SECURES A FLAG At LAST.


THE STEAMSHIP BERMUDA TO
SAIL WITH AN EXPEDITION TO
CUBA.
The famous steamship Bermuda has
at last secured a flag. For some time
the Cubans of Philadelphia have had
in view another expedition to Cuba,
but the steamers Three Friends and
Laurada, which carried arms to the in
surgents, are now in the hands Of the
government, charged with violation of
the neutrality laws. Despite the pro-
tests Of the Spanish consul, the registry
was secured from the diplomatic rep
resentatives of the Mexican Govern
ment in the United States, and the yes
sci now flies the flag of that govern
ment. She will never be known as the
Bermuda again, her name having been
changed to the Benito Juares. after tie
Mexican general noted for his bravery
on the battle field.
Nearly hundred men enlisted to the
cause OF Cuba and are now waiting for
an opportunity to leave for that place.
They intended starting on the Laurada,
but the arrest of Captain Murphey
prevented their embarkment. It is be-
lieved that, with the release Of the Ber-
muda, it will not be many days before
the Cuban patriots who are now in
Philadelphia awaiting an opportunity
to get away, will be on their way to the
island. The Laurada still lies in the
Delaware. and it is a mystery to the
Wilmington officials why her owners
do not claim her.

SECOND WARD DEMOCRATS.
THEY HAVE THEIR OWN TROU
BLEs THESE ANTE-ELECTION


THEY HAVE THEIR OWN TROU
BLEs THESE ANTE-ELECTIoN
DA1S.
The Democrats Of the Second ward
have their own troubles. Last night
two ward meetings were held there.
one at Third and Pine streets and the
other at the Esmeralda Bay Club
house. The meetings represented op-
posing factions Of the party in the
ward. A peculiar thing about the
split is that both sides always unani-
mously favor the same candidates.
The trouble seems TO be simply a
trial of strength between opposing To-
cal leaders of the town side and the
south side.
IL will be remembered that the
Walsh faction some time ago met in
Liberty Hall and elected Mr.. Welsh
ward chairman. At he same time the
Keating faction. held a meeting and
elected Daniel O'Byrne chairman
Both men claimed to be regularly
elected and presumably to settle the
dispute, the Heating men called for a
primary at the polls. This was held
and the Keating men were successful,
their opponents refusing to put up a
ticket.
But Mr.. Welsh refuses to accept the
returns of the primary and each side
met again last night, the Welsh faction
to elect delegates to the hundred COM
mittee and Keating to organize for the
campaign.
The Keating adherents met at Third
and Pine streets, with O'Byrne as chair
man and John Murphy secretary, and
elected this executive committee: Will
liam II. Hayes, Charles G. Cannon and
James Mcmahon. II was decided to
meet next Tuesday night to elect dis
trict delegates.
Mr.. Welsh was chairman Of the
melting held in Esmeralda Bay Club
house, and these delegates were elected:
J. Francis Quinn, Augustus Welsh,
John Garrity. Charles Graul was
elected treasurer of the club.
