 Men and Arms Said to Have Eiuded the
 Vigilance of the Revenue Cutters and

 Cuba.
 NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, Jan. 29.-The Register last night said:
 1t was asserted this afternoon on the highest authority that three vessels of the Cuban insurgents had been fitted up on the coast of Long Island. only a snort distance from this city. and sent safely to the island loaded down with arms and supplies for the insurgents cause. For several months the work of fitting out the craft has been in progress, and it was stated that the last vessel was a brigantine. and left It's port on the coast only month ago.
 The vessels have been able to make such an unsuspected escape through the fact that the government authori- ties were watching for them at the New York end of the sound, while the boats slipped away by Montauk point and New London.
 The main value of the supplies for the Cuban cause lay in the arms ship ped. These were obtained, it was stated, from the towns in this vicinity and were transported to the objective point on the coast quietly, where they were taken on board the boat and got away later. The insurgents have found, 1t was said, nearly as many and as willing hands in executing the mis- sion as the slaves found in the cele- brated underground railway before the war

 The other volunteers of the place in- stead of getting ready to defend the town, came out and joined Vega with their arms and ammunition. They were about forty in number.
 Last evening Gen. Pando left this point on board the south coast steamer Amendez, but no one knows where he is going. While Gen. Pando was leav- ing the Spanish gunboat Estrella came up bringing 25 wounded and sick soldiers
 An immense number of persons are applying to the governor here for pass ports since they have heard that Gen. Weyler is coming, and greater still is the number of men who daily join the rebels.

 WASHINGTON, Jan. 39.-A subcom- mittee of the senate committee on for eign relations yesterday heard MT. 7. S. Spalding, the projector of the Ha- waiian cable, who has twenty years exclusive right to land a cable on the Hawaiian islands, subject to the assent of this government. Mr. Spalding exhibited samples of cables, explained what he wanted to do, what he asked of this government, and made a long argument showing the commercial and military advantages to be derived from such cable.
 Several alternate propositions were submitted, but the one upon which the committee looked with the most favor was that which contemplates the payment of lump sum per year for the use of the cable for government purposes. This sum was fixed by Mir. Spalding at Sl60000 per annum. He will supplement- his oral statement of yesterday with a written brief.

Several Convictions for which the Lowest
 Possible Penalties were Inflicted.

DECATUR, Ind, Jan. 2S.-Judge Hal Ter, gave his decisions this morning in the Amish cases tried here yesterday. Jacob Swartz was found guilty of mar rying his cousins and solemnizing mar riage without license and fined five dollars for each offense. David Swartz was found guilty on two indictments for marrying cousins without license and fined five dollars for each. Chris tian Swartz was tried by jury for for nication and was acquitted, the jury passing acquittal on Judge Haller's charge. The state will appeal this case to the supreme court and make it a test case.
 There was great surprise in court when Attorney Reed. for defendants, announced that the remaining preach CTS charged with violating marriage laws would plead guilty and throw themselves on the mercy of the court. Judge Heller was very lenient with them, assessing the lowest possible fne-five dollars for each offense.
 Those fined are: Jacob, Davis and Christian Swartz, all deacons in the church.
 The cases against other memb CTS of their flock were dismissed.

 SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 27.-The Daily Report this evening prints the story of the escape from the Siberian mines of Prof. Schwenicke, who before being condemned to an indefinite term of punishment held position in the Uni versity of Moscow.
 Schwenicke came to this country in 1893 and visited the Worlds fair, going thence to New York. While there he came in contact with the prominent members of the Russian colony Among them was the editor of the New York Liberty, the anarchistic journal of that city. Upon his return to Moscow he was arrested and thrown into prison. The detectives of the Rus sian government had reported his meeting with the editor of Liberty in New York.
 At the trial he was accused of having been in confidence with the editor of Liberty, and Prof. Schwenicke, not knowing that the editor was nihilist, admitted frankly that he had been talking with him. He said, however, that the meeting was merely casual one, and no political matters had been discussed.
 The court quickly convicted him and sent him to the town of Yakootsk.
 The governor of the prison, finding that he was not of the ordinary stripe of convict, but was university pro- lessor, seized the opportunity of hay ing his children educated properly. He excused Schwenicke from hard la- Dor and set him to work to teach the children.
 Some time after civil engineer who had known Schwenicke in Mos COW came to the place and assisted him to escape. He made his way to Yokohama, where friends helped him to purchase ticket for San Francisco, via Victoria. The professor is Rus sian, of high intelligence, and speaks nine languages.

The dispatch adds that Minister Terrell denounces the charges as calumny, and Secretary Smith of the American board says that the charge against the missionaries of being disturbers Is an insult.

Profitable Farming.

Some weeks ago G. A. Lowry, OF
Lakeside, Louisiana, was in this
city aud gave US a few points on
rice farming. Mr.. Lowry came to
this country from Terre Haute, Ind,
three years ago. He now owns a
tract of 1000 acres of fine rice land
on Lake Arthur, most of which is in
cultivation. This year his crop
amounted to more than $4,000 bar
rails, which sold for So 90 and up,
wards per barrel, realizing some
thing like $4,000 from his crop
Mr.. Lowry has a pumping plant, and
thus makes a crop every year, wheth.
er it is a wet or dry year. He re-
marked during the conversation,
that rice farming, when the rice
farm is improved rightly, is four
times more profitable than corn and
wheat farming in Illinois or In
diana.
There are large bodies Of land in
Southwest Louisiana that can be
purchased and improved, including
pump plant, for not more than thirty
dollars per acre all told, that will
make just as good rice land as the
lands owned and operated by Mr..
Lowry.-Lake Charles American,
