Spanish and American Vessels in Concert.
To Prevent Cuban Patriots
 Doing the Blockade.
The Three Friends an Object of SuS- picIon-The Leaders Hope to
 OutWit Their Foes.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Aug. 15.- With a Spanish warship combing the east coast of Florida, and every point of importance watched by United States revenue cutters, the sending out of the next filibustering expedition by the Cufbans promises to be attended by many thrilling incidents. What plan the Cubans will adopt to elude the Spanish warships, and the United States revenue cutters is not known, but they are proceeding with the prep arations for an expedition as though the coast was clear.
 Great quantities of arms and ammu- milton have been received here in the last three weeks, and but for the watchfulness of the United States au- thorities, would not be aboard of ves- sels bound for Cuba. These munitions are stored on the St. Johns river, be- low Jacksonville. It is alleged that the Cubans opened negotiations with Cap tain Broward of the famous filibusterer Three Friends, offering him a large sum of money to make another trip to Cuba, but just at this time the revenue cutter Boutwell, appeared at Jackson vile and anchored alongside the Three Friends.
 It is said that the Cuban leaders also made an effort to meet the Laurada, which left Philadelphia some days ago and place the arms aboard her. but a spanish warship was off St. Augustine and their plan failed. It is also stated that Horatio Rubens of the Cuban junta, New York. has sent a man on the yacht Minim, for the pur- pose of meeting the Laurada and warn ing her to keep clear of Florida waters.
 The Cubans attribute the boldness of the Spaniards in sending a warship !nto Florida waters to President Cleve- lands recent proclamation ordering a more stringent enforcement of the neutrality laws.
 A. large man-of-war having three masts and supposed to be a Spaniard was sighted off Anastasia island, op- poslte St. Augustine, last Sunday night. heading north.
 The warship is evidently trying to intercept the Cuban filibustering steamer Laurada. Horatio Rubens the Cuban legal advisor, returned from Fernand1na late last night. He went with w. N. Borden yesterday on a yacnt to meet the Laurada to deliver messages. 0'
 Among the sympathizers there is m talk contrary to the belief that the arms and munitions will soon steal clear of spying eyes and be landed ~nere ao Will do the most good.

A SAD DEATH.
The Wife of District Attorney Nor.
 rison Passes Away Suddenly.

Journal7Miner: A gloom was cast over this community this morning when the announcement was made that Mrs. R. B. Morrison had died very suddenly during the early morn ing hours. Her condition three or four days ago was such that Dr. Mo Candless, the attending physician, called Dr. Hall in consultation, and both physicians expressed the opinion that the case was a very serious one, altho ngh it was thought yesterday the crisis had passed, and she ap- peared much better. Her husband and sister felt quite encouraged at her apparently improved condition, and confidently hoped that she would be able to be up again in a few days. But alas the grim messenger was hovering nearer the loved one than her friends had any reason to suspect.
 At daylight this morning she was awake and spoke to her nurse and some time afterwards on going to her bed she was discovered to be dead, having apparently died while asleep.
 Deceased was an exceptionally bright woman of fine attainments, was a lov- ing wife and devoted mother, and was universally loved and respected by all who knew her, and in her death the community suffers a severe loss.

The burglar dropped to the ground with a scream which re- vealed to the astonished brothers that the burglar was a woman. The neigh borhood was quickly aroused and the woman, who proved to be a Mrs. Bourne, was conveyed to her home, where she now lies in a precarious condition. Mrs. Bourne is we'll con- nected, but has long been a victim of the opium habit
 The druggists being aware of her failure have refused to sell her opium or laudanum and being thus unable to obtain it from any source she finally became so crazed as to resort to burg lary to secure it.
