THE GUSSIE FAILED
BECAUSE THE NEWSPAPERS
TOLD BLANCO SHE WAS
COMING.
CORRESPONDENTS ARE NOW NOTIFIED
They are Officially Told that They Must Say
Nothing Of Any Similar Expedition
Until The Return Of the
Boat

Tampa Fla, May 17-Every newspa-
per correspondent at Tampa has been
officially notified that in future no men
tion must be made Of any expedition
similar to that Of the Gussie last week.
until the success Of the expedition has
been assured by the return of the boat.
Army officers are much chagrincd over
the failure to place the sorely needed
arms, ammunition and supplies with
which the Cassie was started, into the
hands of the insurgents They believe
that, had not such wide publicity been
given to the affair. the chances for sue,
cess would have been much greater. 1t
had been arranged by Captain Dorst
that the insurgents should meet the ex-
pedition and take care Of the supplies.
but the fact that the news Of the con-
templated departure OF the Gussie was
published almost twelve hours before the
hour fixed for leaving, was undoubtedly
communicated to General Blanco at
once and enabled him to establish am
etfectual patrol Of the coast.
The correspondents have also been
notified that the paper publishing any
such story before it is permissible to do
so, viii be debarred from sending any
representative into Cuba The intention
IS TO hereafter keep a close watch on

troops or ships from Tampa and to en-
