day on warrant issued by United States
Com m :ssioner Bell charging violation
of the neutrality laws. The affidavit was
made by Dr. Jose Congosta, the Spanish

military expedition to Cuba, in the do
minion of the king of Spain, with whom
the Unitad States is at peace. The
prisoners were held in $500 bail for
hearing tomorrow. The bail was entered
by Captain W. w. Kerr, owner of the
steamship Lauranda, which has also
been under suspicion. I'm m ediately aft er
the arrest of the men the Danish cousul
gave them private bearing, when they
emphatically denied the charge. United

fed Collector Reed that l have with
drawn my objections to the clearance of

As to the crew, who have been sub
poenaed as witnesses, it will be necessary
to dstain- them if the hearing is post
poned to a later date than tomorrow.
Collector Reed has made out clearance
papes and the vessel will probably leave
after tomorrow's bearing. Warrants were

ances the Turkish minister of foreign

day, that frmans allowing the passage

guardshlps for use OF their EN- bAssies,

porte, the necessary documents have not
been forthcoming. Frequent conferences
between the am bassadors have taken

and there have been many consultations
between Turkish ministers and the sultan
dt the palace. The answer of the powers
to the request of the porte that they re-
frain from pressing their demand for ex-
ira guardships was that they could see no
reason not to support the demands OF the
am passadors for more effective means of
protecting the foreign residents of Con-
stantinople, in emergency. In view OF
this unanimous reply 1t is considered in
foreign official circles that the sultan has
no alternative but to yield, especially as
the powers will have extra gunboats con-
veyed through the Dardanelles by battle-
ships if the sultan persists in dilatory
tactics. 1t seems highly probable that
the am mbassadors havo already deter

the entrance of the Dardanelles. All the
forts about the straits are fully manned
and supplied with ammunition, and are
in the highest state of efficiency compat-
ible with the circum stances. Searchlights
are worked nightly over the waters. 1t

FLoRmA's LAWMAKERS.
senator Bitch Introduces an rmpor-
tant Measure.

Tallahassee. Fla. April Hon. New
+on A. Bitch. senator from Levy county.
,.ro was the author OF the constitutional
amendment, at the session Of 1s93. TO
transfer the costs Of criminal prosecu-
tons from the state to the counties. has
presented Senate bin No. q. which is con-
silered the most important measure yet
introduced in. that body.
The purpose of this bill is to prescribe
the method Of paying criminal costs by
the counties, providing for feeding pris-
oners. hiring Of convicts, and establishes
a separate fund, to be known as the
cine and forfeiture fund" from which
all criminal costs must be paid.
The bill separates the payment of Grim
iral costs from the general revenue of
fhc county and those costs can in no way
impair the credit or interfere with the
ordinary financial affairs OF the county.
The fine and forfeiture fund, from
which all criminal costs must be paid
will consist Of all fines and forfeitures
collected in the county under the penal
laws of the state, all costs refunded all
funds arising from the hire of the state
and county convicts, and proceeds of any
special tax 10 be levied by the county
commissioners. Such special tax, how
4
fine state tax will be reduced to Ia mills.
there viii be a net saving TO the tax
payers Of at least three-quarters OF a mill
annually. on account of criminal prose-
cutions.
The county commissioners are eonsti-
tuted the auditing board, and have large
discretionary powers IN auditing and pay
iua criminal costs, and regulating the
feeding of prisoners.
The bill is elaborate and complete, and
shows thorough knowledge OF the sub
iect. 1t IS of the highest Importance
and will no doubt be carefully considered
by the legislature The bill should be
promptly passed, as the recent amendment
to the constitution requires such a meas
ure to give it proper efficiency.
State Treasurer c. B. Collins says the re-
ccipts at the treasury department for
March, on account of general revenues,
were $4,000 below the same month last
year. and that the receipts thus far for
April indicate a much larger decrease in
the general revenue than was shown last
month, the receipts from some of the
counties this month having fallen off 80
per cent. already.
The Senate in executive session has
made the following combinations:
John y. Tinnon, to be judge Of the
criminal court Of record for Lake county
W. S. Bullock, TO be judge Of the Grim
inal court of record for Marion county.
r. A. Burford, to be solicitor for Marion
