the order of the Governor and will re-

Six kegs of powder used for blasting
at the bluff on the east of the Hotel
Royal Poinciana, Palm Beach, sent an
immense stone weighing about hun
dred pounds through the roof Of the
dynamo room at 4:30 o'clock last Friday
afternoon, says the citizen correspondent
Two smaller stones also entered the
building. One of them came through
the open window and struck J. B. Dill,
the electrician, in the back. The en-
gineer, J. G. Byham, was standing near
him, and was not injured. The stone
broke the circuit of one of the machines.
The other was blown through the house.
Dill was not seriously injured. The
blast caused panic in the dynamo
room. 1t also stopped the engines for
short time The roof where the stone
entered is covered with tin. The &C.
cident occasioned but little delay, and
the damage can soon be repaired. This
was almost the last blast to be made,

the completion of the concrete walk be-
tween the two hotels. - Titusvlle AID

There have been great depredations
going on in the young budded orange
groves around Meanwhile of late, by par
ties stealing buds in the night-cutting
large buds down to where sthey were
banked. At last, Mr. Fenton offered 1926
for the thief, which caused the arrest OF
wv. Ball, nuseryman of PalaLka, who
was arraigned before Justice Allen OF
Interlachen and was bound over to the
criminal court. The evidence is that
persons who suspected Ball went to Pa

General Weyler the Way With Other

CADIZ, SPAIN, Jan. 2S.-General Weyler,
the newly appointed captain general OF
Cuba, sailed hence to-day for Havana. He
was accompanied by Generals Ahumada,
Barges, Ochando, Bernal, Arolas and Mel
guizo.
HAVANA, CUBA, Jan. 28.-An official
report of an encounter between the
columns of Generals Sinares and Aldecoa
and the rebels under command of Maxine
Gomez locates the latter near at Guanaiay,
to the west of Havana. Heretofore it has
been reported that Gomez was to the east
of the railway running from Havana to
Batabano, but it now appears that he is a
considerable distance to the westward OF
the railroad.
A detachment of troops attacked BODY
of rebels on the Santa Lucia estate yester-
day. The troops used cannon, which
caused the rebels to make hasty retreat.
Employees of the estate say that the rebels
sustained many losses. The Spaniards
lost twelve killed or wounded.
Gomez is supposed to have crossed the
railway line near Quivocan, going west,
and thence through the country near
Seborucal toward the northern part OF
Pinar del Rio.
General Pando reports that in an engage
ment with rebel bands in the province of
Matanzas the Spaniards lost five killed.
The rebel loss is unknown.

Many Of the. Shipwrecked Men
Are Picked Up by Pass

AT LEAST TEN ARE DROWNED.
1t Is Great Blow to the Cause of
the Patriots Who Are Battling
for Freedom.

BOSTON, MASS, Jan. 2S.-Last Sunday
night the steamer ]. w. Hawkins, COM
manded by Captain Woodrow, sailed from
New York with party of between seventy
five and 100 men bound, it Is claimed, for
Cuba, where the party was to enter the
ranks of the insurgent army. When the
steamer was off the eastern end of Long
Island she sprang serious leak, and the
water gained so rapidly that all hands
were obliged to take to the boats.
Monday morning the men were picked
up by passing schooners, among which
was the three-masted schooner Helen II
Benedict, Captain Brockett, bound from
Norfolk for Boston with a cargo of coal.
The Benedict picked up twenty-five of the
men and landed them at Vineyard Haven
late last night, from which place they were
transferred this morning by the steamer
Susie d and landed at Woodstock, where
they took an early train for New York.
The four-masted schooner Alice r.
Crosby, Newport News for Boston, fell in
with another boat from the steamer about
sixty-ive miles southeast of Sandy Hook
lightship, which contained twenty-three
persons, but owing TO the rough sea only
thirteen were saved, the other ten being
drowned. The Crosby landed the sur
vivors at Woodsholl this morning, where
they took a train for New York this after
noon.
Another vessel, a three-masted schooner.
picked up number of the wrecked people
ano it is supposed put back with them to
Delaware breakwater. The men were
mostly Spaniards and would say very little
concerning the disaster. 1t was said.
however, that the steamers true destina-
ton was Cuba; that her cargo consisted of
$25, 900 worth of ammunition, one gun on
board having cost $4,000.
The ]. w. Hawkins was steamer of 125
tons net and 1873 tons gross. She was
built at Kennebunk, Me-, in 1880, and
hailed from Onancock, Va. The steamer
has been engaged in the fishing business.
but has been lying idle in Baltimore har.
Dor for some months.
Two weeks ago Mr.. Tinsley appeared
in Baltimore, and desired to purchase the
steamer for Mr.. Smith of New York.
Those interested in the sale noticed that
plenty of money for the purchase was ap-
parently at hand; but whatever sus-
picions the sellers may have entertained
they were very careful to keep to them
selves, and in an incredibly short time the
boat was delivered to her new owner free
from debt. She was at once taken to New
York, where it is alleged little band of
men were gathered in readiness to get on
board, their intention being to ioin the
Cuban army and fight in the ranks. In
spite of the vigilance of the Spanish
authorities, the steamer was fitted for sea
and the men were taken safely on board.
Last Sunday night she sailed from that
port, commanded by Captain Woodrow.
Unfortunately, however, the boat was
unfit for sea and the hasty preparations
had allowed no time for thorough ex-
animation of her bottom, for she had pro-
ceeded only as far as the eastern end of

