Another Success.

KEY WEST, Fla, April 11.-News
was received here last night of the
landing on Cuban soil of the expedi-
ton commanded by Colonel Monson A.
Guerre, who had 45 men, 800 rifles, 400
900 cartridges and a large amount of
dynamite. Although the expedition
cost but $4,000, it is considered as i'm
portant as those of Garcia and Col
lasco because no money was spent on
a steamer for it. Senior Collas with
special orders from Delegate Palma.
managed the affair in Key West and
Tampa He was assisted by Seniors
Payo and Figuerdo. Colonel Aguerre,
commander of this expedition, is vet
eran of the war of 1858. He served
under Gomez and Maceo and was pro-
NOTED to the rank of colonel for his
bravery in the invasion of Las Villas
by General Gomez in 1875. He also
served under General Garcia, who al
ways praised his military ability be-
lieving him one of the best soldiers in
the Cuban army. Word has also been
received that two schooners loaded with
arms and ammunition had arrived
safely in Cuba, leaving their cargoes
with Maceo'S army.

Naval Affairs.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE SEN
ate committee on naval affairs had a
secret session today for the purpose of
considering the testimony taken in
connection with the armor plate inves-
LEGATION. The only definite conclusion
reached was not to interfere with the
secretary OF the navy in making con-
tracts for arnor for the Kentucky and
kearsarge, but allow these to be
given to private firms as heretofore
These vessels are so far advanced that
any interference would cause delay of
their completion, and this the COM
mittee is not willing to be responsible
for
The question of future contracts, es-
pecially on the war ships authorized
by the pending naval appropriation
bill, is the cause of considerable con-
Germ to the committee. They feel that
the price, about $500 per ton, which the
government has been paying for armor
plate, is too high, but have not found
feasible way of reducing it. Their
Investigations have revealed the fact
that the cost of the manufacture of
the plate averages about $500 a ton.
The manufacturers make the plea.
however, that the work furnished is
not sufficient to keep them constantly
employed, and say that with contracts
running constantly for five or ten years
they could reduce the price, but not
otherwise. 1t is this state of affairs
which has led the committee to con-
slider the ACCESSIBILITY of building a
government plant. The advice of ma
val experts, however, has been opposed
TO this course. AS a consequence the
committee is in somewhat of a guam
dairy and the result of its delibera-
tons is not yet in sight.
With reference TO another branch
of the committees inquiry. that touch
ing upon the employment of naval Off
GERS by armor plate constructors, the
committee will in all probability re-
port a bill forbidding naval officers, ac-
tive or retired, to accept such employ
ment. The opinion of a majority of
the committee appears to be that the
custom is prejudicial to the interests
of the navy.

CONDITION AND VALUE OF CUBA

Cuba is the island we want for her
inherent wealth, for the fact that her
tropical productions would invigoratey,
augment and give symmetrical come
pleteness to our commerce, and she
assure us supreme control OF those seas,
as American as our great lakes. Amer
leans of the United States should mo-
longer involve themselves in the con-
ceit that they alone are capable of
self-government. The Cubans have
had the teachings of many troubles
and wrought with a sad sincerity"
and if the test comes it will be proven
that they have builded wiser than we
knew. We have no place for Cuba
save as a state. and she is worthy to
be a. member of our union. That is the
fate and fortune that awaits her and.
it is the only way OF salvation. Soon-'
er or later, maybe very soon, perhaps
after some time has passed, the grasp.
of Spain will relax, and Cuba free
will substantiate her wisdom forever

svsten.-From ''Our Cuban Neighbors

on the published statement that the
Northrup-Braslau- Goodwin company
was a commission house, and that
they could not put their names. on the
packages as a guarantee of the worth
of their Seeds
The libel bill will state that this
charge is false; has injured-the firm,
and that it has $4,000 acres of land
under cultivation in the growing of
seeds, and that at the time this state
ment was made the secretary had the
firms offer to supply the seeds at $10,-
zoo under its bid if the secretary would
permit its name to appear on each
package.
The Landreth firm, which has been
IN business ia years, and unlike the
Chicago company, grew its own seeds,
obligated itself in bonds to submit
to a deduction from the amount paid
them for seeds in precise proportion to
the failure of that seed to come UP to
the standard tests. This is the first
time in the history of the agricultural
department that such contract was
ever made.

