Among other marks of improvement, is the assn.

ter of cotton. The success which attends its cul.
tivation is beyond the expectation of its warmest
friends.
A letter from the Hon, H. Teage, dated at Mon
rovia, February 18th, says" A large number Of
vessels are now here, which causes more than
usual competition in trade. The cotton business
will succeed. Captain Shaw, the cotton agent here.
told me, a few days since, that he expects to load
his vessel with cotton; so we have another start.n
The Capt Shaw, mentioned in the above extract,
is the person sent out from England to try the ex-
pertinent whether cotton can be raised for expor.

Liberia one year, when Mr.. Teage wrote the ap-
pears already to have arrived at the opinion that
he will be enabled to send cargo to Liverpool.
This is certainly another triumph for the new re-
public.

FnoM HAvANA.-By the arrival yesterday Of
the steamship Ohio, we are placed in receipt Of
papers from Havana. They bear dates as late as
the I'd Of May. They contain no news of i'm
portance.
There have been some large fires in and near
Vuelta Arriba, which destroyed several sugar
mills, and other property Of great value.
The Faro Industrial says, "Not an incident
ons occurred on the whole Island, to disturb tn,
tranquility that we now enjoy-thanks for this t,
the zeal for its preservation that is displayed by on
able authorities"
We find the following in long letter writer
from New York, for the Industrial, by its cores
pondent "The time has arrived when it become
necessary for to inform you that it is now posi-
tive that new attack will be made on Cuba b.
the pirates that invaded Cardenas Their move
ments here for some days past, leave no doubt {
their intention and have to assure you that thes
people would before have embarked, but for til
news received from Havana, which too clearl
showed the vigilance and disposition of the author
ties, Of the troops, and the whole people of tn
Island Of Cuba"

The INDIANS IN FLoRIDA.-The Legislature
of Florida passed law to provide for the removal
of the Indians, now remaining in Florida, beyond
State transmitted copy of the act to the Wal
Department, at Washington. The act looks to
the removal Of the Indians from Florida, only by
the liberal action of the United States Government
and estimates the expense of their removal at not
less than two millions of dollars. The Secre-
tary of War regrets that the Indians in Florida
continue to be an annoyance to the people OF
that State, notwithstanding the efforts of the De-
partment that these efforts will be persevered in
however, although for the present, but peace
able means can be employed to effect that object.
He says
"The small military force which it has at its
disposal Is absolutely necessary for the protection
OF the frontier, not against such inconvenience and
injury those to which the inhabitants of Florida
exposed, by the vicinity of a small remnant OF
tribe, who have for several years been harmless
but against the continual incursions of numerous
and powerful tribes of Indians in state of actual
hostility Such is the situation, at this moment
of the inhabitants of Texas, of California, and New
Mexico; and | am quite sure that the good people
OF Florida would regret to any portion of the
very inadequate force employed in the protection
of that distant and deenceess region diverted from
its purpose"
As regards the plan, suggested by you of
sending party to survey the land now occupied
by the Indians under an escort of regiment of
volunteers, with orders to capture all the Indians
they fall in with, and to destroy their towns" |
have only to remark this Department has neither
the authority to survey public lands, nor to raise
volunteer regiment for the purpose of protecting
those engaged in such operation"

A REGULAR BRANDY SMAsHER.-An English
paper says; "The late Mr.. Joshua Dixon, of
Downtown, in Wiltshire, who in 1901 died sud
denly at the age Of hundred and three, had all of
his life been remarkable free liver According to
his own calculation, he had consumed two thousand
gallons of brandy, without taking into account
variety Of other kinds of liquor He moreover,
enjoyed his faculties to the last. He was twice
married; and of his numerous offspring by both
wives, the oldest had died at the age Of seventy,
while the youngest was only eighteen, at her faith
ers death. Had this practiced the temperance
OF some patriarchs, he might probably have at
tanned the age Of hundred and fifty"

The building is a very handsome one, and was but

The Cuba Explosion.