NEW YORK, n. Y, Jan. 2S.-The final
gathering of the tilibusters was in mar
ble-yard at Port Morris at One Hundred
and Thirty-eighth street, where there is a
dock, late Saturday night.
General Garcia, his son and 170 other
Cubans, who had enlisted for the expedi-
ton, met in the yard and the Hawkins
tied up at this dock. Then it was
found that there were more volunteers
than the steam boat could carry. II was I'M
possible to take more than 120 and it was
necessary to sift out fifty m en-. This an
nouncement was made after two men had
deserted and had been chased away in the
darkness
After the chosen band had been sifted
and the 120 had got aboard the Hawkins
steamed away for the Sound. The arms
of the boat consisted of two Hotchkiss
rapid-fire guns, 1900 Remington and Win
chester rifles and some revolvers.
There was plenty of ammunition for tue
Hotchkiss guns and 1,000,0 600 cartridges for
the rifles. General Garcia also had taken
along 5000 pounds of dynamite and ma
terials for making heavy explosives.

BERLIN. GERMANY, Jan. 28.-A private
funeral service was held at the residence
of the late ambassador Runyon to-day, at
which no one was present except the men,
bers of the family and the staffs of the
American embassy and consulate.
Mrs. Runyon, who is nearly PROSTATE
with grief, was led into the room by her
son-in-law, Mr.. Haskins. Her condition
is causing her friends much anxiety.
After the service the coffin was placed
in a vault in the American church
in the presence of the staff OF the emb bassy
and consulate. There was no service at
the vault except special prayer by the
Rev. Mr.. Dickie of st. Georges Church.
F. Zimmerman, United States Vice
Ccnsul-General, watched over the body

THREE VESSELS GET AWAY.


Expeditions Secretly Fitted Out IN Con-
Teetfcuf.
NEW HAVEN. Conn, Jan. 28.-The
Register tonight says:
1t is asserted this afternoon on the high
est authority that three vessels for the
Cuban insurgents had been tltted up on the
coast of Long Island, only short distance
from this city, and sent safely to the island
loaded down with arms and supplies for
the insurgents cause. For several months
the work OF fitting out the craft has been
in progress and it was stated that the last
vessel was brigantine and left its port on
the coast only month ago.
The vessels have been able to
make such an unsuspected escape
through the fact that the Govern
ment authorities were watching for
them at the New York end of the Sound,
while the boats slipped away by Montauk
Point and New London. The main value
of the supplies for the Cuban cause lay in
the arms shipped. These were obtained,
it was stated. from the manufacturers in
this vicinity and were transported to the
objective point on the coast quietly. where
they were taken on board the boat and
got away later. The insurgents have
found, it is said, nearly as many and as
willing hands in executing the mission as
the slaves found in the celebrated under
ground railway before the war.

REGARDED As 4 MISFORTUNE.