THE CORRESPONDENTS AND THE

The correspondents of the Ameri-

utmost consequence today would be old.

row. Their difhcuIty-it would hardly
do to call 1t weakness-was their lack
of the same quick apprehension in the
appreciation of the conditions of war
that was habitual to them in sizing uu.
minor matters.
Why should they not find the facts
and telegraph them straight to New
York? Why should they not go through
the dimes and report the rebels? Where
was the harm? But there was the
solid old stone postoffice, with one end;
in it of the wire that dipped into the
gulf to rise again at Key West; and
there was an armed guard at the door;f
and this tomb of kilograms kept itsi

WILL MENELEK AND THE MAHDI
JOIN FORCES:

AS matter of tradition and history,
10! these many centuries, the Abys-
sinians. in their highlands east of the
Blue Nile, and the more or less no.
madic Mahommedan Arabs in the
Soudan west of Abyssinia, have en-
gagged in strife and contention on the
border line. But it is not impossible
that circumstances will soon bring
these two fighting races, one Moslem
and the other Christian, into a scheme
of military cooperation. They may
conclude to make common cause
against Italy, which is encroaching
upon Abyssinia, and against England.
Withdrawing at once as the friend
and ally of Italy and as the receiver
general of Egypt-is now moving upon
Dongola, between the fourth and fifth
Of the Nile cataracts, as if it were the
intention to recover from the Mahdi
the provinces which had been held for
some years as tributary to Egypt.
Those provinces were known as the
Egyptian Soudan, and they were final
ly closed to the outward world with
the massacre of the Egyptian army
led by the brave English general,
Hicks, in 1882, followed by the events
which led to the death of General
Gordon at Khartoum and the retreat
of General Wolseley's column, which
in 1885 undertook the fruitless expedi-
ton for the relief of Gordon.-From

BRIGHAM CITY, April lit seems
that the loyal silver Republicans here

over the results of the county conven-

At that meeting Judge Coombs intro

the anti-silver, high protection sheep

Coombs and a small minority of loyal
silver men worked vigorously for sill

The number of conference people
from Brigham this spring far exceeded

The new manifesto and the action of
the church in reference to Apostle Mo-

in Brigham, as well as in every town
and village in the county and state.
There were arguments pro and con.
Apostle Thatcher has numerous warm
friends and sympathizers in this coun-

perfect health is the sincere wish of
thousands.
The ground in these parts is fast
growing as dry as bone on account

the Republicans have chosen to repre-

this much the Democrats of Box FL

Several of the district schools have
been taking trips up to the mountains
lately. The children enjoyed their outs

old way of seeing how many eggs one

The county commissioners were in
session in Brigham Monday. The peo-
pie are beginning to wonder what eff
feet the new salary law will have upon
the salaries of the Boxelder county
officials. In nearly every case. the
maximum figures adopted by the legis-
lature gives the county court the pow
or to raise the present salaries. They
will in all probability leave them
about as they are at present. which
would probably be about right. They
may get an economic streak, however,
and slash things generally But as the
present county court here may be said
to be mongrel body, part Democrats
and part Republicans, neither party
could claim any particular credit If
they should cut salaries generally.
The Willard people are noted for be-
ing almost cranky on the rotation in

John P Burt Lorenzo Jensen and
George Harding are three young men of
this city who will shortly leave for mis-
sions to Europe and different parts OF
the United States. The number OF mis-
sionaries leaving Brigham this spring is
unprecedented in the history Of the
town. Every eligible young man
thinks: "W;ll I be next?" Some OF
them would prefer leap year proposal
from a pretty girl.
The woman vote in this county will
cut a big figure in the fall election.
This new element will cast from 1000
to 1,4OO votes at the next election. II
some woman with a Joan of Arc force
of character should bob UP among them
and lead them on to a solid vote they
would give the men element tight one
even if the latter should combine for
mutual protection against the common
enemy. But as it is the Democrats
here feel confident they will draw a
good majority of this female vote,
which will give them the county by
handsome majority. But to do this VIII

in promulgating the superior princ1-
pies CHI their grand old party Of Jefter-
