phia-Other Cuban Chatter
PHILADELPHIA, April 1.-THE
steamer Bermuda, which has proved a
successful Cuban filibusterer, arrived
in part last night. Captain O'Brien
was not ready to risk any chances of
arrest that might be lurking in Phila-
delphia, hence a tug went down the
bay to meet the vessel. When she
reached Marcus Hook. twelve miles
south of here, Captain O'Brien and
several others, among whom are sup
posed to be General Garcia and Senior
Nunez, disembarked and were carried
by the tug boat to the wharf. The
party then took train for New
York
The Bermuda came to the city Thurs
day and cast anchor. No one has yet
been permitted to board the vessel.
Some of the crew have come ashore.
One of them recounted the incidents
of the famous filibustering journey. He
said they carried 80 cases of war sup
plies to Cuba He told how the Ber-
muda had been reprinted in single
night to avoid detection. He said six
Spanish cruisers were within seven
miles of the Bermuda at Baracoa har-
Dor when the munitions were being
landed
The sailor concluded his narrative by
stating that thirty minutes after the
Cubans marched inland and the Ber-
muda got under way again. Span
ish man of war came out of the har-
Dor and began swinging her search
lights across the sea. Fortune IA
vored the Bermuda and she escaped
notice. No arrests have yet beea
made of any members of the Bermu-

SEEDS.
Some Peculiar Charges Made Against
the Department.


WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE clos
Ing of the contract for furnishing seeds
for general distribution by the govern
ment has resulted in filing charges at
the department of agriculture by
Bresian, Goodwin & Co.. a Chicago
seed firm, against Secretary Morton.
The allegations are that their bid
though the lowest, was refused be-
cause the firm urged the passage of
a resolution providing for the revival
of the distribution Of seeds. notwith-
standing Secretary Morton's protests
that the reports furnished by the Of
ficerS of the department of Secretary
Morton, to Senator Proctor, chairman
of the senate committee on agriculture.
and to Mr.. Wadsworth, chairman of
the house committee, had been ma
nipulated in order to show that the
firms seeds were below the standard:
that Assistant Secretary Dabney had
insisted on the company, in case it re-
ceived the award, using the machines
of the Brown Bag Filling Machine
company, and that Dabney had de-
cided against the company because of
q refusal to do this. 1t was alleged.
furthermore, that the secretary and his
assistants falsely stated that the COM
pany refused to use its name on seed
packets. Secretary Morton and other
officials OF the agricultural department
make absolute denial of the charges
and say the award of the seed con-
tract was based on a percentage of
purity and germinative power of the
seeds tested by the department last
year at the time when there was no
prospect of further distribution.
Secretary Morton said today that
when he found the distribution of
common seeds was required by law he
asked Senator Proctor and Represen-
tative Wadsworth to go over the bids
with him, and after careful and DELHI
crate consideration of all the bids and
records kept by the department.. it was
decided, Senator Proctor first making
the suggestion, TO offer D. Landreth &
co. Of Philadelphia a lump sum of s7o.-
600 to furnish the vegetable seed. and
l.. l.. May Of st. Paul, Mimi, $1,000 to
furnish the flower seeds. Landreths
original bid was $4,000. May bid half
a cent per paper for flower seeds. The
two bids were called in, the offers ac-
cepted and the contracts signed This
made $4,000 more than the bids of the
Chicago firm, but the action, the sec
cebary said, was based on the RELIABLE
.ty, facility ana essential nearness to
Washington of the Landreth company.
Mr.. John N. Baldwin of Council
Bluffs, iowa, counsel for the seed com
pany, and Mr.. Blaslan, one of the
6rn, today retained Messrs. Worthing-
on and Tarner of this city and in
structed them to file suit for 100000
damages for Libel. Suit will be based

Nebraska.

OMAHA, April 1.-THE matter of Sc
lecting delegates to the state conven-
ton of Nebraska Democracy came up
today in Omaha and developed a very
exciting situation. The anti-silver men
had not publicly expressed any inten-
ton of making a contest and the
silver Democrats made no special effort.
Quietly the anti-silver people secured
proxies in country precincts and when
the convention opened vote developed
the fact that the silver people were out
voted in their own convention by one
vote. For time it looked as if the
affair would break up in violence.
Warm words were passed and the trick
of the anti-silver people roundly de-
nounced. Two sets of delegates were
finally selected.

