Dupy De Lome Disturbed, j Reported Action of the Lau? rada Calls Forth a Protest. Secretary Carlisle Sets the Ma? chinery io Motion to Haul in 9 the Alleged Filibuster. WASHINGTON, NOV. 15.-The Span? ish minister, Senor Dupuy de Lome, has called the attention of the state j department to the rumor that the ! American steamer Laurada has vio-1 lated \he neutrality laws of the ? United^ State? in landing arms on Cuban soil to aid the insurgents there. Secretary Olney has trans? mitted Senor de Lome's protest to the treasury department and Secre? tary Carlisle to day telegraphed col? lector of customs to look out for the Laurada and to seize her wherever found The department of justice had aiso been advised of Minister de Lome's communication and United States marshals have been instructed to co-operate with the treasury offi? cials in detaining the vessel when found. The Laurada was formerly the British steamer Express and was given an American registry by a special bill passed through the last congress. She is 'supposed to have cleared New York about the 21st of October for Jamaica ports. It is alleged that after leaving pori she took on board at some point on Long Island sound, Emanuel C?spedes, a Cuban leader and 45 followers, to? gether with a large lot of arms and ammunitions. The arms and ammu? nitions are said to have been landed near Barracoa on the island of Cuba during the night time, and from that point the vessel proceeded to Ja? maica She has since returned to New York, where she left, after be? ing in port a few hours, and it is now alleged that she is anchored 16 mih8 off the coast of Delaware for the purpose of escaping the penal? ties imposed for violatation of the neutrality laws of the United States. Captain Hughes, her commander, is said to have left his ship and his whereabouts is unknown Secretary Carlisle is very much impressed with the evidence that bas been submitted to him by the Span? ish minister regarding the Laurada and is using every means in his power to find the alleged filibustering vessel While it cannot be asserted positively, it is understood that he has instructed Captain Shoemaker, ch:"f of the revenue marine service, treasury department, to dispatch revenue cotters in search of her. The nearest cutter to where the Laurada is supposed to be anchored, is the Alexander Hamilton, stationed at Philadelphia If reports be true that the Lanrada is 16 miles orT the coast of Delaware, the interesting question is presented, it is said, for the first time of at? tempting to seize an American vessel on the high seas for violation of American laws committed within the marine jurisdiction of th* United States Secretary Carlisle is said to have no doubt of the power of the United States io make such a seizure Should the vessel be found the ques tion of the legality of such seizure, together with the further question as to whether she was really engaged in a filibustering expedition against Cubain violation of the neutrality laws of the United States, will have to be decided by the courts in this country before the vessel is held and her owners and caotain punished LAURADA LIBELED IN CHARLESTON CHARLESTON, NOV. 15.-The steam? ship Laurada, Captain Hughes, from New York, to take on a cargo of pyrites cinders ior Philadelphia, ar rived in this harbor this afternoon.
