AFTER THE DAUNTLESS AGAIN
THE ALLEGED FILIBUsTER LIKELY
TO BE LIBELLED.

Information Pertaining to Her Ca
pers Received by the state De-
partment at Washington and SuE-
gestiOns That She Could Be Lii
beIIed Because of Violation of
Navigation Laws-Said to Have
Concealed Her Name-New Charges
May Issue From Old Evidence-Evi-
dence Now in Hand Thought SufH-
cient for Conviction.
Washington, March 2.--Both the state
department and the department of Justice
have received considerable detailed inform
, alton relative to the alleged flibustering
steamer Dauntless This is ACCOMPANIED
by the suggestion that the vessel might be
libelled under the navigation laws for con-
cealing her name, and under the neutrali-
ty laws for carrying war material to the
Cubans
The correspondence began on Jan. u
last, and covers much data on the past
record of the Dauntless. 1t states that
the middle of January last the Dauntless
was lowering between FLORIDA and Georgia
ports for the evident purpose of GLIDING
detection so as to get away with filibus-
tering party for Cuba. The intimation
was conveyed to TIE department OF Justice
that this purpose was uso clear that il
would be a wise precaution to place q dep
uty United States marshal or deputy col
lector of customs on board the ship. A
memorandum recites the basis of suspi-
cion of the Dauntless 1t states that in
the case of the United States VS.. John d.
H9rf rpHaptlU q NV ba OF
Appeals, the testimony of one witness was
that the Dauntless had painted out her
name in order to avoid recognition, while
taking supplies for the Cubans from the
island of Navassa TO Cuba. The testimony
of this witness is given in detail He says
these supplies were first brought from the
United States to Navassa on the ship Lau-
rada, where they were transferred to the
Dauntless. He says he noticed that the
word 'Dauntless" appeared onf the
buckets, handles and yawls of the vessel,
but that the name on the bow was cover
ed with piece of canvas and the name on
the stern was painted out. For this al
legged offense against the naviga-
ton laws it is pointed outS~tlle Dauntless
has never been prosecuted, and 1t is claim
ed to be a continuing offense for which
she is now subject TO libel. The memo
randum also cites an6ther instance occur

stated, the Dauntless threw over her
cargo, as witnessed by the officers of the
Marblehead." IT Is also stated that the
Dauntless has been known to apply for
clearance from Florida ports when she
had on board cargoes consigned ITO the
President of the Cuban Republic"
This material already in the hands Of
the authorities here, will be supplemented
by additional information bearing on the
recent movements of the Dauntless, al
though il is said that the showing already
made suffices for acting against the yes

BASE BALL MAGNATEs.
Substitute for Rule 81 the ImpOr-
tant Business.

st. Louis, Mo-, March 2.-Very little was
done during the short morning session of
the base ball magnates, and they did no.
really get down to business until o'clock
this afternoon. The afternoon session was
devoted wholly to making changes in the
rules and adopting the Schedule of games.
The majority report, submitted by James
A. Hart and A. j. Reach, was slightly
amended, most of the changes being in
Guided in the minority report submitted by
Edward Hanlon, of Baltimore. The changes
were adopted unanimously
The most important change was the new
rule Substituted for rule 81. 1t reads as
follows; ''The umpire shall perform all
the duties devolving upon a single UNI
pire except giving decisions on first, sec
ond and third bases and deciding points
of play in running such bases which shall
devolye upon such umpire, except as re-
CARDS third base. when any other base is
occupied by base runner, in which event
the umpire shall decide all points of play
arising at third base. 1t shall be the du-
ty of the umpires to assist or advise each
other in rendering any decision when ask
ed by the other umpire"
To rule q, which relates to the suspen-
sion of a player. a provision was added
that the TERM OF suspension Sndti not eA-
coed three days, including the date of re-
moval."
The schedule differs from that of former
years. in that the clubs make four Eastern
and Western trips instead of two, as for
merly and that New York and Pittsburg
will play on Sunday while abroad.
The season opens April 10, in the follow
ing cities Boston at New York; Brook
Ign at Philadelphia; Baltimore at Wash
ington; Cleveland at Cincinnati; Pittsburg
at Louisville; Chicago at st. Louis.
The season closes on Oct. Is. with the
Eastern and Western clubs playing among
themselves.
The night session was called ats o'clock
and lasted until 1:15, when the meeting
adjourned sine die to meet next In New
York 1t was decided that there be no
more banquets at annual meetings. The
league VIII not employ an official organ
for 1898, p
u 1t was resolved, as a matter Of respect
to the memory of the late Charles il.
Byrne, that the existing vacancy in the
ma tional board of arbitrat ton, occasioned
by his death, be not filled until terminated
by limitation.
Before adjourning the magnates signed
an agreement pledging themselves to pre-
vent their players from questioning decIs-
ions of the umpires.

provisioned in the latter country's ports
when, without a word of warming they
captured four of her frigates, seized all
the merchant vessels of more than 100

in which the British swooped down like a
wolf was In 1907, when In the words or
Danish writer, THE government of
Denmark saw the English ships of war
on their coast without even the coniec
lure that they were to be employed
against Denmark. The island OF Zealand
was surrounded, the capital threatened
and the Danish territory violated. before
the court of London had made use of a
single word TO express the hostility of its
feelings"
In reality England entertained no hos

reason of this sudden move was that

CHARGES AGAINST EwARr.

Witnesses Summoned to ADDeor Re-
fore the Subcommittee Saturday.
Washington, March ABOUT twenty
witnesses have been summoned from North
Carolina by the Senate committee on ill.,
dietary to testify in the case of the charges
preferred by Senator Butler against H. G.
Ewart, re-nomnated to be Judge of the
western district of North Carolina The
first of them will be heard next Saturday
by the subcommittee having the investi-
cation in charge. In his charges against
Mr.. Ewart, Senator Butler says that he
has neither the native ability or the legal
requirements to qualify him for Judi
cial position" and adds that "even if he
had sufficient ability and legal learning he
is wanting in the equipoise of temperament
to qualify him for this important posi-
ton"
Senator Butler says that Mr.. Ewart is
without experience as lawyer, and, in his
specifications, declares that he never ar
gued a case before the Supreme Court of
this state or before any court of appellate
jurisdiction, federal or state. He also all
leges other disqualitcations and attacks
Mr. Ewart's reputation as public official
and also as a private individual
Among the other accusations is one that
while a member of Congress, Mr.. Ewart
sold his public documents, and that while
on the bench of the state courts of Nortn
Carolina, he rode on railroad passes, not
withstanding there was a state law to
the contrary, and at the same time accept
ed the $3.50 annually appropriated by the
state to pay his expenses of travel. SINH
lar charges have also been filed by other
persons. The subcommittee in charge of
the investigation is composed of Senators
Spooner, Thurston and Gray.
