New York, Nov. 9. - The little schooner Silver Heels, which in the early tnorning of Sunday, Oct. 17, dodged the revenue eutter Chandler and put to sea with a cargo of arms and ammunition for the Cuban insurgents, had a stormy trip. It now appears that she had the company in her tribulations of the tug P. H. Wise. Michael Moran, owner of the "Wise, was sure on the day following the departure of the Silver Heels that his boat was peaceably engaged in the humdrum tvork of towing mud scows to sea. The Bilver Heels was subsequently reported off the Florida coast, but nothing more has been heard of her. Report recently reached here that a quantity of munitions had been found by British officials on one of the Bahama islands. Whence it carne, whither bound, was not known, and in the absence of an owner it was conflscated. It has just been learned that the Beized munĂ­tions were a part of the Silver Heels' cargo and that the tug P. H. Wise, a small craft designed for harfoor towing, accompanied the doughty little schooner to the Bahamas and narrowly escaped being lost with all on board. All the details of the expedition have not as yet come to light.
