THE DANGER WHICH THE CUBANs Es-
CAPPED Much JOY Is expressed at the Cuban
Junta over its having escaped the danger OF
following out recent plans which had become
known TO the secret agents Of the Spanish
government. In the early part of June the
friends OF the insurgents In this city began
the hitting out OF an expedition to the Cuban
coast between Cardenas and Sagua Grande
They selected q quiet section Of the Jersey
coast for the secretion OF small number OF
arms and q large quantity OF ammunition
which they proposed to place ON board q
sailing vessel to avoid expenoe and suspicion.
This vessel was to be in due time intercepted
on the Cuban coast and relieved of these
munitions OF war. Unaccountably to the
patriots, these matters became known to
certain conspicuous friends and agents of
the Spanish government, which Of course
utilized the Information by sending its de-
tectives to Investigate the particulars of the
expedition. The Cubaps are delighted that
their plans were not discovered at time
when lives and property would be leopard
lied, and the Junta Incur losses which would
have dampening effect upon the ardor of
the patriots.-[M Y Herald 30th.

A PLEASURE RIDE TURNED INTO
MoURNFUL SEARCH FOR THE DEAD.-Ies-
terday afternoon about O'Clock, says the
Davenport Gazette. three young men named
Messrs. Christian G. Lueben, John Bartel
and henry LiedeTmap, left the Keystone
House, on Harrison street, and went to the
river to take sail down the stream. They
were In the best Of spirits, and sang and
joked, and enjoyed themselves as they sped
down stream, like boys on holiday jaunt.
As they were nearing Oferman's Island,
MI. Lueoen put an oar down TO take a
sounding, and the water was only four feet
deep-tbey were over q bar. Mr.. l.. was the
only swimmer In the boat, and to frighten
his companion q little he commenced rock
Ing the bOat-and the more his companions
protested, me harder ne rocked 1t, laughing
At Them, and telling them "LOOk ont! IL will
60 over this time, sure,'' whenever there was
q particularly hard lurch. At last he went
too far, the boat turned over, and all went
sprawling into the water. Lueben caught
Bartels hat, sank, came up, and looked to
zee what the others were about. He saw
Bartel working for the shore, apparently all
right; he saw Leiderman catching hold of
the boat, and, throwing his hat towards him
cried, "Leiderfnan, bold fast to the boat-I
can swim." And the last word was hardly
out of bis mouth before he sank-went out or
sight suddenly and did not rise. Bartel and
Leiderman managed to reach land. the lat
ter almost drowning. They watched 70;
Lueben, half believing he was diving merely
and trying to Keep up his game OF soaring
Them; but In q minute more cried for help
and the parties on the island came to help
them. After an hours search the body was
found, about nifty feet from where 1t went
down: Lueben stepped Off the bar into q
deep hole, and 1t is believed that he was
seized with cramps, as he sunk and became
helpless, although he was one OF the best
swimmers In the city.

A CURIOUS AND SAD ACCIDENr-A Little
Child dc ite'ltoiiy Hangs Iiself in q S,Ctsg.-
The POttstOwn Ledger has the following &C
count of peculiarly sad accident: some Of
the saddest occurrences we have been called
upon to record for long time, happened on
Saturday last, In this borough, in the sudden
death OF beautiful and Interesting little
boy, son OF Mr.. Thomas L. Yorgey, aged
about twenty months. An older son of Mr.
Yorgey had fastened q little swing To the
crook OF peach tree, about four feet from
the ground, made of q short MANILA rope
which extended to within seven inches of the
ground. Mrs. Yorgey had noticed the swing
In the morning and had removed the rope
but the little boy had again replaced IL with
ont the knowledge OF his mother. About 4
O'Clock Miss Minney Yorgey, residing near
by, happened to pass through the yard Of
the house and found the child with the rope
twisted around its neck and in dying con
dition: She at once carried the dying child
into the house to It's mother, who had been
feeling quite unwell during the day, and was
lying down. The child scarcely touched Its
mothers arms before 1t was dead. From
the situation In which the child was found Ii
Is supposed that he had taken hold OF each
side Of the rope with his hands and COM
menced going around, twisting the rope
around his neck until he probably became
dizzy and struck his head against the tree,
As there are bruises upon one OF his temples.
This probably caused him to fall upon the
rope, when he strangled."
