THE WlLAnNGTGN.MESSENGER,- SUNDAY, MAY 30, 1897. 9 THE FILIBUSTERS. TRUE STORY OF THE EXPEDI TION FOR CUBA, The Tnc Alexander Jones did not go to Cuba bat Met and Transferred her Cargo to the Dauntless Two Loads of War Ma terials Landed. .-.' ' The schooner John D Lone. nantaW 'Archie Guthrie, was reported in below at Southport yesterday morning-, v; The arrival of the Long renews inter est in the recent Cuban filibustering expedition out of ."Wilmington. In this connection. The Messenger is informed by one of the crew of the Alexander Jones that there is no truth in the story that the Jones landed arms on, the Cuban coast and was chased and fired on by a Spanish War vessel. The fact is, he states, the Jones never saw even the smoke of a Spanish vessel while she was on her trip. The Messenger's informant gives the true story of "the expedition as follows: On Thursday night, May i3th, the jlexander Jones took onfa cargo of 'Trifles, machetes, rapid fire guns and ammunition at the wharf or the Wil mington, Newbern and. Norfolk rail way, in the southern limits of the city. When she had nearly completed her cargo a watchman, attracted by the crowd on the wharf, started down to see what was the .matter. A guard had been put out at the approach to the track, and they had been ordered not to let anybody pass. When .the watch man came up he was halted and sent back. He went immediately to the roundhouse of the Wilmington, New bern and Norfolk railroad and tele phoned to the city hall for "a de tachment of thirty policemen," stating that there was a crowd of men on the wharf up to some, devilment. Five policemen were sent down, and when they reached the rope across the track they were also stopped. - Some one having stated that the offi cers 'had approached and also that the United States revenue cutter Lot M. Morrill was getting up steam, the Jones pulled out and started down the river, J&e wharf. The material had been car ried there in two cars. The Jones left the wharf at 10:45 p. m., and in a few hours" crossed the bar and anchored at the sea buoy outside. ' In the meantime the schooner John D. Long had been loaded with coal and material at the Wilmington and Wel don railroad wharf," in the northern part of the city, and about an hour after the Jones had gone down the river the tug Jacob Brandow, at 11:45 p. m., to we'd the teehoaner past the United States revenue cutter Colfax .followed the Jones to sea. . On the schooner were General Nunez and another officer of the Cuban army, a Cuban pilot' and Captain John O'Brien, of the famous tug Dauntless. At the sea buoy they went" on board the Jones, and Captain O'Brien took charge of the expedition. A haV-ser 1 was made fast from the, Jones to the schooner, and early Friday morning the tug steamed to the south with her tow. The Jacob Brandow returned to .V Southport. . On the way down the coast no .port was entered, but off Palm Beach, on the coast of Florida, sixty-two Cubans were taken on board. The Jones then" towed the schooner to the Bahamas and in the ucinity anchored in the open sea on TueJuay, May 18th. On Thurs day morning, May 20th, the famous fili buster Dauntless hove in sight and came alongside the Jones and the schooner. She coaled from the schooner, took a cargo of arms from the Jones and, with Captain O'Brien in command, headed for the Cuban coast, about sixty miles away. She left the Jones be tween 8 and 9 o'clock Thursday night, made a successful landing in Cuba, near Matanzas, and,- after an absence of twenty hours exactly, returned to the Jones, took another cargo of war material and started for Cuba Friday night. On the last trip General Nunez and the sixty-two Cubans left the Jones and went on board the Dauntless and accompanied Captain O'Brien. When the Dauntless got back to the Jones for her ' second cargo, and Cap tain. O'Brien informed them that he had made a successful trip, they went wild over him, embracing him, shouting "Our O'Brien," "Viva Cuba Libre," . etc. . ' . ' When the Dauntless left with hen second cargo the Jones coaled from the schooner, towed her off Cape Canave ral, Florida, and turned her loose. She sailed back and got into Southport yes terday morning. Captain O'Brien is familiarly known as "Dynamite Johnny," and if he was successful in making the second trip from the Jones,; as reported, it makes his twelfth successful voyage with war supplies for Cuba. The cargo carried out of here was valued at $78,000, and is said to have been the second largest ever landed in Cuba. While in Wil mington General Nunez was at The Orton incognito.

Editors of Wilmington Messenger: Allow, me, through your widely read columns, to answer numerous 'seekers and Inquirers for the following inform ation: 1. The Mechanics' Home - Association is now in its ninth year. 2. It has issued thirteen series of stock; the first series of 1,000 shares and the subsequent, series of 500 shares each. . . ' . 3. Three series have attained their par value of $100 a share, and been paid to their stockholders, earning for them over 12 per - cent per annum, and another series (the fourth) will mature and be paid out in July, leaving nine series in force. X 4. The" association will open a; new series of stock (No. 14) commencing its first payment on the first Saturday in July. Due notice of this series will be advertised in The Messenger. 5. As all the money of the Mechanics' Home Association is loaned on mort gages secured by real estate in this city, and in each instance worth' a great deal more than the amount loan ed, it will at once be seen that there can be no doubts in the minds of investors that its stock is the safest as well as the most profitable security any one can desire.

