JUST THE MAN WANTED.
rhs Pilot Who Has Landed May FIIl-
busterers &c Go to sampson.

Miami, Fla, April 26.-Capt. Chas.
Snyela. who since the beginning Of tho
Cuban war, has been employed by the
junta in plotting filibustering expedi.
tons to the island. has been ordered by
the navy department to report for pilot
duty to Admiral 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 lat.
ter's brother, whose first name no one
seems to know. They were all three
placed at Admiral SIMPSONS service by
the junta week ago.
The employment Of Silvela suggests
an early landing in Cuba. II Is mat.
ter Of common knowledge that Silvela
took the Dauntless, the Laurada, Three
Friends and other vessels on about 10
filibustering trips.
II am thoroughly acquainted with the
Cuban coast" said Captain silvela,
"and | can pilot a landing on the coast
There would be little more risk in IL
than taking ferryboat from Franklin
street slip TO Jersey City. Once across,
any expedition that went along would
have the protection Of a gunboat or
cruiser any way.
II do not think that Admiral Samp.
son can do better than capture Matan.
zas and make that port his base Of opera.
tons Vessels that draw no more than
10 feet can go right into the harbor, and
the Iowa can steam 20 within mile and
n half Of the forts. l have landed iii.
clustering expeditions az Matanzas.
There are Cubans all around there and
the Spanish are not in a position to
make very effective resistance. There
are three forts in the port, but one need
pay any attent ion to them. even II they
were not destroyed. I think a snail
ship could sail right by them.
But II Admiral Sampson does no,
wish to destroy Matanzas he can have
my services in landing land forces on
any part Of the island, for | know its
whole coast line.
The Cubans themselves can do al.
almost anything II Uncle Sam gives
them the material. Gomez wants the
honor of capturing Havana himself.
see a great point has been made Of the
fact that Spain has more than so vessels
around Havana. There are only -four
that could hurt anyone. All the rest are
transport launches and scows."
