A special from West Palm Beach to
| the Jacksonville Times-Union says; News
! has been received here to the effect that
| Wednesday Capt. Irwin Hiscock of the
| Robinson CrusOe was arrested at Biscayne
| bay by Deputy Sheriff ChiliingWorth. II
| is charged that Capt. Hiscock aided IN
| the escape of Sam Lewis, who shot and
/ killed John Higsmith and George DAVIS,
/ at Lemon City last week. 1t is said that
| Capt. Hiscock took Lewis on the Robin
| son Crusoe at night and carried him to
| Bimini Island. After reaching the island
/ 1t is said that Lewis took passage on a
| schooner for Kingston, Jamaica, or South
| America Capt. Hiscock's story is that
| Lewis threatened him with instant death
! if he did not take him aboard Hiscock
! says he knew Lewis was desperate, ana
| feared the murderer would kill him If he
! refused. There IS another story, how
| ever, to the effect that Lewis paid His
cock q large sum TO aid him in escaping.
| Officers reached Juno to-day with HIS
| cock, who IS in jail in default of $1,000
| bail. The reward offered by citizens and
officers for the apprehension of Lewis
| amounts to nearly $1,000 The feeling
against Lewis is very bitter, as his crime
was one of the most cold-blooded on
| record. There is no doubt that an at
tempt will be made to lynch Lewis If he
| is captured Few people, however, be-
| lieve that the murderer will be taken.

Jacksonville Citizen: A matter of very
| great Importance in connection with the
! revolution in Cuba is the increased price
| of Havana tobacco and the probabl
scarcity of that product, II the revolution
! continues to spread into the tobacco grow
! ing districts This phase of the tobacco
question is being looked upon by cigar
manufacturers with a great deal more
concern than the prohibition which it was
reported Spain intended to put upon the
importation of tobacco to the United
| States, for the purpose of cutting of the
support that cigarmakers in this country
are giving 10 the revolution. Any at
tempt on the part of the Spanish govern
men to do such q thing as the latter is
laughed at, as being very improbable, by
those who are well posted in regard to
Spanish and Cuban movements but the
fact that with another year there may be
no tobacco TO import means quite a differ.
ent thing. Not only would this mean thai
American manufacturers would have &c
use seed" or homegrown tobacco but
what would be of very serious Importance
to Spain would be that there would be q
very material lessening of the revenues
that she derives from her subjects in Cuba
These statements were made to a Citizer
man Thursday by j. A. Huau, a vel
known cigar manufacturer IN this city
and who IS also well acquainted with the
Cuban situation. MIR. Huau stated fur
Their, in reply to inquiries, that the prizes
of tobacco has already advanced very
considerably (about $40 per bale) and tina
the price is steadily increasing. In fact
IT was stated that Florida manufacturer
have appreciated the rise in the price o,
tobacco and probable scarcity of II, to sucf
an extent that they are purchasing more
largely than ever before, and the imports
of Havana tobacco at the Tampa custom

the past two or three months. Also, tina
the large manufacturers are laying in sup
plies of tobacco that will last them for
two or three years to come. The Ell Mo
delo Cigar factory in this city is said II
have recently purchased sufficient tobacco
to keep it running for the next three years
Almost the entire cigar product of Florida
is made from Havana tobacco and IN,