CLEVELAND, O., April 1.-THE Bar
Iron association continued it's session
at the Weddell house today. 1t was
currently reported that there had been
a dissolution of the old organization
and that an effort was being made to
form new association. The demise of
the old association was attributed to
the fact that it was not possessed of
sufficient strength to control the output
and accordingly many of the old mem
bers declined to participate in any at
tempt to raise prices, fearing outside
competition. It was further stated that
a strong effort was to be made to or
ganize new association, which should
undoubtedly have sufficient strength to
control the entire output of bar iron
in the United States.
When seen, Secretary Nut of the as
ISOLATION refused to confirm or deny
the report that the old association had
been dissolved.

cation of the B. Y A, in May, 1895
so courteously extended an invitation
10 the Athletic association of the Uni
Verslty OF Utah to meet them in an
athletic contest, as you know, the in
Vltation was most heartily accepted
ana the result was most satisfactory.
Inc Athletic association would have
Ielt delicate in accepting so much at
the hands OF the students of the B. Y.
A, mad 1T not been our firm intention
10 extend a similar invitation to you
to participate in our field day sports
OF this year, and to show you the same
hospitality with which you greeted u.s.
Such mas been our intention up to
the present time, when we find that,
owing to the financial condition of the
ASSOCIATION, and lack of proper appara-
tus for training purposes, that it is
impossible for us TO proffer you the
intended invitation.
The association has been struggling
against debit all winter but we prob
ably shall not be free from debit before
the end of this year, and then by the
beginning of next year we hope to be
able to entertain you as you wish. We
are all very much disappointed but
trust you understand our position and
IN RMS case will take the earnest will
for the deed.
Yours sincerely.

Dear Sir-We of the University of
Utah, having heard you have organized
football team at your school have
decided that we should live to have a
game between the teams of the two
institutions.
YOU nave, no doubt, received the COM
mun1cation sent to you by the Univer-
sity Athletic association, in which we
told you it would be impossible to have
contest this spring between our track
teams, on account of the condition of
our finances. 1t is hard for US to give
up the long cherished idea We think
| that by a game of football during the
coming conference we may be able to
somewhat replenish our store, and af-
ter all have grand athletic tourna-
ment here little later on this spring.
A meeting now of our football teams
would not only be of service in carry
ing out this plan, but would also be a
means of increasing interest in the
proposed track athletic meet
AS for the date of the game, we can
not as yet name any certain time, but
1t must take place during conference.
What we want to know is, will you
play After that, arrangements may
be easily made.
We will guarante that your railroad
fare will be paid; that your expenses
while in this city will be paid, and also
that you will be received with open
arms, as it were, by us.
OF course, it must be understood, that
the game be played according to 1895
r ugby rules. Anxiously awaiting a
reply, we are yours, respectfully,

taught school in Salt Lake City until
April the 1st, when he came to Provo,
and remained until April the 4th. From
sturdy boys he organized team that
was able to score against the univer-
sity team of years practice.
We met the University of Utah, not
with the expectation of winning, but
with the intention of accommodating
them according to their request; that
they, poor fellows, might be enabled
to carry on their field day sports later

we considered that a spring game, and
as we have a we'll trained team.
We have little to say regarding our
treatment while there. Such matters
as stealing our lemons, throwing our
clothes out at the window, refusing us
a bucket to get water in should, per-
haps, not be mentioned.
AS to the sang froid it was with us,
and is still with us. We are willing
and anxious to meet the u. of u. boys
at any place. at any time, at any
thing; be it on the gridiron, on the
diamond, in the field, or on the rostrum.

Calls His Attention.

NEW YORK, April ia World
special from London says: Colonial
Secretary Chamberlain, it is reported in
well-informed circles, has capled to
President Kruger, calling his atten-
ton to the long delay in answering the
invitation to visit England. Mr. Cham
berlain intimated that unless a definite
reply is received Immediately so that
a personal conference may be had in
London over the Uitlander grievances,
other measures may be taken to secure
remedy for those grievances.
All this points to long contem-
plated plan to ultimately annex the
Transvaal. On the other hand the
Matabele rising may hasten or per-
haps complicate the matter
1t is obvious that the settlers will be
in great peril unless the British forces
are sent to their assistance Dutch
feeling in Natal and Cape Colony is
still so excited on account of the Jane
son raid that the British governors of
both Natal and Cape Colony have
warned the home government that the
landing of large British force in
either colony would be accepted by the
Dutchmen as a direct menace to in
tegrity of the Transvaal and even of
the Orange Free State.
