-be soldiers TO
Cuba?"
mo: we don't need men. What We need
is arms and ammunition. and with 100000
rifles we could end the war.
The Cuban sympathy mass meeting this
evening filled Army and Navy Hail to the
doors. The gathering was an enthusiastic
one. Addresses were delivered by Senor
Junto in New York; DR.. Henry Lincoln

Relief Corps. also of New York; Rabbi NJ