But the Cuban Patriots Are Not at All
Dotcncast.
PHILADELPHIA. Pa, Jan. 2S.-Sev-
eral prominent Cubans we're seen this
evening regarding the disaster to the
steamer Hawkins, which had a cargo of
arms and ammunition besides a party of
Cubans bound for their native country.
While they admitted that it was a mis-
fortune and caused general regret they
seemed to be by no means downcast be-
cause of the mishap.
ION the contrary" said one of the lead
ing Cubans of the city, "we are ready to
make still greater efforts in behalf of the
struggle to free our country. We Cubans
have to purchase vessels, arms, everything
under difficulties. Such purchases must
be made and very quietly. We are there
fore exposed to deception. Those who
purchased the Hawkins were evidently
deceived regarding her se2worthiness."

the occupants made frantic Jumps Tor the
vessel.
Ten of the poor fellows were unable to
secure hold on her side, fell into the sea
and were sucked under with the under
tow. Several others narrowly escaped a
similar fate.
H. M. Clarity, who shipped as assistant
steward of the Hawkins, said there was no
use in denying that they were bound on
filibustering expedition, although the crew
was not supposed to know anything
about it.
Fireman Thomas Kelly, who was, he
says, the only man saved out of the en-
cheering department, said that he was
not told the nature of the trip when he
was shipped. The men were PROMISED
good wages, which was sufficient induce
ment for them to ask no que stions.

NEW YORK, n. Y, Jan. 2S.-The White

rived from Liverpool this morning, passed
the Cunard line steamer Catalonia, Janu-
ary y, 1000 miles from Fastnet, in distress,
with her shaft broken. Her captain de-
sired to be towed to Boston, but Captain
Nicol of the Cevic declined, because of the
great distance, and he felt that he could
not afford to turn back and tow her to Ire
land.
LONDON, ENG, Jan. 2s.-The Cunard

WHAT an immense amount of
gall some people must have. The
Republicans who were sent to the
st. Louis convention, and who
went there and stood with the gold
bugs right through the whole busi-
ness, are back here in Arizona
now, councelling their Republican
breatherin to stay with silver. If
these same men had Oeen honest
friends to silver they would have
left that convention hall with Tel
ler and others. Every true silver
man left the convention as soon as
they found there was no show for
anyone except worshipers of the
golden calf. And now these dele
gates expect to fool the people by
saying, we voted for "McKinley

A GOOD SHOWING.

The returns as just made up to
the county assessors Office show
that the most thorough assessment
has just been completed that Gra-
ham county has ever had, and
Sheriff White and his deputies are
entitled to due credit for the eff
ficient work done.
1t has always been maintained
that a great deal more property
existed than had ever been listed,
III fact while Geo. Olney was sher-
iff he assured the board on several
occasions that assessments return
ed by number of large companies
were too low.
Sheriff Wight this year made it
a point to appoint deputies whom
he was confident would be thorough
in their work, and assess every
thing that was assessable.
Last Friday night, after about
two weeks hard labor, under Sheriff
Smith and Deputy Assessor Hayes,
finished the compilation of the list,
these two gentlemen having done
a considerable portion of the ass,
essment work.
The result as finally footed up
shows a very satisfactory increase
in the county. 1t stands, as Ie'
turned to the Assessors office for
the year 1896, sl,86S, ,196.73, as
against 81, 5,O6O.54, for the year
1895.
The present assessment as re-
turned shows even more property
than did the assessment sheet last
year after the Board of Equaliza,
ton had got through with it. The
list stood last year, after having
been raised by the Board, approx
imately, S1,S21,OOO.O0. 1t is
thought some raise will be made
this year, and if such is the case
the list will reach nearly $4,000,
900.

THE celebration, of tho oath,
which was to be a Stake affair
with the bishops of the different
wards as the head committee, has
simmered down to a celebration
by the Thatcher people, with an
invitation extended, however, to
everybody to be present. The
reason of this change is that a
meeting of the committee was cal
led for a week ago last Sunday,
aud only Pima and Thatcher were
represented. Nothing was done at
the meeting except to adjourn to
last Sunday. Again only Pima
and Thatcher were represted, and
those present decided that the
other towns did not want to Join
in general celebration, therefore
it was decided that Thatcher would
give the celebration at Montierth S
grove, and an invitation is extend
ed to all. A picnic will be given
in the grove after the exercises
and the Thatcher people are in
structed to make all strangers
welcome and entertain them to the
best of their ability.
