INVADED JAMAICA.
SPANISH WARsHIP LANDS MEN ON
THE ISLAND.
Dry HarbOr a Rendezvous For Cuban
Patriots With Arms and Munitions
Of War For the Insurgents.

New YORK, July S.-A special to
the Herald from Kingston, Jamai-
ca, says: An officially recognized
rumor is current in Kingston, that
Spanish warship recently secret
ly landed force at Dry Harbor to
kidnap a Cuban, alleged to be the
chief mover in filibustering ex-
petition.
His place is conveniently stu
ated at a lonely spot near Dry
Harbor. In the neighborhood are
many old Spanish ruins in the
secret cellars, of which it is known
that Cuban insurgents nave from
time to time hidden arms and
shipped them off to Cuba at their
leisure, defying the native detec-
tives, who have always failed to
locate these store places.
Matters stood thus when a few
days ago just before daylight, an
open boat with eleven men on
board, arrived off Runaway Bay
on the north side Of the island.
The boat had come from Cubaes-
tanas. The mon on board were l..
Parade, Senior Saloma, j. E. Luz
cones, B. Magarro, p. Forma, G.
Lavio, NJ. Laro, P. H. Morales, a
servant and two reporters for
American papers.
They had come, 1t subsequently
trsnspired, with dispatches for
Antonio Maceo from the junta.
Three of these men were put ashore
at Runsy beach with instructions
to make their way with all speed
to Kingston, on the opposite side
of the island. The men travelled
by road and reached the railway
line at the Ewarton station. When
about to board the train the three
men were arrested by a police SER
geant and taken to Dry Harbor.
The medical authorities ordered
not only the eleven men, but the
police who arrested the men and
the driver Of the conveyance from
Ewarton to Dry Harbor, to be
placed in quarantine.
Senior Rondi president of the
junts, and couple of prominent
Cubans, finally went over to Dry
Harbor, but were not permitted to
approach closer than 100 yards of
those in quarantine. They carried
on conversation in Spanish with
the messengers who brought re-
port Of the recent battle in Puerto
Principe. They spoke of the posi-.
tion OF the insurgents and Of their
future program. The organization
and description of the Cuban forces
left nothing to be desired, and
Havana was at their mercy.
1t developed that the Spanish
generals decided upon course OF
definite action with view Of
forcing matters.

The Greek Was all Right.

AURORA, ILL.,, July S.-The
trouble which occurred here Sat
urday, when two misguided
patriots pulled down a Greek flag
surrounded by American emblems,
is growing rather serious. A rep
resentative of the Greek consul
gene raj of Chicago is in town with
instructions to investigate the I'M
pleasant incident thoroughly and
report the details to the consul.
The representative said that the
Greek Demetrisu ought not to have
been molested, as he had his ban
ner completely surrounded by
American flags. This is eminent
ly proper under international
usage and is a custom acknowl-
edged among nations at peace
with each other. Furthermore the
Greek was arrested by the orders
of the mayor and taken away
without being given a chance 10
protect his stock.
The consul general says an
apology must be made, and the
flags be returned besides compen-
sating the man for the loss of his
stock.
Mayor Scott will 60 to Chicago
to arrange matters.

porary chairman had the effect Of
causing many of the silver men to
think it may still be neces-
sary to abrogate the two
thirds rule. They expect to
gain some votes over the vote cast
for Daniel, but are unable to de-
termine just where they will secure
the Ga more votes necessary to
nominate presidential candidate
under the two-thirds rule. They
count confidently upon securing
two of the votes cast by Maine for
Senator Hill and three from West
Virginia; also, upon the result OF
the contests of Nebraska and South
Dakota being favorable to them.
They will also gain twenty votes
on the increase of territorial votes
from two to six. This will make
the gain 40 votes, sufficient to in
crease the total to COS, or fifteen
short OF the necessary 620. II

when they show ability to control

FOOT PADS AT DENVER, COL

CHICAGO, Illinois, May 22.-The re-
cent decision of the school authorities
OF the state OF Washington, and By
which the Rand McNally biographies
are ordered used in all of the public
schools OF that state, is regarded in
publishing circles as vital blow at
the schooi-book trust, especially as it
follows upon the heels OF similar action
by the sc bool authorities CT New York,
Brooklyn, Jersey City, Harrisburg and
Springfield, Mass. A year ago, it
looked to The trade as though the
school.book trust had firmly intrenched
itself and had secured monopoly in
this country. School boards and
county education commissioners, how
ever, have not proved as amenable to
its influence as had been calculated
upon, and the result is that within that
period the textbooks of the Rand
McNally corporation, which has been
the most vigorous and active opponent
of the trust, have been officially intro
duced into over 10000 schools, east,
west and south.
