UNCLE SAM'S OFFICIALS WHO WERE AT THE JACKSONVILLE MEET

ING CAUSE SPECULATIVE TALK.
 WASHINGTON, April 5.-The presence of United States officials at the mass meeting at Jacksonville, Fla. last night, at which resolutions Were adopted sympathizing with the Cuban revolutionists, has at tracted much attention in official circles here, and IS likely to further complicate the already confused relations between the United States and Spain.
 Attorney General Olney was asked as to the propriety of two prominent officials of and United States Attorney Clark, attend ing the meeting. He said he was not pre- pared to express an opinion on the subject, as the matter would probably be brought to his attention for official action.
 It is learned, however, from high official sources in the state department that the presence of federal officials at the meeti ng Is regarded as serious breach Of official etiquette. As the official put it, ''the United States is at peace with Spain and our relations with her are amicable. The federal officials of Florida represent the dignity and power of the United States, not the state sovereignty of Florida, and as such their presence at the meeting in sympathy with the enemies of Spain can only be construed as an unfriendly exhibi- tion Of our feelings toward Spain. Of course, the United States entertains no such sentiment as nation and will dis claim it,
 Until the matter is officially brought to the attention of the United States through the regular diplomatic channels it is not probable that Ihe federal officials will be called to account, and not then until they have the opportunity to explain their pres- eDce.

the meeting, it is necessary to say if he (0lnoy) mad received such information it is absolutely false. Messrs. Clark and Mo- Kay were at the meeting, and hundreds saw them. They do not deny they were present, and they came to the Southern As- socated Press agent to explain their pres- ence, which explanation Is given in the be- ginning of this dispatch.
 h the report of the meeting sent out last night 1t was not stated that Attorney Clark or Marshal Mckay took part in the pro eedings In the SC nse of making speeches. Iheir presence was simply noted as was that of other prominent citizsns of Jackson vile. It would be interesting to know who is Olney's authority for the state ment that "neither Clark nor McKay' was at the meeting.

CAUSE FOR ANXIETY. REPORTED PURCHASE OF A SCHOONER FOR

CUBA PROVES CORRECT.
 NEW YORK, April 5.-A Herald special from Key West, Fla, says: The anxiety of the Spanish consul over the departure of the revenue steamer McLane, news of which was telegraphed yesterday, proves to have been well grounded. Information from the most authentic source states that the Cuban revolutionists have just pur- chased schooner in Tampa, Fla, which will convey an expedition to the Cuban coast. The vessel is about ten tons burden and a fast sailer, and has since the pur- chase been hauled abreast the city of Tampa to have her bottom cleaned and re- pairs made. She has been documented in the name of fictitious owners, and it is an- nounced she will be employed in carrying excursions in the harbor.
 The plan outlined con templates that the expedition will leave Tampa and run down the west coast of Florida, enter one of the numerous channels, pick up the Key West contingent at one of the keys in this vicin- ity and then square off for the Cuban coast.
 Among those mentioned to accompany the expedition besides Secretary Quesada are several weli-known flibusters. One was in the Virginius expedition of 1873, and his youthfulness only saved him from execution. Another accompanied Aguer in 1884.
 Should the expedition succeed in evading the vigilance of the Tampa authorities, the officials here expect to intercept 1t before it leaves Florida waters. To this end the rev. enue steamer McLsne is wanted to be kept in readiness to act in concert with several sal vessels which have been constantly em- ployed patrolIing the coast. The date of the sailing is not positively known, but it is believed it was determined in the Jackson vile conference yesterday.
 News has been received here from Cuba that battle has been fought between the government troops and insurgent forces near Gaunjay, in the province Of Pima del Rio. 1t is reported the government troops were defeated.

is matter of very great Importance;
that the South is beginning to see this
is evident from the developments
along this line all over our country.
It is certainly profitable Investment:
it is nome enterprise and it IS our

it is educational; it opens up business

that pay, thus holding out 9 prize to
the most successful, and our old cltl-
zens beget confidence in each other
and al willing to trust their money
in a well conducted enterprioo Of '''7
Kind. There is perhaps no enterprise
more permanent nor one that would
give more prosperity to the county
than this, and we believe that if one
half the cotton crop Of the South could
be successfully manufactured in the
South, the financial problem would be
solved. The per capita Of circulation
would be increased to such condi-

Mr.. Editor: Having asked the pub
lie through your columns to suspend
judgment in this dispensary case until
could be hesrd from in my defense,
I take this opportunity Of entering
upon ,hst defense; but as the grand
jury has made 8 presensment bearing
on the whole case, I propose % curtail
what had to say, as it would b., not
only unWise but unnecessary at this
time to enter into al elaborate defense
You mistook my meaning, when in
Your comment on that card you seemed
to think there wss something cloaked
or hidden in the matter. When I
said proposed to take al! the starch
out Of the Ridgeway dispeneary sensa-
,iou, had reference to the sensational
publication in regard to the matter,
and you will find later on that there
j. no sensation about the whole affair,
and that it will boil down to the short
age of Mr.. Lewis and nothing more.
I had been hearing rumors that there
were afidavits to the effect thst I was
drunk at the dispensary that afternoon
st Ridgeway. and I had gone to work
and got up witnesses to prove to the
contrary, and say right here that I
can get twenty-five men who will dis
prove any such charge, and they are
gentlemen of unimpeachable charac-
ter. Now, when =! got ready to upset
that charge it was dropped, for some
cause.
Now, as fer the presentment Of the
grand jury for selling whiskey Illegally
| must say tha: they ought to have
been better posted as TO the powers of
a board Of control before they pre-.
sented me for that. Any one who
will take the pains to read the dis
