Filibuster Against
Gomez Is Nipped

promoters of this enterprise have
planned to send them to some interior
port OF entry. perhaps as far inland as
Chicago or Cincinnati. Then they
would be quietly transported to some
small South Atlantic port and shipped
to Venezuela.
Secret service men and other agents
discovered that two vessls suitable for
filibusterlng purposes had been sold
by n New York ship brokerage firm
20 unknown parties. Both were In the
vicinity Of Norfolk and one was found
to be the old side wheel steamer
Nanticoke. The name of the other
cannot be learned.
There Is no warrant out for the
seizure Of the Nanticoke. However.
there is nothing to prevent them
searching the vessel which they will
doubtless do II they fall In with her.
Meanwhile there is possibility that
there Is nothing illegal about the sale
Of the Nanticoke and the other I'M
known ship.

derbilt. around whose death an effort
was made to throw n veil OF secrecy.
The coroner declared the case was
closed. that there was absolutely no
evidence OF foul play and that II would
serve no good interest to expose the
motives that prompted the suicide.
One OF the two reporters who OBJ.

case admits he was paid n large sum
for suppressing the story.
II is estimated that the mysterious
American" who attended TO the work
OF sealing up the affair spent $4,000

This is a greater sum than any

posed to have possessed and is consid-
cred proof that the person or persons
