U. S. SEXES ARMS
FREIGHT LISTED AS VARIOUS
SORTS OF MERCHANDISE.
INFORMED BY CUBAN MINISTER
Government Had Not Known Before
Of Any Trouble Brewing
in Island.

New York-Exposure of a pro-
jected revolution came Saturday
when the steamship Seguaranca Of
the Ward line was held up by special
agents Of the treasury department.
Ten thousand rounds of ammunition,
which had been intended for agents
of the revolutionary party at Santa
go de Cuba, were confiscated.
The descent was made upon the
Seguaranca just when preparations
were being made for starting her upon
her way to Cuba. The appearance Of
the treasury men caused a stir among
the passengers, who were unable to
understand why the unexpected Wis.,
itors held up the ship and overturned
everything aboard in the unexplained
search which they proceeded to make.
That the ammunition wac seized
by the federal officials is due to in.
formation given to the secretary of
the treasury by the Cuban minister
at Washington, Gonzalo de Quesada.
Until he made the announcement that
c~ontraband goods for the rebel parT
were being shipped to his country
nothing was known about any at
tempt to foment trouble there. Three
hours were required to complete the
search. After six hours delay the
vessel was permitted to go on her
way.
When the ammunition was finally
brought to light the commander of the
vessel and the agents of the company
were dumfounded. One large box had
been shipped as a piano, and others
were said to contain various sorts of
merchandise.