In addition to previous information, as to the
destination OF the Cleopatra, md its attachment,
| the New York Evening Post of goth ut. says:
1.-The information thus procured went to show
| that it was the intention of the leaders to steer
direct for New Orleans, and thence to some other
American port, before landing at Cuba. When he
had obtained this intelligence the officer induced
| several OF the Germans, by what means we are moi
advised to return to this city and make stateme nj
| OF the facts to the Marshal, upon which he imme
| diately proceeded to arrest the gentlemen above
named.
"On searching between the decks and hold oil
the Cleopatra about twenty-four kegs of gunpow-
der and four heavy bales of soldiers blankets were
discovered. The steamer is at present under the
discipline of captured vessel. Six sentnels pace
her deck day and night and no person is allowed
on board without permission from the Marshal
This morning considerable excitement pre-
vailed about the United States Marshas Office,
and large number OF persons had assembled to
hear the examination of the parties under arrest,
After delay of two hours, however, it was deter
mined to lay the till Tuesday, the 18th
May, when the District Attorney will bring it
before the Grand jury"
The Georgia FAibusters-IHe TVeZaka,-We
have no intelligence of the Welaka, which sailed
from this city on Sunday night about twelve
o'clock in pursuit of the Cuban expedition
Whether she has captured General Lopez and his
party, or Lopez and his party have captured her
and her crew, Is involved in considerable degree
of uncertainty The prevailing opinion here is that
if the officials board of her catch the expedition
the expedition will be very certain to catch them.
The Welaka is very staunch, good boat, with a
light draft and good speed, and would be very USE
full to the expedition.
She carried off our reporter, and if she is not
captured and her crew made prisoners of war,
we may expect to hear from her shortly Our
| Cockspur correspondent may probably give us
some account Of the movements on our coast
| Savannah News.
The New York Evening Mirror thus notices the
bad light reflected by the New York Sun:
| The New York Sun, which has been violen,
| sympathzer with the Cuban invaders, it not the
prime mover of the whole adventure, comes on,
to-day in terrible huster at the second failure o.
the expedition. The Sun has denied all along thai
there was anything in the wind in relation to this
matter and now that the affair is blown" il
turns to abusing the President and subordinate
authorities for again suppressing the " invasion
The Sun is not acting the part Of good citizen by
encouraging these desperate marauders. parce
Of hungry, bood-thirsty foreigners, led on by /
few bloody demagogues, are more deserving of tn,
name and treatment of pirates than of "patriots.
Has the Sun no respect for treaty stipulations be
| tween nations?

DEPLoRABLE OCoURRENcE.-The Tuscaloosa
(Alabama) Monitor of the LIST inst. narrates an &C.
| currence, as developed in an examination before
| magistrates in that town, which has created great
excitement. The substance of it is this: Mr.. F.
p. Hall and Mr.. John Kirby had difficulty about
the settlement of an estate, of which Kirby is adj
| ministrator. Both were present at the session of
| the Probate Court. Hall, it appeared from the
| testimony, acting under the impression that Kirby
would make an attempt TO kill him as soon they
met, prepared himself with double barrelled shot
gun and revolver. As Mr.. X. rode up, Hall, who
was standing on the pavement, near Meals store,
fred one barrel of his gun at Kirby, but missed
him, the gun having been turned aside by gem
tleman who was standing near by. The gun
was then taken from Hall, and Kirby, having
alghted from his horse, approached Mr.. Meals
store, not directly towards Hail. but few steps
from him. Hall then drew revolver and fired
four shots at Kirby, all of which took effective
perforang the body in the region of the pslvis,
and the Others shattering the leg and foot. Mr.
Kirby was taken to room in the Washington
Hall, where he is now lying in very critical con
dltion. Mr.. Hall surrendered himself to the sheriff.
| and on Monday evening was examined before mag
lstrates, and required to give bail in the sum of
So 900. He issstll in the custody of the sheriff.
Mr.. Kirby was wholly unarmed at the time of
the renconre, but may perhaps be proper to state,
| that it was shown in evidence that he had made
some violent threats AGAINST Hall, if he Kirby
| should be compelled BY NE Probate Court to paw
certain note with which he considered himself an.
