a description OF the fellow and are hot on
his tracks.
For very good reasons the Officers ask
that the name OF the Individual be kept
out of print for a few days.

Sylvanian. This II is that adds an increased
interest to the attempted burglary. Fur

arrest is made.
GUARDING THE CAPITOL.
The Capitol is qua rtied every night. No
one is admitted after the doors are closed

Benjamin Guerra. charged with having
violated the neutrality law in connection
with the alleged Bermuda fiibustering

Basillo Del villa, a Cuban Spaniard, who
was in the witness chair when court ad-
journed last Thursday Afternoon, was re-
called to the stand nd 4 fter some objections
to his testifying had been overruled by the
court.
The witness told of having known a
man named Amador and another named
Hernandez. Both of them had been on
board the Hawkins and the Bermuda. Wit
ness had been introduced TO a person whom
everybody called Gen. Ruiz, who had
given him (witness) a machete, revolver,
and pair of spurs. Ruiz had told witness

witness had been placed in command of
seven men.

went on board the tug McCaldin Brothers,
with about sixty other men. The tug pro-

One Being Arranged for Easter That

A new idea will lend interest to Il lunch
con that is to be given during the Easter
holidays by a school girl. The table
will have as a centerpiece a nest of ex-
ceisior, completely covered with smilax,
maidenhair ferns and violets.
Within the nest there are to be little
Easter gifts, or more properly spea king,
Easter favors, for the guests. To each
OF these favors a ribbon OF pale violet
or green is TO be attached, and then laid
across or along the table to the place
of the guest for whom it is intended, the
end being made into 4 graceful bow.
These ribbons are to be considered as
merely decorative until Just before the
guests leave the table, when the flowers
and ferns are to be lifted from the TOP
Of the nest, and light 'reining-in' move
ment Of each ribbon will bring the gift