Literaturef was certainly one of the most powerful factors in every walk of lifeJ They of the army could not possi bly hone to become efficient -in their profession but for the fact that through the medium of literature they were able to study the great campaigns of the past and to learn the lessons i in strategy and tactics tausht them by the celebrated exponents of the art of war. A successful commander ought to be able to act by intuition; but gold en opportunities in the field were al ways fleeting, and to enable a man to take advantage of these opportunities and to make the best use of them he must prepare himself beforehand by constant study. Then would he act as that happy warrior who, In the words of Wordsworth: i - ' '.' , , "Through the heat of jconflict keeps the ;law.;. .:'!. :7 In calmness, made., and sees what he foresaw."

It was with pleasure that we received the following letter from an esteemed friend and subscriber, and 'one that Is well known here and has friends by the. score. Frank's friends will be glad to know that, he is doing well at his adopted home and that he is now vice president of the Washita Lumber Com pany.

Jacks6n & Bell, Wilmington: Gentlemen You have added appre ciably to the reputation of Wilming ton as a public spirited and progressive community by your recent editions of The Messenger during the Southern Baptist convention.' ." It was a great achievement from a modern journalistic view, and I took a pardonable pride in showing them to friends of mine here, all of whom have expressed ' themselves in unstinted praise; of your work. I was glad to see, too, that the old town sustained her reputation for hospitality a reputation well deserved and of which her people may well be proud, for it extends even to the Pacific coast. Of all the people I have met with who at some time have visited Wilmington there ar;e none who did not speak well of her people. This is, indeed, gratifying to one who is away from his oldhome and loves her as I do. Wishing you continued success, believe me, Yours truly, F. L. MEARES. Orange County (Fla.), Citizen. The Citizen man returned this week from a trip to Wilmington-, N. C, where he has been -in attendance on the Southern Baptist convention. The Messenger placed the entire convention under obligation to itself for its full and accurate reports of the meetings. : - Fair Bluff Times. In writing up . the Southern Baptist convention in the last issue of The Times we omitted, unintentionally, to refer to the fact that The Wilmington Messenger contributed in no small measure to the interests of the great convention and the pleasure and pro fit of the delegates. The editor of this paper has been attending this con vention for many yearjs, and we speak dispassionately - in making the state ment that no daily paper in any of the larger cities ever made a more splendid record of the proceedings than did The Messenger during the late convention. We are going to file away our " copies of The Messenger convention series as a souvenir of ; the past. It will do to read in coming years when we wish to refer to the sweet and blessed experi ence of the 'days that are past and gone. The Messenger deserves the patronage of all the good people in the state and nation. " i -he New Era. Messrs. Jackson & Bell, Proprietors of the Messenger, crowned themselves with , glory by showing to the world that they are real, live newspaper men and have, a home pride that is a real treat to-jthe town, as well as to the Baptists of the southern states. The extra cuts and advertising mat ter given Wilmington by The Messen ger will be worth alone much more to our city than the entire cost of the convention to us. We have no doubt that lasting good will come to our city from The Messenger's extra work, for its praise was on ther lips Of the thou sand visitors the highest compliment that can be paid to any paper.

In company with a merry party- of. Wilmingtonians I boarded the Little Ed, . Mr. Butters' staunch steam launch, and with a loaded yawl in tow we steamed up the Cape Fear to Navassa, then turned down Brunswick river for several miles and then wound our way. up Sturgeon creek for quite a distance. The morning was delightful, the party in fine Spirits, and with song, jest and laughter the hour of our ride passed quickly. At an, old mill site we landed to find , quite a gathering of hospitable people, who soon taught us to know , theni as friends. After some time spent in the simple,, jbut real pleas ures of a country outing, we were call ed together by Mr. S. L. Penny, the clever and efficient superintendent of the school. Mr. Gay, secretary, read a programme, and a number of bright boys and girls, under the guidance of Miss West, their teacher, gave us a number of well arranged and nicely de livered speeches, dialogues, recitations and songs. To give the programme in full would require too much space; to mention some, where all did so well, would be unfair; therefore, I shall sim ply "say that the exercises were indeed" good and every one who took part de serves great, praise. .. This school has been organized but a few months, yet it is a credit to otir Methodist brethren, and especially to Brother Pen? ' and his earnest co laborers. ' The Baptist school from Myrtle Plain was invited to join in this picnic, and Rev. Mr. White, the superintendent, and several of his workers were pres ent.: When the ! exercises "were finished dinner, was spread, and such a dinner. This scribe has never had any special reputation in the eating line, but he established one that day. Everything to tempt the inner man was there in abundance, and as I ate up one side of the long table and down the other I know whereof I affirm when I declare that all was good. A treat of confec tionery was given to the children dur ing the afternoon. It was wonderful to see how many of our crowd suddely considered themselves children. Well, that candy was nice, and I was just boy enough to enjoy it as much a$ the other youngsters. A safe and delightful ride back with Captain Butters ended the- day, which we shall long remember with pleasure. May the Gay's Chapel school have a long and' happy existence, and may God's rich blessing abide with the faithful Christians who are doing such effective work in that community. " In just such undertakings is a field where in our city schools can render greatj as- sistance. WILL;B. OLIVER. Ian Maclarln Likes.

In another way the states may gain by counting all their citizens eligi ble for public duty, because the rulers are not a easte, do not give themselves airs, are affable and accessible. . - sue mm FULL:-: WITH KIVETED t JOINTS AND FULL - JEWELLED. & fil 6BAHD FALULT EXGDBSIOH : .
