Will Prevent Any Filibustering Ex-
petition From leaving Cuba

New York. Aug. "a special to the
Herald from Washington says: General
Brooke was given instructions today to
prevent at all hazards any filibuster-
ing expedition in Jiminezs interest
leaving Cuba.
1t is probable that this subject, more
than any other. is the immediate cause
of Secretary Roots visit to Lake Cham
plain. Mr. Root received summons
from the president just after several
dispatches from Brooke about the sus-
picious movements of Jiminez had beeT
received at Lake Champlain and ask
ing instructions
According to the views of the officials
here and evidently also those or the
president and Secretary Root, the Unit
ed States is as much obligated to pre-
vent violation of the neutrality laws in
Cuba as in the United States.
The charge d'affaires of the Domini-
clan country in this city has called the
attention of the authorities to con-
templated expedition, and he was as
sured that everything possible would be
done to prevent il.
