 Tug Left Savannah.
 Savannah, Ga., Feb. 14-The tug Daunt- less which has been engaged in very successful towing business here for the past month, went to sea yesterday, as was supposed at the time, on one of her regu- lar cruises for incoming vessels. She had taken on board a supply of coal, which created some suspicion among the Spanish authorities As she passed down
 
 officers of the revenue cutters Boutwell, and Cofax but nothing was found on board to indicate that she was going on another filibusterng expedition.
 One thing is certain, namely, that the Dauntless has been closely watched by the limited States authorities here and that she left with nothing on board except full supply of coal, which is not an unusual occurrence.
 She has not as yet returned.

' New York, Feb. 14--It is now learned on the highest authority that the real reason for sending the United States torpedo boat Cushing to Havana was that the Spanish authorities have been tampering with mail sent to the battleship Maine in Havana har bor. says the Washington correspondent of the Herald.
 This resulted in Captain Sigsbee of the Maine sending a protest to Washington with a suggestion that a regular service be established between Key West and Havana by means of torpedo boat.
 On the strength of the protest the Cush- ing was dispatchd to Havana.
 Although 1t has been frequently report ed that official mail has been tempered with in the past, Secretary Long said last night that he had received no reports from Captain Sigsbee saying that the Spanish authorities had interfered with his letters in any way.
 ''The dispatch of the Cushing to Havana" he continued, twas in line with the de- partment's action in sending the Maine on a friendly visit to that port and the Mont gomery to Santiago de Cuba and Manzan- illo. expect she Is now or will be soon on her way back to Key West"
