Democratic, Republican and Bicycle ClnbS Tarn Out to Honor the Alleeed nil basters Cuban Flag Baised and the Prisoners Publicly Dined Charge of Conspiracy Not Entertained. The acquittal of the twenty-one alleged Cuban filibusters in the United States District Court at Wilmington, DeL, caused an out burst of popular approval and enthusiasm, and the excitement was such as Wilmington has not seen since the war. When the verdiJt of "not guilty'' was an nounced by Charles EL" Maull, an ex-member of the General Assembly, who was fore man of the jury, the crowd sprang upon the seats, cheering loudly, and the air seemed suddenly full of waving fans, handkerchiefs and newspapers. 1 1 United States Judge Leonard E. Wales, who presided, made no effort to check this applause, and after it had subsided he de clared all the twenty-one prisoners to be free. They were arrested on August 29, charged with having organized and set on foot in the United States a military expedition against the dominion of the King of Spain, and also with conspiracy. The Judge's charge was plain and to the point. - He. held : that under the law a military expedition " must be organized and officered, or have at least make arrange ments to organize. The mere shipments of arms does not constitute a military expedi tion; neither do two or more men going to fight for a foreign country, either as indi viduals or in an unorganized body, consti tute a military expedition under the inten tion of the law. j - TVi a nVi u rra rtt tnnanirHP.V WAS not Onsid- XUV WUI.A V j - ered by the jury for the reason that it had not been proven. ; The indictments were brought under section 5284, Revised Statutes of the United States. The jury took only two ballots. The first one resulted in eleven to one for acquittal, and on the second bal lot the entire jury was for acquittal. The arms which were captured from the alleged filibusters were held to await the ac tion of the Government. The officials may order them confiscated. In that case the Cubans will bring suit to recover them. The Cubans will not talk of their future plans, but some of them say they will go to Cuba as soon as they can. Their release was celebrated all over the city. The flag on the City Hall was run up, and City Treasurer Adams displayed a Cu ban fla?. In the evening a parade was held in which members of the Young Men's Re publican Club, the Young Men's Democratic Club, the Wilmington Bicycle Club, the Sons of American Mechanics and others took parr. The meeting was enthusiastic in every way. and the town was full of flags and fire works. While the procession was passing the City Hall the bell on that building was rung, regardless of the feeling of some peo ple that it was unwise to do so. Late that . night a dinner was also Riven the alleged HKif.M at Vtn TinliiOTArA House, and manv llHWUOfc10 - ww ' - - American citizens were present as hosts of the acquitted Cubans. - The arrest of these men was made on the direct order of Secretary Carlisle, as much perhaps to test how an American jury and United Stages Judge would act, as to prove the "good faith of 'this Government main taining its treaty obligations with Spain."

They got back July 25, just a week before they heard news of the relief expedition. FIVE DROWNED OFF CHICAGO. American Boat Wins.
