ployed by the Cuban Junta in transporting
arms and ammunition to the insurgents on
tbe island ot Cuba, were captured early
Wednesday morning off the east coast of
Florida by the United States oruiser Kalolgh
auor a chase, during Which ttS zzsUp Ufjd
her guns,
Thd Dauntless left Palm Beach over two
weeks ago with a filibustering expedition,
and since lben.it Is claimed, she has made
two more trips to the Island, securing the
arms from one of the Fiorina keys, where
the Cuban agents have established a sort of
warehouse. The State Department at
Washington have been greatly worried by
the suocess ot tbe Dauntless as a filibuster,
and the Kaleigh was sent South under or
ders to seize the vessel at all basardo.
When the Raleigh arrived offSt. Augustine,
her commander was Informed tbat the
Dauntless was below New Smyrna waiting
for the B, L. Mabey to bring her a cargo of
coal and arms. The Raleigh Immediately
steamed south, and about 6 o'clook a. m.
sighted the Dauntless well out at sea. A
signal from the Raleigh was disregarded by
tbe Dauntless, and the latter vessel crowded
on steam and tried to escape.
Then the Raleigh fired a blank cartridge
which startled the New Smyrna people and
sent them to the bouse tops, where they
could scan the sea. They saw the Raleigh
In her obase of the Dauntless, the latter ap
parently going so fast that the former sent a
solid shot across the filibuster's bows, but
still the Dauntless pursued her course.
Another solid shot was fired by the cruiser
which struck the water near the Dauntless
and threw waves all over her. Then the
Dauntless came to and the Raleigh sent a
prize crew op board.
As the Raleigh and Dauntless came up the
co ist, the tug R. L. Mabey was sighted. The
Mabey beaded for Mosquito Inlet and tried
to escape, but was brought to by three solid
shots In quick succession from the Raleigh.
Two of tbe shots struck within ten feet of the
Mabey and caused the little tug to reel as
though she had been dealt a mortal blow. A
prize crew from the Raleigh was also sent
aboard the Mabey and they found her.loaded
deep with ooal and arms for the Dauntless.
The Dauntless, it is said, bad no arms on
board.
The Raleigh prooeeded north with her
prizes and arrived off St. John's Bar, where
tbe filibusters are now laying under tbe
eruiser's guns. The Dauntless and Mabey
will be sent up to Jacksonville in tbe morn
ing and turued over to the United States
officials.
