THE REVOLT - CUBA.
Secret Movement on Foot to Equip
Large ARMY.

Secret Movement on Foot to Equip
Large Army.
JACKSONVILLE Fla.), March 2S.-It is
reported here tonight that a secret move
ment IS on foot to organize, equip and
embark direct from Jacksonville and
Fernandina an army of 1900 Cubans and
negroes for service in the insurrection i'll
Cuba. The movement is reported to be
managed by the Cuban revolutionists.
The ground reported to be taken by tho
managers is that as the Spanish officials
persistently deny that an insurrection
exists in Cuba she cannot make a valid
complaint at Washington against filibus-
terIng expeditions. The United States
can and will proceed against tilibustering
only when Spain gives formal notice that
an InsurreCtlOn exists in Cuba, and that
an expedition leaving the Upited States
IS to lead the rebels and thereby violate
the treaty between Spain and this Gov
ernment.
1t may be that the movement reported
to be secretly taking form here is merely
an audacious bluff to frighten Spain into
acknowledging the insurrecuOn, but
whether it IS or not, conspicuous names
are identified with the enterprise. Con
Zales DQueseda of New York and Colo
neI tIguerdo OF Tampa, who are leaders
IN the movement, are reported to be
wealthy and are contributing large sums
to the cause.
An influential citizen Of Jacksonville,
who will be conspicuous member OF the
Legislature, which meets next week at
Tallahassee, is familiar with all the
secrets OF clubs. He talked some
what freely of the expedition. Solicit
ors are now at work throughout
Florida, gathering money aud engaging
men TO join the expedition. he said, and
an effort will be made after the meeting to
organize an army Of $1,000 Cubans and
negroes.
The army will be in command of an
American soldier, an officer Of the Grand
Army OF the Republic. who has vOIun-
teeren for the enterprise. The plan of
the club IS to charter fast steam vessels
and embark at Jacksonville and Fer
nandIna. The expedition Will be pre-
pared to fight as soon as it leaves. 1t will
go straight for small Cuban port and
JOIN the patriots.

FLORIDA will have to yield the palm TO
California this year so far as oranges are
concerned" said =. II. Patterson Of Lees
burg, Fla. The heavy frosts which
killed OIL not only the crops, but the trees.
was fearful blow TO the Florida fruit
growers. one OF the most peculiar things
that came undor my observation in con
nection with that calamity was the escape
Of an orchard grove near YalIaha, on the
south side Of Lake Harris, about seven
or eight miles from Leesburg. The trees
III that grove were as green when / saw
them few days ago as ever, and not only
tnat, they were loaded with unfrOsted
fruit. on may Imagine what a sight
that would be amid such desOlaLe sur
rOundings as were presented by the great
orchards on every hand with leaves
wIthered and shrunkeu and the yellow
fruit fast going to decay.
1T is a peculiar fact that this same
grove escaped the killing frosts of 1856 as
well, which IS probably due TO the uu-
usual topography Of the land. Tho grove
Is about 100 acres in extent, and reaches
TO the shores Of Lake Harris, from which
1t gradually rises TO a hight Of about 10
feet above the lake, and on the summit Of
this picturesque hill stands the nome Of
the owner, 2 Mr.. kennard. 1t is enc Of
the best protected orchards in the State Of
Florida, and the owner may consider
himself peculiarly blessed in having a
location OF such unusual value"

Repairing an ocean Cable.

1t is said that one submarine cable is
laid at a depth Of 5000 feet. But there
are a. least three cables working at a
depth Of nearly 1900 feet, and four in
about 5000. The vast majority lie in
water about J., 900 feet deep or less. Re
pairing cable is hard work. The aDUa-
raLus has also TO be at once sensitive and

pairing steamer proceeds to the point
where calculation shows the break or

Odcisl Report OF the Matter Received

WASHINGTON, March 2S.-The report
of Captain Davis of the United States
steamship Montgomery, upon his in
vestigation in Honduras surrounding
the killing Of the American Rentou at
Brewers Lagoon, has just been received
at the Navy Department. The report is
voluminous, and is being carefully siited
by the officials. Captain Davis made a
most careful inquiry into all the facts.
The conclusion Is that the Honduras
Government is properly chargeable with
the respOnslO Oility for the AFFAIR, and has
been derelct IN failing TO take any steps
whatever 10 ascertain and punish the
perpetrators OF the crime. Captain
Davis visit awakened the Houdurau
officials, and there Is now fair prospect
that justice will be secured at last. Cap

tanned by The Reuton estate amounts TO

1t May be Necessary to Go Over the

WAsHINGTON, March 27.-There is

to be adjudicated.
santos IS an American citizen who was

was preferred by our Government, which

not until 1921 that the final ratiticatious

the claim was to be submitted to arbitra-

by the terms Of this treaty the British
Minister at quito was to be requesteG To
act as arbitrator. or in the event of his
ueCIILatIOh, ne was to name the arDItra-

the selection OF the arbitrator. and this

President, Secretary Gresham and Secra-

The callers disclosed a general desire to
appoint the Commissioners and equip an
expedition to Nicaragua at tho oarlicst
day practicable. No names were mem
toned for the places as Commissioners,
appointments would be made soon.
At tho conclusion OF the conference
Bartlett, Of the committee which has
reOrganIZed the company, outlined the
projected work. "It is most desirable.'
said he, that the expedition start at the
earliest day practicable. The rainy sea-
son begins in May and lasts until No.
vemDer, and this and the climate will

locality. The desire Is to complete the
work this summer"
MIR. Bartlett was asked if the pending
troubles between Great Britain and
Nicaragua would embarrass the work or
threaten United States interest in the
Nicaragua Canal.
Not in the slightest" said he. There
IS sure to be an amicable adjustment Of
the controversy. At one time there was
some talk that Great Britain would inter
yene and build the canal if we did not,
but the time is past"
Mr.. Bartlett said the new officers and

company would be announced at an
