Few men live to tell the thrilling ex periences that Thomas Raymon has endured. He is one of- a band of Cu ban patriots who made several filibus tering expeditions from southern wa ters, and. he has just returned from the little island, driven away by the fort unes xf war. Many were the difficulties which the man suffered during the past few months. His little schooner was forced to continually change her appearance to ardid the vigilance of the detectives. On one day she would be known as the Tom and Jerry and when next seen she 1 would answer a hail as the Sarah Jane Again she would show the, name Jack and Gill. Finally, she succeeded In lauding1- a cargo of munitions for the patriots at Mayensi. As she was unloading her cargo she discovered a Spanish cruiser approaching, but her fleetness enabled her to . escape; not, however, until after she had left Ray mon and several of his companions on the shore. They, seeing that there was no chance of escape from the isl and, enlisted in the insurgent army. From that time, early in January, until the 30th of June, the men under went all sorts of suffering. Raymon was nnally taKen prisoner ana was sentenced to pay the death penalty . He was taken to Cabanas to be exe cuted, but while there his case came to the ears of Consul-General Lee, who secured his release on the condition that he would , forever leave the island. This Raymon did, arriving in New York on the 30th of June, He stopped in this city on his way home to Nor folk and he told the following story: He had conducted three expeditions successfully before he Was captured. He engaged in many fights and experi enced all the hardships of the guerilla warfare. He is very confident of the ultimate success of the insurgent cause. He says that the Spaniards enter bat tle in a very melancholy . manner, whereas the Cubans fight with desper ation. - The diseases which are prevalent in the island, he says, affect the Spaniards! very greatly and they are dying like flies daily . They are buried in heaps in trenches "as the. number of the dead is too great for them to receive sepa- rate interments. Raymon is a citizen of Norfolk, but he lived in this city about ten years ago. He is yell acquainted with sev eral of the older citizens of" Newport News, among the number Colonel C. M. Braxton and Mr. T. H. Gordon. Raymon left last evening on the steam er Louise for his home.
