TAMPA, Fla, Dec. eS.-The develop
ments in Cuban circles have been start
ling, and the actors in the recent sea trag-
sdy who were on board the Three Friends
are badly frightened over the gravity Of
the situation in which they have been
involved, They find themselves, instead
Of being in q dangerous position as fill
busters, to be in the unonvinble position
Of pirates, and tho wisest Cuban heads
have been summoned in consultation.
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury
Scott Wi'se was at Key West Investigating
the matter, but the absence of a district
attorney at that place made the inyestiga-
tion % farce. Mr.. WlEe stopped at Jack
sonville Saturday afternoon and censured
the district attorney there for having no
representative at Key West He arrived
hero yesterday, and has been in consulta-
ton with the collector Of GuStpms.
Yesterday the affair prsseStsd the fol-
lowing aspect: No denial had been mado
of the story by the officials of the Three
Friends. Their silence was an admission
In that case Spain may make requisition
upon this government for the persons who
wore aboard, and this government has no
alternative but the delivery.
Mr.. Wike leaves today on tho cutter
Forward, for Key West, where the fullest
possible details of the serious situation
will be obtained.
When the Olivette arrived yesterday af-
ternoon Colonel Emilio Nunez GARLIC and
several Cubans were on board. Captain
O'Brien, Of the Three Friends, also was
passenger. Colonel Nunez admitted that
the story Of the engagement was true, and
appeared particularly proud. Thisadmis-
sion by Colonel Nunez and the non-denial
Of o Beien is regarded as substantiating
the story of the fight Other passengers be-
sides Nunez confirm the story. 1t is also
learned that the arms of the last expedition
fell into Spanish hands Nunez has been
the custodian of all the recent expeditions.
When tho Cubans learned Of Assistant
Secretary Wlke's presence the boastins
changed to CONSERVATION rs the light in
which they were regarded dawned upon
them. Nuaez and the Cubans came to
Tampa to consult with the leading
Cubans. They loft for Jacksonville last
night, where they go to confer with the
owners of the Three Friends
Francis Lynde Stetson, President Cleve-
lands former law partner, was at Port
Tampa yesterday. When this was learned,
it was said that he had been sent as II

This helped to increase the fright of the
Cubans The Three Friends left Key

The Poster In Japan.

Four or five years ago stopped for
the night at little tea-house fer up
In the noun ,ains Of Japan. Nowhere
were to be seen any railroads. Euro
pean cast-off clothing. or other mod
ern improvements; and in walk
through the village, after a dinner Of
rice and fish, was led to believe that
at least spot had been found where
things were to be as they always had
been. But on returning to the village
last summer there stood at the door
little maiden with a delightfun smile
Of rejoicing, as she proudly showed In
one hand an unmistakable nickel
plated alarm clock and in the other an
unbroken tin-foiled stick of chewing
gum. Verify our civilization had ar
rived. The next day, however, in vii
lage even more remote, q still greater
surprise awaited me. for, displayed
prominently on blank wall, with an
admiring crowd about it, was a verit-
able poster: and few more days
showed that this innovation In art, IL
II may be so called. was common and
highly popular. Every tea-house had
its series. and all the shops in the
bazaars were full of them, and wher-
ever poster was in sight an admiring
throng was sure to be seen. A new
style Of drawing seemed to go hand
In hand with the new idea, and even
an understanding of our perspective
vas appreciable.-D. p. b. Conkling.
