JOY AT ST. JOHNS.
Arrival of an American Relief shin Cheer,
 the Destitute.

ST. JoHN's, N. F.. March S.-The steam CT Grand Lake, Captain Delaney, arrived here from Halifax. When the ship was sighted, an immense crowd began to oath- CT until about 5000 people were on tho wharf As the ship came near the wharf the American flag was seen hoisted at the foremast head, and as the excitement ran very high cheer after cheer went up for the American flag, for the United States and for Boston. When the ship was moor ed, delegation from the relief committed, consisting of Bishop Jones, Rows. F. O'Brien and Graham and A. J. Harvey. went on board and wore met by Mir. Faye, who is in charge of the relief, which amounts to 1, 700 barrels of provisions.
 It was decided to call q meeting of the clerical relief committee today. at which the details of the distribution of tho pro- visions will be submitted. The efforts of the various committees arc hampered to a great extent by the scarcity of eontribu- tions, and the number of applicants is growing larger daily. Tho better class of people who had saved a little and helped others are now compelled to look for as- sistance to the relief committees.
 A relief committee in St. Johns west. supported by private subscriptions, assists 1,700 persons with soup three times a week and fish twice week. There arc in St. Johns alone about 9, 500 families destitute, and cases arc being discovered daily of families formerly in good circum- stances who actually are dying of starva- tion rather than report to the committees.
 The relief received last evening has brought joy and happiness into the homes of thousands. and the people of St. Johns are loud in their praise of their American neirhhors

Her Sailors Fought a Fire In the Hold Near
 the Powder Magazine.
 BOSTON, March S.-The United States transport Fern, commanded by Lieuten- ant Commander George A. Blcknell, which arrived hero from Newport, whence she had arrived from Philadelphia, wont through the most thrilling experiences be- fore reaching this port. After sailing from Philadelphia about one week ago she encountered large fields of ice and heavy seas which disabled her so that she barely escaped laundering and was considerably delayed in making repairs.
 She made brief stay at the torpedo station at Newport, leaving that port for Boston on Tuesday night. Whom off Capo Cod, fire broke out in the cabin, and in n few minutes the captains quarters were all in flames, Just beneath tho cabin, within few feet of tho firc. was stored 400 pounds of smokeleSs powder. The ship seemed doomed, but after several hours Of hard fighting the seamcn suppressed the flames, and tho damage, which will probably not exceed $2. 900, was confined to the cabin.
 Several of the crew wcrp moro or less burned, but nonc suffered serious injury. A heavy sea was rolling, and the high wind blowing made the work doubly hard, and tho officers claim that but for tho her oism of the brave crew tho ship would doubtless have been blown up md all on board of her lost

Nothing Heard n, N,as,,,ou.

WASHINGTON, March S.-No Confirmn- tion can be obtained in Washington of the report from Madrid to the effect that the American consul general Ramon O. Will Hams, in Havana. is persona non grata and Cuban authorities have demanded his recall. At the state department the report is discredited. The last dispatch received rom MT. Williams gave no evidence of friction with the Cuban authorities. and in view of his long service ana his popu- l larity In that colony tho state department officials believe thcre must be some orror in the report.
 Furthermoro they say that if for any reason the Cubans desired to have Mir Vii Hams depart from their territory they would not bo likely to ask for his recall. This would not bo necessary The Span- lsh government would terminate his dfp- lomatic career in Havana at short notice by simply withdrawing his oxeluatur.
 Tho only possible reason that can be as signed for any discord between MT. Will Hams and tho Cuban authorities is in con nection with MT, Williams efforts in be- half of Aguirre. tho American citizcn charged with participating in the Cuban revolt. Secretary Gresham had instructed Mir. Williams to demand n fair trial for this subject.
 The lattcrs efforts to carry out the de- parrment's instructions may have provok- cd some irritation on the part of tho Gu bans, but Mir. Williams is well trained consular officer. and the authorities hero have every reason tO believe that he has not gone beyond the usual legitimate methods in conducting the case.
 Ramon 0. Williams, the American con- sul general at Havana. whose recall is said to have been demanded, has held his pres ent position through several administra- tions. He is highly regarded throughout the island. He married Cuban lady some years ago and is we'll up on the con dition of affairs in CAba.

GARCIA NOT DEAD.
It Was n Bandit Who Was Killed, but Not
 the Noted Chief

the Noted Chief.
 TAMPA, Fla, March S-The killing of Manuel Garcia is denied Garcia's band on tho day he was reported to have boon killed raidcd a store at Scba Mocha. After Obtaining what they desired and when Ibout to mount their horses a volunteer who was an acolyto in tho church and Fegular soldier both in civilians dress, game upon the party. In the encounter Peepeel lsleno was killed by the acolyte, Eho in turn was killed, being literally cut b pieces.
 This occurred on tho evening of Feb. s4 As there was price on Garcia's head of SlO 900 from the government and about E2o, OOO from the sugar planters in tho vi. ,lnity, thore was quite an incentive in claiming that the dead bandit was Garcia. Parties who have seen the pictures of the bandit taken and published after his death assert that it is not the likeness of Garcia. When Garcia wife was asked by the sol iierS to go and identify tho body of her husband, sho attircd herself in black and went with them. When tho party alightod at the station, she put her handkerchief to her facc and prctonded to be sobhing.
 She then told them that she knew the body was that of her husband, and there was no use tn go and look at it. She did this to deceive the soldiers. It is stated that Garcia still lives in the vicinity of the place where he was reported to have been Killed. This report comes direct from Scha Mocha by gentleman who was there on last Thursday. Garcia is q much smaller man than PCcpcel lsleno was. The Cuban papers represent the deceased man as be- Ing large and broad shouldered

THE HEART OF THE
 NATION IS YOUNG!

Congress is dead; the undertakers of the country are willing to give their tune free of charge to consign it to its grave, no more to be resurrected. We will sing a requiem over the remains, hoping that not even its ghost will ever appear again. It is we'll to know that the heart of the na- ton is young. The minds of the people will now turn to business. Everybody will breathe easier. The last week has shown that the people are all right; the increase in sales are most satisfactory and our customers are looking around indus triously for the spring goods. We have every department packed with goods at prices that will make people stare at what they can get for little money. We call your attention particularly to that line of Sideboards and Chamber Sets. We have been all over the country looking f, r goods, but We have seen nothing to equal them in price and style. We can't help feeling proud of our stock this spring. It costs lots of money travelling to hnnt up these fine styles and low prices. but we have made up our minds to be headquar- ters in our line and give Waterbury and this section of Connecticut house worthy of their patronage as well as their confidence.

 They all hold citizenship in the United states. Tho captain general insisted that they should be tried by court martial, while demanded that their cases be de. termined by the civil courts and they be allowed to have lawyers to defend them.
 There have been several controversies over this question, but I have been acting under articles and ? of the convention of Jan. 12, 1877, which says in substance that American citizens arrested in Spain shall be tried in civil courts unless they are captured with arms in hand
 Will Protect Americans.
 These four prisoners were captured in pursuit of their ordinary avocations. They cannot bully me. These men got their citizenship papers in New York, and they cannot be questioned. I am ready to leave at any time, but will protect Amer tcan citizens as far as possible while am here. If had not been defending these men, would have resigned a week ago :"
