HER NAME PAINTED OUT
How the DauntIess Work ed il on One
of Her Trips

Washington. March Both the state
department and the department of JUS
tice have received consideTab BILE detailed
information relative 10 the alleged hlihus-
tering steamer Dauntless. This is accom-
panied By the suggestion that the vessel
might be libelled under the navigation
laws for concealing her name, and under
the neutrality laws for carrying war ma
terial TO the Cubans- The correspond
ence began January Il last. and covers
much data on the past record OF the
Dauntless. It states that the middle OF
February last the Dauntless was lowering
between Florida and Georgia ports for
the evident purpose of eluding detection
so as TO get away with q hlibustering
party for Cuba. The intimation was con-
veyed to the department of justice that
this purpose was SO clear that It would be
a wise precaution to place deputy United
States marshal or deputy collector OF GUS
toms on board the ship. \ memorandum
recites the basis Of suspicion OF the
Dauntless 1t states that in the case Of
the United States versus John. .. Hart.
recently approved by the court Of appeals,
the testimony Of one witness was that the
Daun tess had painted ott, her name in
order to avoid recoaqliti0n.e while taking
supplies for the Cubans from the Island OK
Navassa 10 Cuba. The testimony of this
witness is given in detail. He Says the
supplies were first brought from the
United States to Navassa on the ship
Laurada, where they were transferred 20
the Dauntless. lie says he noticed that
the word "Dauntless" appeared on the
buckets. axe handles and yawIs OF the
vessel. but that the name on the bow was
covered with piece Of canvass. and the
name on the stern was painted out For
this alleged offsnse against the navigation
laws, it is pointed out, the DsVntless has
never been prosecuted. ana il il claimed
to be a continuing offense, for which she
IS now subject 20 Hbel. The memorandum
also cites another instance, occurring last
May. in which L Is stated that the United

DauntIess. Thereupon, 70 IS stated, the
DauntIess threw over her cargo. "as wit
