New York, Feb. 23. A local paper (ays that General uanos uoion, wnu fifty men, thirty-five of whom are Americans, and a big supply of arms and ammunition, Is reported In Cuban circles to have sailed from a point on the New Jersey coast, not far from Long Branch, for Cuba. It is said Gen eral Roloff is in charge of the largest. filibustering expedition that has left this country during the present Cuban revolution. The Cubans have experienced so much difficulty with chartered steamers that General Roloff decided to purchase one. The boat's name could not be learned. Report had It that she came from the neighborhood of Philadelphia and was larger than any yet which has carnea men and arms to Cuba. The first inti mation that General Palma had of Gen eral Roloff's proposed departure was about ten day's ago. Dynamite Ills Pet Weapon. "I received a letter," said General Palma, "from President Clsneros in forming me that General Roloff has spent a longer time In the united btaies than his furlough allowed and that ne must return to Cuba at once. General Roloff walked into my office the next day to tell me he had received a slm liar communication. 'I shall obey tne order within a fortnight,' was the only comment he made. His expedition was organized entirely Independent of the lunta." Dynamite has always been General Roloff's weapon. He has often said the Cubans were foolish to use machetes and bullets when dynamite would do the same work much more effectively without endangering Cuban lives. Sev en tons of dynamite were part of the cargo of General Roloff's steamer, carried also 2.000 rifles and 500 ridges. Have Served In Military Cempanles.

General Palma's secretary, "I presume tnat uenerai i.o loff has gone to Cuba, and It Is more than likely he has taken an expedition with him. "If he has done so you may depend upon it that the, expedition was a largo one. I know thil General Ro loff has received large sums of money from the Junta during the last What he did with It I don't know. I can only surmise. You sre doubtless aware of the fact that no one connected with the Junta ever gives any definite information about starting of an expedition. .T : ' T -rhllo tha nsant Is s. jn HANNA FOR SENATOR, Governor Ilushnell Will Appoint Him ts Succeed Sherman.
