CRUISER CHASES
THE DAUNTLESS.
The Marblehead and the Plucky
Tug Having a Race Off
Palm Beach.
WAIiSHIP SEEMEH TO BE GAINING.
The Spanish Consul at Jacksonville dot an
Idea in His Head For
Once.
Jacksonville, May 31.—Having got
word yesterday that an expedition was
on.the tapis from somewhere in the
vicinity of Fort Lauderdale, and that
the Dauntless was acting suspiciously
near that place, the Spanish consul im
mediately informed the captain of the
Vesuvius, which was lying in the river
here, ot the scheme, but was greatly
disappointed to learn that the ma
chinery of the dynamite cruiser
needed overhauling, and it would be
impossible for her to go to sea to in
tercept the expedition.
By some means Senor Poutous
learned that the United States cruiser
Marblehead had just arrived at Key
West, and a cablegram was hurriedly
dispatched to the United States gov
ernment authorities in that city, tell
ing of the consul’s suspicions and the
Marblehead was immediately dis
patched to the vicinity of Fort Laud
erdale on tbe east coast of Florida.
A sequel of this story came in the
shape of a telegram this morning to
Consul Poutous from Palm Beach,
which stated: “The cruiser Marble
head and the suspected filibustering
steam tug Dauntless passed here this
morning, each vessel in sight of the
other. Both were going at tremen
dous speed, if tbe dense volumes of
smoke pouring from their respective
funnels indicated anything. Tbe Mar
blehead seemed to be slowly gaining
on the little tug, and it only seemed a
question of time before the tug would
be overhauled.”
Consul Poutous said that he had
good reasons for believing General
Nunez, the well-known Cuban leader,
was on board tbe Dauntless.
COLLINS AT THE BAR.
Florida’s Court of High Imheachment Con
venod Yesterday.
Tallahassee, Fla., May 31.—1n the
senate this morning, sitting as a “high
court of impeachment,” State Treas
urer C. B. Collins was presented at
the bar by proclamation of the ser
geant-at-arms, and the house impeach
ment committee was notified of the
same.
Mr. Collins appeared in the crowded
senate chamber alone and without
counsel, which he declared he had not
yet had time to engage.
In response to inquiry from Chief
Justice Taylor, Mr. Collins asked that
be be allowed time in which to pre
pare his pleadings, and named thirty
days.
Eleven o’clock Thursday morning

the charges.

Simonton’s Deoision Makes Sale of Imported
Liquors Possible.

packages. The decision is based on
the interstate commerce law.

The Brunswick End of the Story
of the Last Daunt
less Cruise.
A SCHOONER’S MYSTERIOUS VISIT.
The Captain Who Saw the Tug 'Way Off
Shore and Winked His.
Other Eye.
Dispatches from Wilmington, N. C.,
yesterday morning gave a story of two
daring filibustering expeditions which
the Dauntless has landed in Cuba since
she left Savannah, May 17. The arms
and men were carried to a point about
twenty miles off the Bahamas by the
schooner John D. Long and the tug
Alexander Jones, both hailing from
Wilmington. The Dauntless met them
there and made two trips to Cuba with
the arms and men.
One chapter in the story was not
mentioned, and while it wa9 known
here, only leaked out on Sunday. A
Times reporter was told the particu
lars by a business man at Ocean Pier.
On Tuesday morning last the schoon
er John D.Long, of Wilmington,which,
by the way, is pilot boat No. 4 there,
slipped into St. Simon sound and an
chored off the pier. The captain went
ashore in a surf boat, of which he had
two, and tried to sell one to the mer
chant mentioned. Tbe captain said the
boats were built expressly for landing
filibustering expeditions and, and, on
being quizzed, said with a wink that
he “picked them up at sea.” He said
he had come from “ ’way down in
Florida” and had been four or five days
on the trip. When asked where he last
saw the Dauntless he said “about
twenty miles off shore,” but could not
be persuaded to tell off what shore.
There was no name on either of the
boats. They were about 20 feet long,
flat bottom, had sides 3 feet high and
would carry about four tons. They
showed the most thorough workman
ship.
The captain slipped up to Bruns
wick on a passing pilot boat, went
back that night and next morning,
after taking on fresh water, the John
D. Long sailed for Wilmington, where
she turned up Saturday morning. She
had a crew of eight men on board.
