tThIrd Edition)I

Miami, Fla, April 2S.-Captnln Charles
silvela who since the beginning of tho
Cuban war has been employed by the junta
In plotting iilibustering expeditions 10 the
island. has been ordered by the navy de-
partment TO report for pilot duty to Ad-
niral Sampson.
II is known that Admiral Sampson has
with him three other Cuban pilots who
have been engaged in the work of landing
expeditions. They are Juan Santer. Ramon
Hernandez and the latter's brother, whose
first name no one seems to know They
we're all three placed at Admiral Samp-
sons service by the junta a week ago.
The employment d. silrela suggests an
early landing in Cuba. 1t is matter Of
common knowledge that Silvela took the
Dauntlcss, the Laurada. Three Fricndf
and other vessels on about thirty filibus-
tering trips.
II am thoroughly familiar with the Gu
ban coast" said Captain sllvela, land
can pilot landing on the coast. There
would be little more risk in 1t than talk
ing ferry boat from Franklin street slip
to the Jersey coast side. Once across, any
expedition that went along would have the
protection Of a gunboat or cruiser, anyway.
Il do not think that Admiral Sampson
cSn do better than capture Matanzas and
make that port his base Of operations. Ves-
sells that draw no more than fifteen feet
can go right into the harbor and The Iowa
can steam to withiINa mile and half OF the
forts. have landed filibustering expedi-
tons at Matauzas, There are Cubans all
around there and the Spanish are not in a
position to make very effective resistance.
Thre are three forts in the port but no one
need pay any attention to them, even IL
they were not destroyed. 1 think small
ship could sail right by them.
But if Admiral Sampson does not wish
to destroy Matanzas he can have my SER
vices in landsig land forces on any part
of the island, for l know its whole coast
line.
THE Cubans themselves can do almost
anything If Uncle Sam gives them the ma
terial Gomez wants the honor of captur-
ing Havana himself. / see that great
point has been made of the fact that Spain
has more than fifty vessels around Havana.
There are four of them only that could hurt
any one. The rest ara transport launches
and Scuws."
