der a prominent florist of this town,
received a box by express yesterday
which he supposed contained seeds and
bulbs, but which, after he had opened

town.

of the outside boards loose, discovered
that there was another box inside,
packed carefully with excelsior. He
still piled the ak with vigor, and in the
second box found a third one enclosed
with zinc covering. His ak had cut
an opening in the zinc box large enough
to enable him to tear the outside sheet
away and disclose q. large number of
tin boxes labeled "Rhenish Explosive

Schrader saw that the boxes con
tanned dynamite and. almost tainted
with fright as the edge Of the ak had
penetrated one of the small tin boxes.

TO RECOGNIZE CUBA.
A Resolution of That Kind is Adopted
By Bolivian Deputies.

Lima, Peru, Nov 14.-Something of
sensation has been caused here by the
news received yesterday from Sucre,
Bolivia, of a favorable report made by
the committee on foreign affairs of the
Bolivian chamber of deputies on res
olution to recognize the Cuban insur-
gents as belligerents. On hearing the
news the Spanish envoy to Peru, Senior
de VanellO, who is also accredited to
Bolivia, Immediately set out for Suere
to look after Spanish interests at that
capital and presumably to lodge a pro-
test on behalf of his government
against the proposed action.
Further news shows that the depu
ties held a stormy session to consider
the resolution. The president of the
chamber declared the resolution adopt
ed and great confusion ensued.
