THE LAGUNDA'S MATE.
Another of the Suspected Vessels
Shows Up in Florida.

FERNANDINA, Fla, Jan. 13.-Early
this morning there steamed up the bay
small ship that turned out to be the Nor
wegian ship Baracoa, Captain Clausen,
that sailed from Boston about week ago.
This is the mysterious unknown vessel
associated with the yacht Lagonda, de-
tanned by customs officers here yesterday
and suspected, because of rifles and cut
lasses being on board. The Baracoa is a
swift iron steamer of $50 tons register. The
chartering of this vessel is the result of
Mr.. Borden's visit to Boston the latter
part Of December. Borden stopped at the
Adams House while in Boston and is re-
ported to have passed himself off as an
Engiishman. AS soon as the Baracoa
boarded her. Captain Clausen said that his
instrIc Lions from Mr.. Borden, the charter
party, had been to proceed from Boston
to Fernandina and load with three nun
dred tons of merchandise for West Indian
ports. He had received f475 sterling in ad-
vance for his services. The Baracoa came
water ballaSted and nothing suspicious was
found aboard. Senors Montell jr and
Mirandi of the Lagonda, left here to-day
and it is the opinion that they will not re-
turn. 1t transpired to-day that Borden re-
line, $50 large and small cases supposed
to contain arms and ammunition. All that
can be found of the $50 cases are the few
that on the Lagonda in the charge of
United States marshals. The river will
probably be dragged tomorrow for the
missing cases. The Lagonda was seized

states that the sending of another commis-

the Appropriation for Indians.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-Representative
Holman, chairman of the House Committee
on Indian Affairs. has prepared a report to
accompany the Indian appropriation bill. 1t
shows that the total Indian appropriations
for 1895 We're 1868, ,6S9 less than for 1894. while
this BILL providing for 1896, carries total
of S. 1876 $50 a reduction of $23S, ,175 below the
appropriation bill for 1895 Many of the re-
ductions were made upon the recommenda-
ton of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs.
Representative Holman says: While there
is material reduction from the estimates.
especially as TO contingent expenditures it
is understood by the Committee on Indian
Affairs that in the main the reductions will
not embarrass the Indian office in providing
appropriations for schools, a special sum,
amounting to s124,350 is added to the gen
eral appropriation for Indian schools in
creasng the amount from sl.0000O0 TO $l-
i24 s5o'' Most important of the legislative
feature incorporated in the bill is a plan by
which liz is proposed to solve the yexed
problem of governmental relations with con-
tract schools, so called, most Of which are
under church control, and which have been
the cause OF sectarian contentious. The
Secretary of the Interior is authorized 10
make contracts for the educatsons of In
dian pupils in these schools for the next
fiscal year to an extent not exceeding 50
per cent of the amount so used last year
and each succeeding year the amount is to
be reduced 20 per cent. 80 that at the end

TAYLOk'S BoNDoMEN
Called to Take Measures Looking to
a Speedy settlement.

CHICAGO, Jan. 13.-Ex-Governor Arthur
C. Mellette has come down from South Da-
kota on the supposition that the defaulting
State Treasurer, w. w. Taylor, may be in
Chicago and anxious TO make a settlement.
He is interested 10 the extent of $4,000
bond in the location of Mr.. Taylor and to
start action in the matter he called a meet
ing OF the men who had guaranteed the
Treasurers honesty. J. c. McChesney of
New York, who was an equal indorser with
the Ex-Governor, was the first TO arrive,
and several days will be spent in confer
ence over ways and means and an exam
ination into the exact condition of affairs
The men from the north now estimate the
shortage at $4,000, which Is 900 more
than the bond. 1t is the opinion in Huron
and Pierre that Taylor will produce $4,000
as soon as he is found, and willingness
OF the present Treasurer would probably
secure much lenency as to the remaining
$1,000. There seventeen men or the
Taylor bond most OF whom have been
asKed to the conference.
''lt is question now, said Mr.. Meilette
to-day, whether Taylor is in this country
or Europe. There is much diversion OF
opinion, but / am of the opinion he Is here
and may try TO make a settlement. He
disposed OF his Evanston and Chicago real
estate before he dropped from notice. This
Is taken both sign that he wanted all
the ready money possible for his travels
and that he was getting his collaterafs into
cash for = possible sstslement. There - as

meeting held to-day in the rooms of the Y.

zation, criticised Chief of Police McChesney,
accusing him of inactivity and lack of
knowledge of existing evils. He wanteu TO
know if the chief was not aware that even

streets swarmed with fallen wonien. 1t is

ment of Nose Gunsg, the well-known sport
ing man, as police commissioner of San
Francisco, the recent refusal of Acting
United States District Attorney knight to
issue a warrant for the arrest of G. p.
Huntington for violation of the Interstate
commerce law and the issuing of a pass to
Frank H. Stone, politician, and the glar-
ing frauds at the recent election caused
Mayor Sutro to issue a call for mass

matter. The meeting was held last night
in Metropolitan Hall, which was crowded
by representative citizens. 1t is estimated
that 10000 people were turned away, being
unable to gain admission. The meeting was
very business like. Speeches Were made by
well-known men and series of resolutions
were adopted appropriate to the occasion.
These resolutions denounce c. p. Hunting
ton as self-confessed briber; accuse him
of taking 900 from English stock
holders in the Central Pacific and solemn
protest entered against the passage of the

is appealed to to protect the people of Cali
